Can't unlock folders on my External Hard drive.....

When i try to delete or add stuff to certain folders on my external hard drive I am unable to.
Under folder info it says "you can only read" and when I try to uncheck the locked button it doesn't change.
I've been looking through the forums but I cant find any easy, understandable way to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Whether it can fixed or not depends on how the drive is formatted. If it is FAT32 you may be out of luck, but if it is in a standard Mac format you should be able to fix it. Take a look at this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5908325
For FAT32 I have been unable to find any information at all on either the cause or a solution.

  • Import problem. LR4 Can't see folders on my external hard drive.

    When I go to import to select the device from which to import in, it doesn't show me the folders in that device. So I click show subfolders and then it shows me my thousands of photos
    I want to be able to select the folders to look at from my External Hard drive but there is no drop down menu.
    I know it's there because I've used it before.
    I'm not sure if I've posted my screen shot or not.
    I've fixed the problem but I don't know why it keeps happening so I want to find out what I'm doing.
    file://localhost/Users/granttara/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202013-01-19%20at%2012.29.10%20PM.p ng
    In the screen shot you can see that my External Hard IS showing the folders it contains but I have no idea how I got that function back when it goes.
    I've clicked on arrows and right clicked on things and then 'boom' it's working again.
    Any help so I know what to do in the future would be great.
    Thanks.

    Now that I see the screenshot I understand what you mean:  The NO NAME is being interpreted as a camera memory card (a device) rather than a removable hard-drive, so when you import images from a CF card it doesn’t show all the subfolders, it just shows the pictures, and won’t let you do an Add or Movie import, just the two Copy variations.
    Try this:
    1)   Click on the up-down arrow to the right of NONAME
    2)   Select Other Source…
    3)   Navigate to a subfolder on NO NAME and click Select or Ok or whatever it says and it’ll list that subfolder.  The icon at the top left should change from a straight-on black device icon to a rotated, lighter removable drive icon.
    4)   Press F5 to refresh the Files icons and your NO NAME device should show up as a drive-letter or removable drive down in the lower area, in addition to being a Device above.   Once it is in the lower Files area you should have the clickable arrows to go into subfolders.

  • How to unlock folders on an external hard drive

    I have a 2008 Macbook Pro 15" that somehow died. I had done my regular backing up, and today I tried to open some of the files I have in my timemachine backups. Unfortunately all the folders are locked and have the little red circle with the minus sign. Trying to change permissions in the Get Info window is not possible. I have even tried moving my entire Pictures folder onto my iMac desktop and opening it there to no avail. It continues to say, "The folder “Pictures” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." 35gigs of professional images...I thought backing up was saving my files. Any ideas on how to get access? I have other backups on this harddrive for other Macs in the house, like my wifes, and I can access those without the red circle...

    You need to switch to the backup in Time Machine so you can be logged into the other backup with the proper username and password. That is why the folders are not accessible. You should find the procedure at Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.

  • One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

    One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

    Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

    I want the folders I already backed up to come together into one folder when that year is over. Is there a way to manually do that or automatic through TM?
    I'm quite sure there is no "automatic" way to do this. I've never heard of anyone trying it either. I suppose if you wanted try it, you could simply create a new folder in the same partition TM is on, label it for that year, then gather all the days for that year and drag/drop them into the folder. I suspect (but do not know) you'd be risking the continuity of your backups, meaning TM would simply start over again, meaning that next back up would start a new series of backups, with the first one roughly equalling the entire capacity of your internal HD, instead of adding only the new data to the previous backup. Once again, I would recommend against it, unless you're fine with TM starting a new series of backups if it doesn't work out the way you want it to. Hope you'll post back with results so we can learn from it.

    The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

    Hello Ian. I am currently using Lion installed on a WD My Passport 500Gig drive connected to my MBPro via USB, which is still running 10.6.8. Like you I am not prepared to lose all my currently functioning Mac, but also like to see how the new OS runs before making the total switch, maybe when it gets to 10.7.2
    So after you download Lion and select to run the installer it will show you which disk to install on, being the default SL drive you downloaded Lion with. But here you can click Other Disk and select the external HD. The installer will run and then boot into the external drive to complete the installation. From then on you can use Startup Disk or the Option key to select the preferred OS.

  • Can Time Capsule support an additional external hard drive?

    A friend of mine is using Airport Extreme and has both his printer and external hard drive hooked through it accessing both wirelessly. The Apple site says this works great with Extreme but does not say you can do the same thing with Time Capsule. I called our local store and she wasn't sure. Both Extreme and Time Capsule have one USB port so no matter what, you have to split the USB(I know this works with Extreme). All my music is on an additional hard drive and it would be great if I could access it wirelessly. If anyone has done this with time capsule please let me know. I want to purchase it but if not I will go with Extreme.

    Can Time Capsule support an additional external hard drive?
    Yes.

    Can time capsule back up an external hard drive attached to my imac and the iMac internal Harddrive

    In addition to Kappy's comments, the external drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in order for Time Machine to be able to back it up.

  • Brand new to forum.  Can a Maxtor IV One Touch external hard drive previously used on a PC be formatted to work with my Mac Pro OSX  version 10.6.8?

    I've never participated in a forum before; so, please let me know if I'm going about it wrong.
    My question is this:  Can a Maxtor One Touch 4 external hard drive that was previously used on a PC be set up for use on my Mac Pro?  I'm preparing to upgrade the Mac to the most recent software version and it was suggested I back everything up first.
    I reformatted the hard drive so it is currently empty.  There are icons on my Mac desktop for One Touch 4 and Maxtor Manager but other than that nothing appears to be working.  There are no drives showing in the Maxtor Manager so I suspect that's where I need to start.  However, I don't know enough about what I'm doing to move ahead on my own and I don't want to screw anything up.  If anyone knows the steps I should take next, I'd sure appreciate hearing from you.

    I am embarrassed how simple that was.  I did warn you that I'm technologically challenged; I'm pretty sure that proved it.
    The external hard drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The link you provided indicates the external drive will work with Time Machine.  I've never worked with Time Machine and don't know what my next step should be.  Would you please walk me through it?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.  From the points you have accumulated, I can tell you have helped many others and I thank you for your generosity.

    And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
    Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
    What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

    How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    OS X cannot natively write to a drive formatted as NTFS, nor can it format a drive as NTFS. There are third-party NTFS drivers available on the market.
    Just out of curiosity: Even with NTFS, how is your TV going to access the external hard drive? Does the TV have a USB port?
