[QUOTE="PeauxRouge, post: 265085"] Hi there, I have a customer who had brought in a Mac Powerbook with Mac OS X (Not sure of the specific version). Basically, he was transfering photos to an Ext. HD and accidentally copied to the Desktop. Now the system is stuck in a cycle of the photos copying to the desktop, and they are all covering the HD icon. We can't click anything aside from the wireless/time and date icons at the top. We can not access the Finder at all. If you click on file, nothing happens. We are just getting the little rainbow swirly going around all the time. If you reboot, it starts the process all over again. If you Safe Boot, it does the same thing. I have tried to force close the finder, or relaunch it, and again, it starts the process over again. Any ways around this? Thanks for your time. [/QUOTE]
