Q: I'm NEW! How do you save downloaded software to
the hard drive of your mac?
This has me totally perplexed.
I downloaded some software and it is in my downloads. I clicked on it expecting it to ask if I wanted it to run or be saved, but neither happened.
I can find the software in my downloads folder, but I need to save it specifically onto my (internal) hard drive. HOW?
This may be obvious to most, but I'm learning life the hard way!
Thanks much!

Hi its me again, just on my proper account.
Yes i mean the Applications folder the one that appears in the message, its a shortcut folder to your real apps folder, they are essentially the same thing, you can drag it to either of them ultimatly it will end up in the same place, in your applicatios folder on your hardrive.
The readme icon is usually just licence information on the app your putting on your computer you do not need to keep it once you have put the CCC app in your applications folder you can close the dialogue box and eject the virtual harddisc that will probably appear on your desktop. You can do this by dragging it down to the trash icon on your dock, which will as you get closer turn into an eject button.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards
