having troubles, and need a little help pls
 

hey peoples,
how are we all? well anyway lets get to the point, im having troubles opening a program i just downloaded!!! I recently downloaded final pro cut 3 and it doesnt seem to open. Everytime i click on it, it just opens up the limewire program. It is a dmg file (whatever that means) and i was just wondering what that meant and how i was to go about getting this program to work!!! Like do i need a certain program to be able to run it or not, well id much appeciate a little help, and thanx:)bye

It has been my experience.........
 

I could be wrong, but I don't think .dmg downloads work with a Mac. I think they are pc DLs.

Anyway, I use the filter in options to ignore them.

Also, I think it is a no-no to mention file names on the BB.

Have a nice day.

.dmg files
 

Hi,

dmg file are disk image files for the mac, to open them you need to go to your utilities folder and open 'disk copy' and then locate the dmg file. This will mount an installer file on your desktop and hey presto.

*I have also heard that Final Cut Pro has a pretty impressive piracy code in it, so you may have problems.*

Disk Copy produces .img files not .dmg files
 

At least on my Mac.

Mac OSX disk image
 

If you are using os9 and disk copy you will have .img files. A .dmg file is an osx, (that's 10) disk image, from disk copy mostly, but many other programs use them too. Toast for one. The key words here are OSX files. If you are running anything less than os10 the file will do you no good because more often than not the software is for os10.

yeah .dmg is a os x disk immage your fuked if you have os 9 ummm toast will open .img I think stuffit expander dose but i just use toast.
