    Well lads small issue.I downloaded an update for expod. It's for importing music from an ipod to HD. Now every time I open the app an icon that resembles an external disk drive appears on my desktop. It comes back out of trash. What type of file is this and what do i do with it? Any help if possible is needed.Thanks

    It's a disk image. You didn't install the application.

    I assume you downloaded a dmg file. Then you opened it and probably dragged the app inside straight from the open disk image to the Dock, right? Or you opened it from inside the disk image.

    Either way is incorrect. You should have dragged the application from the disk image to your applications folder, copying it over. Ejected the disk image. And then added the app (the one you copied to applications folder) to the Dock.

    Have a look at this guide here:
