OK, a few things to sum up from all your replies. 1) I can drag files from the web page or the desktop to the Flash Drive (the 'Brute Force' method).
2) If I can do #1 the drives are not Write Protected 3) The one Flash Drive is a Kingston, the other is one I found and it is called Secure_II A) Both have space left B) I have another Kingston that is new in the package and another Flash Drive I got from Centrum (its pretty full so I haven't tried it on this machine) 4) So, a Flash Drive won't show up when you click "Save image as" on a website? For the record I am using Firefox but have also tried it with Safari and iCab (I still have Opera to try but if its like this with 3 other browsers I doubt Opera would be any different) 5) Also, WHY would Apple make this the default setting? Don't they know people use things other than their HD to save stuff? Thanks for all your replies thus far! :) On Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 11:12 AM, Charles Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Jan 14, 2009, at 7:30 AM, Amanda Ward wrote: > >> >> Hi Steve... >> >> On Jan 13, 2009, at 11:15 PM, Stephen Conrad wrote: >> >>> >>> Mac OS X (10.2.9) >>> >>> Recently I tried to save a photo from a website to a Flash Drive and >>> it won't let me >>> I can see the Flash Drives on my Desktop but when I click "Save Image >>> As" it only show this for options for where to put it: Home, >>> Documents, iDisk and Desktop >>> >>> Any suggestions? >>> >>> -- >>> Steve Conrad >>> Henrietta, MO 64036 >> >> Probably a dumb question, but... is the flash drive locked to read >> only?
