Mac Forum / General / General / May 2007Ext HD can no longer do a "Move' instruction.
It will not move anything, anywhere - to a folder, to trash, to another HD, etc. I can Copy a Word and TextEdit file and can then cmd-V into another HD. I can also move any file from another HD or the Internet into this HD. I can copy (cmd D) any file within the HD. I've used DiskUtility and Verified Disk w/o errors. I ran Disk Warrior with no errors. I'm stumped.  Signaturedowop > It will not move anything, anywhere - to a folder, to trash, to another > HD, etc. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > I'm stumped. Another test. I shut down the computer. Restarted with the Shift key down. Logged on as me. I tried the move on the ext HD, and it worked! I restarted normally, and it still works. Any ideas of what could have possibly caused this?

Did the cursor change to a white circle with a slash when you tried to move files? There is a Finder bug triggered by recent items having long volume names. Deleting "com.apple.recentitems.plist" from "Preferences" in your "Library" folder then relaunching Finder should fix it. > It will not move anything, anywhere - to a folder, to trash, to another > HD, etc. Have you checked that you have the correct permissions on the drive? If worst comes to worst, click once on the icon of the drive, use the File->Get Info command, and check the "Ignore permissions on this volume" checkbox.
