 * Check the forum and there seems to be a number of us having problems saving a
   new theme download to WP-content based on WP instructions.
 * If you found a successful way of doing this on a Mac (0x 10.5) I would GREATLY
   appreciate your input and instructions as to how you succeeded.
 * Thanks!

 * I’ve been a Mac user for over 20 years and never had a problem installing any
   themes on any of my WordPress blog.
 * Which method are you using? Are you installing directly from the Install Themes
   tab? Are you uploading the theme from the Install Themes tab, or are you manually
   uploading the theme via FTP or SFTP?

 * Installing directly from the install themes tab. Choose the theme then go to 
   my downloads. There of course it is found whether as a folder or a Zip. From 
   there I have not been able to find a way to add it to wp-content as per the instructions.
 * Appreciate your reply and willingness to help!

 * You’ll need the .zip file. Where that is depends on what browser you’re using
   and how it’s configured. If you’re using Safari, the theme will automatically
   unzip in the Downloads folder and the .zip file will be moved to the Trash. Rescue
   the .zip, then go to the Install Themes tab in your admin panel and click the“
   Upload” link. All you need to do after this is select the .zip file and complete
   the installation.
