First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion.  I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

  • I'm trying to restore music to my iTunes and I get a message that I don't have permission to see the file

    I discovered that when I restored my harddrive a few weeks back, not all of my music in iTunes was restored. Now when I go back to an earlier date in my Time Capsule, I get a message that I don't have permissiom to see the files. What do I need to do to access these files?

    Pondini might have some help for you..
    I think it depends how you restored.

    I am the system administrator. How can I fix my permissions?

    Why am I constantly getting the message that I don't have enough storage space? I have upgraded to the 50GB storage plan and I am still getting the message. Help?

    That message refers to storage on your iPhone, not cloud storage. You will need to move content off your phone to make more space.

  • When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

    When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free.  Any help you could offer would be great (-:

    All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

  • Opening since update to Firefox 6, always get the message that I don't have the most recent version - have removed and reinstalled, but still persists.

    I recently updated my Firefox to version 6.0. When it re-opened after installation there was a message that I didn't have the most recent version. I ran the update set-up again but got the same message. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it from a fresh download but it's still happening.
    I've restarted the computer several times. It doesn't seem to have helped. Any ideas?

    The box that pops up says that I don't have the permission to use all the features of this program. When I click on Current User the box disappears and nothing happens...no download.

    Try this:

    The problem is that iTunes can't find the music files.  The files are not where iTunes thinks they are.  iiTunes thinks they are is: iTunes>Prefernces>Advanced.

  • I am trying to install Snow Leapord and I get a response that I do not have enough memoroy.  I recently bought a 2TB WD backup drive.  I backed up the iMac. Now how do I free up more memory?

    I am trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and I get a message that I do not have enough memory. I recently bought a 2TB WD back-up drive and backed up the entire computer.  Now how do I free up more memory to allow me to install the new software?

    First thing to try is emptying the trash to get more space.
    Go to the Finder -> File Menu -> Empty Trash.
    This will free up some space.
    Next look at your Download folder. Click on "Size" to sort by largest to smallest. This is where you have downloaded files over time and you should be able to delete a good amount of them, if you don't need them any more, to clear up space. Select the files you want to get rid of and hit "Command-Delete". This will move them to the Trash. You will then need to Empty the Trash again.
    You can also look through your documents for large files. Do the same think, click on "Size" in the finder window to sort by largest to smallest.
    Lastly, look at your applications folder. Unlike a PC, you can just Delete applications. Now certain data will still remain, but the bulky items will go away by doing the same "Command-Delete" on the applications you don't want.
    Don't forget, after you have deleted things, you need to Empty the Trash.

    If you want.
    or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
    Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard?  If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone.  It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them. 
    It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
    Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea.  See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
    I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
    If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it.  That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.

    As long as it's still available in the app store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download it, then you should be able to re-download it for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

    I just upgraded to photoshop 6 and i cannot install because i am getting a message that reads "You can’t open the application “Install Adobe Photoshop® 6.0” because it may be damaged or incomplete".
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    you probably have an incomplete/corrupt download.
    to confirm check the file size against the expected file size.
    then re-download perhaps with a different browser.
