I am new to MAc and OS10. How do I open down loads. I click on the Icon and it asks me what program to open with. One is text and the others are VCD players etc. Thanks Ed
Hello edailey, You can open text documents with either Mac OS X's TextEdit or Microsoft Word. A good Mac media player (which plays VCDs) is VLC Media Player version 0.8.6. Regards.
what are you downloading? videos? music? software? is it mac compatible? if you right click and it shows vlc, chances are, its a video file. vlc usually plays pretty much anything you throw at it.
ok is it .RAR>need unarchiver to unrar file (free app) .ZIP>need uncrchiver to unzip file (free app) .DMG>should open no matter what .EXE>does not work on mac if you downloaded this and the zip or rar or dmg said mac it then is a virus and should be immediatly deleted also on another note certain video files need flip4mac free version
Unarchiver will expand compressed or encoded files, but don't forget the classic Mac file decoder/expander that is also a universal binary: Stuffit Expander. Aside from running Windows with either Boot Camp or Parallels, .exe files can be run with either Darwine/WineHelper or CrossOver on a Mac without installing Windows.
