Subject: MEDIA ITEMS WON'T COPY TO FTM FOR MAC

Hi All,
Am suddenly having a problem with "copying media folder to this tree and link to it here" as the drop down box with this option is no longer appearing. I suspect what may have happened is that I have inadvertently clicked on the "Link to this file where it is without copying it" (therefore my desktop) and then have accidentally clicked on the "Always use this selection without prompting me" box. How can I uncheck this box - seems impossible when the drop down box no longer appears. I can't imagine why I would do this though - perhaps something weird happened after the many crashes I've experienced! Am using FTM 2010 for Mac. Media items are being saved to FTM media but FTM can't open them as they are saved to my desktop, so I have to do a manual search. I just want my new added media safely stored within FTM with my old media just like before. Have phoned Ancestry but they don't have an answer. A consultant told me a report has been written and I'll here back in a few days. Very frustrating. Has anyone experienced this problem before or has any ideas how to fix?
