Can't open folders I moved from previous computer.

I just upgraded my Mac Pro's 320GB HD with a 1TB. I moved over my Documents and Music folder and saved them on an extra HD. After I reformatted the computer, I tried to open those folders from the extra HD and they will not open. They have a circle with a white line in the middle. When I choose "Get info", the info tells me that I have no access to this folder. Is there any way to change this?

yes, in the info panel, unlock the lock at the bottom and change permissions to give yourself access to those folders.

  • How can I restore folders and files from Previous Systems folder

    I have been unable to migrate files (or even find the option to migrate files) located in my Previous Systems folder. I've been able to change the Privilege of these files to Read & Write (though my Permissions still indicate "You can only read.") and drag them from my previous Users folder to my current desktop, which creates a situation where I have them but am still unable to alter them (or delete them).
    thanks, all.

    Here's my exact issue: I've spent many hours converting vinyl records to mp3s, which were then stored in the iTunes folder of my previous system. Upon performing the Archive and Install, all of these files were located in my Previous Systems>Users>"X">Music folder, which initially could not be opened, prompting the notice, "The folder Music could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges." So, I clicked "Get Info" and changed the Privilege from Read Only to Read & Write. From there I could open the folder, and as you pointed out, move these files wherever I chose. The problem is that I can't use them in any practical sense; I can't import them to my iTunes library and I can't delete them, being notified, "The operation can't be completed because backup items can't be modified." Which, would lead me to believe that I have yet to restore them properly.

  • How can you retrieve information from a iCloud backup on a previous iPhone? Backup from old phone is taking up a lot of space, would like to save pics to computer before deleting. How can I open up the backup from previous phone that is now on the iCloud?

    I originally had an iPhone 4 but switched service carriers back in June.  When I bought the new iPhone 4s, all my information from the iPhone 4 was saved as a backup on the iCloud.  On my new phone in the iCloud settings, Storage & Backup, it shows the backup from the iPhone 4.  This backup is taking up a lot of space on my phone and I would like to delete to avoid having to purchase more space.  However, I know I have pictures on this backup from the iPhone 4 that I would like to view and save on my computer if at all possible before deleting.  Is it possible to view the photos from this backup? If so, how? Thank you in advance for any assistance.  I hope this makes sense, lol, I'm not very computer literate.

    Unfortunately with the issues I mentioned above I don't even think I have enough space for that on the computer!  I have literally moved all moy pictures, music, etc. to another drive and all that's left are some small docs and applications.  I don't know how to find any more space on the thing and can't get things updated until I fix this...

  • Can't open folders to show pictures as large thumbnails permanently.

    Can't open folders to show pictures as large thumbnails permanently.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I'm running Windows 7 on a PC, using Photoshop Elements 7
    It used to be I could open a picture folder from Elements (File>Open) and instruct the files to show themselves as large or extra large icons (View>Large icons), I would then open one or more and edit them, go back to the original folder to open another and still see the files as large icons or whatever I'd chosen before.
    I can no longer do that - as soon as I come back to the folder, all the files have reverted to List view. I then have to go back to the View options. On the other hand, if I open the same folders from Windows Explorer they all show as large icons, as I've chosen to view them, and they remain so for as often as I open the folder.
    I bought a brand new copy of Elements 11 and installed on the same computer (after uninstalling El 7), believing that maybe my copy of Elements 7 was corrupt. But the same conditions obtained with El 11. I un-installed El 11 (didn't like it, too cluttered for me) and have re-installed 7.
    I've picked up a couple of viruses along the way which I get rid of mostly by restoring the system to a previous state. I installed a trial version of Norton while El 7 was working properly and later uninstalled it, believing maybe it had something to do with the subsequent misbehavior of El 7.
    I've noticed a couple of other quirks; after I click File>Open the window with my picture folders opens maximized, it used to be I could re-size it but not any more, even though the mouse pointer turns into double arrows along the edges and corners. Also, when I clicked on Save the pointer immediately defaulted to the Save box, but not so any more.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    Can the SidHistory attribute be moved from one User account to a different User account in the same Forest/Domain manually with  Active Directory Users and Computers or with something like Powershell?  it would seem to me this is a safe operation.

    I made a bootable disc on an external hard drive, with Yosemite on it.  I am running Snow Leopard on my iMac.  How can I open the Yosemite disc from the desktop on my iMac?  Does the external hard drive need to be connected to my iMac by firewire to do that?

    Snow Leopard's Startup Disk pref can’t see Yosemite volumes. So the only way to switch from Snow Leopard to Yosemite is to do what Niel mentioned. Doesn't matter whether it's connected by USB or Firewire, although performance via FW would be faster.
    Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?

  • Can't open web pdf files from my Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license agreement to use Reader and I never saw that page during installation.

    Can't open web pdf files from my newly installed Reader DC because my IMac wants a completed license to use agreement to Reader, and I never saw that page during installation.  How do I get past this?

    You need to accept the EULA on first launch of the Reader DC application.
    Go to the Applications folder and launch Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. 
    This will bring up the EULA.
    Select the "Agree" button if you agree with the terms
    Assuming you selected the "Agree" button, Reader DC should open.
    You should now be able to open PDF files in your web browser.

    I guess you are trying to connect from the R3/ECC to the Portal Server.
    Are these two systems in the same network? Do you have usernames (valid and fully authorized) in both systems? What is the OS on which these two systems are housed?
    Please provide these details to proceed further.

  • I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files?

    I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!

    What version of Photoshop are you running?  You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014.  Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
    If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4.

  • I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D

    Hi,
    I have Lightroom 3.6 and Camera Raw 6.6 but I can't open my CR2 files from my Canon eos 6D
    Lightroom doesn't show a thumbnail image and when trying to import it says the camera format isn't supported. But normaly Camera raw 6.6 should cover the Canon eos 6D
    All help is welcome,
    Thanks

    No, the older versions are not free.  If you upgrade you will have to get Lr5 unless you can still find Lr4 for sale somewhere as it has been discontinued by Adobe.  You can also use the FREE DNG converter to convert the 6d files for use in Lr3.6.
