Trouble importing in Avid
I’m working in Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro and have been using Avid Media Composer for a while. Never had any trouble importing before until one day I get the messege: No media drives available, you can only import shot logs.
I’ve been checking the forums and tried a couple thing.. First of I unticked the boxes in Media Creation as suggested here:

When that didn’t work I tried the read and write solution as suggested here:

No luck there either.. I do suspect though that it could have something to do with my Boot Camp partition. Because after I get the error messege I get the import box which has Boot Camp listed as default for video and audio drive. And I can’t manage this since it’s “unclickable”. Is there some way to set Macintosh HD as default?
Also in Import Settings under Media Creation it says “All drives filtered out” if that helps someone find a solution..
Thanks in advance for help

Get info on your boot drive and make sure you are set as the “Owner”. I don’t have access to Snow Leopard right now so I can’t give you the exact steps.
I’ve seen this resolve the issue in the past though.

I suppose this is done by getting info on the partition and changing the permissions by clicking the padlock. Problem is that I only have “read access” and there’s no padlock to be seen..
Could someone please explain how I set the ownership on the partition?
