Hi Esther, I finally copied the file, by just opening up Macintosh HD and finding the folder and manually copying it. So, now it's on my desktop. But, When I do Command-O in Itunes, it won't let me go to my desktop to select a file. I can go to Contacts, users, my account folder, and documents, but not the desktop. I tried moving the file to documents but I'm still not able to view documents from the doc, so have no way to open that folder. Any thoughts on how I can tell Itunes to look for the file on my desktop?
Thank you!
