Booksense and Mac Question
Hi All, I'm new to Mac, and newer to the list. But I have a question. I'd like to put Bookshare books on my Booksense using my Mac. I connect my Booksense but cannot figure out where to locate it. I've gone into finder and tried looking for it in the devices list, but it doesn't seem to be there. Also, I downloaded the Unarchiver to unzip the books, but it seems to always be busy...a problem I rarely have with any other programs. Is anyone experience these issues and are there any cures for them? I love my Mac and I love to read but I am so frustrated and confused right now and those that I have spoken with don't seem to have much help for me. So I'm a little desperate, LOL. Thank you so, so much for your help; it is so appreciated. All the best, Caitlin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Booksense and Mac Question
Hi, Your Book Sense won't be called Book Sense, so it may not be immediately obvious that it's your Book Sense. Whatever your SD card is called is what you want to look for; you *are* looking in the right place, though. As for the Unarchiver, I've never seen this problem with it, sorry. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY On Feb 7, 2011, at 5:47 PM, Caitlin Lynch wrote: Hi All, I'm new to Mac, and newer to the list.

Re: Booksense and Mac Question
I've always used my card reader for this, and the card shows up in the finder as an untitled volume. I also use the unarchiver to unzip the files, and have had no problems with it. I use VO/shift/M, open with, and then unarchiver to unzip. Don't know why you're getting the busy thing. I get a dialog asking me for my password.

Re: Booksense and Mac Question
It's on the Desktop. It will show up as Booksense. If you have an SD card that will show up as a separate volume.

Re: Booksense and Mac Question
Thanks all, I'll try these things. It's weird to me, because I tried VO Shift and M and open to boot up unarchiver, but no luck. I'll give it another shot.

Re: Booksense and Mac Question
Your books should be automatically unzipped if you download them on your mac. This only works if you've selected to open safe files though. A lot of people use iTunes and therefore do not have that option hcecked in Safari. I use Cog, which does not play songs automatically. So I checked that box.
