"On Windows I used to... Safely remove hardware (such as external USB or Flash drives)

With the exception of external storage devices, you don't need to ‘safely remove hardware’ on a Mac. With external disks, just make sure you eject them – as for CDs and DVDs, except you don't use the eject key on the keyboard –before you unplug them."

I have a Canon A ??? and a Nikon D 80. The Canon has a way to eject but I don't know where the eject is for the Nikon and I always get the”THIS DEVICE WAS SHUT DOWN IMPROPERLY yada yada yada”. Give me a clue...

I’m not an expert on Macs, heck barely above novice but ..

To eject a flash drive or anything else I’ve plugged into my Mac, I right click on the device icon on the desktop. Select ‘eject’ and the

icon disappears.

I’ve got a question...

In Win XP, I could hold the ‘CTRL’ key while highlighting a file and then another many files away. Every file between those 2 files would highlight.

I haven’t found an equivalent in OSX. Is there one?
