[QUOTE="TDRock, post: 230953, member: 13662"] Thanks for the reply. :) Multiple times in multiple ways. And yes, a Firewire cable is connected between the two machines. OK, that's what I don't understand. I went to a site that describes the process and it says which would make sense to me because there would be an icon of one computer showing up on the desktop of another computer and then I could transfer the files or whatever. BUT [b][u]nothing like that is happening[/u][/b]. ALL I get is a bouncing firewire icon on a blank blue screen. How do I transfer files like that? I click on the screen and absolutely nothing happens. It's like it's frozen on this firewire icon screen and the only thing I can do it press the Power button to get out of it, but *I* can't figure out a way to transfer my files like that. So any further clarification would be greatly appreciated. - Tania [/QUOTE]
