2 |
Make the file you want to save active by clicking it. |
3 |
Choose Save from the File menu. |

If your computer hangs when trying to connect to your iDisk:
There may be problems on the network or you may be trying to connect from inside an electronic security barrier (a "firewall") that is blocking your connection. Try connecting later or using a connection that is not blocked by a firewall. Contact your ISP to be certain that it does not use a firewall and to determine whether network outages are affecting your connection.
