Lately when I D/L a .dmg, the image will decompress then mount and cleanup, but then it starts alternating between decompressing and cleaning up in the D/L window and doesn't stop. The image is on the desktop and the app is in it and is able to be installed. Any ideas??? Thanks
W....liar or idiot? Pick two.

my first step in dealing with OS X app/system weirdness is to check for errors (via disk utility while booted from the OS X CD-ROM, or the fsck command when in single-user mode) and then repair permissions.

you could also try deleting disk copy's prefs.

Linfidels harken! 'The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.'
