[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 886060, member: 24098"] On a Mac, most software is distributed in DMG files. A DMG file is a disk image - think of it as a virtual CD-ROM. When you double-click on a DMG file, it's like inserting a disc in your drive. You open the virtual disc and your program is inside. If you want to install the program, you simply drag and drop it into the Applications folder. When you're done installing, you simply eject the virtual disc by dragging and dropping it into the Trash. From there on out, you can access the program by double-clicking it within the Applications folder. In your case, it sounds as though you finished the first step, opening the virtual disc. Then you may or may not have opened the program, but you never actually took the extra step of installing it. Some time later, you dragged and dropped the DMG file into your trash and got rid of it. If that's true, you're good to go. [/QUOTE]
