Mike, I've never needed to start the dropbox app, but have access to the folder in my home directory. As I recall, my folder did not reflect the actual contents until I rebooted for the first time.
HTH.

I installed it and it launches. However, when I try to get into the file I can't access the directory. It says drop box when I am on my desktop but it says drop box has no active windows. When I get that message I can't get into applications or anything else unless I go to my dock and launch a program. Anyone have any ideas of what I am doing wrong? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James AUSTIN Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 4:56 PM To: Mac OSX & iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: Trouble setting up Dropbox Hi Geoff, Unfortunately, this did not work. Never mind, I'll try it again tomorrow.

I've had to create a new DB account, and have launched the app from Terminal as i did when setting up previously. Unfortunately, although I've authorised the dialogue which asks if DB should be able to accept incoming connections, I cannot find the setup window in the "Window Chooser". I am guessing that for some reason, it has not activated. I have also ensured that DB is no longer in my login items. > > Thank you for any assistance > TC :) > James > <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> > > To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] > > You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> > or at the public Mail Archive: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>. > Subscribe to the list's RSS feed from: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.xml> > > The Mac-Access mailing list is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free! > > Please remember to update your membership options periodically by visiting the list website at: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/> > <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> > > To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] > > You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> > or at the public Mail Archive: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>. > Subscribe to the list's RSS feed from: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.xml> > > The Mac-Access mailing list is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free! > > Please remember to update your membership options periodically by visiting the list website at: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/> <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
