[QUOTE="keidalgrim, post: 999138, member: 135655"] Hi all: I switched from Windows to my first Mac about 2 months ago. Several questions but I'll start with this one: Whenever I install a new application I follow the directions to drag the app icon onto the Applications folder. When I do that (and then open up the applications folder), instead of having the correct icon, I have an icon that looks like a couple sheets of paper with a gray NO symbol across them (you know, the circle with a line through it). I can usually fix this by pulling that icon (app) out of the Apps folder onto the desktop (where it magically changes back to its correct icon) and then dragging it back into the Apps folder. Is this normal? Doesn't seem correct. Thank you in advance for helping this noob out. Keith [/QUOTE]
