imacken Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Every time I try to edit a info.plist file using Terminal and sudo nano command, I get a message asking for my password. Is this my user password? I assume it is and I don't have one set, so I just hit enter and nothing happens. If I try to edit and save the same file in textedit, I get a message about not having permission to do that. I have changed the file permissions so that everyone can read/write. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/174342-cant-edit-infoplist-file/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. open your .plist file with textedit, then save it on desktop. after, copy it at the right place! it work for me.
