Re: [mac4theblind] how to manually copy and paste to external hard drives?
I don’t read subject lines, it slows me down.
What are the exact steps you are performing?

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
