Trying to save files to my Mac hard disk after upgrading to Monterey it is locked. I go into file info and try to change the permission settings to read and write for everyone and wheel and get the following error code:
An unexpected error occurred (error code -8076).
Any suggestions would be welcome.
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
Restart in Safe Mode Safe mode may help you resolve or isolate problems that you’re having with your Mac.
When you start up in safe mode, your Mac prevents some software, such as startup items, from loading, and it performs a check of your startup disk. Your Mac may take longer to start up because of the check.
And then test if the issue persists.
To exist Safe Mode - just restart normally.
