Q: external hard drive denying access permissions..
I recently purchased an external drive (G-Drive) for my secondary back ups.
Now I get an error message (occasionally) stating that I have no permission to it's contents and I can't eject the hard drive from my desktop.
And when I get access to copy contents to the hard drive it just shows that it's preparing to copy without transferring any contents..
I open the "Get Info" tab and it has my user account to read/write the hard drive's contents.
I should have access to hard drive to do the above actions but somehow it's not allowing me.
I have another external hard drive and it completes all it's activities.
I'm running Yosemite 10.10.5
I'm miffed on this one... ~A~

Check your permissions or Run Disk Utility > First Aid on the entire drive (upper icon).
Also Get Info (command + i) on the Volume and check that "Ignore Ownership on this volume, is not check marked.
