    Unable to drag Mac apps from disk image installer to application folder

    Bought all products, was able to open converter. For CD ripper and perfect tunes, I see the directions to drag the icons to the applications folder, but I cannot. Strangely, I can open the apps by opening from the expanded DMG disk image. How do I get these applications into my applications folder? Running latest versions and latest Tahoe.

    Run the install, and drag the two icons to the icon on the right, in the install Window, it will then appear in Applications.

      Copying and pasting the programs to your Applications folder works too.

        I figured it out. I don't run normal users in administrator mode; and thus the install is rejected. Typically, there is a prompt with most software to enter credentials if user is not admin. I assigned the user as admin and was able to drop them in.
