I had a huge system issue with my iMac requirng a re installof my OS… Now my Passort is denying me access because Ihave “insufficient priviliges”
Ive tried chmod 775 “/Volumes/volumename/” and also
sudo chown root:admin /Volumes/“volume name”
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted.
killall Finder
Press RETURN.
but no joy…
any ideas here?
I note that in “get info” one of the users is system… I ve never seenthat before
reading another thread…maybe her eis a clue… I updated the software and firmware before this problem became evident
It has been suggested that installing the previous firmware might reset the drive to allow access… question is…“where do I get it from?” emailed WD for an answer
