Fine, I am going to get into the manual. In the meanwhile - I really need some help with the Mac file structure.
It seemed I had a lot more options on the PC as to where to save “documents”. For example, under documents, I had folders for Word documents, Excel documents, etc. Under each of these folders, I had subfolders for Household Word, Letters Word, and on and on. Same with spreadsheets.
It seems to me Pages forces me to save everything under documents. I tried establishing subs, but that didn’t work. Seems the folders just when where they desired.
Anyway - as of this time - I have the list of the right under Finder. myname, documents and I forget the others. Applications is one of them.
I have TWO document icons in the dock - one with a blue folder looking thing covering it. Then I have icon with the name Documents 17-19-59. Then the trash can.
I downloaded IDrive. Double clicking - I received the message “ Can’t open because the file is in the Trash! But it wasn’t.
By the way, is there a way to restore trash to its original position?
But files, folders, - organization is my thing. Oh yeah I have duplicates of some files in folders - which seem to prefer to stay there.
Can someone just give be a brief outline of how Mac stores folders and files? I can get into it deeper later, but right now I am very afraid of losing files. I had probably 30 “folders” under WP Documents on the PC. That way I knew exactly where to look for a particular file.
Thanks in advance. One day someone will have to tell me how to “backspace” - or go backward just to correct one letter.
