Vlc Media Player Wont Mount Disk On Osx

Hello, I have been using my VLC media player to play video recordings for a project I am working on. Everything has worked great, but suddenly, while listening and watching a video file, the sound stopped playing.

I've been using VLC for ages on PCs; but recently set-up a Mac Mini to use as a HTPC. It's been a while since I used Mac; but most of it is familiar.

However, when I installed VLC 2.2.1 on a 2010 Mac Mini 2.66 with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (which seems to work by the way, unlike one thread that said it won't work unless you're using a 64-bit Mac), every time I use VLC, the.dmg disk image icon shows up on the desktop. I had already searched around for help elsewhere and it says the same thing I found on an older thread here: drag the application to the applications folder first, then to the dock, and then trash the.dmg icon. It won't work. Do I need to de-install and reinstall it? Also, on a side-note, I played a few videos and the volume seemed very low, although they seem fine on my laptop.

Is this a Mac OS quirk or something? Edit: By the way, I had the same issue when installing Firefox; but somehow I got the.dmg icon to go away eventually. In both cases, I dragged the app icon to Applications and then to the dock.

Not sure what happened. Drag the application to the applications folder first, then to the dock You need to drag the VLC icon to the application folder, this is correct. But when, just eject the VLC disk image and delete it.

Then wait for the command to finish. Install bonjour for mac pro. When you type the password, it won't be displayed on screen, but the system would accept it. So just type your password and press ENTER/RETURN key. • Run in Terminal app: ruby -e '$(curl -fsSL /dev/null; brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask 2> /dev/null and press enter/return key. If the screen prompts you to enter a password, please enter your Mac's user password to continue.

You probably dragged the same VLC icon from the disk image to the Dock, of course then OSX needs to open the disk image again and again. If you want to keep the VLC icon in dock, just first eject the image, then start VLC e.g.

With Spotlight. Then you can right click on the VLC icon in Dock, and select something like 'keep in dock'. Remove the VLC icon from your dock either by dragging it off the dock or right-click the VLC icon on the dock and select Remove from Dock. Go to your Applications folder and find the VLC icon.

If the VLC icon has an Arrow on it, that's an indicator that it's an alias or Shortcut in Windows terms. If there is an arrow, drag that VLC icon to the trash. Mount the VLC dmg file if it isn't already.

DMG files are virtual disk images that when mounted and like a drive. Drag the VLC icon from the disk image to your Applications folder. Find the Mounted VLC icon on your desktop or in finder sidebar and eject it. Find the VLC icon you just dragged in the Applications folder and drag that icon to the dock. You should be good at this point. Sorry, but I'm sort of way beyond that.

For a few days I couldn't trash the icon, app, or dmg file. It kept saying the app was running when it wasn't I finally managed to do that and then reinstalled VLC. Bluestacks emulator for pc download.

I thought I had it done; but instead of the cone icon, I had what looked like a white circle with a line through it over some papers as the VLC icon. I dragged that to the dock, which seemed to work; but when I clicked it to open, it said the file was incomplete, etc. I've never seen an install procedure so f'ed up like this. Firefox installed fine.

Why doesn't it just install the bloody thing in applications and then let you drag it out? I've trashed everything again and need to know what to try next. Edit: By the way, I did step three (a few times) but it wouldn't drag the icon to the dock the last couple of times (that's what I did the first time and it seemed to work; but even with ejecting the dmg, I couldn't get the dmg file to go away, which started this whole mess).
