Hi,
Just updated Mac OS to latest version which went fine until I put in the Application cd which refused to read. I have been on the phone to apple support (very helpful people surprisingly) and they're sending out a replacement disk. In the meantime, however, I'm stuck with an incomplete install. Not only are all the iApps (and IE) non-functional but also all my permissions seem to have gone awry. I can't run Reason anymore because I don't have permission to register it! Is this normal and easy to solve or will t fix itself once I complete the install.
Secondly, I was thinking of reinstalling after wiping the disc but before I do that I need a way to back up my music library, but, finder won't let me just copy the folder across to my firewire hard disk (error -36). I don't fancy reimporting the whole thing again (there are about 2500 songs in it). Is there an easy way to do this or will I have to start from scratch
