[QUOTE="technologist, post: 151325, member: 4134"] .dmg's are Disk iMaGe files...used to package applications for download. .apps are APPlications (executables.) When downloading an application, you mount the dmg by double-clicking it, and then install the app by dragging it to your hard disk (usually the Applications folder, but you can store it anywhere you like.) Then you can unmount (eject) the image and delete it. [/QUOTE]
