[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1430914, member: 110816"] With the external HD plugged into the MB, click on any of the files click Get Info and you'll see a dialog like the one below (a random one I picked from Google) [IMG]http://wiki.mcneel.com/_media/rhino/mac/macv5getinfo64bit.png[/IMG] Now, look at the Sharing & Permissions section. You will see three rows..the first is the User (owner) of the file, the second is the Group (staff is in this case) and the last is World (or everyone as Mac calls it). Each of these have a particular permission associated with them. Usually all files are Read & Write for the User(Owner), they are Read for Group and World. If two accounts both belonged to the same Group (staff) for example, and the permissions were set to Read & Write for the Group, then both users can access the files without any problems. So take a look at the Get Info dialog and tell us exactly what you see. Also, the first line there will say "<your username> (me)" which should match up with your username your MBP. [/QUOTE]
