Hello.
I have a Macbook with OS 10.5 . I Have an external drive that holds all my music over 47,000 songs. And I just recently had to put them all back into my library because I needed to clean up my Itunes (Duplicates started to form and things had got deleted) So I erased the library and then I imported from my external hard drive. well not I can modify the info of my library because the files are locked. And I cant go through and select each file individually. And there are 1000s of folders in there to go through. I was wondering if there was any way I could just unlock everything on the hard drive.

Thanks for the help
Tim.

Yep, the terminal comes in handy sometimes. Open it (/Applications/Utilities), and run the following command:

Enter your password, and it will remove the lock flag on any file inside your Music directory.

Thanks, But I need to do it on the external which is labeled my book. How to I specify where it needs to do it . (what the correct syntax for that.)
The Locations for the files are.
/Volumes/My Book/Music
When i type that in to terminal it dosent do anything.

Thanks again

Okay, that's relatively simple - if there are spaces in a filename, you need to use quotes:
I don't know how familiar you are with the terminal, but you do have to hit "enter" to execute commands.

ya I was hitting enter lol it was saying that there was no such directory. I was taught on DOS and im trying to learn terminal but it's a lil different with certain things. Thanks again you saved me hours and hours of time.

Thanks
Tim
