I got my 1st Imac last week and I am trying to organise all my music on it. I bought an MP3 tag editor called Jaikoz, and when I try to open a music folder on my external hard drive, it says it cant open the file because they are read only.
I searched help and found out to "Get Info" from the Finder menu and then to click "sharing and permissions". However, this is where the help failed me - it said to click the lock and type my user name and password. That's the first problem - I cant see a lock icon and I therefore cannot follow the rest of the instructions to amend the files as "write".
I dont know what version of os X it is or how to check - I went to 10.5 for the prefix in this thread.
Can you help?
Thanks.
