The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission

Hi there,
i have troubles replacing two stock OS X images with some i downloaded. When draging both images to the folder a (Blocked) Sign appears near the cursor. I have seen that i need to open up the Information panel and change the permission of 'everyone' to 'read & write'. But then this sheet pops up:

...anybody knows how i can get those images replaced with my downloaded ones?

I have even tried replacing them with the sudo cmd in the Terminal.

Thanks 😉

Sounds like it could be System Integrity Protection? Make sure it's disabled before you mess around with system files.

To disable it, restart in recovery mode (hold ⌘+R), open Terminal, and use this command:

csrutil disable

(Be sure to re-enable it when you're done)

It is a bad idea to go monkeying around with permissions if you do not understand *NIX file systems; it is very easy to wind up with a system that will not boot.

Two thumbs up. Now, instead of monkeying around with permissions, what steps are there to take? I'm presently working on a file that tells me I don't have permissions.
