Hi there! Well I can copy tracks from my hd to a card in my phone! What I found is I open the card and open the place I want to put the music! Then I open a new finder window and open the hd go to the tracks I want and copy as normal! Then change the window with command+` on my keyboard is next to z on the left! Vo tells me when I'm on the card window and then just paste as normal command+v and like Carolyn said it will tell you what your copying ! hth Colin On 8 Jun 2011, at 18:52, Christine Grassman wrote:
