So I'm still fairly new to Macs. I use PCs at work all day so when I come home, I use my macs for basic stuff (internet & iTunes). So when it comes to a file access problem across my macs, I don't know where to start.
Here's my problem:
Any files or folders I create on my MacBook, cannot be modified on my Power Mac. Even if the file lives on the Power Mac hard drive, and I created the file on my MacBook, I can only read the file, not write to it. If I create a folder on the Power Mac hard drive from my MacBook, that folder shows a little red cross on it in finder and I can't open the folder on the Power Mac. I can access it fine from the MacBook.
Same thing goes for files. I ripped a DVD of mine on my MacBook, then copied it to the Power Mac hard drive and I can't play it in iTunes from my Power Mac. I tried to modify the file's "Sharing & Permissions" from the MacBook to allow "everybody" Read & Write access, but then the file set "No Access" to everyone and now I can't change it back.
I'm logged in as an administrator. I created an admin account for the Power Mac on the MacBook. But that didn't change anything. I created an admin account on the MacBook on the Power Mac, but still no change.
Hopefully, there's is some common problem that I just need to change to fix this issue. It's beginning to get annoying. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
