Problem recovering deleted files

[dustin_heller]

I may need to take ownership of a mac folder that has important files in it, but the owner has been deleted. However, the files still exist but I cannot access them. I am not quite sure how to do this.

Select the folder and get info on it (command + i). Make sure all permissions are set to Read/Write. You should be able to access the folder as long as you are an administrator on that mac.
