The Logic Off Topic list

I clicked on the 'get info' of the folders and then set the folder to 
'read and write' but I still can't move the files.
What do I have to change so OSX will let me move these files?

I guess the set file owner prevents you from moving the folders/ 
files. I use a utility called "Chop" where I drop such folders and  
change them all at once. Look at similar files, set the Chop  
preferences to the same settings and drag the folder over Chop. That  
usually fixes the problem. It's like executing the appropriate  
command from the terminal.

I'm late to the party, sorry... did you repair permissions, did you  
try duplicating and renaming the files and moving them that way,  
repair permissions using the hd repair/set-up utilitiy...G..
