The suggestion I would make is from a unix standpoint. Open terminal(in Applications/Terminal)
change to the directory containing your music folder. sudo cp - R (name of music folder) ~ sudo chmod -R 777 (name of music folder) That will give you access to the folder in your home directory on your mac book.
