...and your tone

 

[Rich Dickins]

oh thanks for the tonal adjustment, just what i asked for. wish i could've been bourne into the wonderful knowledge of mac, just can't seem to get into my start up disk to drag anything out, oh how i tried, and tried, but the wittew imac just wouldn't wet me....

very funny
if you moderate your tone peopel are more inclined to help you
are you sure you are logged in as admin ?
are any of the files you want to throw away secured or read only ?

 

[Rich Dickins]

I'm not sure that I am logged in as Admin(?). Probably not, not sure how, and the only way I can get to my start up disk is through sys. Pref. When I click on the Start Up Disk Icon, It will only let me select which program to use for startup. Am very new to mac, a Windoze convert, and bad one at that...

Hi there and welcome !

Is there any other accounts on the computer or just yours ?

If there is only yours then you will 'admin'...

Is the Mac booting okay ? Can you see the Finder ? Hard Disk Icon ? If so can you not just drag items to the trash ? What does it say ?

regards
