Hi there.
No, your friend has to *download* the file first.
She can do that by going to the link and hitting
control-option-l and then hitting on the download link file. Her
downloads window should pop open and the file will start
downloading. She will be able to tell when it is done by watching
the progress bar, or she can go to her desktop and watch the file
from there. When the .download extension is droppped off the file,
it is done.
*Then* your friend hits command-c to copy the file and then command-v
to paste the file into her untitled Cd folder.
HTH,
Jane

Hi,
just to be clear. if she is at a site like say
download.com and has found something she wants to download, she
need only hit command-c on the file name , go the the untitled disc
and paste it there?
beats downloading it to her hard drive first, which seems to be the
problem factor.
Thanks,
Karen

All she needs to do is hit command-c onm the selected file, then
go to the CD which is probably labeled Untitled, open that folder
and paste it there. Then burn it. I've done that several times.
I don't know what's missing, or if files for other platforms don't
work.

Hi folks,
its one of those os-x ones, not necessarily a vo one. My
assistant uses safari on her laptop, and occasionally I have
asked her to download a file and bring it to me on a cd, say for
another platform.
while she has no trouble downloading the file or program, she
seems to be unable to drag the file or program to the blank cd in
her machine. We have had this with both mac and windows
programs, with compressed archives as well.
She does not have this problem when she is say getting things
from a ftp location.
Is there an extra step we may be missing, or is os x sensitive to
programs that are not meant to be used in the system?
Thanks,
Karen
