Hi again Anne.
Please forgive me if I'm not quite with you at this moment.
You say "If it doesn’t, press Cmd-comma to open Finder Preferences"
I'm listening to a tutorial to Voice over by mr Jon Pan, who starts off by
describing the mac keyboard layout and he is saying that from the bottom left,
of a macbook for example, the keys are as follows:
FN: function key; Control key, then followed by the Option key, then Command
key, just before the spacebar.
John does not talk about CMD.
Obviously, you are referring to the VO keys, but surely it should be
Control,Option and finally command!
Or does CMD refer to keys 2,3 and 4 on the bottom left?
If this is the case, then CMD plus comma is Control, option and command and
whilst these are depressed, press the comma key?
Sorry for appearing such an idiot, but I think I may have grasped the meaning
of your keystroke.
Am I correct and can I give it a go.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

Hello Andy,
First of all, when you plug in your thumb drive, it should show up on your
desktop. If it doesn’t, press Cmd-comma to open Finder Preferences. Interact
with the tool bar and select General. Stop interacting and navigate right to
Show these items on the desktop: then check the four checkboxes that you find
by navigating right.
Press Cmd-w to close the Preferences. Your thumb drive should now appear on
your desk top.
Cheers,
Anne

Hi all.
In brief, I'm a very determined and apparently reluctant learning of the
Apple operating system.
I've been using windows since Dos 3.1 and like many people, I am afraid of
this new system.
I Purchased a 27 Imac and a Macbook pro about 2 years ago and have hardly
moved in my learning.
Despite buying a great book, titled, Janet Ingber - Everything You Need to
Know to Use the Mac , I cannot get the motivation to "Use the mac"!
My fingers tremble at my Macbook and I'm so afraid of doing something
wrong, I'm paralysed.
So I'm thinking that I should try something really simple.
I'm addicted by the way to talking books, so lets look at that as a method
to break the ice.
I've placed the above book on a thumb drive but every time I plug it into
my Macbook, absolutely nothing happens, so I cannot access this media.
On a Windows computer I'm asked "What do you want your computer to do?".
So if anyone can tell me how to access a thumb drive and be able to go
through some of the easy chapters of this book then listen to them, it may be
enough to finally break my spirit and get me started, hahaha.
Sorry guys for the long message but I'm sure you have all heard it before.
Very best wishes.
Andy.
From Scotland with Love.
