"could not move to library" message

Hi there,

I'm running version 3.8.10 on OS X.3. It seems that once I've downloaded a file, it can't be moved to my library. I don't think it's a firewall issue, and I haven't seen a similar thread in the OS X section. Any tips?

The two most likely possibilities are either your permissions need fixing on your shared folder or you have too many incompletes. Run Disk Utility to repair permissions, and/or clean out your incomplete folder. Both are mentioned in LW's TOTD help feature.

Cheers

hmmmm. thanks. I changed the location of my folder. I guess it didn't like having the shared folder on an external (firewire) hard drive.

Ah! Provided that the drive isn't disconnected while LW is running, that shouldn't be a problem. Was there a sleep/spin down function on the drive?
