Q: access priviledges

Tried to move an MP4 file from computer A to computer B and my stupid mac says I don't have access privildeges even though the stupid getinfo thing says Everybody has Read And Write privildeges.

Macs are useless.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Also G5 with OS 10.5.8

In the Finder do a Get Info on it & see if it's Locked or what rights it says you have on that source.

Have you tried dragging it to your Shared folder or where?

Get info says I have read and write privileges. I'm moving it from my iMac to the public folder on a G5 Mac.

I can't open the file at all on the G5 but it does open on the iMac.

This is an M4A file-- can G5s not open them? I just tried the same operation with an MP3 file and I could open it with the G5.

AHA, good work.

Requires later iTunes, Quicktime, or other SW or Audacity & some add-ons...
