Re: Help with Finder
HI. I am in list view and had no problem moving a file. Here is how I do it. 1 locate the file you want to move. 2. press command c 3. navigate to the folder you want to paste the item in to 4. open the folder and press command option v. I have found that opening the folder is more accurate than just being on top of it. I hope this helps.

Re: Help with Finder
Hi there Thanks guys. It never occurred to me to open the folder because in Mountain lion you didn't open the folder. I will try that next time. The other thing I have done is to set up some aliases on my desktop so I can get to the folders a little faster. I did manage to paste in the aliases to the desktop although it took me a while to figure out that I could just paste once I was on the thing instead of going in to my hard disk. I should've figured that one out myself first. Maybe I'm judging a little too soon yet, but I liked Collin view under Mountain lion better than I'm liking this at this moment. So I will just keep plugging away and get it figured out. Thanks again. Regards, Gigi Sent from my iPhone On Nov 3, 2013, at 1:46 AM, Maria and Joe Chapman bubbygirl1...@gmail.com wrote: HI.

Re: Help with Finder
Hey Eugenia, Great post, as I have been using the mac for three years now, and at first had the same issues with finder that you had, as it takes some getting used to. Funny as I never have used column mode, and after reading your great explanation of it changed a finder window to it and loved it, so much quicker to navigate than list view. Thanks for the great post. On Jul 18, 2013, at 7:13 PM, Eugenia Firth gigifi...@me.com wrote: when I first got my Mac, Finder was probably the hardest thing for me. This is because I was not used to the List View mode looks on the Mac compared to Windows. I had never used Column mode in Windows, and now I love it. When I was using Windows, I pressed the enter key if I wanted to access a folder. Doing that on the Mac will cause you to enter renaming mode for renaming your files and folders. I love that now, but I kept wanting to press that enter key to get into my folders. On the Mac, if you use list view mode, the folder name is at the top of your list and you press down arrow below that for the file names. If you choose column mode, which I now prefer, you don't encounter your file names unless you press the right arrow key after you hear the file folder that the file is in. Column mode for me makes it faster to get through things because I don't need to hear all those file names until I want them. Then there's another thing that I had to get used to. If you want to paste a file into a folder, you don't go into the folder. You get on top of it and paste or move it into the folder. The commands for doing these functions are easy, and you will recognize them if you ever had a Windows computer. Copy is command c; paste is command v; move is a little different with option command v. There is a command x for cut and paste but I find moving with option command v to work more consistently. I hope this discussion helps. Oh, another command you might want to remember in case you something horrible you didn't want to (like I did), is command z as in zap to undo something you did.

Re: Help with Finder
Kirsten, I don't know of any specific help for finder, but how about the MAC's help system? That should have something. In the meantime, I'll try to give you a thumbnail sketch of its use. There are four views, or ways of interacting with finder. command+1, Icon view, which I ignore. command+2, List view which is good and has its own uses. command+3, column view, my favorite and I think the most useful. command+4, cover flow view, again, I totally ignore this view. When you command tab to the finder and land on on the desktop, you have to first open a basic finder window with Command+N. in the finder window: the sidebar is a listing of various devices and folders on your system, and you can select those devices or folders in the sidebar table. Although, I tend to ignore the sidebar, and just drill down and up through the file structure in the files and folders list. The Go menu also has alot of shortcuts to get you into certain main folders on your system. Once in a device or folder, and depending on your selected view, there is a files and folders list at the far right which will let you browse and access sub folders and files under that main folder. By the way, The title bar just to the left of the toolbar always tells you what folder you are currently in. In list view,the files and folders list is a table that you interact with and VO down and up arrow through the contained files and folders. to expand and collapse subfolders in list view, you need to press VO \ (above the return key). To set the current folder (according to the title bar) to the current folder in list view, you have to open the folder with command down arrow. And, to move back up one level to the parent folder, you use command up arrow. Any pasting you do in Finder is done according to what the current folder is (as stated in the title bar), and with list view, you have to be careful to set the current folder with command up and down arrow keys. Column view is different in that just arrowing to the folder in the browser sets it as the current folder, and if you then do a paste command, the files get pasted into that folder. List view's main advantage is that you can get meta data about the file or folder by VO right arrowing across the table and hearing the date modified, size, etc, which you don't get in column view. Column view (command + 2) I think is easiest to use in column view, the table at the far right is called simply browser, and you interact with it to get at the subfolders and files of the currently selected folder or device (check the title bar when in doubt). Once in column view, just arrow up and down (no VO keys needed) through the list of enclosed files and folders, and to expand and collapse sub folders, just right and left arrow. Hope this gets you started. - Original Message - From: Kirsten hill keesa.h...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 9:35 AM Subject: Help with Finder Hello: Is there a resource available that I can use to understand the file structure and navigating within finder using voice over?

Re: Help with Finder
Hello, Kiersten. Navigating within finder is as easy as understanding the directory tree structure of files on the hard drive. The first thing you should know is that, if you would rather, you can have finder display The part of the directory tree you are currently browsing at a set of columns, rather than as a grade or a Cover Flow view. If it would help you to see your directory tree in this way, press command three. Find or will switch to a column view. In this mode, Simply pressing the up or down arrow will take you along the tree branch that you are currently browsing. Similarly, pressing the right arrow will take you one folder or file away from the root of the directory tree, pressing the left arrow will take you back toward the trunk. Let me know if I can be of more assistance. I personally work for a very good online tutorial agency that may be able to help with training. Be well.

Re: Help with Finder
Hi, I don't believe that you can bypass the Trash. Pressing cmd-delete on a selected item will move it to the Trash. cmd-option-delete will usually move locked items to the Trash. cmd-shift-delete empties the Trash and cmd-option-shift-delete will empty the Trash without asking you if you are sure you want to do this.

Re: Help with Finder
Angus: First, I believe the command that you want for keyboard help is voiceover Kate, E. G. Control option Kay.This will give you the keyboard help that you desire. I order to move items to the trash, use command backspace. Simply backspace won't do it. When you need to retrieve something from the trash, In most cases, the easiest way to do this is from the dock. Let me know if you need more help with the dock. Hope this helps. Be well.

when I first got my Mac, Finder was probably the hardest thing for me. This is because I was not used to the List View mode looks on the Mac compared to Windows. I had never used Column mode in Windows, and now I love it. When I was using Windows, I pressed the enter key if I wanted to access a folder. Doing that on the Mac will cause you to enter renaming mode for renaming your files and folders. I love that now, but I kept wanting to press that enter key to get into my folders. On the Mac, if you use list view mode, the folder name is at the top of your list and you press down arrow below that for the file names. If you choose column mode, which I now prefer, you don't encounter your file names unless you press the right arrow key after you hear the file folder that the file is in. Column mode for me makes it faster to get through things because I don't need to hear all those file names until I want them. Then there's another thing that I had to get used to. If you want to paste a file into a folder, you don't go into the folder. You get on top of it and paste or move it into the folder. The commands for doing these functions are easy, and you will recognize them if you ever had a Windows computer. Copy is command c; paste is command v; move is a little different with option command v. There is a command x for cut and paste but I find moving with option command v to work more consistently. I hope this discussion helps. Oh, another command you might want to remember in case you something horrible you didn't want to (like I did), is command z as in zap to undo something you did.

Re: Help with Finder
Hello Eugenia: Thanks so much for your help! My early experience with the finder has been so similar to yours. ☺ Thanks also, to those that took the time to pass along the very helpful hints. I feel much more comfortable in finder now than I did this morning. I'm loving the column view and now with a clearer understanding of the layout I can work at the navigation commands. Take care, Kirsten Sent from my iPhone On 2013-07-18, at 7:13 PM, Eugenia Firth gigifi...@me.com wrote: when I first got my Mac, Finder was probably the hardest thing for me.

Re: Help with Finder
thanks for this very interesting discussion, I'll save it and use it to explore learn the finder on my mac. I'm still a newbie, and learning. Ironically I seem to use my mac a lot for filling out web forms! Such as those that doctors offices seem to have on their websites now. Even though my iPad has a bluetooth keyboard that I use quite a bit! LOL. I really need to start working with my podcasts again to get really comfortable with my MBA.
