Sessions on an External Drive

I can't seem to be able to activate a processed folder if the session is located on an external drive, the gears are grayed out. Shooting the job on a card, downloading raws into capture folder on the external drive, and then trying to process to the processed folder on same drive. No luck. Job was too big to fit on the internal drive. Any suggestions? Thanks!

  Lynnette,
  
  This may be permissions related. Try a repair and proceed.
  
  When using an Ex HD always format to OS Extended (w Journals is OK ) and set to Ignore Permissions
  and you really should not have any problems.

  Hey..
  
  I do have a lot of ext. HDD and I'm able to process files on them.
  
  They are all formated with OS Extended, Journaled and ignore permissions

  When the drive is mounted on your desktop, highlight the drive, do a "get info" command, (apple i) and in that box, you will see where to check "ignore ownership".
  
  Also, how are you navigating to that external? If adding a session to work on, make sure to get to and double click the actual session icon. Otherwise, it may process them and dump them into the default Processed Folder (if you have a Default Session set up on your boot drive.)

  The Mac OS "Repair Permissions" function in Disk Utility only looks at system files and not external drives, unless it has a system on it and still then it only corrects files in "System" and "Library" not in user folders or non system drives. Checking the ignore permissions check box, as suggested, should do the trick.
  
  Regards

  Thanks! Repair sessions seems to have worked.
