Before we go any further, Audio Hijack is a completely different tool
than is Amadeus Pro, recording might be about the only thing they have
in common, Audio Hijack Pro "hijacks" audio devices and applications

You can't delete the downloads folder, as it is a system standard.
Anything that's put there==by Mail or Safari or anything else that
downloads stuff from the net--follows the same behavioral laws as does
any other file or folder on your system. What do you mean by "work
with it?"
Drive replacement on the emac is dooable but apple don't want you to
do it. Opening it up is the easy part, but theres quite a lot of stuff
inside it which is in the way of the drive. Your probably not going to
break anything by having a look inside it so theres no harm in giving
it a go.

Hi Donna,
You can think of a disc image as a kind of external HD/.zip file. Inside the
.dmg file is the application with a .app extention. This is the file that
you need to coppy to your Applications folder. You can then return to the
dmg which will have appeared on your desktop and eject it.
I'll give it a go, thanks.
