what model

Check permissions and ownership with:

ls -l

You can change the permissions of the entire tree with:

sudo chmod -R 755 /media/Dati/*

sorry for the delay my internet crashed for a week .Its an ipod shuffle and for every file inside the player it goes

chmod: changing permissions of `/media/disk/song.mp3': Read-only file system

help!.please

I had a similar issue with a built-in memory card reader. Everytime I would put the memory card in and try to delete, move, or add files, it would tell me I didn't have permission. I tried changing the persion of the /media/... mount point, but to no avail.

Then I opend up Gparted (you can install it through synaptic, and there'll be a launcher in System-->Administration) and saw that the 'real' location of the device was actually /dev/... something. So I change the permission of that location and all seemed to work!

It's worth a shot.
