File is not writable

The program has detected that this file is not writable and its meta-data can thus not be changed.

Check that:

• you have access permissions for the file
• the file does not have its “lock” flag set
• the file is not on a read-only volume (a DVD, a disk image opened read-only, a network share without write access)

You can do this by following the steps below in the Finder:

• go to the Finder
• find the file that shows up as not being writable in the Finder
• select Get Info from the File menu
• in the sheet that opens:
  • check that Your User Name (Me) has Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section.
  • check that the Locked flag in the General section is not checked

To unlock many files at once, use the Change the file lock action with Lock file unticked.
