ok, So I have a read-only DMG that I need to be able to edit the contents of.
I have duplicated this image as many ways I can think of.
I have used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a (Read-Write) sparse image of it, when I get info on the DMG it says I (my user) have read-write access. However I dont! ugh!
I tried to 'Convert' it to read-write using disk utility, no luck..
I even went to the specific folder I need write access for and tried to chmod it (777) and it comes back, 'Read-only file system'
How do I convert a Read only DMG to a Read/Write disk image?
Thanks,

The first way is to import the file from within the PeaZip software using the 'Add' button. The second way is to double-click the DMG file, but this will only work if DMG is not associated with another program. The third option is to right-click on the DMG file and open with the PeaZip archive utility. In order to convert the file from read-only to writable you must disable the lock feature, and configure the user settings to permit others to make changes to the file. Once changed, any user who has read and write privileges can edit the DMG file, as well as lock the file.
