macmost.com/e-... Often when you download apps from third-party web sites you are given a disk image and need to do a drag-and-drop install of the app. New Mac users are sometimes not sure how this works and may not know what to do with the disk image or try to run the app while it is still in the disk image. Learn how to get the app into your Application folder and then run it from Launchpad, Spotlight or the Dock.

Thanks, this is exactly what a lifelong Windows user like me I needed to know because I was so confused! I bought my first ever Mac last week (M1 just blows away all other laptops).

@luismoreno9633 2 года назад

I just bought my m1 and I use it a lot in bed while having it on my lap on top of my blanket for like 3 hours a night and it amazes how it doesn't get anywhere near as warm as other laptops I've had.

thank you i got a macbook as my birthay gift and struggled learning how to do some stuff you helped me a lot

@brianroberthaines 2 года назад

Thank you for this. I'm a new Mac user and had just downloaded The Gimp image processor and was stuck. It's obviously very easy once you know how, but Apple don't show you how. They seem to design for people who respond well to an intuitive interface, but those of us who have a more literal mind need more explicit instructions a lot of the time.

@tonyabrego1 3 года назад

Seeing is believing. Using Mac PC after Windows seemed so different. My tendency is to be visceral. When it comes to learning I tend to go with someone that fits my learning needs. Guitar, flight sims, camera, etc. My first impression of your videos has all the check boxes checked. I didn't feel dumbed down because you spoke clearly and precise. Some tutorials have blaring music in the presentation and shaky video, blurry images or I can't understand every other word due to their tone or lack of pronunciation. Great smile reinforced the nice positive mentor position. I've subscribed and look forward to your next or past instructional tutorials. Tony from San Antonio, Texas.

@GroudFrank 3 года назад

For a platform that prides itself on the philosophy of "It just works", this is a very cumbersome way of installing applications.

@macmost 3 года назад

Apple provides a very easy "it just works" way of installing apps: The Mac App Store. But if developers want to no use it, then they can do what they want. What you are suggesting is that Apple forces all developers to use the Mac App Store, or perhaps be forced into using a specific way of installing. That's fine if you want that, but note that others do not want that at all.

@GroudFrank 3 года назад

@@macmost Sir, I wasn't suggesting anything of the sort. I understand some of you feel the need to religiously defend your platform and proselytize for it but I didn't come here to attack you or Apple. I simply made an observation, one I have heard even dedicated Mac users make. Fact remains that it is unintuitive. .exe, .deb, .rpm all provide one click solutions for app installation despite the fact that there is a Windows store and countless app stores/installers on Linux. Even flatpak and snaps installs are more intuitive than this. It is unintuitive, period. Your video did help though so thanks 👍

@macmost 3 года назад

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your original comment. Installers can be built just like I imagine they can be built for Windows apps. It is completely up to the developer. Apple doesn’t force them to do it any particular way.

@greebo7857 4 года назад

I like to keep the disk image files around for a while. I have plenty of disk space. The reason? Sometimes there is an app update I don't like. Like recently thee was an update to my preferred browser which disabled some functionality. So I uninstalled the update and reinstalled the app from the dmg. I then keep an eye on future updates to see if my issue gets fixed. It's sort of old fashioned thinking, but I find that it works if something gets changed too much.

I have followed your expertise on your wonderful tutorials and I have a question as I am stumped! (Senior here) I am attempting to associate folders with an app I purchased and upon attempting to R click to open - get info - the App does not appear. When i go to Applications I see my purchased app but it is greyed out so I can't associate the folder to the app as required. Your assistance would be most appreciated.

@redcater3918 20 дней назад

So after you drag the app you're installing into the application folder it is safe to eject it because you essentially used that disk image to move the app to your app folder?

@macmost 20 дней назад

Yes. See ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yqp6mC0DH6U.html

@mikerisner 4 года назад

Great instructions for explaining the concepts of installing software on a Mac! ... When it comes to uninstalling an app, I use AppCleaner. Drag the app from the Applications folder to AppCleaner (available for free), and it will examine the app files as well as the associated user data that probably would NOT be deleted during uninstall ... Another thing that has confused me in the past is when software cannot be installed because the author/developer can't be verified. I keep forgetting the ability to approve installation is in the Mac's Security settings.

@david1311-c3f 2 года назад

What do you recommend? Downloading apps from the store or like this from the website?

@jwalantbodi6139 Год назад

On the 'drag-and-drop to application folder screen/prompt', instead of dragging and dropping, I double clicked on the app icon and it seemed to do the same. Just wanted to confirm if it is true? (I can see the app in the application folder and launch it from there)

@macmost Год назад

Depends on the situation. Was it an installer instead of the app itself? Or, maybe were you prompted to move the app to the Applications folder?

Am I correct in thinking that if I don't open the DMG file and drag that to the apps folder then it'll have. Areas only instance of the app? Or did I make that up?

@macmost 2 года назад

Not sure what you are asking. "Areas only instance?" You drag it to Applications to install it. If you try to run it from the disk image some apps won't work properly or at all, others will work but it doesn't make sense to do it that way in any case.

@attomicchicken 2 года назад

@ravic1754 2 года назад

How come there is no disk image for all applications. For example, when I downloaded IntelliJ, I had to drag it into the application folder to install since it was a disk image. However, when i downloaded VisualStudio Code, it downloaded a zip file. When I opened it, a message popped up that the file was being expanded and then as soon as the message went away, a new visual studio program pops up in my downloads. I know it is installed because it shows up under my applications folder so my mac recognizes that it is an application. How is this possible without me having to drag it into the application folder to install it?

You can "eject" the disk image and then delete the dmg once you have installed the app.

Hi Gary. Is Clean My Mac an Apple program or not. I watched your video on how to delete files but it will not delete nor does it have the x beside it to delete.

@greebo7857 4 года назад

Clean My Mac is not from Apple, it's from MacPaw. It's not a bad app, but it doesn't really do anything you can't do in macOS if you learn how. I use it on my everyday machine but I wouldn't use it on a machine that had critical work on it. If you want to uninstall CleanMyMac it will do it itself. Use the inbuilt uninstaller in the app, and just click the checkbox for CMM. No, I'm not Gary.

I use both and this is not intuitive vs Windows. Dragging and dropping instead of actually stating Install with button with terms and conditions is not intuitive at all. Clicking the program for execute vs install it doesn't even say anything, and clicking the path just opens the application folder..Coupled that with a useless zoom in and out feature in the top right of the folder. And then still have to unmount the image.. I can't believe they have not fixed this method after all these years..
