[QUOTE="Opnu_Jopni, post: 1498109, member: 262078"] [b]problem solved[/b] Thank you, mrplow, for suggesting the "AppleOff" app, even though it appears that it is no longer available at the download site or anywhere else for that matter. However, in the process of researching AppleOff, I ran across a product review ( [url=http://rixstep.com/4/2/ao12,00.shtml]AppleOff 1.2 | The Very Ugly[/url] ) that explains the Unix commands which can be entered in Terminal to accomplish the same thing. Below I offer an example of how I implemented this (some of my naming conventions have been altered to avoid confusion). Basically I just drilled down to the folder containing the photos and used a "sudo find" command which searches for the unwanted files (the ones prefixed by "._") and invokes an "rm" command to remove each file matching the condition of the find. I also did the same thing to eliminate the ".DS_Store" file, though that was not really part of my original problem. With the "._*" files out of the way, my navigation though photos with Media Player on my Blu-ray and HDTV is greatly simplified. Last login: Sun Feb 24 16:22:33 on ttyp1 Welcome to Darwin!
