[QUOTE="RiDE, post: 339342, member: 20712"] Welcome to Mac-Forums Dave! When you download an application you will see a .dmg on your desktop... double-click to open that (some auto-open to a new window).. a new window will open, and you will see the application Icon and probably a "Read Me" file. Simply click/hold on the application Icon and DRAG it to the Applications Folder. Now, close the window that still has the application Icon and the "read Me" file... now click/Hold the .dmg, and drag it to the trash. Now go into the Applications Folder, and find the Icon you are looking for... Double-click to open the application, it will probably go through an initial install, then... you're done, all set. It sounds like what you were doing is saving the .dmg (a common mistake when just getting stared) :D Let us know if this helps or if you have any questions. [/QUOTE]
