[QUOTE="DianeVan, post: 1787197, member: 318944"] I'm an old gal who switched to Mac and had to learn a lot too. Don't be stuck in "this is how I used to do it". Mac has it's own way. And it's always a nice integrated easy way once you get used to it. You are having 3 unrelated issues I see here. Just learn one at a time and practice and get used to it. Make paper notes to remind yourself if you have to until it's second nature. Safari can easily put your bookmarks into "folders". When in Safari, just go to "Bookmarks" at the top of the screen and choose Add a folder. Type the name you want the folder to be called. Then save a bookmark into the folder. Just do a test one. Perhaps a "kid Youtube favourites" for a test. Your idea of not copying your music but ripping it again sounds kind of wasteful of time and energy. If your old PC is still operational, just copy all your music onto something like a USB stick or drive. Then go to your Mac and "open" the music in iTunes. That's all it takes and you are set. After you copy it all into iTunes you can do any bits of set and re-organization you might want, but it's not necessary. I don't know how much music you have, but the thought of ripping all my CD's again would send me into despair. Just try to copy 1 album, or even 1 song to see how easy it is. I'd talk about photos too, but perhaps another time. It's very very easy too. Macs are designed to be easy to use. It makes me sad to read you are so muddled. Perhaps you could take an orientation course at an Apple Store. They are free here if you buy a new Mac. [/QUOTE]
