Godfrey and PJ - Between the two of you, I'm sure Dave has it all figured out by now.
Dave - I don't know Mac from Nikon, but Google is my friend. Found this. Perhaps it will help. 1) Open System Preferences and choose the ".Mac" preference pane 2) Choose "iDisk" and press "Stop" near the bottom where it says, "iDisk Sync: On" You'll end up with an image file on your desktop which contains the local copy of your iDisk 3) Rename this file (I don't know if this is necessary--I did it as a precaution) 4) Go back to System Preferences and turn iDisk Sync back on, choosing "Manually" for the update method 5) Right-click on the iDisk icon on your desktop and choose "Sync Now" 6) After the sync, turn automatic sync back on 7) If all goes well, you can delete the image file created in step 2 Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > Cut the bs. > > Launching off into some idiotic tirade based on prejudice, > superstition and myth is all you're doing. > > Godfrey - www.gdgphoto.com > > On Jul 16, 2008, at 6:36 AM, "P.
