I tried that but it didn't seem to help. The various folders were still read only when I did that to the drive alone. I don't know if ignore ownership overrides the read only status. It didn't seem to but I only tried it on the drive and not the get info for the folders and sub folders. Now it's working but all the media files in the folder are still read only. I imagine there is a way to highlight them all and change them to read/write access or do I have to go to the folder they are in and set it to inherit from the parent folder. I'm more familiar with the PC side of parent and subfolder behavior. Is there an equivalent on the Mac side?
