MacOS – Can’t move files to a folder in Finder

filesystemfilevaultfindermacos

Did clean install of Yosemite. In Finder I can't move files to a folder. I must authenticate almost all move operations. After entering password the file is not moved, but copied instead. Apple is not much help. I have been told I have created an encrypted volume and have to bring in computer. I don't buy it. Another consultant said I need to turn off FileVault and unencrypt volume, but FileVault is already off. Anybody familiar with this problem?

Created a new administrative user (Fairy Princess), as suggested. It has the same problem.

Best Answer

Much ado about nothing. Here is the solution. Open Info box for the Partition. Go down to Sharing and Permissions. Unlock with password. Add entry for the administrative account you are in - uh oh - it is set to read only. Change to read and write. Problem solved. Everyone I talked to, including Apple, who wanted me to bring the computer in to the store, led me to believe this was some weird problem due to installation, so I never bothered to check for the OBVIOUS. enter image description here
