How do I change permissions for West Dig USB HD, how said "read only" and can't use it.

I have a West Did Hard drive from my PC that want to use on my Macbook.  Looking at the permissions said "read only".  I tried to move files on the drive and could not when attached to my Macbook.  Where do I change these settings that will allow me to use this drive.  Thanks for any help.
This is my first Mac so do not know much about the Mac process, moving slow and steady.

Was this drive in use with a windows machine previously?
If yes then I would guess that it is formatted as NTFS, Mac's can not write to NTFS discs.
If you have sufficient space on your Mac copy the disk contents to a folder on your desktop and reformat the drive for use with Mac and Windows, then put the files back.
Post back with some answers and I'll try to guide you through this

    You create an @icloud.com address in the first place by signing into Settings>iCloud with your Apple ID and choosing an addres - you can only create an @icloud.com address, not @me.com.
    Then if you want further addresses on the same account you can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

  • How do I Change Permissions for a UME Role:  UME.Manage_Users

    I am trying to set up a helpdesk role that will allow a limited number of users to reset passwords and unlock users.
    I do not want them to be able to change user data, delete or create users.
    I created a user and assigned it the user administration content. I removed all except the search, previous search and locked users options. In the permissions I clicked on yes for the manage_users capability.
    However, the manage_users option is set to all by default. How can I change it so they only have reset password and unlock capabilities?

    Hi,
    Mangae_users action in UME is basically for delegated admin's. With this action an user can do all admin activities for the particular company.
    If you want to give only password change permission assign the action
    UME.Manage_all_user_passwords. With this action an user can view and change all user passwords.
    Refer the link below also for more information.

  • How to set Permissions for Mac HD from "No Access" to "Read only"

    Hi everyone! My friend's having a problem with her MacBook Pro. She accidentally changed the value of the Macintosh HD's privilege for everyone from Read only to No access. (See attached image for reference/guide). Seconds after, her Mac crashed. She rebooted her laptop, the Apple logo shows up with the usual scrolling week. Afterwards, the scrolling wheel disappears but the Apple logo is still there and it no longer proceeds to her login/desktop screen anymore.
    We already tried Repairing Disk Permissions (by pressing Command +R on bootup) and Repair Disks, rebooted, but it's still up to nothing. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a Time Machine backup.
    Is there a way to revert the changes even though the login/desktop screen can't be accessed? Is having the value "No access" on your Macintosh HD unsafe and will make you locked out of your system?
    I am looking forward to your fast and favorable feedback. :-)
    Thanks in advance!

    There is currently no way to access the disk, no access means no access.
    Others may know better but I would backup the data on the drive, erase and reinstall.

  • How do I change permissions for the documents and files on my Mac Book Pro after I re-instaalled the HD using a Time Machine back-up?

    I had to re-install the HD on my Mac Book Pro. I used a Time Machine back-up for all the apps and files. Most were restored, However, I cannot unlock a number of them. I tried changing the permissions using Get info but it is not working. I am using the latest version of Moutain Lion OSX.

    Linc:
    Very helpful suggestion and response, Thanks for pointing out that it is a permission issue. I am working through the issue and resolving my problem.

  • When I click on add-ons it shows for a second then automatically goes to Garmin URL and can't use add-ons

    my add-ons has been hijacked and the garmin url immediately replaces add-ons and I lose the functionality of add-ons. Thank you.

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
    know what they are.

    Hi
    One Must NEVER move or alter any folders named
    • iMovie Event's - or -
    • iMovie Projects - or - alike
    on DESKTOP/FINDER - Ever ! - ONLY Within the iMovie Program ! else all connections are broken and hard to impossibly to mend !
    but rather do as described here under
    Moving Event's and Project's
    Connection - Either connect one Mac in Target mode to the other via FireWire. Or use an external hard disk !
    (Target-Mode - Start one Mac e.g. laptop - BUT keep T-key down during full up-start - Now a FW-symbol is jumping around the screen and it will work as an external hard disk when connected to the other Mac)
    A. The External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work for Video. UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things but not for Video whatever program is used (iMovie or FinalCut)
    B. Should be a FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me and especially when filling up
    C. Do never Move or Alter any folder named
    • iMovie Event's - or -
    • iMovie Project's
    on DeskTop/Finder - as this will result in iMovie losing connections to them and repair can be anything from hard to impossibly
    D. Moving and Copying must be done within iMovie application and Events to Events - and - Project's to Project's.
    E. Moving Project's to Event's - Do not work for me - I have to export project as a QuickTime movie then Import this into Events.
    Event's window can show two faces
    Like this
    or like this
    from one hard disk Event - You can move it to the other hard disk
    You can not (at least not me) move Event to Project or other way around only
    Event to Event and Project to Project

  • Change permissions for UME repository

    Dear friends,
           Is it possible to change permissions for the ume repository. By default, it has "Allow" permission for List Children and Read properties. I dont see any options to change permissions under Settings -> permissions. Does anyone here in this forum knows how can I achieve the same? I am actually trying to index the ume repository and the crawler fails. I was wondering if the repository needed to have a full control. So, I am trying to change the permissions.
    We are on EP6 SP13 (all components)
    Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Mandar

  • How do I change permissions on my seagate expansion drive from read only to read and write?  Thank you!

    I don't seem to be able to change the permissions on my Seagate 1TB Expansion Drive from read only to read and write.
    Are there expansion drives compatible with both Windows and Mac as I have a Windows computer at work and use my Mac at home?
    Thanks

    It is a question of formats.  That drive probably is formatted for Windows.  You will have to reformat it to ExFAT on the PC, then it will work both on the Mac and the PC.

  • How do the change management for the configuration of the adapters

    Hi all.
    How do the change management for the configuration of the adapters, when i transport the software version component from an development system to production system.
    For example, for to change the url parameters of adapters soap inside the production system. I will need type, the news values in this system?
    Thanks
    Best Regards.

    There is an option to pass all the paramters except those who changes from
    system to system.
    for example,
    if you are reading from a file from the directory: <SYS>\CREMAS_<TS>.XML
    when <SYS> is DEV or QAS or PROD, and <TS> is time stamp,
    you can create channel template that read file with file pattern CREMAS_*.XML,
    this can save you a lot of work, however, parameters that are diffrent in every system, (in this case the directory DEV,QAS,PROD) you must enter manually in every system.

  • How to implement Change pointers for Purchase order - ME22N - Custom Fields

    Hi Experts,
    Can you please tell me how to implement - Change Pointer for Custom fields in IDOC.
    I am working on IDOC - For purchase order - acknowledgements - in custom screen/tab in ME22N.
    Everything is working fine according to my requirement.
    All i need to know is the process of - Creating/Change - Change pointers for Custom fields.
    1.How to implement change pointers for custom fields.
    2.Can we maintain - Change Document - for custom fields at data element level?
    P.S. - I have browsed many previous - forums before posting a new discussion.
    please share your inputs...
    explaining how to create/implement - change pointers for custom fields will help me .
    Regards,
    Karthik Rali.

    Hi,
    To maintain Change Document for custom field:
    1. Check if "Change document" checkbox is set in data element.
    2. Find Change Document Object for transaction.
       You can use SQL trace - ST05.
       Look there for line with table CDHDR and statement insert values
       (for example for transaction KA02 Change Document Object is KSTAR)
    3. Regenerate update program for this Change Document Object in transaction SCDO
    Change documents for z-fields schould be generated.
    I am not sure about change pointers but they are configured somehow in BD61 and BD50.
