IPhoto 6.0.4 new won't update pictures permission error

I am still using 10.3.9; just got iLife 6.0; installed fine. Did whatever updates allowed to me. Trying to open iPhoto; as usual, goes through the updating process to all photos. here's where it gets interesting.
I am the only user on this computer. I am the admin.
iPhoto says that there are permission issues and to go into the iPhoto pictures folder and allow read and write. I did that. nothing. So then I went back and went folder to folder ensuring all were okay. All fine.
Nothing.
I can't sit here and check all of the 1000s of pictures to see which one is somehow not correct on permissions. Is this a glitch? Am I missing something? its never done this on all of the previous upgrades. Little help from you old pros

Carl:
Try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. That often works where just the Info window does not.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Permission Errors: Mtn Lion upgrade from SL iphoto, iTunes, etc; want to save myself and reinstall, Permission Errors: Mtn Lion upgrade from SL iphoto, iTunes, etc; want to save myself and reinstall

Well here I am again, once again lots of problems with t he upgrade to ML from SL on my late 2009 iMac.
Background: I took my perfectly fine functioning iMac into the Apple Store to have the Seagate HD replaced pert the recall. BIG MISTAKE. The Geniuses gave me a "complimentary" upgrade to ML without asking if that was okay, and three months later, I still do not have a functioning iMac.
My iMac since this reintallation has been unable to open ANY iphoto files/photos saved whie I was still running SL--pretty much everything I've saved as a jpeg for the last six years, so I'm not willing to let this go so easily. Not only have I got work-related files on here that I need, all of my children's and family photos are saved on there. I need those files.
After trying to no avail to reinstall SL from disk, the Apple Tech from Apple Care said that I've got hardware problems (fans wont' stop running; SL disk cannot be read by either Super Drive--the one inside the iMac or the external portable Super Drive, hence reinstallation of SL has not been possible), so I'm supposed to take it BACK into the Apple Store and let them work on it again. Please understand that for the last three months I have been dealing with nonstop issues that have created a real mess of my life and nothing gets fixed, no matter how many phone calls I make. I do not think any of this is hardware-related, honestly. I've found numerous threads on the fan running constantly with the installation of ML; and no, I'm not even running any CPU-instensive programs. And nothing explains why when the SL disk (a second copy of which was mailed to me) cannot be opened (the progress wheel just keeps spinning and spinning).
Well, I've decided that I'm probably going to have to give up on this, and that my previously working iMac that should have had more life in it is destined for the landfill (or recycling). All I want now is to get my data off of it and be able to use it with my external hard drive with another Mac (MBA now running Lion--although it's also got lots of problems) and a new Windows machines which I will mostly likely be buying this week. I can no longer live with the interruptions to my life--I work with my computers, need my data, and this has been going for three months.
I read a bunch of really complicated information on how to get my old data off of my Mac and/or external hard drive, and I've accepted that this is going to take a LOT of time, but I do't have a choice if I want my data.
I'm now looking at the contents of my external hard drive, and looking specifically at one of the user accounts (one that I use for work purposes) and I see that I am not allowed to view the contents of the "Pictures" because I do not have permission. This has been an ongoing issue while using the MBA to TRY to view/access data from the iMac. Is there anyone who can help me figure out how to repair all of these permission errors?
I've lost an unbelievable amount of time with all of this and I only want MY OWN files. I'm not trying to pirate any software, I just want and need my own iPhoto images and of course, since I own the music in my iTunes library, I think I ought to have permission to take this data off of this external hard drive and put it onto another external hard drive that I will buy tomorrow, so that I can reinstall onto another machine (ie, probably a new WIndows computer).
To paraphrase:
Upgrade to ML made most of my files saved on my iMac with SL obsolete or not viewable or accessbile. I NEED these files (mostly jpegs, iTunes music, some pages docs, etc, but I'll live without those docs if need be).
I have the last backup that was done before taking the iMac in to have the hard drive replaced. I can see that the data is there, but in one of the user accounts, the one I use mostly for work related purposes, the error message that tells me I cannot view the files because I do not have permission comes up. I've never had any other admins of my computers, either the iMac or the MBA that I am trying to use to open the files on the external hard drive. How would I repair the permissions on a backup of my old SL system from a MBA running Lion?
Anyone? Please help. I'm going to lose a whole heck of a lot of data and money if I cannot get these saved files back.

Photoshop CS5 installs on Win 8.1, but won't update. the error says, ""This serial number is not for a qualifying product..." when installing an upgrade or upsell". PS CS5 12.0 is too downlevel to work on canon raw

I have contacted adobe CusServ 5 times. Each time I get a different answer. One even went so far as giving me a new, full product serial number which still would not allow updates to be applied. Their only solution is to pay for the "cloud". I don't need the "cloud". My CS5 does everything I need and has worked great up until my computer died. It was running win7 ultimate. My new computer runs win 8.1. Not the pro version. Should I go to Corel, maybe they are more helpful? Help please!
I have looked at the other similar issues here and the answers are all similar. 1)Contact CS agent. Useless, they say come here to the forum. 2)apply SN from previous product. Did that and loaded CS4 also. No help. 3)Get a new serial number. got a new SN for a full product from one of the CS agents. Same problem.
I have deactivated, activated. I have uninstalled and re-installed several times. The CS agents I have spoken to were useless, the only way I could get them to try anything was to suggest that the problem was beyond their competency. I refuse to pay $30 a month for the functionality I have all ready purchased. Adobe is degenerating. I hope more people reject the "cloud" concept.

Hi Guys,
Ive got the same problems as you, Win XP SP2 on RAID 1 hard disk set on an AMD raid controller, but I have no driver to roll-back to.
Ive installed Photoshop CS3 and also Acrobat Standard 8 (which used to run fine on an old system), but all i get now is the blank window with the menu and title bar and thats all.
Can some one help? (will this licensing patch resolve the issue - and where can i get it from?)
Thanks

I have tried to install and uninstall the NSU software and I am not having any luck. I have tried this on both XP and Vista. I am getting the following error once it trys to apply the firmware update:
===============================================
Software update failed
For optimum connectivity, your USB cable should be connection directly to the PC, and not via a USB hub, USB keyboard or laptop docking station.
===============================================
I have turned off all antivirus programs to ensure that this was not the issue, I read an article that stated this worked for other users, and still no luck.
Any help with this would be great, currently I am running Firmware version 3.63 and would like to update to the 9.42 release.

Iphoto 09 8.1.2 won't import pictures

It doesn't seem to matter what I do, but iPhoto has decided in the last couple of months to stop saving imported events/pictures. I can open the program, create events, import photos, etc. but when I close it, and open it again all the photos I imported are gone. It is quite frustrating. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I've looked around the discussion for possible answers but I've found no one with a similar problem. I should also mention that I import my photos from my camera via a memory card and first organize them into folders in a Picture folder before importing them to iPhoto. The pictures are all on my hard drive, and there are no problems there.

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
It sounds like you have either a database issue or a permissions issue.
Rebuild your iPhoto Library following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638.
I would use the options in this order:
1.) Repair permissions -- allow to complete
2.) Rebuild database -- allow to complete
3.) Reclaim unused space
Also make sure your iPhoto Library is being stored on your internal HD or an external that is Mac OS formatted. And be sure you are not using File Vault http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8738.html.

OS X 10.8.5 won't update due to error 102.

I first tried to update my iphone 5 to the iOS 7 and it kept saying error so I thought I would be able to update it with my computer, but my computer software needed to be updated and when I went to update it it said error 102. Why can't I update my software? I tried updating my computer through apple's website and when I click the link a page pops up saying acess denied.

Ignore my last post.
It appears Apple’s download servers are ‘overwhelmed’ today. I couldn’t download the newest iTunes update or IOS 7 and there are a lot of discussions today about not being able to download. One poster said they had chatted with App Store support who confirmed the problem. Maybe you can download it here.

Bento Update right permission error

I am new Mac user, I tried to update the Bento software from 2.0.2 to 2.03 but when I tried to drug the update in the application folder it told me that a newer version it was still in the folder but I checked and there were the 2.0.2 and if I tried to drug anyway in the folder the 2.0.3 it told me that I don't have the right permission.
In the Bento forum they told me to put out the 2.0.2 from the application folder and drug the 2.0.3 in and in this way I could, but now I ask myself if there are permission problem?
they told me that if it doesn't function try to repair disk permission, I need to do that anyway or is not important? More over for the Bento application I need to re-enter the key serial number?
Sorry but I am new

I have a brand new mac mini. All software is factory installed. Opened Bento2 and entered my key OK. Then had problem below about "you don't have "some" permissions". What the **** does that mean?
I am sorry to see a problem apparently at least 4 months old has not been solved.

IPod won't sync, spurious permission error

I have just purchased the new iPod with video. It will not sync with my library, after adding ten or twenty songs, I get an error that says "Attempting to copy to the disk 'iPod' failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". It goes on to claim that I don't have write access to my Music Folder, which seems in direct contradiction with the first (in bold) message.
I've double checked the permissions on my music folder, and I do have read/write access to all the files and folders inside. I have run the Disk Utility and have done the "Repair Permissions" out of superstition.
Does anyone know if it's possible to get a more helpful error message out of iTunes? I suspect that this problem doesn't really have anything to do with permissions. I had a couple of songs where the file had been deleted and received the same error (but after I hit OK it gave me the name of the missing track).

I couldn't find any good information on rebuilding the iTunes library, so I decided to tackle it by hand. This did, in fact, fix my problem.
Back Up Your Playlist Data
Open iTunes and choose the "Export Library" option from under the iTunes menu. Save this file to the desktop. This file represents all of your playlist data.
Delete Your Library
Quit iTunes and open up your Music folder. Nvigate to your "iTunes Music" folder. Inside of that is a folder called "iTunes". Located inside of that is your iTunes library, it is comprised of two files:
iTunes Library
iTunes Library.xml
Move these files your desktop, they will no longer be read by iTunes.
Add Track Back to Your Library
Relaunch iTunes, all of your tracks and playlists will be missing. Drag your Music folder onto iTunes, iTunes will re-add all of your tracks.
Import Your Playlist Data
Now that your tracks have returned, import your playlist data back. Choose the "Import" option from under the iTunes menu and choose the file your exported back in the first step. iTunes will load in your playlist data and re-link your tracks to your playlist.
After this final step, I can now synchronize my library to my iPod without issue.

IPhoto Library won't update

I have an old iPhoto library from iPhoto 9 that won't update to iPhoto 11 and won't open. How do I fix this or can I retrieve the photos from the old library without opening it in iPhoto?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
