Hi,
I’m using the A119 dash cam and have transferred a number of videos that were in the saved folder on the cam onto my hard drive. Now I wish to delete most of them but my permissions were not allowing me. Believing this to be an Apple problem due to my installation of an SSD and my son’s new account on the Mac, I googled fixes unsuccessfully, then I contacted Apple via chat and then they rang me to sort the complex problem out. The engineer on the phone noticed on my screen that most of the videos in Finder have a tiny padlock logo on them, so he got me to Google about that. It appears to be only the Viofo recordings (most of them - some don’t have the padlock).
The workaround was to select a recording and option-select File, then ‘Delete Immediately’ instead of ‘Move to Trash’. When I did this for one of them, it deleted. Problem solved!
Next day I went to continue the deletions, but I got this message; "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."
What is going on with them?
