[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 184897, member: 3850"] Well you don't really need the dmg after you've dropped the application it contained in your apps folder. But if you want to change your default downloads folder, just open Safari and select Safari->Preferences from the menu. Under 'General' you can change the d/l location. Open the .dmg, then grab the little app icon that's inside there (Not the white harddrive, the applications icon it contains). Drag that into your applications folder. When it's copied that over, drag the mounted image (white harddrive) onto the trash to eject it. Delete the .dmg file. No, but VLC (video lan client) should be able to play dvd's from all regions. Alternatively rip them using mactheripper (which removes the region encoding) and play them directly from your harddrive. (Open DVD player and select 'open video_ts file to open the film from your harddrive). No. The root user is hidden by default on OS X, you can't set your username to it. But a standard user account is an admin account and there's nothing you should be doing that you can't do with a regular account. It's all a bit different than windows, but basically you should be fine with the default user account that you create during the first boot. Yep: Visio is a knockoff of OmniGraffle. You can downloadl a demo at [url]www.omnigroup.com[/url] Unfortunately not: Your version is written specifically with the intel iMac in mind. Whilst most included applications should be universal, the partition scheme they use is different: Depends: If you already have a webserver/host you're happy with, and know what you're doing - then probably not. But if you're looking for a quick and easy way to share your pictures with the relatives or put up a personal/family/team website easily with iWeb, then it is quite useful. It's also nice for syncing information across multiple machines and performing automatic backups. There's a 60day limited test account you can demo, give it a whirl and see if you like it. Note: To find any of the apps I've mentioned here, go to versiontracker.com, enter the name and you should be able to download them from there. [/QUOTE]
