Q: I can't give permission to read or write and i'm the administrator
Hi,
I am trying to change some of the icons on my iMac (late 2009, 27"). I opened the 'get info' window for the icon I wanted to replace. I clicked on the lock icon (bottom right) in 'sharing and permissions', so I could change my permissions from 'read only' to 'read and write'. This is when it said 'The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission.' I am currently the only one who uses this Mac and the administrator.
Does anyone know why this message is appearing? Or if I could change permissions for myself?
