this might sound stupid, but you could right-click and select properties. If you are root, you should be able to give yourself full-access.

Response to peterenns:

Hi,

I`m trying to copy an Info.plist file into a Volume (The Sims3 Volume) for cracking porpouse. I`ve done everythingo but everytime I get that I can`t because the Sims3 Volume is read-only. I`ve tried to chmod the Volume but i get the same results. It says I can´t because it´s read-only.

I´m doing all this using a root account

Any help would be appreciated

In order to uninstall, install a particular new program and then reinstall an old program, I need to delete my /sw directory. But, I cannot even figure out how to find a terminal window so that I can use sudo.

Can anyone tell me how to open up a terminal window so that I can use sudo?

Yeah, a prompt ending with a hash # symbol usually denotes root’s shell prompt.

I don’t think this is working for me,

my shell’s prompt ends with back-3.2#

am I in root access?
