CONNECTING THE DRIVE AND GETTING STARTED – 19
Using Mac OS X Leopard/Snow Leopard/Lion
Using Finder to Open the Public Folder
1. In a Finder window, click MyBookLiveDuo under the shared items in the side bar.
2. If presented with an authorization screen, select Guest, and then click Connect to
display the Public share:
3. Double-click the Public folder to display the media subfolders: Shared Music, Shared
Pictures, and Shared Videos. You can now drag and drop files into the shared folders
using Finder:
Note: The Public folder icon automatically displays on the desktop.
4. If you want to make a shared drive icon permanent on your desktop, create an alias.
Following are two ways to do that:
Note: Before creating an alias, click Finder > Preferences > General and make
sure Connected Servers is checked.
• Click the item you wish to alias (e.g., Shared Music), hold down the mouse button,
hold down the Cmd and Option keys simultaneously, and drag the item to where
you want the alias to appear. Instead of moving the original item, this creates an alias
at the new location.
