Q: why do I need a password every time I save a file to my hard drive?

For some reason, every time I try to save a file to my hard drive I need to enter the computer password. What am I missing?

Hi ejaffe mac,

Welcome to the Support Communities!

It sounds like you may need to reset your permissions. Are you getting the request for a password when you save to any location on your hard drive, or when you save to specific folders?
