You can check this in Disk Utility.
Macs can read and write Microsoft FAT format. Microsoft NTFS format is read only unless you get a copy of this: http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-for-mac/

How does one remove the write-protection from a memory car? I have been trying to copy some sound and pictures from my computer to my memory card, but it has been telling me that the memory card is write protected and I have to remove the write protection. someone please help!!!

Hi tessiebest
Is memory card in SD adapter in card reader on your PC, as there is a little slider on the SD adapter which you can slide to "lock" write protect?
You can also "password protect" a memory card in your phone.

Remove Write Protection of my HD

I have two WD-My Passport HD, 500 GB. Im using them as a DJ device. I formatted them in MS-DOS (FAT), using the Disk Utilities. But after I put the songs in the HD, when I connect it to the CD Player, it appears the message "ERROR - Remove Write Protection”. How do I remove this protection?

Thanks very much for replying! I have had my memory stick for a good while and it has always worked perfectly fine on any computer (OSX and Windows) and I've been able to save or delete files as I wish. But then suddenly the stick just wouldn't let me save any files in it anymore and says it's write protected (hope that's the right term, I'm not an English speaker). So I've been trying to figure out how to remove the write protection so that I would be able to use it as I did before, e.g. saving/deleting files. I came across with tips that said that in some sticks there could be a physical switch and just wanted to make clear that this is not the case with my stick. I did found some instructions how to remove the protection in Windows, but they were no use for me. Does this make it any clearer, I hope ?

How can i remove write protection from a Hard drive

Cant write to HDD on win7 keeps saying "the disk is write protected" Drive is in a removable IDE caddy, I put the drive in a USB caddy and was able to format the drive, but still get the same error when i try to write to it, I took ownership of the drive and it shows me as the owner. The drive was used in XP previously but i no longer have an XP system since upgrading to Win7. I have removed the partition with Paragon drive copy and re partitioned the drive, renamed the drive but still gives the same error.

I used succesfully diskpart (on my Windows 7).
In "Command prompt" (Start -> Run -> cmd) type "diskpart" and press enter.
(I wrote "cmd" and then on right click menu I clicked on "Run as administrator").
In diskpart utility (in the same dos window) you have to type "list volume".
You can see your disk (I see all my 4 partitions on the disk that give me the problem) with a progressive number index.
Type "select volume #" and press enter, "#" is the number corresponding to your disk/partition.
Wait the response.
Then type "attributes disk clear readonly" and wait (I wait 2/3 minutes) for the result.
It says that operation was completed, and I can write on my partitions (and run checking/scanning on it).
Hi,
The hard drive I had problems with had 3 partitions and at least one was write-protected. Just to make sure I used the above "diskpart" commands on each volume and it cleared the write-protected attributes and was able to format the 10Gb partition I used
just for storing the Pagefile.sys file.
The write-protect attribute on this WD AV 1Tb h/drive may have been added as it was previously used in my Foxtel IQ box. I used Ghost 11.5.1 to clone my failing WD 1Tb h/drive that had 1376 delays and 50 bad sectors when scanned with HDD Regenerator
onto the previously used Foxtel IQ h/drive.
Cheerz ;)
Thanks again, I was pulling my hair out to find a solution.

How to detect write protected SD card

Hello all
I couldn't find the answer to my question, so I have started a new thread.
Problem: I would like for Labview (or TestStand directly) to programatically detect if an SD (secure digital) card has the "write protection" slider switch active.
Is this possible somehow?
PS: I was also not able to find this information anywhere in Windows 7 as well. I'm using LV 2011 SP1.
PPS: At the moment I try to create a file on the SD card, and detect the write error, which tells me if the card is protected or not. But I would like a more elegant solution.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unless you want to dive deeply into Windows device drivers itself and intercept some messages on that API level I'm afaid your way of detecting write protection is the only feasable one.
The link by Marco might give you a feasable solution, the problem is that those flags are not always correct for all possible mediums including network shares.

How to make write protect for Excel

Hi all
I need a clarification from you all
I am exporting my data's to Excel sheet and saving it in the hard disk.
I need to protect the sheet with password for opening the sheet
Kindly can anyone help me in this
Thanks
Regards
Bala

Have a look at the image below to password protect your workbook:
Make sure that you close all the references to Excel. Each refnum wire needs to end either in an indicator if it is going to be a sub VI, or an Automation close if the VI is not a subVI.

HT201303 How to remove money from your iTunes gift card?

i have left 44 cents on my gift card and i want them to remove

This doens't make sense. Your card is either redeemed or not.
Do you mean your Store Credit on your Account?
You can ask the iTS to clear out the cents if you need.

Ipod Nano sync error : Hard disk write protected

I have a 2nd gen IPod nano 4 GB. I had Itunes 7.1 installed on my PC when I last synced. A week later my disk crashed and in the new disk I installed Itunes 7.2. When I tried to sync, I get a error message which says " disk is write protected. Please remove write protect and sync again "
Can someone help

No, you can use a third party program like Yamipod, or XPlay2, etc. But I would advise you to download iTunes anyhow, even if you have to go to another computer and then burn it to a CD or something.

How do I "un-write protect" USB flash drives?

I recently purchased a new computer that has Windows 8. One of my many flash/thumb drives is now suddenly marked "write-protected" when I did nothing to make it so. I found a solution listed for Windows 7. I applied it to my
own computer, however it did not change the said drive from write-protected to un-write protected. I simply want to move files to another storage device and re-format the write-protected drive for new files. How do I un-write-protect my flash/thumb
drive in the Windows 8 operating system?

I ran in to the same problem but none of the instructions here helped. doing some more searching i found a different article that supplied the answer for my issue. wanted to share in case other were still having issues.
If the problem is persistent with the drive and you still can't copy files to it or format it after:-
1- You tried removing read-only permission from the drive properties
2- You tried formatting from Windows
3- You tried formatting from CMD using DISKPART
4- You tried editing the Registry solution (for WriteProtect word)
5- You tried the different free online tools like
HDD LL Format tool and HP Format Tool
Then your drive is corrupt and needs the internal chipset S/W to be flashed, i.e. repairing the USB software The
steps below will lead you to get a small program to run on your USB memory-stick which is specific to your MANUFACTURER (make) and PRODUCT (model). If you don't want to go through the headache of the manufacturer's technical support then
do it yourself as follows (which I source from here):-
1- Get Chip
Genius portable application from here which
you will use to find the VID and PID of the USB stick chip.
2- Search for the tool to repair your USB stick S/W from FlashBoot
website . Search using your VID and PID from the previous step.
3- Search on Google for the name of the application you find in the "UTILS" column in the page from step 2 and the first link on Google Results
(usually) will take you back to the FlashBoot website to download the utility to get your USB drive repaired.
It worked for me for my Kingston Data Traveler flash drive. It didn't work with all the common options for fixing the USB drive having "write protected",
but the above solution I found after hours and hours of searching online and asking my computer-geeks colleagues.
Hope this helps!

Hello! The question is this. In London, took the Iphone 5 as sim free, flew to Moscow put Simcoe, and he writes me that is locked to the operator O2. Can anyone encountered this problem? What to do? How to remove the Unlock?

Hello! The question is this. In London, took the Iphone 5 as sim free, flew to Moscow put Simcoe, and he writes me that is locked to the operator O2. Can anyone encountered this problem? What to do? How to remove the Unlock?
<Edited by Host>

Look at your receipt. Does it say unlocked? It is possible to purchase both locked "sim free" and unlocked iPhones from Apple.
ONLY the carrier an iPhone is locked to can legitimately unlock it.
IF your receipt says that it was supposed to be unlocked, and it is not, call AppleCare. They should be able to straighten it out.
