[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1692992, member: 131855"] Jake, I think the OP is running into a file permissions issue. On my iMac when I look at permissions on the entire drive the only users listed are System, Wheel, and Everyone. System is the only user that has read/write permissions. Everyone else is read only. The system is really expecting you to store files in one of the Documents folder inside your user folder. @bashyram69 Single click on the icon for your hard drive and then use the Get Info command (command+I simultaneously). In the sharing section see if your username is listed. If not that's probably the problem It used to be possible to add your username to that list but I can't seem to do it at the moment. In the meantime here's a temporary fix: 1. Double click the hard drive so you can see the folders in a window. Make sure you are at the root level of the drive and not inside your user folder. 2. Right click a blank space in the window and choose New Folder from the drop down menu. 3. Name the folder whatever you like. You should be able to save files inside that folder. [/QUOTE]
