Hi I tried to go through the steps outlined in previous help. My permissions are set to read&write. I only have the issue with adding a 'tag' on some of my files, not all? I also will get an error saying I don't have permissions. Not sure what I when I configured my computer upon purchase but something not right?
Thanks,
Karen
That sometimes happens with files copied from other user accounts, network shares, Windows etc. I have fixed it by Finder > Get Info for that folder and setting the permissions (like they are in a brand-new folder on the Desktop, for example) and selecting the pop-up "Apply to enclosed items...".

Does your signed-in account have administrative privileges?
Some Finder operations require you to be the file owner (this is not the same as having read/write access via an ACL). An admin account can change the owner using the Get Info pulldown menu (see below). Note you can't change the ownership of certain System (root) files.
