Hello Debbie, A DMG file is a disk image. When you get one of these, you need to open it with Cmd-o. You'll then find a file browser window. Interact with this and if it contains a PKG file, open that with Cmd-o also. If it contains an APP file, just copy it to your Applications folder.

If it is a .app file then you copy it to the apps folder and it will install. If it is a ..pkg file run it and it will install and put the app in the apps folder. In copying the app's file to the app;s folder just know that it is installed. Tc. On Sep 13, 2012, at 4:09 AM, Debbie April Yuille
