Well – two in a day.
I am finding it more and more frustrating trying to figure out the Mac file hierarchy. (Or perhaps trying to make it behave like a PC)
This has got to be so simple, I am embarrassed to ask – but my brain is fried.
I saved a spreadsheet (Excel) onto one of those “flash USB memory sticks” on the PC. So I insert it into the Mac, click on the drive and
Obviously it’s there. Now I want to get it into a folder (under documents – called Excel files) If I open Finder sufficiently to see the subfolder –
Then I can’t see my Kingston drive. So how can I drag that spreadsheet out of the flash and drop it into my folder. I was so used to opening
Many tiny windows on the PC, it wasn’t a problem. Like I said, I just can’t wrap my arms around Finder – and the file structure.
I have transferred many files over the last many years – always PC – but this Mac is attempting to get me down.
Oh yeah – when I download a new application – files start appearing everywhere. I get those flat little box things stuck on the desktop.
Trash won’t take them. I tried hiding in HD, but then it becomes an alias.
