and misterme, as I understand satcomers chmod advice, it's not about naming.
>Do you know your hard drive's name? You will need the name in place of YOURHARDRIVE:
Code:
sudo chmod 777 /Volumes/YOURHARDDRIVE
Then press return and put in your password and let it run until you get...
thank you misterme, for you thoughts.
the way you describe your migration process sounds a lot like my process.
here's a rundown of mine:
used superduper to make a full clone of the internal mbp2011 HGST HDD onto an external LACIE firewire HDD.
Still connecting the LACIE by firewire...
to be clear: folders that are read-only: (tho the folders enclosed therein may not be) : ssd main volume folder users system library utilities
applications and documents/movies/etc seem to be read/write ... which is what I'd expect.
could this relate to my applications...
thank you satcomer!
I googled what chmod777 does -- seems a bit scary
this would (kinda arbitrarily?) convert all the files on my SSD to read/write, yes? is that a good thing? wouldn't that get me into a mess of changing files that SHOULD be read-only? (although I see no reason why anything...
thank you misterme -- so does that mean I should erase the library/receipts on the SSD
and re-copy the folder from the old HDD?
(I get that this is not magic ;)
thank you DeltaMac!!! :)
sadly, I have already tried your first (alpha) idea. :) I re-installed OSX (you're right -- 10.9.4) yesterday after pressing cmnd+r on restart.
it didn’t delete or erase anything, which was much appreciated, but it also didn’t fix any of my problems :(...
thanks in advance for reading! I have a doozy: I moved my hdd to my optibay and installed a new SSD into my main hdd bay (mbp late 2011)
transferred data from hdd to ssd using superduper
so the ssd is now a clone of the old hdd (and in the same place as the old hdd) and the ssd is the...
arg! so frustrating!
I got an email that had 4 files in a zipped folder
as usual, macmail showed me the 4 files separate, in the body of the email window.
I tried to just get one at a time -- one PDF worked -- and the other PDF didn't!
and then when I clicked SAVE, it splashed all 4 separate...
but wait, if someone sends me attachments, i should be able to get them.
it shouldn't matter what their process is. if they a) put multiple files into a folder and then compress THAT FOLDER
or b) if they send an email with multiple files attached (and then their email program automatically...
you're awesome! I love your curiosity!
hm: still no clue what to try tho...
I am using the same macmail as you....
hm
I'm getting a lot of attachments these days so it's pretty annoying.
I guess it must be an aol problem??
yes, I have stuffit expander 13.0.3 intel build
have had it for some time and it seems to be how the AOLmail app is expanding things? don't know why it wouldn't work with macmail
why does macmail show me the individual files instead of just showing me the zip folder file? is that because...
thanks for your reply!
yes, something is odd.
when I use AOL to download the zip file, it downloads the folder correctly, and then unzips it perfectly, and all is well. the parts are separated in the folder and load fine
I'm not sure which program AOL/my mac uses to unstuff -- but something...
hey there. I'm macbook pro 10.6.2
using macmail 4.2 1077
when I get a normal unzipped attachment, it's no problem-- downloads fine.
whenever I get a zip file attached, tho, I can see the components in the mail window, like normal. but when I download, it throws the (lets say 5) files onto my...
