- Mac could not transfer these Resource forks over the mixed networks. Hence, the usage of Resource fork dwindled and this was the reason that Apple created disk image formats(DMG). The Resource forks are very important as they contain Meta data regarding the file.
Since DMG is a native Mac OS disk image format opening DMG file is as easy as double clicking on it in Finder. When you open DMG file this way, disk image stored inside DMG file will be mounted, and then opened in a separate Finder window. If DMG contains installation of an application, then installation window of the app will open. If not, then you will see the disk image content. Download mac address changer. Even in case when disk image contains installation of the application you can still view contents of the mounted DMG file by clicking on its name in Finder Locations section or by selecting Go->Go to Folder… in Finder menu, typing /Volumes/ and clicking Go button.
