Hello:
I am the daughter, who as my father has kindly explained, has the
problem with the mac and remaining space on the HD.
- First off I connected the
250GB Lacie Portable Disk Drive, which my mac recognized with little
effort.
- Then I selected, Clicked
& Dragged a sample 3GB Image Folder into the Lacie.
- Once I was able to see
that
that was working, I
took the test folder and dropped it into the trash, and deleted it. No
problem.
- I did the same to the main
52GB image folder, and 22 hours later the transfer was complete. Only
this time the HD image files were gone from the "HD Pictures" directory
before I could drop them into the Trash! And my usable space is still
embarrassingly minuscule. Yes, I am beyond the 80% recommended on the
HD, which is why I saved and purchased the Lacie...
- I am able to access the
files from the new drive.
- I have tried to find the
files on the HD, but cannot locate them, and still I am showing less
than 4 GB on the HD even after several reboots.
Any ideas?
Help would be gratefully appreciated, as I have at least 500M of images
to offload and need to be able to work them...
Thank you for all the input.
I remain,
the daughter,
ginette
