I am trying to back up my new iPhone after downloading/updating iTunes with iCloud. I get this message: The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permiss
how do I find the file and replace it or install it?

I'll reload it tonight when I get home...basically, I bought a new iPhone and downloaded some new medical apps. also had to download an update for iTunes into my mac laptop so I could access iCloud (which was NOT on my prior iTunes software)
When I synched my new iPhone with the newly downloaded iTunes, I registered my iphone and tried to "back it up" to iCloud and the message indicating that "the required file was not found or has a permissions error...." popped up.
How do I correct the permissions error, or...am I able to do this somewhere? Or...how do I find the file that is missing?

    "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed."
    Not sure how we can correct his permissions problem, and whether authorising or deautorizing makes any difference, with more and more errors keep popping up, this got to be such after an update of the OS, can remember which!?
    HELP!!!

    follow this:
    Launch iTunes
    select iTunes Store from the menu on the left side.
    sign in via the link on the top right area if you haven't done so already
    click the link where you Apple ID email appears, enter your Apple ID password, click View Account, this will take you to a page displaying detailed information about your Apple ID account.
    The last item under Apple ID summary should be Computer Authorisations, click Deauthorize All
    now reauthorize any computers as needed when the system prompts you.
    good luck.

  • Getting authorization error message: Required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.

    I have recently purchased this MacBook used and am trying to authorize it on the iTunes Store but even after uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it with a fresh copy I'm getting this error message: "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed."  And I have no idea of where or how to fix this issue.  Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  I even tried to deauthorize this computer and got the same error message.  HELP!

    I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question.  I followed the instructions in this article:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one.   I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable.  So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal.  Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal).  I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.)  And it fixed the problem right away.
    What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do.  It didn't mention Terminal.  What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

    I don't understand what to do. The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.

    Can you explain a bit more about what you are trying to do or what you were trying to open? You need to add a lot more details.
    Thanks

    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    Mac OS X
    Log in to your computer using an administrator account.
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type: "/Users" (without quotes) and click Go.
    If the Shared folder exists
    Open Terminal (found in /Applications/Utilities).Warning: This step involves modifying permission settings by entering commands in the Terminal application. Users unfamiliar with Terminal and UNIX-like environments should proceed with caution. The entry of incorrect commands may result in data loss or unusable system software. Improper alteration of permissions can result in reduced system security or exposure of private data. This option requires a non-blank admin password.
    Depending on which version of Mac OS X you have, this step will vary:
    On Mac OS X v10.5.8 and earlier, type:sudo chmod -R 777 /Users/Shared
    On Mac OS X v10.6 or later, type:sudo chmod -R 1777 /Users/Shared
    Press Return.
    Quit Terminal.
    If the Shared folder does not exist
    The following steps will recreate the Shared folder if it is missing and ensure that it has been assigned using the correct permissions.
    Open Terminal (found in /Applications/Utilities).Warning: This step involves modifying permission settings by entering commands in the Terminal application. Users unfamiliar with Terminal and UNIX-like environments should proceed with caution. The entry of incorrect commands may result in data loss or unusable system software. Improper alteration of permissions can result in reduced system security or exposure of private data. This option requires a non-blank admin password.
    Type or copy and paste the following command into the Terminal window:sudo mkdir -p /Users/Shared/
    Press Return.
    Enter your administrator account password when prompted, then press Return.
    Depending on which version of Mac OS X you have, this step will vary:
    On Mac OS X v10.5.8 and earlier, type:sudo chmod 777 /Users/Shared
    On Mac OS X v10.6 or later, type:sudo chmod 1777 /Users/Shared
    Press Return.

  • HT1727 How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing?  My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

    How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing?  My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

    OK, I just got off of the phone with Apple and still no joy. They had me try a few things that did not work, then told me to Archive and Install, which did not either. Anyway, thanks for the additional help very note worthy, but still no joy. Also an email to iTunes Support took me here
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93061
    I have a Users/Shared folder but since the files we are talking about are invisible, I can see how it is structured.
    And by the way I tried this one
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3577004#3577004
    and it did not work. However, when I install a fresh copy of Tiger on the external it did authorize the computer and was able to play the downloads. But coping the invisible file to my boot drive was not successful. But , like I said the music did play when I started up from the external. So I guess that may be my only solution, unless someone can tell what the correct directory is and where it for iTunes downloads.

  • There was an error storing your authorization information on this computer.The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.

    It prevents me to sync my iPhone, how can I fix that?

    De-authorize - repair permissions with Disk Utility - reboot you Mac - authorize your Mac.
    See if that helps.

  • Could not complete this operation the. File was not found.

    I am running Illustrator CS6 on a Mac version 10.9.1. My problem is that when I try to "Save for Web" I get an error message of:
    "Could not complete this operation the. File was not found."
    What is it even talking about?!? It can save it normally, but not as a .jpg, .png, etc.
    I just restarted the program (but this isn't the first time I received this error). Now it says something new:
    Some names of the files being saved contain non-Latic characters. These file names will be incompatible with some Web browsers and servers.
    I simply named the file "6.png"
    That time it did allow me to save though. What is going on!??
