Import Macintosh files using the pathname for the file?

Questions
1

This is the pathname my Macintosh gives me for a particular file

“Macintosh HD/MoveOver/Cards 1 to 1000”

Yet here’s what happens when I use it

data = Import [ "Macintosh HD/MoveOver/Cards 1 to 1000"]

Import::nffil: File not found during Import. >>

$Failed

I must be doing something wrong. I apologize for such a simple question, but I’ve spent all day on this including a visit to the local Apple store.

Typically on a single disk Mac you just omit the disk name and start with the root level of the drive with / IE:

data = Import [ "/MoveOver/Cards 1 to 1000"]

If you have multiple disks and you need to specify which one, the full path is

data = Import [ "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/MoveOver/Cards 1 to 1000"]
