when i go online to download a demo for a game the save file menu comes up but the file icon is blank, meaning there is no application or whatever to run it. I checked it out and it seems like all these files SHOULD work with my new mac book pro with OSX. Is there something i need to download to run programs or something i need to do on my computer?????

They are .dmg files and some of the games i tried to download are form the mac website.

Hi there and welcome,

have you got the '.dmg' files on your Desktop ?

If you double click the '.dmg' file then you should see a new disk icon appear, then the new game can be copied from this disk to your Applications folder on your Hard Disk...

If you can post a screen grab of what you are seeing...

regards

Hi there,

check your Firefox preferences...

It would appear that Firefox is trying to download the file to a locked folder...

These are my settings...

Hi there,

Open Disk Utility (Its in the Applications Folder-->Utilities folder) and do a "Repair Permissions" and then reboot and try again.
