Q: external hd used for storage (not for TimeMachine) worked in 10.6 but now acts locked--files cannot be moved, new files cannot be added from desktop
Can an external hard drive be used for storage of files (not for Time Machine backup) in Yosemite 10.10.1? The external hd worked like a flash drive in 10.6 but now acts locked--files cannot be moved, new files cannot be added from desktop.
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
