[QUOTE="K515, post: 1062646, member: 109951"] Hello guys - I'm back. I'm trying to copy a folder and all of its contents from a DVD+RW where I have it backed up on, onto my mac's desktop. I'm using Leopard, I love my Leopard, so please don't try to talk me into upgrading my OS - well here's the problem: When I click on the folder on the disc, I R-click (forgive me for saying/doing this, but I'm a mac/PC user and intend to stay this way), choose "copy" > I move my mouse pointer from the little window that's showing the contents of my DVD+RW, over to my OS X desktop, and R-click, choose "paste". It starts copying, but after a few seconds I get this message - [IMG]http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd225/KellySt10/My%20latest%20Game%20problems/cantcopyitems.png[/IMG] How can I get my mac to copy all the contents plus the parent folder that I want to want to copy from the DVD into my mac's desktop? PS I'm still learning how to use a mac, having/still am a windows user for years now, so please be patient with me. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
