Taylor / Mac OS X Help / 44 Comments Hi Dave, I am running Mac OS X 10.3.9 and recently encountered a strange occurrence. Instead of the usual tag under http://www.askdavetaylor.com/why_is_my_mac_hard_drive_suddenly_readonly/ my main hard drive(74.4 GB, 24.75 GB used) it shows (74.4 GB). After I http://www.howtogeek.com/236978/how-to-repair-disk-and-file-system-problems-on-your-mac/ used “Get Info” it says i have read-only access. Every time i want to move a file to it, it asks for my admin password. I am normally an admin user, and this has never happened before. Is this a major thing? And how can i change it back to what it was before? That’s a very strange occurrence, read only I agree with you. The good news is that one of the standard administrative applications included with Mac OS X will doubtless fix what’s happened on your disk, which is that a folder permission has somehow been messed up. The program you need is Disk Utility and you can find it in Applications –> Utilities –> Disk Utility. Then simply select the drive you want to fix: Click for full size screenshot In this only file system case, “X” is my boot drive, and “X2” is my backup drive. I clicked on the “X” drive, then on the button Repair Disk Permissions . Now the utility will go through the entire file system, making sure that the access permissions and ownership of each major directory matches the recommended configuration from Apple. It’ll take a few minutes, during which time you’ll see information like: Finally, it’ll be done and I bet your problem will be fixed! Let’s Stay In Touch!

RSS ALL ARTICLES FEATURES ONLY TRIVIA Search How-To Geek How to Repair Disk and File System Problems on Your Mac Modern versions of Mac OS X no longer need you to repair disk permissions. However, that's not the only issue that can occur with a disk or file system. Mac OS X contains a variety of tools for repairing disk, partition, and file system errors. These options work like chkdsk on Windows, checking for disk and file system errors and repairing them. You can perform a check from within Mac OS X, but it may sometimes be necessary to use recovery mode to fix problems. In a worst-case scenario, you may have to manually run fsck commands from a terminal in single-user mode. Use "First Aid" in the Disk Utility You can perform a disk health check from the Disk Utility application included with Mac OS X. Apple updated this utility's interface on Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan, so it'll look a bit different from the screenshots below if you're still using and older version of Mac OS X. To launch it, you can press Command+Space to open Spotlight search, type "Disk Utility", and press Enter. Or, you can navigate to your Applications folder, double-click the "Utilities" folder, and double-click the "Disk Utility" shortcut. In the Disk Utility application, select the disk or partition you want to check -- the system partition is named "Macintosh HD" by default -- and click the "First Aid" button. You can either run the First Aid function on an entire disk, or an individual partition on that disk. It depends which you select in the sidebar. Click "Run" and your Mac will check the disk you selected for errors. If it finds any errors, it will attempt to automatically fix them for you. You can click the "Show Details" drop-down message to view detailed information about any errors it encounters. You'll see messages like "Storage system check exit code is 0" and "File system check exit code is 0" here. An exit code of "0" is a good thing, and means no errors were found. Boot into Safe Mode RELATED ARTICLETroubleshoot Your Mac With These Hidden Startup Options One simple way to fix such errors is to boot your Mac into Safe Mode. Safe Mode, sometimes called "Safe Boot," contains an automatic startup check and repair that can fix these problems. To do this, restart your Mac and hold "Shift" while it's booting.
