New to Mac Feel like need friendly help
 

I've down loaded files from limewire and can't make them install or do anything else.

But I'm really new to Mac.

Would some one please steer me to a document which tells me step-by-step how to decode or un "sit" or install or what whatever I need to do"

"Step-by-step"

Please?

When you say, "I've down loaded files from limewire and can't make them install or do anything else...", do you mean the LimeWire Program (Installer)
or do you mean that you have downloaded things using LimeWire ?

In other words, is your first problem, aside from general guidance, about getting help to install LimeWire ?

Don't worry... There are many crazy people here who can help...
Some are even patient !!!

Sorry for the confusion. I've downloaded and installed Lime wire and it is working fine. I'm able to find what I am looking for and then able to download the file.

My problem is in using the file I have downloaded. This is a program that I have downloaded and it came to me as a ".sit" file. This file unzipped to two seperate files: a .doc file with the serial number, and a ".toast" file which is the program. When I try to open the ".toast" file with Toast Titanium it tells me that it can't detect the format.

If I tell Toast to go ahead and try then it wants me to specify pregap, post gap and sector size and I have no idea what those values should be.

Ultimately I get error code #52736 from Toast.


Maybe what I have is a corrputed file and I'm beating a dead horse?
