Oh, and how could I possibly have forgotten to answer your main
question! Get the newest VLC Media Player for Mac OS, a fine and
accessible replacement for iTunes.

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.
