[QUOTE="jsosa8, post: 903644, member: 119970"] Hey everyone! I'm new to the world of Mac, and I came across a problem. I posted this in the forums of apple.com.... [I]"I have an external hard drive (iomega 500GB) which loaded files from a PC. They transferred well into my new MacBook Pro, but now I can't delete them. It first gives me a popup saying that the item will be deleted immediately when I move it to the Trash Can, and then it says this: "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred. (Error code -61)" My guess is that it has something to do with permissions or something? I can provide screenshots if needed." "I used my friend's PC to delete the files, but I still can't add or delete anything from the drive. I clicked on "Get info" and found out in "Sharing & Permissions" that "You can only read."
