MiachelAngelo, Unless you have one of several Mac file-moving tools, you'll want to do what's called a "manual install" of your figure. If your decompressed folder has multiple folders inside of it, you'll want to move the contents of these folders into your Poser Runtime folder, in the same relative places. So, go to your Applications folder, to Poser 5, and open the Runtime folder. If there's a Geometries folder included with the files & folders you got with your figure, try opening that folder and dragging the contents into Poser's Geometries folder. If you get a popup message saying "An older item named '[whatever]' already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the newer one you are moving," choose "Stop." DO NOT CHOOSE "REPLACE." Then, open whatever folder it was (both in your decompressed stuff and in the Poser Runtime) and drag the contents from your decompressed folder into the folder in Poser's Runtime. Repeat this process with any other folders or files you got with your download. Generally, things in the Geometries folder and in the textures folder need to be in the exact same places that the content creator put them. Other stuff is more flexible, but they do need to go somewhere in the folder intended for those kinds of items. Cr2's and crz's go under "Character" (which is under "library"), pp2's and ppz's go under "Props" (which is also under "library"), etc.
