Thanks So much for your response, ok then I guess what I ment to ask is , How do I get Root permissions and access to all my cumputer files. When using the Terminal it only allow me to go back so far to view my user folder but not the root folders?
If you have admin access in your account, then in Terminal, you can go to the file root with
cd   /  <enter>
and then go from there.  (The single forward slash is the shorthand for the filesystem mount point.)  You should be able to a number of things otherwise blocked by using the sudo command before the normal Unix command, as in, for instance,
sudo   touch   /System/Library/Extensions  <enter>
which is a command which changes the modification date to the current time on the Extensions folder.  When using sudo, you will be asked for your password, and after successful authentication, the command will execute.

    To add to Mylenium's reply, here's how to do it on Windows and this is what microsoft website says:
    Why do I have to be an administrator to install a program?
    Only administrators can make changes that will affect everyone who uses the computer, such as installing software and hardware and changing security settings.
    If the program you are trying to install or run says you  must have administrator rights, but you are already an administrator on the computer, right-click the installation icon for the program, and then click Run as administrator. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    If the program installs but does not run, right-click the program icon, click Properties, click the Compatibility tab, select the Run this program as an administrator check box, and then try to run the program.

  • How do I get "Sufficient Permissions" to manage my own images?

    I cannot manage some of my images in Bridge CC. When I attempt to delete, move or rename them I get the message: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions." It's my computer. I'm the only user. How do I get "sufficient permissions?" Some of these images were transferred from my old Windows XP computer to my new Windows 7 computer. Could that have something to do with it?

    Bob:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Disk Utility does not repair permissions in the User directories. You can perform the following on your iPhoto Library folder:
    Download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

  • How can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

    how can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

    On your Mac, for duplicates, switching Contacts off then back on in System Preferences > iCloud may prevent duplicates.
    On the iPhone / iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Make sure Contacts and Calendars are swtiched on.
    Try restarting your Mac and your iOS devices when items won't sync as they should.
    To restart an iOS device:  Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

  • How can I get the light for the power button to go back on?

    I would like to get the power button light to work properly again. I have a p6813W desktop running Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
    The first time the machine went into sleep mode and was awoken the power button light went out and has not yet to come back on even after many shutdowns and restarts. I can't easity tell if my computer is on or off. How can I get the light to work properly again?
    Thanks.

    Mac's don't have UI scale options like Windows has.
    Either you can drop the screen resolution in Displays a wee bit and make things appear distorted, or do what I do and use the Universal Access and set a control key, then use a mouse wheel/scroll to zoom in and out where the mouse is pointed.

  • How do i get my music off my pc and onto my mac ?

    This is probs the oldest question out there, but how do i get my music off my pc and onto my mac ?

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • How can I give administration permissions to a specific user+group on wiki?

    How do I give administration capabilities to a specific user for only ONE specific group on my wiki server, not all of them.
    Anyone know the simplest way to do this?

    Really all I'm looking to do is to keep my web site exactly the same but limit the reading and writing capabilities of some users on specific groups/wiki pages/blogs but still allow them to read and write to other specific ones that somehow I would designate.
    For example: I'm setting up a group for multiple users (about 15), and they each have their own page within that group, however i want to give them very limited administration capabilities on the site, all I want them to be able to do is to edit their own page, NOTHING else in the group
    there's gotta be a way to do this without 3rd party software installation that seems complicated enough on it's own, isn't administration capabilities a fundamental part of wikis?
    Someone has to have gone through something similar, any help?

  • How do you get Voice Memos off the iPhone and onto my Mac???

    Is this yet another iPhone dead end??
    I used the Voice Memo app that comes with the iPhone to record some rehearsals and now I want to move them to my Mac, edit them, make CDs, share online.
    I can't find any way to get them off the iPhone, unless I click the "Share" button, which means I can email them. But, it won't let me email the longer ones. I don't know how large the files are, but it just won't do it. I don't see any other facility for moving these files to my Mac. What is up with that???? iTunes provides no access to these files.
    Is there some proprietary utility for the Mac that will allow me to access these files and move them to my Mac??? It would be nice if the iPhone would show up as a mounted volume which I could then browse for files, but that would make too much sense and be contrary to the control freak nature of Apple and it's iPhones/iPod Touches. I would call it another lousy user experience, but it's just a user non-experience, a complete dead end.
    Is there any way to get these Voice Memo files off of the iPhone besides emailing them??

    Thank you for replying!
    That kb article refers to the iPod Nano and not the iPhone nor the iPod Touch.
    The Synchronizing section you pointed to does not work. I have a big bunch of voice memos on the iPhone. I tried the sync. Three of them were moved to the Mac, the rest were ignored. Four others were moved to iTunes Music/Music/Unknown with numbered names (i had given several of the voice memos names with the Custom label on the iPhone). For the synch I selected "Include voice memos."
    After a sync, or several syncs, none of the other voice memos were moved to the Voice Memo playlist, nor are they in the iTunes Music library.
    How do you get them to sync? I need to move them off of the iPhone and onto my Mac!
