James, yes, you can create an alias on your desktop which points to your ITunes folder if you like. Some people don't prefer the ITunes interface as much as others, so this gives them a way to access their music in finder as you suggest. Enjoy your day and thank you for your email!…

Hi Scott Very true, this is why all of my stationary USB hubs are always self- powered by their own AC adapter. There's only so much power a USB port can provide. One very nice feature of OS X is that it will let you know when this occurs. When a USB device cannot draw the required amount of

Hi No. If your device supports charging via USB, it will immediately begin to charge when plugged into any powered USB port. It doesn't matter what the os on the host is, all the device needs is for the connection to be established so it can draw the power it needs. On Mar 15, 2009, at 11:
