[QUOTE="jjk454ss, post: 590864, member: 40563"] I tried to copy a bunch of pics from an external HD to my Mac, and the Finder window is just stuck saying "Preparing copy to Pictures." I can't end it by hitting the little "x" and I can't even shut downs the computer because it tells me something like Finder windows it open or something like that. I don't want to mess up the pics on the external hard drive either, so what is the correct way to stop this and maybe try again? Should I just switch off the exernal hard drive? Just inplug it from the USB? Like I said, I would hate to lose any pictures or anything. [/QUOTE]
