I don't have permission to use my iTunes files????

I'm trying to run a Keynote presentation that I created in the previous version of Keynote, and keep getting the message: The media file "..." is copy protected. You don't have permission to use it in Keynote. Why don't I have permission to use my own iTunes music in Keynote?

Well.....
Apple iTunes checks where you purchased that file and if it is copy protected.  If it is, then Keynote 6 blocks the play.  You have a couple of options:
1.  Occasionally, if you convert a Keynote 5 presentation with purchased audio clips embedded, Keynote 6 will ignore the copy protect--I  don't know why.  Other times it just strips them out.
2.  You can convert the purchased audio files by burning them to a CD and then transferring them back to iTunes, which is a nuisance but it works.  There are also some utilities out there that will do the conversion to an AAC or MPEG file format, and then you add these to the slide.

  • How to resolve "You don't have permission to use the application" errors?

    We've been struggling with managed preferences, specifically applications, for a few users. They have mobile home folders which live on a Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard Server AFP server, preferences which are managed (by group) on a Mac OS X 10.6.5 Snow Leopard Server Open Directory Master, and the clients are running Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard (bound to the Open Directory Master). There are also two Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard Server Open Directory Replicas. We always manage applications and DO NOT sign the apps when adding them in Workgroup Manager.
    Essentially, key applications are unable to run due to the "You don't have permission to use the application" errors, even though they're explicitly whitelisted. (See some prior investigation over on Serverfault.) After seeing that the Mac OS X 10.6.5 Server update included the following fixes, we upgraded our Open Directory Master to 10.6.5:
    * Addresses an issue that could prevent managed preferences from being applied when a user logs in on a workstation that has been idle.
    * Fixes an issue that could prevent administrators from bypassing client management settings on a workstation.
    This seemed to improve the situation slightly, our most important application now seems to be allowed. Occasionally, it'll give the same error, but a simple log out & back in allows it again. We have not upgraded the client workstations with the Mac OS X 10.6.5 update as it doesn't note any related fixes and we haven't fully qualified it for mass deployment.
    We now have two applications that live in ~/Applications which are explicitly whitelisted (again, NOT signed), which fail with the same error, but logging out & back in does not resolve it. `sudo mcxrefresh -n 'user'` doesn't resolve the issue. In fact, `sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/ManagedClient.app/Contents/MacOS/ManagedClient -f -u `id -u 'username'`` fails with the following error:
    ManagedClient- bad parameter to -u option: use format '-u 501'
    Today I was able to catch the following in /var/log/system.log while attempting to run one said applications:
    Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname parentalcontrolsd[43221]: -[ActivityTracker checkApp:csFlags:] [954:user] -- * Incoming app appears to be masquerading as white listed app and failed signature validation: /Users/user/Applications/FileMaker Pro 5.5/FileMaker Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/FileMaker Pro. Note: This may be a valid app of a different version than what was whitelisted (on a different volume?)
    Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname [0x0-0xa42a42].com.filemaker.filemakerpro[43304]: launch of /Users/user/Applications/FileMaker Pro 5.5/FileMaker Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/FileMaker Pro was blocked
    Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname com.apple.launchd.peruser.1340[6375] ([0x0-0xa42a42].com.filemaker.filemakerpro[43304]): Exited with exit code: 255
    Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname parentalcontrolsd[43221]: -[ActivityTracker(Private) _removeAppFromWhiteList:] [1362:user] -- * Couldn't find local user record
    So, even though the apps are listed in Workgroup Manager and are unsigned, and also appear in '/Library/Managed Preferences/user/com.apple.applicationaccess.new.plist', it appears that the client somehow thinks they don't match what's in the whitelist even thought WE DON'T SIGN THEM WHEN WE ADD THEM!
    What might be causing this? Any further troubleshooting tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

    According to the [Code Signing Guide|http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Security/Conceptual /CodeSigningGuide/Procedures/Procedures.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005929-CH4- SW2], it appears that there is no way to remove signing (emphasis mine):
    "You can take a partial-update approach to revising your code on the user’s system. To do so, sign the new version as usual, then calculate the differences between the new and the old signed versions, and transmit the differences. Because the differences include the new signature data, the result of installing the changes on the end-user's system will be the newly signed version. You cannot patch a signed application in the field. If you do so, the system will notice that the application has changed and will invalidate the signature, +and there is no way to re-validate or resign the application in the field.+"
    Upon further investigation, the version of FileMaker 5.5 in question appears to be signed even after a fresh install from original install media. I wouldn't have thought Code Signing was around back then (2001). And the code signing appears to match between the fresh install (to a new location) and the original install. I'll attempt to sign it in WGM and install the same, signed copy everywhere.
    Also, I looked at one of our other working primary applications (4D.app) and it is unsigned, but appears in the Firewall as "Allow incoming connections", so I don't believe that the Application Firewall is necessarily signing apps automatically (but I certainly won't be ruling it out).
    I haven't checked yet, but the other application that's failing is "Parallels Desktop 6", which I'd bet is signed. I wonder if the "Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections", which is checked, would come into play at all?
    Thanks for pointing out how to use `codesign` to check whether an application is signed or not, this seems to be the first real break on this case.

  • Installed Parental Controls on MBP 10.7.5. Now it's unusable (exc admin's acct).  Constant message pops up- "You don't have permission to use (whatev) app." U can click: ok, always allow, allow once, but no matter what, message continues and u can't work

    Hi,
    I installed Parental Controls on our MacBookPro 10.7.5. Now it's unusable (except for my  admin's acct). Constant messages keep popping up that say  "You don't have permission to use (whatever) application." You have the option to  click: ok, always allow, or allow once, but no matter what you select, the messages keep popping up and prevent you from working.  I have searched these forums, and all I have found is that you are supposed to uninstall the application (Spotify, dashboard, etc). Deinstalling every app is not a solution.
    If the parental controls just don't work - and frankly I'm tired of wasting all this time trying to fix the bugs - can someone recommend a program that will restrict certain user accounts to any websites I haven't specified?
    Thanks for any help or advice.

    Thanks Bob for that very fast reply!
    But neither "Modifying hal configuration" nor "Using the Desktop Environment settings" (xfce) worked. So I tried the "I don't want this crap, how do I turn it off?" solution and well it works
    Maybe I turn it back on in a month or so.. but for now i'm fine with no hot plugging but a working keyboard...
    Thanks and Bye!

  • You don't have permission to use the application "ksfetch"

    When i finished install Google update software, It pop up "You don't have permission to use the application "ksfetch"" many times one day, I closed it, it pop up again.
    The pop up said"You don't have permission to use the application"ksfetch", For more information,contact the person who set up account"
    How can i fix it, does someone know? Thanks very much in advance.

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • I receive the message that ITunes is locked or that I don't have permission to use it.  How can I fix this?

    When I try to log on to I Tunes, I receive a message that it is locked or that I don't have permission to use it.  How do I fix this?

    If iTunes was working previously then it is possible that the preference file that records the location of your library has been corrupted. Clicking the icon to launch iTunes then immediately press and hold down the shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choosem then browse to and open your iTunes Library.itl file, normally found in <User's Music>\iTunes.
    Alternatively see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows if there really is a permissions issue or Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash in case the library itself is damaged.

  • Since I upgraded to Mavericks X, I don't have "permission" to open my photo files in Time Machine.  Other documents seem to work fine.

    Since I upgraded to Mavericks X, I don't have "permission" to open my photo files in Time Machine.  Other documents seem to work fine, and I am the only "administrator".  

    Is the iPhoto library in your home folder, or have you moved it somewhere else?

  • Installed Lion and now Ical says I don't have permission to use it

    Installed Lion and now my Ical says I dont have permission to use it so it automatically closes.  I have made myself the owner in the get info folder and it still doesnt work.  Any body got any ideas.
    Thanks.
    Bob.

    Have you tried to restart the system? Sometimes this is caused by a running application blocking the access.
    If that does not help, look for a lock file in the iPhoto library package as described here by Terence Devlin:
    Re: The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it. iPhoto can try to repair the permissions.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.

  • Getting "don't have permission to read" message transferring file

    hi,
    I'am getting the following window and dialogue when trying to copy a file located on my macbook to a pc running xp on my home network.
    Thoughts?
    "One or more items can’t be copied to “My Documents” because you don’t have permission to read them. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?"
    Thx

    Running disk utility did not fix my problem.

  • Itunes says I don't have permission to use it

    Got that error this morning. I did a verify and repair of permissions and then it worked. But how did that happen? It only showed 5 songs and normally has about 20,000 or more. And also said I didn't have permission for itunes.
    Jason

    Repair permissions using Disk Utility.
    Using iTunes prefs - check to see that the path is correct so iTunes can 'see' you tunes.
    Also check to see with 'Get Info' that you have access privileges for the files via the FInder.

  • Wind Vista SP2. iTunes 10.6.3.25. I'm trying to Consildate my Music Library on this PC, and get the error: "Copying files failed, because you don't have permission to change your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it."  My admin user has Full Control

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I did what you suggested on all three folders: The main Music folder on the Mac hard disk, on the iTunes folder on the external 160GB Hard drive which contains the current media content and on the new 2TB hard disk on which I created a new media folder. I selected permission for myself which were already read+write and chose the apply to enclosed items on all three folders. I then changed the permission for others to read+write and applied to enclose items also an all three folders.
    But it didn't solve anything.
    Here's what happens: I choose the new directory in iTunes preferences (the media folder on the 2TB disk) I then go to File > Library > Organize Library and then choose Consolidate files. A window pops up and says copying "filename" with a progression bar underneath but the filename never changes. Instead the beachball appears when the mouse pointer hoovers over iTunes. Upon pressing the iTunes icon in the Dock it says that iTunes is not responding. At this point there's 2 different ways:
    A - If I then force quit iTunes the iTunes window disappears but the application does not close. When I want to eject the 2TB disk it says it's being used by another application. Only when I cut the power to the 2TB disk does iTunes fully close. A window then pops up and says that the drive was not put away properly etc.
    B - if I cut the power to the drive without force quitting iTunes, a window appears with the said: "Copying failed because you don't have permissions to change iTunes media folders etc." iTunes remains open and fully functional.

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • Photoshop CS6 crashing on MAC. You don't have permission to use "AdobeCrashDaemon"

    We are having issue with users unable to open Photoshop on MAC machines at school network. 34 machines that are in the Media Device Group on the profile manager. If remove them from the device group the applications work.
    Product: Adobe CS6 Master Collection
    OS Version: MAC OS X 10.9.4
    Machines: 34 iMAC
    Crash log: Process: Adobe Photoshop CS6 [942] Path: /Applications/Adobe - Pastebin.com

    Well, you have to allow the process and/ or fix your permissions. The error log shows a posix_spawn failure and it also lists various privilege escalation failures, meaning the process never even starts properly due to insufficient privileges. Beyond that nobody can tell you much. This is an issue completely outside the Adobe apps.

  • Migrated files - don't have permission

    I recently migrated my files from my Imac to my MBpro. During the migration i was prompted to either replace the user on the macbook, or create a new one. I made a new one. Now when i try to access those pictures and files, it tells me i don't have permission to see the contents of the folder.
    Where can I fix this?

    You don't have permission to use the migrated files unless you are logged in as the user who owns them, i.e., the new user you created. When you are logged in as your original self, the files don't belong to you.
    Someone who understands how to make global permissions changes better than I do will be along to tell you how to sort the problem out.
