[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1591672"] Let me summarize it for you. Sometimes the .dmg has in it an icon for the app and an icon looking like a folder named "Applications." All you need to do is drag the app icon and drop it on the Applications folder icon, as dtravis7 shows in #9 above. Sometimes all the .dmg has is an icon for the application itself, no Applications folder icon, so you have to drag the application icon to the Applications folder in Finder, like cradom pointed out in #7. Sometimes you get an application in the .dmg that is an installer program and you just run it like dtravis7 shows in #8. And finally, sometimes you get an icon that looks like an open cardboard box, not the application itself. That is the default icon of an installer file, which you run directly from the .dmg like dtravis7 showed in #8. It does get simpler as you gain experience with each one. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
