Erik M Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I am working on getting my wireless card functioning but I can't edit any .plist files or .kext files. Is there something I am missing? I am just browsing to the file, opening it in textedit, and then trying to save it with changes, but I keep ketting "couldn't save" errors about files being read only. Yes, I am completely new at this, but I couldn't find anything in the forum during my searches. Do I need to open a terminal? Do I have to boot another OS to gain write-access to these files? Thanks for your help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15009-how-to-edit-plist-or-kext-files/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquanutz Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 open up a terminal and naviaget to the directory of the kext or plist and go: sudo nano KEXTORPLISFILEHERE You'll have to put in your root password but then you can edit it with nano and you're golden. When you are done just hit ctrl-x and you'll be prompted to save or not. Good luck.
