Dear List,
Firstly, many thanks for the suggestions re: networking in OSX. I have yet to try many of the methods as I have since b*llsed my system up in my first attempt to repair permissions. I went to "get info" on the main drive and changed some of the settings from "system" to "admin" and then clicked "apply to enclosed items".
Scenario is:
G4 DP1.25 OS10.3.4
External firewire drive and one internal drive (two partitions) are visible but when I click on the icon I am told I cannot access them because I do not have sufficient privileges. I have since moved the external drive to test on another (untouched) machine but am told the same, which leads me to believe the permissions must be on the drive itself. So how on earth do I access the drive to change the permissions? I have looked on version tracker, but can only find s/w for 10.1. I have bought a copy of Disk Warrior, which can see all the info on the disk, but then locks the disk again after its operation.
My RAID which is used purely as a scratch disk (so empty) was "fixed" by reformatting. I would rather not format the other drives as there are image files on there I could do without losing.
Am I being really dumb? Maybe best not to answer that one....
Any pointers to apps that may help?
Kind regards,
Tim. *********************************** Tim Ainsworth Photography Ltd, Manchester, UK. +44 (0)161 272 8885 http://www.timainsworth.com Member of The Association of Photographers http://www.the-aop.org
