Hi,
I recently made the switch to a MacBook pro. I'm a longtime Windows user...
When I download files from Firefox, they are downloaded to the Desktop, but the icons don't actually appear. If I open the Finder, they don't appear under the Desktop there either. BUT - if I search for the file in the Finder, the file says it is on the Desktop and poof! All of a sudden, the file's icon appears on the Desktop and I see it in the normal Finder screen for the Desktop.
This doesn't just happen with the Desktop. If I print to PDF, for instance, the PDF may not show in the Finder UNTIL I search for it.
Am I doing something wrong? Or this normal behavior for a Mac (I can't imagine that it is)
Thanks!
