Hi again Alex That's why I out the message in a big hurry. I didn't want you to spend a lot of grief after the message Apple sent me.
Now let me offer a suggestion, although it's a pain, for dealing with this. I finally figured this out after I kept copying files and couldn't find them. I had to keep doing command z to undo what I had done since I knew that if I did it right, the new files would be right next to where VoiceOver said I was. I have found that i I go to my desktop, go to my hard disk and if necessary press command 2 to get list view. If you're lucky, you won't have everything expanded, but if not, you might want to press control option backslash so that everything collapses from the top. In my case, I go to Users by pressing down arrow. Then get next one. If you want your documents, uncollapse with the same command and try typing in the first letters of the word documents. Oh, yeah, I forgot to say to interact before you start this. I know you can go to Documents other ways, but I have found that with this problem, you are always where you think you are. Also, Finder busy may happen. I have found that if I start at the top then I end up in the right place to copy files. I have also found that in the long run, it saves me time because I don't copy stuff where I can't find it. I have also found that if you have a small number of folders so that Finder doesn't go into busy, that column view does let you copy your files into the right place. However, I don't know for sure until it's too late. Regards, Gigi On Nov 14, 2013, at 3:21 PM, Alex Hall <[email protected]> wrote: > The only other view that seems usable is List View.
