External Hard drive is a Locked Volume
I installed my iPhoto Library on an external hard drive that came formatted with Windows NT Filesystem. I did not reformat the drive because I wanted to be able to view the contents on both Mac and Windows computers.
When connected to either of my two Macs, the Get Info, Sharing & Permissions states “You can read and write” but there is no lock symbol that would permit me to make changes.
When connected to a friend’s Mac, I am unable to open the iPhoto Library file, getting a message that it is on a locked volume. Viewing the “Sharing & Permissions” now indicates that I can only read and there is still no apparent way to change it.
Is there a way to enable the drive to permit “read and write” on Macs other than my own?
