Hi I did try deleting in the dowloads folder but it wouldn't let me do it for 
some reason.  Yes pages is there I just wonder if I can transfer files directly 
from the flash drive from my pc to the mac and if I can do a mass transfer and 
how to do it.  Sorry if I wasn't clear.
Don't know why the downloads aren't deleting.
