Solution
To get to Disk Utilities you will need to open Launchpad and you can open Disk Utilities from there. I'm not in front of a Mac right now so I will have to get back to you on the specifics of what to do next. I have verified and repaired permissions without any data loss in the past.

right click on the drive in Finder and get info. Make sure you have:

1. Enough available space to accept the files you're transferring.

2. Under Sharing & Permissions make sure you have Privilege set to Read & Write and not Read Only. That can prevent a transfer.
