[QUOTE="topshot, post: 183901"] Basically it works like this: 1) You downloaded a program from the internet that was compressed - .gz file 2) Safari uncompressed this file which contained a disk image file - .dmg file 3) When the disk image file is mounted, it shows up as a mounted disk drive - the external HDD icon with the knife through it. What you did wrong was to load the program directly from the disk image, hence when ever you try to load the application, it mounts the disk image file. Here is what you need to do: 1) you can get rid of the .gz file - just drag it to the trash 2) mount the disk image and open it. Inside is the mactheripper application. Drag this application to your applications folder or to your own home folder. 3) then, drag the White HDD icon with the words mactheripper to the trash. You will notice that the trash icon changes to an eject symbol. 4) Then drag the .DMG file to the trash. 5) If you have created a shortcut to mac the ripper on the Dock, drag it out to remove as it will be pointing to the disk image version. You need to create a new link to the one you copied to the hard drive. [/QUOTE]
