Problem accessing pics transferred from Photos to ext HD
Hi,
I recently transferred a lot of pics from (my wife's profile) Photos on iMac to an ext HD. The transfer went fine and accessing the pics on the HD whilst logged in to my wife's profile is ok. If however I log on to my profile, I cannot access the same pics on the HD as I get a message saying that access is denied as I don't have permission to view.
This was the first time that I transferred to an ext HD from a Mac and the first time I've experienced such a problem. I have been used to Windows and have transferred pics to an ext HD many times and have been able to view them and do whatever from any other Windows machine irrespective of who is logged on at the time.
Appreciate any guidance on this matter as its doing my head in and many thanks in advance!
