AlexRmF Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hello everyone,I just downloaded utorrent for mac, as I was previously using transmission and I noticed some big issues with it, and since I used utorrent for such a long time in windows, I thought I'd give it a try.I downloaded the .dmg , mounted it and drag'n'dropped the utorrent icon to the Applications folder.Everything is ok, the program is running, but I can't unmount the .dmg, because if I unmount it, the utorrent app disappears from the applications folder and I'm a bit confused,Is this supposed to happen? I mean, doesn't the program install as it should and stay in the applications folder?Thanks for your feedback,Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 What macos version are you using?And why are you mounting the dmg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRmF Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi DreadWingKnight,Mac Version 10.5.8Utorrent Version 0.9.2 (17267)I'm mounting because it should be mounted (at least for every program I used that was the case)Since the .dmg is an image, I'm thinking there's no other way.Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOneButMe Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 You can drag the .app out of the .dmg and into /Applications to not have to mount the .dmg every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRmF Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 @NoOneButMethanks for the suggestion, but I was already doing that.I dragged the app to the application folder, but as soon as i unmount the image, the app just disappears and have to mount the image again then drag the app to the applications folder... so it's an installation loop or something.not sure what to do next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Again, why are you mounting the .dmg? It's not an image in this case, it's an archive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRmF Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 @DreadWingKnightAn archive for me is something like .rar or .zip, not a .dmg.Anyway, I'm not against that, but maybe if you could explain how am I supposed to treat the .dmg as an archive?What do I need to do with it?Thanks and regards,Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoOneButMe Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 @DreadWingKnight: Thats what AlexRmF said he was doing. @AlexRmF: You're sure the file gets copied over and not an alias being created to the dmg? Try cmd + c'ing the app and cmd + v'ing it in /Applications to copy/paste it over, instead of drag and drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
