[QUOTE="drkidd22, post: 1625913, member: 339209"] Hello, I'm new mac guy and I have a pretty decent music library on an external drive. The problem I have is not only with music files, but with any file that has an apostrophe in it's name. The mac would not recognise the file at all, it's invisible. What I did was connect the external drive to a windows computer and deleted the character which had the apostrophe. Then I went back to the mac and the files appeared under mac OS. Not sure what's going on here, but I sure don't feel like deleting character for over 1000 file names. Any help will be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
