[LUG] File Ownership Problems

 

Hi

I have a backup from a Mac drive with files I need to move to a Linux distro. When I mount the drive it allows me to see the folders and files but if I try any changes or opening the folders I need to open it doesn't let me. It says you do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "Movies". The file is owned by user #502. I have tried using sudo chmod -R ugo+rw '/media/richard/Macintosh HD/Users/richardbrown/Movies' but it returns chmod: changing permissions of â/media/richard/Macintosh HD/Users/richardbrown/Movies/Horse.movâ: Read-only file system

Any thoughts on where to go next please?
