Are you a guest or admin on your computer. You'll need admin access to change permissions

You're going to have to change permissions by Terminal.

Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Setting permissions for disks, folders, and files

yes, yes 10.4 but nothing has changed. This guide will still work

**Stray** · 03-26-2011, 02:06 PM

This should work for 10.6.7 right?

**Broomhead** · 03-26-2011, 02:39 PM

Yes, look here Mac OS X 10.6 Help: Setting permissions

**Orby** · 03-26-2011, 02:41 PM

Run this in Terminal:

$ sudo -s
# chmod a+wx (/full/path/to/file)
# rm -rf (/full/path/to/file)

And that'll solve your file problem. Be careful with what you're deleting though, with that shell you will have the full keys to the kingdom and can delete some really important, non-replaceable **** without being asked to confirm.

Please elaborate. Did it just not delete?

You can also try chmod 0777 -v -R (/full/path/to/file) instead of the a+wx.

**Stray** · 03-26-2011, 02:55 PM

I don't even know if I'm doing it right here is what came up

Last login: Sat Mar 26 15:43:52 on ttys000
STRAYunINFIDELs-MacBook-Pro-15:~ useruser$ chmod 0777 -v -R (/full/path/to/file)-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

lol orby
I think he should start here http://homepage.mac.com/rgriff/files/TerminalBasics.pdf

**Stray** · 03-26-2011, 02:57 PM

I'll try that lol. I know only a little bit about terminal

**Orby** · 03-26-2011, 03:03 PM

...

Oh you silly.

Replace (full/path/to/file) with where the file is located in your UNIX file hierarchy.

So if you're looking to delete "dirtypr0nz.m4a" on your Desktop, the commands would go:

chmod 0777 -v -R ~/Desktop/dirtypr0nz.m4a
OR
chmod 0777 -v -R /Users/Stray (or whatever your username is)/Desktop/dirtypr0nz.m4a
