    Switching Users on a Mac Hard Drive Unwritable

    Posted by Arty Gold on December 12, 2006 at 4:15 pm

    Perhaps this is a simple solution…
    As we grow i have more and more editors on one machine

    i tried setting up a fast switch account so that there will be only one account to edit from.

    but when i try to go into fcp on the new account and asssign a drive it says that the hard drives are unwritable. or unable to set scratch disk.

    anyone ever have this issue ?
    we are using firmtek’s external hardrives…
    can i only use it for one account ?

    Help !!!!
    thanks

    probably related to administrator priveleges.

    You can just click on get info and ignore ownership on the volume. Everyone would have access.
