I can't access photos or files because it says I don't have permission

Every time I try to open up a picture of a document on my laptop it says that I don't have permission and to go to the finder and "Get info" ...even if I unlock the icon at the bottom right, i can't open the file and i can't save it or if i duplicate it i cant edit it or most of the times even open the document. I am on my main account and I should have access.

    Yep, there seems to be an issue with this. In addition to getting that error on my iTunes on my PC, I get an error when trying to update apps on my iPhone 5.

  • 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?

    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:

  • çnow won't sync back to my iPad because it says I don't have permission on this computer. I don't want to download it from iTunes again because it took up a lot of bandwidth. What's the deal

    I bourght "E O Wilson's Life on Earth" and backed it up to my iMac. Now it won't sync back to my iPad because it says I don't have permission on this computer. I don't want to download it from iTunes again because it took up a lot of bandwidth. What's the deal?
    I also made the big mistake of downloading a free book about the making of the movie "Frankenweenie." Mega-memory eater. Now it wants to download additions and started to do so---now says paused. I can't delete the bloody thing. Seems like nothing I've downloaded, including free books, can be deleted. How can I get rid of this garbage?
    Is there any way to just transfer my music from my iMac to my iPad and not affect anything else on my iPad? The whole iBooks thing is just a mess as far as I'm concerned. Is there any way to just drag and drop?

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

  • I have a MacBook Pro, and will not let me open a file because it says I do not have permission.  How do I fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro and it will not let me open a file that I have used several times in the past because it says that I do not have permission to use it.  How do I fix this?

    Oops, my bad.  The repair disk permissions in Disk Utility doesn't actually fix the User home folders.  To do that boot into the recovery partition and when the recovery desktop appears select Utilities -> Terminal. Enter “resetpassword” and press return - don't worry you're not actually going to reset your password!
    Ensure that your username is selected from the “Select user account” menu, then under “Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs” click the “Reset” button.
    Click on the Apple menu and restart your computer.

  • I am a mac user and I can't load the update because it says I don't have permission to remove components of the current version?

    I am the sole user of this mac and have an administrative account. Do I uninstall before I install the new version?

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.

  • I installed the latest version of iTunes on my Windows XP.  I can launch it but it won't connect to the store because it says I don't have a network connection but I do because I'm on the internet right now!  Help!

    I installed the latest version of iTunes on my Windows XP.  I can launch it but it won't connect to the store because it says I don't have a network connection but I do because I'm on the internet right now!  Help!

  • My iTunes won't open. Says I don't have permission. Why is my computer doing this and how can I fix it so I can access my iTunes?

    And is there someone who can help me resolve this problem? I've uninstalled iTunes but even when I put it back on, it says the same thing over and over again.

    I'm having the same problem.  iTunes won't open and says I don't have permission.  What do I do now?

  • The New Itunes says I don't have permission to make changes. All I want to do is add stuff to my Itunes. What can I do?

    The new Itunes says I don't have permission to make changes when all I want to do is add files to my itunes library.
    What can I do?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I can't backup my iPhone 5. It says I don't have enough storage. So I've deleted like 6-7 apps and its still says I don't have enough storage. And it also says the say thing when I want to buy new apps or music. What can I do?

    I can't backup my iPhone 5. It says I don't have enough storage. So I've deleted like 6-7 apps and its still says I don't have enough storage. And it also says the same thing when I want to buy new apps or music. Also my messages won't send; I have to turn my phone off and resend then just to they can send. I can't even take any pictures because it says I have no storage.(I currently have 1,658 photos and 72 videos by the way.) What can I do? I just my phone in late December. I didn't think it would act up this bad before I even had it for a year. Please help.

    Your phone needs more storage, buying storage on iCloud.com doesn't change that.
    Delete some of the stuff off of your phone, it's full.

  • I'm stuck on the activation screen because it says I don't have a valid sim

    hi I recently got a iPhone 5s, I'm suck on the activation screen and can't get past it because it says I don't have a valid sim. I'm not sure what sim im on but I brought it unlocked and put a sim in it and it isn't working. Also how do I tell if the sim isn't the right one, because when I put it in i comes up with the normal circles that show you are connected. I have not idea what iOS im on cause i can't check.

    Softbank is a Japanese carrier. They do not unlock phones, but if you can use it with a Softbank SIM that should work. There are fake iPhones, but you can easily check; just enter its serial number here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage

    I can't Install my updates on my mac book , it starts to install and a box pops up saying i don't have permission to install

    So, then, after you click the Install button  you receive the permissions error dialog? Again, are you logged into an Admin account?
    Have you tried:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Also, please check the settings on your startup drive. Select it. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window, then open the bottom-most panel and check the settings. They should look like this:
