I can no longer share because I do not have iCloud Drive or Yosemite????

I do not use iOS, I use Android, though I am a Mac and iCloud user. I have several Numbers spreadsheets that I share with other people that without warning no longer share!!!! I am told I need to upgrade to iCloud Drive on my iOS device, which I do not have one. I am told I need to upgrade to Yosemite to continue sharing my files and unless I am mistaken, Yosemite is not available!!!!!! And, I can no longer log into iCloud to even see my files because I have not upgrade to iCloud drive on my non-existant iOS device or through Yosemite which is not available!!!
Am I missing something here????

You (Windows user) may be in luck if you want to switch to iCloud Drive.
According to the specs, it is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8. I don't know about sharing, though.
See the Ars Technica article.

When I try to update Firefox I get a window saying it can't be loaded because I do not have all the necessary permissions. What does this mean and what do I do?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Can't Empty trash because I "do not have sufficient privileges"

I accidentally downloaded a file: masterstarfieldissuing.crl from a internet security site. I put it in the trash which was empty apart from that file. Whenever I try to empty the trash I get the following message: "The operation cannot be continued because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items" Then whether I press continue or stop the trash does not empty.
I checked the permissions and make them all Read & Write but that did not make a difference. The file does not appear to be locked. It does not empty whether I give the command to empty by going to Finder/Empty Trash or by clicking on the Empty Trash command in the pop up menu that appears above the Trash icon in the Dock. If anyone has any suggestions about how I can get rid of this file let me know.
Thanks,
erpilgrim

Thanks again. I had tried that before, but it did not work. But now, after I rebooted my computer and the trash is working normally again (before I rebooted I realized that Trash was not able to delete any of the normal types of files I usually delete), DropNuke seems to act properly, at least with normal files. Thanks.

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

I recently uploaded 10.8, but I have a number of VALUABLE old files which I can no longer read because "power PC applications are no longer supported. How can I retrieve them?

Here is a post I assembled for another with a similar problem:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade to an Intel compatible versions of your software, or find alternatives that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

180 GB of my 639-GB Macintosh hard drive is used. 320 GB of my 498-GB Tie Capsule is used. Only one backup ("now") exists for the Time Capsule, which can no longer backup because of "insufficient space". How come? What is wrong?"

Thank you William for your most helpful response. I shall deal first with your three comments:
Not being tech savvy, I would not have been able to make that call myself but it sure makes sense.
I have updated my profiles as you suggest. Excellent tip.
This guidance is good. Being new to Apple Support Communities, I did not find the field a labeling and guidance to be clear, a point you make. Now I know, I shall do as you say and will use the small slim box as a header to the full message/question, which will place in the larger box below.
Secondly, I come to your question: Did anything change on your Mac recently, such as replacing the disk or main logic board?
The answer is “yes”. Two events have happened both of which concerned the Time Capsule:
The telephone company, with which I have access to the Internet and I have my email account, installed a new modum. After the technician left I had to try and get the Time Capsule and WiFi working again which ended with my having to call Apple for technical assistance. The Apple technician walked me through a number of procedural steps which effectively re-set up the Time Capsule.
Access to the Internet failed and the telephone company reset the modum. I had to call Apple again. This time the technician did not reset the Time Capsule but walked me through a number of steps tha included renaming the “site” (not the Time Capsule).
Another piece of information that may be relevant is that the MacBook Pro uses the Time Capsule for backup. Everything appears to be in order. When I enter the Time Capsule for this laptop I have backups going back for a long time.
Also, I do a weekly backup of the two computers onto another external hard drive using the Time Machine software. So I have another backup of both computers.

I can no longer share photos to Photo Stream on my iMac (iPhoto)

Hi!
It seems I can no longer share photos to Photo Stream on my iMac. It works just fine from my iPhone - I can see the photos appear in Photo Stream in iPhoto on my iMac, but no dice the other way around.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!

Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries

I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. What happened?

I can no longer share my songs as e-mail attachments. The only sharing options I have are for Facebook, YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes, and as Ringtone. What happened? I'm using the Garageband App 1.4(180.6) This happened once before, and by the time I'd gotten done submitting my question, the problem was fixed.

I powered my iPad off, and started it back up. Works fine now. huh.

I have installed ACDSee Pro3 and have problem to transfer photofiles from device: I got the message; The item could not be edited because you do not have sufficent access privileges or destination volume is no longer available." What can I do?

Ask the ACDSee Pro support personnel.
With iPhoto that message means the library is a referenced library (photo not copied when imported into iPhoto's structure) and the source file is not where it was when first added to the library. I don't know how ACDSee works. Does it have a referenced mode as opposed to copying photos into its structure?

Can no longer share Contacts through Entourage (OS 10.10)

After upgradiing an iMac to Yosemite, I've found that I can no longer share a Contacts vCard through Entourage. Hitting the share icon at the bottom of the entry allows me to send via e-mail, Message, AirDrop, etc., but the e-mail function no longer works. A mouse-click will open Entourage and place the cursor in the address pane of a new message window, but no vCard attaches to the e-mail. Never had this problem before. Sound familiar to anyone?

I think it's incorrect to make a blanket statement that it "will not work anymore."
Actually, Entourage worked fine with Mountain Lion and it has survived the transition to Yosemite pretty well. Every feature of the program works as intended, and Yosemite recognizes it as the default e-mail client. The problem is that Yosemite is inconsistent in how well it works with Entourage. I can mail URLs and Calendar events with one click, as before, but the "share" function misbehaves in Finder, iPhoto and Contacts. I'd prefer not to spend more money on Microsoft bloatware than I absolutely have to, which is why I'm looking for any obscure configuration setting I may have missed.

Can no longer access folders on my network. The folder can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.

Every since I nstalled maverick I have not been able to open folders through my home network. A dialoge box says
The folder can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents. I have always used an open network and never had issues. Now the strange part is I can open files if I use photoshop or illustrator to access them but I need to access all files not just select ones using a program.I have many shared folders on my network for everyone to access work files, none of them are working. I am running a dual system network with PC's and Macs.The files are, and always have been, located on an external drive attached to the primary PC as a shared drive. PLEASE HELP

The operation can't be completed because you don't have the necessary permission.

My wife and I share files on our home network all the time. the problem is when I create files on my Mac Pro or Macbook Pro (.doc, .tif, .jpg, .psd, .png, etc) and place them on her Mac Mini. she can not edit them. She gets the message: "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission."
The only way I know how to fix the problem is to delete the file from her Mac, change the permissions on my Mac (via Get Info), and then re-copy the file back to her computer. The problem is there are hundreds of files, in different folders on her Mac, so using a batch command with Get Info (Cmd, Option I) is not an option.
First of all why are all the files I create "Read only" for "staff" and "everyone" in first place?
Is the problem with my computer or with hers?
Is there a way for her to overide the permissions so I dont have to spend days or weeks going through every file I have created on my Mac?
Here is a screeen shot of one file:

She needs to connect to the file server with your name and password. Then she'll have the same access you have. I assume that's what you want.

IPod can't be synced because there's not enough free space?

One day I connected my iPod to iTunes and when I disconnected it when it said 'Ok to disconnect', when I turned on my iPod, all my songs and playlists disappeared.
In iTunes, it says that it can't be synced because there's not enough free space.
*My iPod mini has 4 GB space, and currently the songs in my iPod only take up 174.32 GB.*
Then it says in the message that 2.88 GB required and that there's only 52 MB left.
What is wrong with my iPod/iTunes? It's frustrating me so much already, you have no idea. Please, please help me, I'm already so desperate.

When you say restore it, do you mean restore the one in iTunes or restore my iPod itself? The press the circle button then press menu for a long time in my iPod? I already did that.
It says 174.32. I only have about 700 something songs because I tried deleting some to see if deleting some songs would help fix the problem but no. It's strange because before all my songs and playlists disappeared in my iPod, I even had more songs in my iPod than what I have in iTunes now.
About 15-30 minutes ago, I was able to put only about 9-10 songs in my iPod because it says it doesn't have enough free space. It's so strange, it really frustrates me.
