Hi, thanks for your answer.

I just noticed that it says that the Instagram app is for iPhone or iPad which I don't have. Is there a special one for Mac computers? You know, the actual computer that sits on a desk? hee hee

If you downloaded a Mac OS X application from the Mac App Store, it’ll be in the Applications folder.

If you downloaded a Mac OS X application from another source, it’ll be in the Downloads folder and may need to be installed.

If you downloaded an iOS application, it can’t be run on a computer.
