I am trying to import pictures form my external hard drive. After choosing the pics to import i click on the “import checked” button. I get the error “destination folder is read only” I also tried it from my card reader and get the same error message. How do i fix this problem.

There’s a couple of possibilities…

In the Import panel, what is specified in the “Store Files:” field? It could be the specified location is read-only. Permissions sometimes change for unknown reasons. Finder’s “Get Info” will give you a clue as to what’s going on if that’s the case.

What’s specified in the “Backup To:” field? Same scenario as above.
