[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1431029, member: 110816"] OK, let's see if we can do this a bit quicker at the Terminal (I'm faster with that than the UI :) ).. Open up the Terminal and try the following commands [CODE] cd /Volumes/<Name of External HD> ls -l [/CODE] You will see something like the following.. [CODE] total <number> drwxr-xr-x <number> <username> <group> <number> <date> <time> <directory name> -rwxr-xr-x <number> <username> <group> <number> <date> <time> <file name> [/CODE] The first is a directory and the second is a file. You will see a bunch of these. Take a look at the <username> and <group> entries..let's see if it says your wife's username or your username from your MBP.. [/QUOTE]
