How to Collect Samples To Share With Intego Support

There may be a situation where Intego's Support Team has requested that you share sample files with us for further investigation. We utilize a sparse bundle tool to obtain these samples. Please note, the original disk image file will be shared directly with you by a member of Intego's Support Team, it is not available for download on our website.


Step 1: Download the Disk Image File

Once Intego Support has requested you collect samples, you will receive a download link via email. Please click on the link, it will initiate an automatic download within your web browser.

Step 3: Move the Archived File to the Trash

Once the downloaded file has been unzipped, there will be 2 files present. One will be an archive file, and the other will be the new .sparseimage file created after unzipping the original file. Please move the archive file to the Trash.

Step 8: Compress the File on the Desktop

After the Sample2 icon has been removed from the Desktop, you will want to compress the file that contains the samples, so that it is small enough to be sent back to Intego Support. Right click on the .sparseimage file and select the Compress option.
