There is a section for "Ownership & Permissions" with a subsection "Details" that you may have to expand. Here you can change the owner to your account and set access to "Read & Write" for owner and group, "Read" for others. You will probably have to click the lock icon and enter you password to make these changes. Do a "Get Info" on the folder again and click the button to apply permissions to folder contents.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I tried it and now it works.
