RE: [Avid-L2] Mac issue

I would use "sudo" in the terminal:

Open a terminal window (in /Applications/Utilities/)
type "sudo chmod -R o+rw " (make sure you type the space at the end) then drag the problem folder into the terminal window (its path should be added to the end of the command.
Press return.
Type your normal password (nothing visible happens - don't panic!)

That should give all users read and write permission on the folder and everything inside it.

I need to tap the Mac gurus here.

I have some folders of footage a client put on dropbox. I download and put on my drive. But I need to update and can't. I can't drag files into the folder (get the circle slash icon) and I can't even delete or trash the folder and reload the updated. All the folders and files have the little blue lock in the lower left corner. No matter what I do in the Cmd-I unlock and unlock enclosed items…nothing happens. I can't fix permissions on this drive as its not a start up drive. How can I unlock these folders? I can't change permissions to read/write for the admin as it says I don't have necessary permissions. This is really frustrating. What can you tell me about this issue?

thanks
