Since I had that problem with the frozen iPod it doesn't stay on the desktop. When I plug it into the computer it shows up in the navigator section and on the desktop. I check off all the books I want loaded as usual and right after it updates the image on the desktop disappears. It's still available in the navigator but it sure makes it hard to drag it to the trash if it isn't there. Is this a problem? I've just been ignoring that part and so far things seems to be ok. No dialog boxes warning me of dire trouble being caused by not "putting it away". terry http://www.terrypogue.com OS 10.2.6 iMovie 3.-.3
