how can I edit the status of mutiple items in Finder?

In Finder sometimes I get "locked files"from my camera.

Is there a way to "unlock" them al together?

Doing one buy one is a lot of work...

I am using High Sierra.

You should be able to select all of the locked files. Then press option+cmd+i to open a single Get Info panel for all affected files, and then deselect locked (Beveiligd).

Yeah you are right, you may want to simply pick up the phone and call AppleCare and see they have something you haven't thought of. AppleCare Contact Info. I'm in the USA, in that area they are open M-F.

Sure, they would need to be in a single folder then type Command + A (select all) and then type Command + I and change your settings for all the files there.
