My hard drive is not saving new files.

Word is telling me file is "write protected" and other files tell me I don't have "permission" to save them. Help! Thanks
Okay. Ronda is right. I have a MacBook, not Pro. I have tons of harddrive space left. I ran the Repair Disk Permissions. I checked the 'get info' on the harddrive. All permissions in order. I'm away from the office and don't have an external drive to save to, or I'd try that. I'm logged in as the admin. Is my harddrive going south? I have an old version of M.Office. I'm gonna close that and try saving something else to see if it's created a conflict. It really slows the processer down. Thanks to you both. Still searching...

I figured it out. I was trying to save to a write-protected folder. duh. All is well. Thanks. Xl8

  • External Hard Drive will not copy/open files.

    Today, I went to edit photos on my iMac. I have a 1tb G-Drive Mobile that I have been using lately to store photos/videos on. I last used the hard drive this past friday, 4/4/2014. When I opened Lightroom to open my photos the whole program froze. I them went to the hard drive to see if there was something wrong with the folder and I soon found out that I was not able to open any files on the hard drive. I can see all the folders and individual files on the hard drive in finder but I am unable to open/copy/ or view any of these files. Every time I attempt to open/copy a file my whole computer freezes. Once I unplug the hard drive (w/o ejecting) everything goes back to normal. I have absolutely no idea what is going on. It worked fine one day and the next it doesn't function. I have tried using it on 2 MacBook Pros and my iMac and same result with all three computers.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    when I tried to copy all files
    Exactly which files did you copy?
    Quit iTunes.
    Copy the entire /iTunes/ folder frn one external to the other.
    Hold Shift, launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder you want on the external.

  • Photoshop action replacing previous photo not saving new file

    I have multiple photos that I am running an action on but each photo is replacing the one before using the same file name. instead of using the original file name. So I end up with 1 edited photo!!! from the action!
    This is happening using cs5 I have not encounted this before.
    Any ideas?
    Rob

    Thanks R-Kelly
    I sorted as images imported via drop box were file named !!
    2012-10-15 00.13.26.jpg ,
    2012-10-15 00.14.15.jpg etc
    I think photoshop action could not work with the odd file naming???
    So re-imported using image browser with file names image_01.jpg, image_02.jpg etc and worked
    On cs5.1 on mac os x
    Thanks Rob

    Hello,
    Try repairing the disk permissions by doing the following :
    To open Disk Utility, from the Applications folder, open Utilities and then double-click the Disk Utility icon.
    In the column on the left, click your startup disk.
    Click the First Aid Tab tab, and then click Repair Disk Permissions.Disk Utility will reset any files and folders with incorrect settings.
    Hope this helps.

  • I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not enough space?

    I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not there is not enough space for both files files? Do I need to do something to have it continue to update my old file instead of recreating a new one?

    Depending on what version of OSX you're running, and how the data was transferred, you may be out of luck.
    If you're running Lion, and your backups were made to a directly-connected external HD (ie, not a Time Capsule or other network location), you may be able to get Time Machine to "associate" the new disk with the old backups.  See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, especially the pink box there.
    If you're running Snow Leopard, you might be able to do a full system restore of your backups to the new HD.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for detailed instructions.  That should leave a "trail" that Time Machine can follow to "associate" the new drive with the old backups.  Unfortunately, that doesn't always work, and there's no way to do it manually, as there is with Lion.

  • I just saved my iphoto original library to my external hard drive, now how do i create new space on my hard drive and create a new iphoto library

    i just saved my iphoto original library to my external hard drive, now how do i create new space on my hard drive and create a new iphoto library

    Trash the copy of the library you just moved. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    But do you want to have two iPhoto Libraries? Why not just use the one on the External?

  • I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive.  The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive.  Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

    I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive.  The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive.  I no longer have access to the old computer.  Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

    That's a bummer, didn't realize the exHD files were corrupt, esp if you have tried from another PC and not just this new computer.
    You can get purchases from the itunes store transferred from an iPod using these directions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848?viewlocale=en_US
    If you want everything (meaning non-itunes songs, app data, photos, etc) you need to buy a 3rd-party ipod manager that support iTouch. Here is an iLounge article to start your research:

  • I'm not able to move files from my mac to my hard drive, but i can move files from my hard drive to my Mac.  Would really like to make more room on my mac-any suggestions to get these files onto the hard drive?

    When i plug my external hard drive into my mac i'm able to see all the files on it and move files off the hard drive to the mac, but not the other way around.  I need to make more room on my mac and would really like these files to be on this particular external hard drive.  Any help would be great!
    Thank you
    Kris

    Thank you all.  Sounds like i might as well buy a new (mac OS supported) external hard drive.  Not worth the hassle/risk of taking all the old files off my current external HD. 
    Really appreciate all your help!

    If you need to extract the drive's content you can remove it and install it in a $10 USB enclosure. It will be readable by any recent Mac.

  • New hard drive is not recognized by my MacBook Pro.

    New hard drive is not recognized by my MacBook Pro. The supplier says I need to update my BIOS. True? How do I do that?
    Hard drive: NN2-72-500-SSE Seagate Momentus 7200.4 (ST9500423AS) 500GB Laptop Hard Drive
    Mac OS: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5

    I went through a similar issue with a Seagate Momentus 750GB HDD/8GB SSD with my late-2011 MBP.  No matter what I tried, the machine would not recognize the drive.
    To test it, I installed the drive in an old ThinkPad, and it worked fine.  Then I tried installing it in my PS3, and the drive worked fine there, too.  It was only the MBP which had issues.
    I don't *think* Macs have a BIOS to update.  But I know my MBP has issues with certain HDD's (including another external which works fine on other Macs and all Windows machines).
    You might be able to find my thread by searching under my username, perhaps something in there will offer a tip.  Otherwise, you might have to go the same route I did: install a WD Scorpio Black instead.  Or upgrade to an SSD.
    Good luck to you-

  • New Internal 1 TB hard drive is not recognized by OSX 10.5 Install

    My iMac G5 iSight was not booting up. I brought it to the apple store and they diagnosed that it needed a new hard drive. Decided to DIY and save $350. Bought a Hitachi SATA 3.5" 1 TB hard drive. Installation was not too difficult. It took several attempts to format, then installed OSX. Now just a gray screen and fan comes on at start up. When I run the utilities program on the install disk the hard drive does not appear in list for formatting or for target drive for OSX installation. However the disk shows up under system profiler SATA drive. I did not see any jumpers on this drive or the drive I removed. I also removed the 1 GB ram extension because I was getting kernal panic when trying to install the OS. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

    The iSight models are NOT user repairable except for RAM installation. You will need to take your computer to an Apple Store or an AASP for the proper HD installation.

  • I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program.

    I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and upgraded the memory and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program. I can see the hard drive in the disk utilities window however it wont let me do anything.
    It is a seagate 1TB SATA II drive however it is displaying it as a 7.3 TB.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
    I have tried to erase and partition and get the same error message each time, 'Input/Output error'.
    I have tried starting the thing with the install disk which is Mac OS X (Tiger?) which came with the computer. No good.
    Anyone?

    Thats correct. I can see it in the list however when I attempt to erase it or partition it it's like it's not being found or recognised and it throws up the input/output error message. I am pretty sure that the sensor it attached correctly and it is a SATA drive. I can see all the infor regarding the drive when disk utility is open and it all looks good but I cant access it or do anything with it. It's taunting me!
    The install disk is in the drive and the install program runs right up to the point where you have to select the location for the install and there is just nothing in the box where you have to select the hard drive icon.
    I have my suspiscions about the drive but any help would be appreciated.
