Can't open an application, permission denied error!
I can't open a recently downloaded application. I am getting a permission denied error? I have a a mac book pro with retina running Mountain Lion 10.8.4
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
ls -@Oen /A*/BeerSmith*/*/M* | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

FTP exception: Can't open passive connection: Permission Denied
I have a File sender adapter, with FTP as transport protocol.
The adapter polls a directory each 60 seconds.
All works perfectly but <b>sometimes</b> I get the following error :
Channel CC_GBL_FlatFileSender: Error connecting to ftp server ...: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 425 Can't open passive connection: Permission denied.
And 60 seconds after, no more error.
Any idee of why I get this error occasionally ?
In the sender file adapte, data connection is set to Passive. Do I have to set it to Active ?
Thanks in advance,
LaurenceHi
Data Connection
- Active
In active mode, the server establishes a data connection from its data port, port 20, to an end point chosen by the client.
- Passive
In passive mode, the client establishes a data connection to the port required by the server.
The default setting is a passive data connection. Only change this setting if you have a specific reason. This is what is recommended by SAP.
It is possible that Passive FTP mode may terminate session.
In this mode the server "listen" on a data port (which is not its default data port) and to wait for a connection rather than initiate one upon receipt of a transfer command. The response to this command includes the host and port address this server is listening on.
In the FTP protocol two ports are normally used, 20 and 21.
Port 21 is the control channel in which requests such as PUT, GET, and PWD are sent to the server.
Port 20 is the data channel in which actual files, folders and directory
listings are sent.
Normally, when you connect to an FTP site, the site establishes the data
connection to your PC (the client) on Port 20. However, if the site allows
passive transfers, you can have your PC establish the data connection. It is
recommended that you use passive mode for most transfers.

While using terminal, any commands with sudo returns the statement seen in the heading... I have only a basic idea of whats happening, so please try and make the solutions simple.. much appreciated
Are you being prompted for a password? Are you using the same password you sign in with? Try just entering sudo with:
sudo su -
It will ask you for a password and then give you a stern warning about acting as root, where you can really mess up your computer for good if you are not careful. If it won't change to the root account you have a permission problem or a credentials problem. -
Permission denied (error 13) - trying to use goodsync to backup contents?
Hi all
I use Goodsync to sync files.
I'm trying to copy the contents of one 2TB partition (a) to an identical 2TB partition (b). (a) and (b) are both on seperate identical freecom mybook hard drives, They're both chained together with a firewire cable. (a) is attached to my macbook pro via the firewire port. (b) is connected through the chain.
This is the error I get when I try to sync: ( FYI Part 2 [MAC] is drive (a) ):
Cannot read folder /Volumes/Part 2 [MAC]/.Spotlight-V100/Store-V1/Stores/A2B518A5-EAA8-437B-AE14-720C356E3834: cannot open folder /.Spotlight-V100/Store-V1/Stores/A2B518A5-EAA8-437B-AE14-720C356E3834: Permission denied (error 13)
Cannot read folder /Volumes/Part 2 [MAC]/.Trashes: cannot open folder /.Trashes: Permission denied (error 13)
Very stumped so greatly appreciate some advice from someone who may know the resolution to this one
Many thanks to you!Contact the developer of Goodsync at http://www.goodsync.com/mac/support/

When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List. -
I just downloaded the new Mavericks operating sytem on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro, 17" 2.53GHz, Intel Core I5 machine. My IPhoto is no longer working at all, I'm getting an error message that says - "You Can't open the application "IPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac". I also loaded Mavericks onto my other MacBook Pro 17", mid 2009 model and everything works fine. I would think that the newer Mac would easily work with IPhoto. Also, when I try to download from the App Store, it asks for my Apple ID and Password, I enter it, and then the little spinning color wheel just spins forever, with nothing ever happening. I tried downloading the IPhoto Upgrade but it never actually downloads, HELP!!!
What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time. I receive the following error message:
You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete. So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it. Now I reinstall it and the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7. SMH....Now what.?Hello, terrygav.
I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

I have a typing software that I bought a while ago. I had installed it on an old pc but I just bought a macbook and I'd like to install it onto the new macbook, as I no longer use the old pc. When I open the installer, I get the error message: " You can't open the application "%@" because it may be damage or incomplete"
Does anybody know if this is fixable or if I need to just buy a new disk?
Thanks!!!I copy pasted this from the developers website for the minimum requirements of your device: Macintosh® OS X 10.4 – 10.5, PowerPC G4, G5 or Intel Core Duo processor, 800 MHz processor or higher, 256 MB RAM, CD/DVD-ROM drive, 300 MB free hard disk space, Video card with 32 MB of video RAM, 1024 x 768 24-bit color display, Speakers, keyboard & mouse.
Does a macbook pro meet these requirements? -

I tried accessing imovie after not using it for a long time and got an error message "You can't open the application iMovie because it is damaged or incomplete. I'm not sure how to go about addressing it. Your suggestions would be very much apprecaited.
Judging by your OSX, I presume that your iMac would have come with 2 installation discs.
iMovie and all the iLife software will be on disc 2.
Run the disc and re-install iMovie.
After that, do a software update.,

after migration to a new macbook i cannot open photoshop. I get error message "you can't open this application "adobe photoshop cs" because powerpc applications are no longer supported"
You cannot run Photoshop CS on a new Intel-based Mac running OS X Mavericks. CS is far too old.
You'll have to buy Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Elements 12. Or subscribe to CC. -
Error: "You can't open the application....because it may be damaged or incomplete"
I just wiped a Macbook Pro and freshly installed OS 10.6.3.
I installed CS4 and when you try to open InDesign or Illustrator you get the error message:
"You can't open the application (InDesign or Illustrator) because it may be damaged or incomplete"
Photoshop and Acrobat work fine. What happened to these two?
The Icon to each of these two also have crossed out symbol over them.This must really be a mystery. Nearly nothing found using Google. There seems to be a similar problem with iPhoto that happens and get this error message but no many solutions.
Anyone out there have any suggestions? -
When I try to open iPhoto, I get an error message that says it can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete.
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
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 File ➙ 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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

my app store will not open. when i try to open it i get an error that reads "You can't open the application App Store because it may be damaged or incomplete". How can I fix this?
I am having the exact same problem. MacForums has been helping me, and I called Apple. After trying everyone's suggestions, and Apple's, no success.
My App Store app still says "incomplete or damaged." There is even a circle with a line through it on the icon. Apple said reinstall my Snow Leopard upgrade disc (not my original Leopard disc) and then run the Combo Update (like your suggestion). Did not work. I also updated the software from "Software Update". Rebooted.
I think this started after I replaced my hard drive with a SSD and moved the hard drive to where the DVD was. I wonder if the person above who had the same problem also installed a SSD?
Anyway, anymore ideas? Even Apple is stumped.
(In answer to the other post above, my Quicktime works fine.)

Im getting a constant error message: "you can't open the application PACE because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". I cant find PACE to delete it?
PACE is a rather crappy copy protection software used by the following;
Antares
Melodyne
Cycling 74 Max/MSP/Jitter
iZotope oZone
Line6 POD Farm
McDSP plug-ins (some software purchases include a green iLok key)
MOTU
Overloud
Pro Tools
Serato
Virtually all Digidesign (RTAS and TDM) plug-ins
Virtually all Waves Products
So if you have any of there, they might be the cause of your problems.
