What is a DMG file? can they be deleted from my mac pro?
I have the following two files, which take up to 124 GB of memory:
Macintosh HD Back Up.dmg
My_Passport_Apps_1_0_3_16.dmg
I backed up my hard drive to an external so I was wondering if they are needed?
Thank you!
DMG files are Disk Images - virtual disks within a file. When you double-click a computer Image disk virtual disk is mounted.
When your backups are completely up-to-date, that the backup of files (first you mentioned) will remove themselves automatically. When your backups not completed are piling up, it will be these files. However, these files are considered to be SUSTAINABLE, and if you need disk space for anything else, they are automatically deleted to free up space.
The second file is likely (based on its name) to be copy of utilities supplied by the manufacturer of the My Passport drive. Look at the issue and keep those you want and you are free to delete the rest. Most users find that useless for the utilities don't come with records like that, then you are probably not missing something.

How can I restore signal from my Mac Pro to my Viewsonic monitor, connected by VGA?
I have a Pro Mac OSX version 10.7.5 running. Trendy top is a monitor 24 inch Viewsonic, the only monitor connected. Last week, everything was fine. I stopped him all night and the next morning, when I tried to start, there was no signal from the Mac to the screen.
The screen displays a 'No Signal' message.
I checked the entry on the monitor, and it is correctly set to PC.
The computer starts normally. I can hear him do his thing.
The monitor starts up normally. No flashing or spots.
I tried restart, disconnect the monitor from the computer, just stop and unplug it, then reconnected. I tried to plug the old monitor (using VGA connection) and start again, with the same result.
I tried to recall the NVRAM (found the instructions on this site) and it made no difference.
It would be appropriate to get a HDMI cable to connect the?
It seems to me that if the computer does not recognize the monitor, try another cable wouldn't make any difference, but I'm really an 'end user' at this stage and would appreciate any advice.
Thank you!

Is it safe to remove files from my macbook air now that I have set up my time capsule and backed up with time machine? My boot drive is full. How can I access files of my time capsule once they are deleted from my computer?
1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.
2. they will not be usable until the restoration.

Am trying to re - install Acrobat 9 Pro (includes the Distiller) after installing a new hard drive. iMac 27 "2009, ElCapitan 11.11.6. I have the original dmg file. have also tried copying from back up. Same thing is happening anyway. It seems to load correctly. When open it asks my password but not to its own serial number. It is open, but don't watch not at the full bar at the top, that the word Acrobat, and it does nothing? Worked very well before the old drive crashing. On the same operating system?
Not compatible does not mean that it cannot work (even if sometimes this does not mean that). This means that it has never been tested and not be fixed; This often means people have seen strange and unpredictable issues.
Acrobat makes changes to the system, it is always more vulnerable. DC Acribat is the current version. If the goal is to slow down completely, perhaps more profitable subscription activity.

Adobe community, I have 2 quick questions on Adobe Creative Cloud membership. I am considering the Adobe Creative Cloud 'Plan of the student' for 2 children currently in high school. (1) is the license for 1 or can it covers 2 users? (2) can they access it from PC or MacBook this year? Thanks for your help.
each single-user license, it's just that, for a single user and can not (legally) be shared between two different users.
programs of CC can be installed on pc or mac. each user can install on an unlimited number of computers, but can only connect to, at most, two computers at a time. These 2 computers can be 2 pcs, 2 macs, or one of each.

Is there a way to restore a SINGLE FILE in a folder deleted from the Recycle Bin?
Suppose that you remove all the contents of a folder that contains the files and subfolders. If you open the Recycle Bin, you can see a list of deleted files and subfolders, but there is no way to see the files in the subfolders. So, if you want to restore ONLY a single file in a subfolder of the deleted, it seems there is no way to do it. You can only restore the entire sub.folder, which is not necessarily what you want, especially if you filled out the application parent with other files and subfolders after the deletion.
Is there a way to restore a SINGLE FILE in a folder deleted from the Recycle Bin?
Another method would be to drag the folder to the Recycle Bin on your desktop. Open it and recover the files required - re - delete the folder.
@ Palcouk... you can actually retrieve files deleted, even when they are home to recycle the locker to restore a previous version of the folder parent; These come available restore points so not always guaranteed, but he made the most of the time if action is taken quickly enough. :) Ric

Permenantly deleting files that I already deleted from trash
I know that when I type 'empty trash' that this clears my folder to recycle bin...
I also know that this does NOT really elements of my computer but just their mask from me in some secret invisible spot too much room...
My question is how to access the folder 'invisible secret' so I can remove the items never to be picked up and give back me my hard disk space.
If the folder "invisible secret" is not accessible, what program should I use to remove the contents of the folder 'invisible secret' please please please?
Hello
You already have the hard drive space back once they are deleted from the Recycle Bin.
There is a table that points to the files are on the hard drive.
The path that is being removed, so no 'invisible secret file' is done; but the files still exist on the hard disk until this just crushed
No matter what you can never completely do you remove files from a disk hard unless physically melt you with a blowtorch.
This program stops at most of the methods of recovering your data.
This program is not about any "secret invisible folder." It replaces the free space on your hard disk in a variety of styles
See you soon.
