Masoud,
Please add your version of archicad and OS to your profile.

Create a folder for your non-graphisoft libraries and library parts outside of your archicad installation. Put your downloaded library part in here.

Open your project. Open your Library Manager by going to
File> Libraries and objects> Library manager.

On the left side select the Local/LAN tab find your new library folder. Select that folder and click on the ADD button. This will load that folder and everything in it. After you've worked in the project and done a save, this library folder will then load automatically with the project in the future.

Also, the general best practice recommendation is to have three libraries. These are:

1 The unaltered graphisoft library

2 An office library for objects you have created or altered and expect to use again on many projects

3 A project library for object specific to a single project only.

Did you read the manual?

There may be other causes for not being able to find the lib part.
If the part is a window, or a door, it will not show up
in the object tool directory.
If the library part has been saved in a later AC version than the
one being used the part will not appear in any AC directory.
To test this, in the hard drive directory, double click on the file's
icon, this will launch AC and if the file has been saved in a later version
you will get an error message saying "Unknown version number".

…and since the question is extremely generic now we have to guess to a possible solution to an imagined problem.

"hello I did something wrong in AC and it doesn't do what I want can anyone tell me what is wrong??"

Is Masoud sure that;

1. He downloaded the file
2. He knows were he downloaded it to.
3. Unziped the file
4. Or opened the DMG
5. Does he has Admin rights for his computer
6. Has he told AC were the file is located after unzipping or is he waiting for AC and us to guess were is the file?
7. Is he using a AC11 object in AC6.5
8. As Peter wrote, is it a door, a window, a label?
9. Is it a GSM file and not a 3DS, or DWG, or JPEG
10. What instructions were followed???????

Therefore Read the Manual I even searched the page numbers so you don't have to…

I'm with Eduardo, Erika.

Masoud - you have been given quite complete instructions - and I deleted your duplicated posts/thread. If you cannot follow the instructions, find someone locally to sit down with you. Continued begging here is not appreciated by any of us.

Guys,

How well do you speak Farsi?

Did it occur to you that Massoud might not be able to ask his question or understand your answers clearly?

Great empathy, Erika ...

How was I supposed to know?
Where was this written?

I'll limit myself to answering questions in Spanish and sometimes in English

Another one to the list;

11. Make sure that the person asking the question understand the language in which you wrote the answer.

Edourdo (and Karl),
I see all your now. Yes, I missed the original one.

Catching up on posts, I was reacting to a number of posts by various people which seemed, in my opinion, to be un-necessarily harsh.

Like Djordje, I saw where he is from, and no, I haven't noticed a lot of posts from other users in Iran, and couldn't help wondering where locally Masoud could get some help as well as language tranlation problems.

Eduardo, please don't limit your responses. Your posts are a boon to all.
