  • "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you may not have appropriate permission to access the item" Why?

    Whenever i try to access any folder on my computer(Windows 7), it tells me "Windows
    cannot access the specified device, path, or file, you may not have appropriate permission to access the item",
    this happens even for My
    Computer and Control Panel. It's driving me nuts! I'll be honest here, I was trying to uninstall Visual
    Studio 2013 Communityfrom my computer by going to Programs
    and Features but for some reason, it was getting stuck at "Configuring
    Your System". After trying it numerous times, I went to the visual studio installation directory, and removed
    the installation files from there. I even removed the files from the C:\Program
    Data folder, then i went back to Programs
    and Features and tried to remove the listing there, but I got a dialog box saying "you
    don't have sufficient access to uninstall visual studio" . I googled this problem and found this  solution
    (http://superuser.com/a/174198)
     then i tried using the solution, I used SubinAcl and
    changed the registry permissions as mentioned in the solution and ended up like this!
    All the access permissions are set correctly (that's what I can make out...)
    Please Help!

    Hi
    Some required information are needed for us to help you.
    Hi NabeelOmer,
    We wonder if you have taken any action such as system restore after this issue occurred.
    You might also try this command to restore your access control list.
    Run this command to navigate to the drive letter, example is D
    D:
    To reset all permissions, run this command
    icacls * /reset /t /c /q
    Visual Studio is a very invasive program and which provides the ability to enumerate projects and solutions for system, user should never try uninstalling it manually without any guidance.
    Visual Studio made changes for your whole system, if the file has been moved or deleted this error would occur.
    Since you mentioned that you get this error almost everywhere even in control panel. We suggest you repair/reinstall your Visual Studio first and check if it could be fixed.

  • "Windows cannot access the specified device,path, or file.You may not have the appropiate permission

    We subscribe to a service called "Vault" which provies its documents in encrypted PDFs using the etd format. As well as Digitial Editions we have Acrobat Reader 9 installed on our PCs (Windows XP,SP2). When a user tries to download any of the documents they are seeing the following error:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device,path, or file.You may not have the appropiate permissions to access the item."
    However, if they open Digitial Edtions (or have had it open at some point in the past) before they download the document it opens without any problems. We use ZEN works to manage our PCs, and we use something called Dynamic Local User (DLU) which means that when a students logs into a PC the user's local Windows account is created on the fly, and then when they log out it is then deleted. This means that they are effectively using Digitial Edtions for the first time everytime they log into a PC.
    As anyone else seen the above error? Also, is there a way of stopping it? What does Digital Editions do the first time it is opened? Are there registry keys that we can add, which emulates the opening of Digital Editions so it doesn't have to be opened first before we can download the Vault documents?
    Any advice/tips would be most welcome.

  • When i try to open firefox it tells me windows cannot access the specified device, path or file, you may not have the apperioate permission to open the item. I have tried to uninstall and re install and it still will not open.

    this happened when i downloaded the latest patch and i have not been able to access it since.

    I would expect wording related to connection, but see
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

  • Firefox updated to 6.0.1 and now I cannot open it, or even reload it, without the message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file, You may not have the approprate permission to access the item."

    This is a new problem... I've never had issues with Firefox before. I use firefox for everything at work and it is beyond inconvienent to not be able to access my websites, etc.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.<br />
    Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • When trying to back up my iPhone 4 I get this error message "ITunes cannot backup the iPhone because the backup is corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone." How can I fix this?

    This has been happening to me for months now and it's started to annoy me. I have Windows 7 installed and have seriously tried everything to fix this, deleting old back ups, cheacking my firewall, unintalling and reinstalling itunes, deleting pictures that may be corrupt. I just plugged my phone into a USB connected to my sisters MacBook and it backed up perfectly! Is this something wrong with my computer?

    Even if deleted all the backups shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices, check the actual backup folder on your computer to be sure there isn't one still there that needs to be deleted.  You will find them at one of the following locations:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista/7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

  • "windows cannot access specified device, path or file", adobe reader x

    hi,
    i had an older version of reader (9.something i think) that started making troubles, so i removed it (via control panel) and tried to use reader x instead. but after installing it i tried to run it and got this message titled "c:\programfiles\adobe\reader10.0\eula.exe":
    "windows cannot access specified device, path or file. you may not have the appropriate permitions to access the item".
    after clicking "ok" the program shuts.
    i downloaded this version from adobe's site and registered. i also tried to go back to version 9 but the installation itself wouldn't go.
    i'm using windows xp and downloaded reader using chrome. i deleted all previous adobe reader files from my computer prior to downloading, so it should behave as if this the first time this program was installed on it.
    how can i solve it? (i've already tried going through the whole process again and again)
    thank you for any help.

    I have found out how to solve this issue..
    Took A few days to figure it out and a lot of installs and un-installing
    Install CS6 master collection again and restart your machine- Make sure all anti-virus is disabled
    What you have to do:
    1. Press Start
    2. go under "Abode Master Collection CS6 (it should say its empty)
    3. now left click the folder "Adobe Master Collection" and open it..
    4. it will now come up with all programmes that SHOULD have worked - their thumbnails will not be visible it will look as if its corrupted.
    5. Now this is a long procedure- go on the first shortcut, lefts click and go to properties.
    6. Then select the option that says "Open File Location" it will then take you to its main folder.
    7. Left click the highlighted Programme within the main folder, then go on properties
    8. Go on the security Tab, press "continue" then you go on "Add" then type your account name, then "check name" then tick the box "full control"
    9. Then navigate to the "compatibility" Tab and select "Run this programme as an administrator (if you don't do this it will come up with another error)
    You should now have the thumbnail (picture) for the programme now
    You have to now repeat this for the rest of the programmes/shortcut's within the "Adobe Master Collection" Folder

  • When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I get a different error message if I try to uninstall it.

    When I try to open iTunes, I get this error message: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." I've been able to uninstall all Apple products except iTunes as I get this error message: "The Installer has insufficent privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files\i Tunes\Acknowledgments.rtf." I've had the iTunes on my laptop for a year and a half with no problems until now.

    Any suggestions please?

  • Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hi, i'm a Windows 7 user of HP Pavilion dm4.
    It has been weeks since iTunes works properly on my computer. I'm here to seek help from professionals or people who had encountered it before. Whenever I double-click on iTunes, it prompt me a message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." But another thing is, i'm the only adminstrator on this laptop. If I don't have permission, who has? Sigh.
    I had tried uninstalling and installing iTunes from official website many times but to no avail.

    Hi,
    Also, please make sure your current user is a administrator account and have permission to open the file.
    Right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties.
    Click the Security tab.
    Under Group or User names, click your name to see the permissions you have.
    Have you installed 3rd software in you computer? please turn off them temporarily to check if this issue still occurs.
    Here is an article you can refer to.

    i'm trying to open samsung pc studio and it givesme an error message and windows then tells me my flash player is incompatible with my system...this after i've downloaded the flash player im told is compatible with my system

    In general, when desktop software is using Flash Player, it's because they're embedding an Internet Explorer window in the application.  If you don't have Flash Player for Internet Explorer (aka. the ActiveX Flash Player) installed, then the desktop application isn't going to work. 
    So, fire up Internet Explorer
    Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts, and then re-launch the application after you've completed the installation in IE.  Hopefully that sorts it out for you.

    Please!
    Thanks!

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • When I tried to open a fresh iTunes download my computer gave the error message : 'program cannot run in DOS mode'. Since both items are Apple, why might this be happening?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
