Remember that when you paste to a drive or folder do not open that drive or folder. Nav to it and then press Command V to paste or Command Option V to move the hilighted item.

Hi all, subject line says it all. Of course I would like to do this with Voiceover.

Currently, when I try to do this, I copy . any file or folder but when it comes to pasting it I get the lovely dong sound. Not what I want.

Work around
Copy to dropbox and use the rest on Windows. Wait for all information to sync. Plug in external hard drive and copy whatever I want to to the clipboard. Paste it into the desired location on the external hard drive. Done.

Obviously this would be cumbersome to backup this way so I want to no and please no body mention Time Machine because that's not what I want and remotely not interested in. A method, using Voiceover to manually copy and paste files from Mac to external hard drive without the crazy work around I have detailed above using windows. Yes sorry folks I have mentioned the other beast it's because its the only way I can move stuff manually so I... not the computer is in control.

Sorry if I've offended anyone from talking about the other OS but I hope you can understand and appreciate at times we just have to use other operating systems to get a job or task done and this is my comparison and the way I do it at present. However, if you stop and think about it that's not necessarily a bad thing. One has then the best of both worlds. :)

Look forward to learning how its done ;)

Thanks
