Here is one thing to look for. Go into system preferences/speech and make sure speech recognition is turned off. When I installed leopard, the default was speech recognition on with the trigger key of the escape key. I noticed some problems like that.

OK, here's what is happening. I'm sure it's operator error, but I'm still ready to throw the hd or the mac out the window--and both are too expensiveto do so. <smile>I have an hd full of music that I'd like to put on my mac. Here's what I do.1. Plug in the drive and find it in the finder.2. attempt to view the folders, although I can't seem to find a way to keep focus on the folder name. It keeps jumping to various files and selecting them. I've tried list, column, and icon view. And if it's a document, it shows me the contents, which is nice, but I don't want to see them just now. 3. Finally, by some luck, I focus on the folder list long enough to hit theitem chooser and select the folder I want.4. I hit command O, and then select all the contents. I try copying these with command c, and though vo says "copied 410 items," I'm not actually sure if they've been copied to the clipboard or to the external hd, because whenI try to pase them into itunes I get nothing.5. So I open itunes and try something else. I select "add to library" or "import files." With both options, a dialogue appears that I can't read, so I guess what it might be asking me, but I haven't chosen the correct answers yet. <smile> I can tell that I need to choose the folder, but when I click on my computer, I can't seem to get in there to select the external hd.Aside from itunes, I'd love to be able to copy files on to my mac for other purposes, and I'm sure it isn't as challenging as I seem to be making it. <smile> My pc brain just can't seem to figure out this one. Any help wouldbe killer. Muchas gracias! Ginny On Nov 20, 2007, at 4:44 PM, V. L. Owens wrote:Sure. Will be happy to. I plan to spend several hours with it tonight, so I'll begin after that.

Hi Genni,Could you begin to put the things you have learned down and maybe makea guide of sorts so that some of us can get started. Maybe make your guide something like, Grauge band guide 001. And then as we learn something new, we can add to the guide and change the number to show that it has been updated. Thanks. Keith Reedy On Nov 20, 2007, at 10:22 AM, V. L.

I've spent some time at the Apple store with the eyes of the techs, and that has definitely helped. -----Original Message----- From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Keith Reedy Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 9:20 AM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Garage Band?
