[QUOTE="wally247, post: 1744654, member: 388014"] [b]UPDATE but still confused[/b] Ok, so first..thanks for all of your help. I got it to download, but not in a good way. I was looking around and found macupdate.com and thought I would try their MacUpdate desktop. When I downloaded Chrome froze..and then so did the entire computer. I couldn't click or move my mouse or do anything so I had to power off. When I came back up I clicked on TeamViewer and it installed without any issue. So I'm 100% used to shutting down when something doesn't work in Windows but as I understand it I don't want to be shutting a Mac down all the time. I wouldn't have thought to reboot since I was kind of told by the Apple store lady not to unless necessary..which it was in this case. So my question is if I have some issue in the future how do I know if it's a normal error / problem or if a reboot may solve? Thank you, Wally [/QUOTE]
