Can't create a skype folder don't have enough privileges

Since I install OS X 10.6.8 I can't download big programs like Skype or Google Chrome.
I downloaded skype, it will start the installation but at the end pop out a window saying that:
"can't create a skype folder at/user/v..../Library/Application Support/Skype.
mAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH PRIVILEGES TO CREATE THAT FOLDER AND LAUNCH SKYPE AGAIN"
I checked on Admin on my account and it says that can read and write so I don't understand why is not working
Can you help me pls?
Thanks

How can I create an alias of the Home Folder (User Folder) to put on the desktop?
select that folder in finder and commandoptiondrag it to the desktop.
I've done it in the past, but I'm not able to do it now, nor am I remembering how I did it. When I highlight the Home Folder in the User's folder and try to make the alias, I'm told I don't have the privileges. Maybe I need to boot up from a different disk?
I'm setting up a new 24" iMac for a friend. She doesn't like using Finder windows. She puts everything on the desktop.
that's a bad habit. The desktop will become very corwded very quickly if you do this. I suggest she changes her computing habits.
Thanks

Error message: "The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges, or because it has no content or is corrupt."

I get the error message "The media can’t be used because you don’t have access privileges, or because it has no content or is corrupt." when I drag photos (or copy and paste photos) from iPhoto to Pages/Word.
It never used to do this and is really quite annoying, as I now have to find the file through finder to drag from there.
I had to rebuild the iPhoto library a few days ago, is it something to do with this?
Thanks in advance.

Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I am receiving the message Media can't be used because you don't have access privileges or because it has no content or is corrupt.

I am receiving the message "Media can't be used because you don't have access privileges or because it has no content or is corrupt." In the recent past, I have been able to drag photos from iPhoto into Pages or Text Edit. I can drag photos from some photo events, but not from the photos I have recently used in a DVD project. I did drag photos from Pintrest into my iPhoto to use in the DVD project, but didn't see copyright info attached to any of those. Could this be the problem?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it doesn't then you need to repair your original library by applying the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.

Media can't be used because you don't have access privileges

Why is it that I cannot drag across an image from iphotos which I have previously photo streamed across from my iphone 5? I keep getting the following message "The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges, or because it has no content or is corrupt"

What version of iPhoto? How are you moving photos? Have you read this user tip on accessing your photos?

Restore from back-up now "The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges...."

My wife bought a new MBA and restored from back-up. Now when she tries to drag a photo from iPhoto into a Pages document, she get's the error "The media can't be used because you don't have access privileges, or because it has no content or is corrupt". Interestingly, there is no problem dragging the photo into the finder.

What versoin of iPhoto and system are you running - 9.4.3 and 10.8 4? How did you restore from the backup? Are you able to view the photos when you double click on them in iPhoto? If not what do you see?
If I've guessed the versions correctly Apply the following fix to your library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Options #1 to repair permissions and #4 to rebuild the database.

HT1926 I am trying to delete an old version of itunes in my ibook G4 so I can install the newest version and can not delete the old version because it says I don't have enough privileges, help?

I am trying to delete an old version of itunes in my ibook G4 so I can install the newest version and can not delete the old version because it says I don't have enough privileges, help?

iTunes is not installing because its incompatible with your OS. When installing the correct version the new version will update the older version, there is no need to uninstall first.
The last version of iTunes compatible with OSX 10.4 is iTunes 9.2.1
You can down load iTunes 9.2.1 here:
iTunes 9.2.1

Why do I keep getting an error when I try to sync my phone with iTunes? It says I don't have enough privileges.

Why do I keep getting an error when I try to sync to iTunes? The error says "you don't have enough privileges?"

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I have 25 G.B. but I can't download it says I don't have enough room and that I have to get rid of other stuff.

I have and bought 25G.B. on my iPad but when I want to download something it says I don't have enough room what gives??

As it happens, Apple does make a device to reading SD cards on an iPad, but its use is limited to copying photos and movies from camera memory cards. It is bundled with a similarly limited USB adapter; the two together are marketed as the Camera Connection Kit.
There are also third-party devices that store music, videos, and the like loaded from a Mac or PC and provide a small wifi network to which an iPad can connect to access the contents.

HT6162 I can't upload ios7 bc I don't have enough storage space, how can I increase the storage space w/o paying more money

How can I increase my storage. I have been trying to upload the latest iOS & can't bc I don't have enough room & I really don't have a lot of apps.

You cannot increase your storage capacity at all.
You can remove content from your iphone or you can update via itunes on your computer.

Can't download movie, says I don't have enough storage.

Can't download movie, says I do not have enough storage. I just purchased 55gb's.

Do you know how many GBs or MBs it is?
But if it doesn't work, try deleting some photos or apps to free up more space. It might be bigger than you expect

HT201317 I want to change the location of my photo stream photos from the default location. How can I do that? I don't have enough room on my C drive.

I can't figure out how to change this. I have an older PC laptop that barely has enough space to operate with itunes on it. I have most everything on an external hard drive and would like to move the photo stream folder there.

Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

Can't download podcasts as I "don't have enough access privileges"

Hi,
I have recently wiped my HD and reinstalled Snow Leopard to try and get around a issue with empty pop up boxes ( see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2381725&tstart=0 ) I have not solved this problem.
I have used migration assistant to bring over my user account.
Now I can't download podcasts in itunes.
I have tried changing the permissions in my music folder and have repaired permissions. I have also checked I have a shared folder.
Still does not work.
Any other ideas.
Thanks for the help

I have tried changing the permissions in my music folder and have repaired permissions. I have also checked I have a shared folder.
What does the Shared folder have to do with this?
Is your iTunes in the /User/Shared/ or in /Users/youruser/Music/ ?

TS1702 Does any one know how to solve this iPod touch error: I am tryin to pay for an app but I can because it says that I don't have enough space when I actually have more than enough space to download it so please help me

Does anyone know how to solve this problem: I a trying to download a paid app but I cannot because the AppStore says that info not have enough space to download it even though I have more than enough space so if any of you know what can solve this problem then please let me know

The app is compressed and needs swap space to install. As a rule of thumb you need 3 times the listed size of the app available, or in your case 4.6GB. You only have 1.7GB.

The App Store says I can not buy app because I don't have enough space but my ipod setting says I do have enough space what do I do

I want to get this app SO BAD but the App Store says I do not have enough space but my settings say I do have enough space what do I do

Thanks but one last thing I have deleted EVERYTHING except for 17 photos 64 songs and an app that is 1.4 GB my iPod holds 5.0 GB and it says it is useing 3.4 GB BUT THAT IS A LIE what do I do because I can't get the app and very thing I have on the iPod touch I absolutely need
