Can't Change Photo

While I'm here, I've got another question, too.  I have been unable to change my profile photo for almost a year now.  Whenever I try I get the following message:
Cannot create file "C:\Picture of me1.png".  A required privilege is not held by the client.
Can anyone tell me what this means, or how I might go about fixing it?  It's not a HUGE deal, I don't HAVE to have a different picture, but it would be nice to know if there's a quick fix for this issue.
Thanks so much!  
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That means your current picture folder has been set to your C:\ (root directory) and your current account does not have high enough access to write to the root directory.  It would be best to change your Skype picture folder to something else you have access to in your Skype options.  You can also try running Skype as an administrator and that might allow you to write to the root directory.

    Can't change photo event names.
    Try the fix for yourself.  It's harmless. Just follow TD's directions explicitly.

  • Can i change photos icon

    can i change the photos icon?

    Do you mean an app icon?  If you uploaded your first binary and then you made revisions to the app and changed the icon within the binary then the new icon will not change?

  • Can't Sync because can't change Photo Stream attributes

    I can't sync photos from my new iPad.
    I get "You do not have enough access priviledges to permorm this opereration.
    I tracked the error to the Photo Stream folder.
    It will not allow me to change the read-only attribute
    I get You require permission from WINCTRL-F711E89\Acer to change this folder.
    If I try to delete or change the read-only attribute in the Uploads subfolder, I get a simple Access Denied message.
    I tried searching Google for WINCTRL-F711E89\Acer with no luck.  I tried searching my computer for that file or folder and found nothing.
    I have no idea what it is.
    I did not have this problem with the slightly older iPad I just gave to my father when I bought this new one.
    I tried turning off Photo Stream on the ipad with no luck.

    I wasn't sure what is meant by "using" (e.g. green light on or HDMI function selected) but my husband turned the function to component to watch regular TV via TIVO and the ATV started syncing. Guess I now know what "using" means with my setup.
    Thank you for the reply.

  • In iphotos, can you change photos to another event?

    In iphotos, can you move photos to another event? I have a birthday party and a grandchild at the same weekend, and the photos as all mixed up.

    Hi Jane
    In my version of iPhoto (09) just open up iPhoto and select 'Photos' under LIBRARY on the left hand side. Get the two events in view, reduce the photo size to the minimum if needed. Just drag the photo from the wrong event to the correct one

  • Photoshop Album 2.0 - Can I change Photo shooting dates

    My friend gave me Photoshop Album 2.0 to help her keep track of her pictures.  Problem is, she didnt set her camera to the right date, so some of the pictures have a "shoot" date that is not correct.  For example, the camera may have imprinted June 1, but we know because of the content of the picture that it actually was August 21.  So, can I manually correct these dates for her?
    Thanks for any help you can give me?
    I know that I can get the new trial version, but she uses the calendar version that is on the old 2.0 and wants to stick with it.

    You can use PhotoInfo to change the dates on a single or batch of photos. You can even do it within iPhoto by selecting PhotoInfo as the editor to use when you double click on a photo. But iPhoto won't recognize the changes unless it's exported and reimported. You can use PhotoInfo to batch check/change your photos before importing into iPhoto.
    What I've done is to export the full sized images to a folder on the desktop, named the folder the same as the roll they were in, run Photoinfo on the batch and then drag the folder into the open iPhoto. Then delete the original roll. Works fine.

  • Can I Change Photo/File Date In Photoshop Elements 2?

    Whenever I change the batteries in my digital camera I have to reset the time and date.
    Often I don't have time (or just forget) with the result that all the pictures have incorrect times and dates on them.
    This is NOT destroying my life but it is irritating and inconvenient.
    Is there a way of altering the "Date Created" without altering the photo by copying it etc. (which alters its file size)?
    For that matter is it possible to alter the "Date Created" on any computer file?
    I'm sure a hacker could delve deep into the heart of the Mac and do it but I am looking for something quick and simple.
    Ian.

  • Can't change photo syncing options

    I've recently set up a new computer and managed to sync my iPhone to it without any issues. However, I haven't been able to sync any photos yet because it won't let me select any folders to sync from only those. When I try to select the "Sync Photos From:" checkbox it attempts to sync all 3,000 of my pictures, which I don't want to do. Any suggestions??

    Immediately below *Sync Photos From* are two "radio buttons". You presumably have the *All photos* button selected at the moment. Instead, choose the one below that, the *Selected Folders* button (which probably currently says *0 photos.)*
    I assume your current option *Sync Photos From: My Pictures* (or whatever the Vista default folder is called)?
    Once you select the *Selected folders* button, every sub folder in *My Pictures* (the list below the *Selected folders* button) will have a check box beside it. You can check "on" only the folders you want, then press the Sync button to actually cause the change to happen.

  • Can't change photo location

    Hi, looking for pointers from anybody please!
    I have a library of 7,000-odd photo's , and I'm working through it refininf the location details of each photo. Recently upgraded to iPhoto 11, and I can't seem to amend the location of a photo... I highlight the pic, press the info button, then drag the red pin to the exact location... but this new location is not stored! When I return to the pic it shows the old location... Even if I type in a place, it doesn't save the new detail (and you can only get vaguley accurate with road names/places).
    Also, the map is now tiny, and pretty useless.
    Surely  I must be doing something wrong? Surely iPhoto 11 allows users to amend their location data?
    Thanks in advance...
    Andy

    Update: Still can't get it working, I move a pin, and next time I go to that photo it's returned to the original place. Places function is basically worthless.
    Another glitch I noticed:
    - iphoto adds names from your address book to faces - great.
    - If the contact it's adding from your addressbook has changed their email address, the OLD email address shows up!!!!
    - e.g. I added "Tommy McTomson" to a photo months ago; I then changed Tommy's email address from yahoo.com email to say hotmail.com
    - Any future pictures of Tommy I add show his OLD yahoo email address under his name in "Faces". Whci isn't really a hassle cos I don't see how you can use the email address from that biut of the sscreen in iphoto, but come on dudes, it's really slack................
    Also, you can't see an iphone when it's connected when in iphoto 11 full screen mode. But I'll check this & clarify later (not on mac at the moment).
    Really not impressed with iPhoto '11, especially after reading all the negative stuff on forums across the net.

  • Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

    Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto.   I get the following error message:  
    Some import operations were not performed.
    The following files were not imported because they could not be read  [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
    Thumbnails show up.  LR just will not import them.
    Any idea what is going wrong?

    If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
    So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
    Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
    Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
    Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
    Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name

  • How can I change the order of photos in my fotostreams?

    When selecting photos for a fotostream to share with friends the exported files appear in the order they were taken. If I add more pictures later, they are added at the end of the stream as if they were ne lastest taken pics.
    How can I change that?
    Exporting all of them and then creating a new stream brings back the real order, but destroys all comments.

    Aperature is the same with PS - PS is PS
    Lightroom - has nothing to do with sharing photos in any way - it is a photo manager with no connection to any other Apple products
    FLickr and integrated into iPhoto and are easy ways to share photos - SmugMug also is popular
    Google will bring you others

  • How can I unlock numerous files at the same time (i.e. photos) so I can make changes (rotate etc)?

    Im using Lion on a MacBook Pro 15in (just under two years old) and I would like to know if I can lock numerous photo files at the same time so I can make changes to them. At the moment when I select an entire folder to go through and make changes, ie rotate in Preview, I am told with each photo that I have to unlock it. I am going through photos I took of archival material and have nearly 5000 photos to adjust and make changes to. This small step is taking up a lot of time.
    I realise there will probably be a common 'sense' answer to this but it alludes me at the moment so any help would be appreciated.
