You get the message DISK WRITE-PROTECTED when you try to save a document on a disk.

When a disk is write-protected, it means you can't make my changes to it.

If you write-protected the disk, you can un-write-protect it by removing the write-protect tab from the write-enable notch (if it's a 5.25-inch disk) or by sliding the write-protect cover from the write-enable notch (if it's a 3.5- inch disk). If the manufacturer write-protected the disk, there was probably a good reason for it, and you should consider using a different disk.

You get the message DUPLICATE FILENAME when you try to save a document on a disk.

You tried to use a name you've already used on that disk.

If you're saving a revised version of a document and you gave it the same name intentionally, confirm that that's want you want to do. If you duplicated a document name by mistake, give the document a different name and repeat the save procedure.

Have it adjusted by your authorized Apple dealer.

You get the message DRIVE TOO SLOW.

Have it adjusted by your authorized Apple dealer.
