Hi Jeff, I stand corrected. Sorry. I should have checked more carefully before posting that. My 2011 15" MBP only has the USB 2 ports, so I assumed the 2012 did too. That's what I get for making assumptions. My setup is similar to yours except I created a Fusion array with the 7200 RPM

Hi, If things haven't changed since my last check, even when you have it set to not copy to your iTunes Library, it will actually attempt the copy when importing from an external drive. If that drive happens to be a USB drive, then it will probably be quite slow on that machine as I believe

When you are in application folder, the way to open an application is to either press command+down arrow, or command+o. When you want to open an application from the dock, then you press enter. Hope this helps. Andrew > On 17 Jan 2017, at 06:15, masood B wrote: > > hi.
