i just got a mac a few weeks ago and i wanted to download limewire to it. I keep on trying to but i can't figure out how to get it to run... i need a step by step description as to how to download it... i got to the point where i click on the download button on the internet page but after that it says taht the program i am trying to download is an application and do i want to continue... i click yes... then when it finishes i cna't open it... and it is really starting to get frustrating cause i've never used a mac before and neither has my dad and he always helps me with all of my computer problems...

Well, if the Limewire installer is a .dmg file, this is a disk image and you should just be able to double-click it to open. If it's a .sit file, this is a compressed StuffIt file (for a long time this was the compressed standard for Mac like a .zip file) and you need to download and install StuffIt Expander from Alladin Software (I believe -- do a web search for StuffIt). After installing StuffIt, just double-click on the file, expand it, and then you'll probably see the .dmg disk image that's the actual installer.

You're downloading the Windows version. Download the Mac version.

What is the file extension at the end of the filename?
