IPhoto says it's on a "locked disc" and won't allow any access except.....

I have created four accounts on my Mac Book Pro 15". I have given all four administrator status.
iPhoto works great on the first account/the owner account. But on all the other accounts, it says it is "on a locked disc" and there is "no access" to any of the other 3 accounts on my laptop.
I have repaired all permissions and still "no access" persists.
Any suggestions? I have no parental controls in place that I know of. I am 64 and alone, no one on this laptop but me. So what can I tweak and where, and how. Speak as tho to a five year old because the whole Mac language/word and initial definitions are all new to me within the past 2 months. I am learning a whole new language, as well as a whole new operating system.

Hi Jene,
That's weird. I wonder why they struck it out. It seems a quite accurate statement to me!
You gave very clear and easily understandable instructions that are perfect!
Except that I have already done that and more, and still only the first account on this laptop is able to gain any access at all to iPhoto.
So now, I am opening each of the folders contained in the application and "getting info" on each of them in turn, and changing permissions for all (except the infamous 'other' who we know is "root". I'm leaving that as it is.).
And I am also trying shifting the "owner" in each folder from the first user's name to "system".
When I log back in under the second user name we'll see if that has made the desired difference!
Thanks for your help, Jene!

Suddenly, when I attempt to edit a RAW photo in iPhoto it turns a dark shade of green and won't allow me to adjust exposure.

I have an iMac with a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and running OS X version 10.9.5. I have iPhoto 9.5.1.
Suddenly, when I attempt to edit a RAW photo in iPhoto, it turns a green shade and won't let me adjust exposure. I can view the pictures in the events page just fine. However, I'm noticing that when the RAW pictures turn that green shade they tend to stay green regardless of when I'm in edit mode or not. Please help.

Did you install RAW update 5.07 recently? Mine was installed 9/18 - look under updates in the App store.
As to TM I suggest you not mess with its backups - it manages them and makes space as required - it builds a complex set of data so it can restore any file at any time for as long as possible - if you mess with its data you may cause problems for future restores - see Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
If your backup drive fills up
As your backup drive begins to fill up to its capacity, Time Machine intelligently deletes the oldest backups to make room for newer ones. It also alerts you if the "Notify after old backups are deleted" option is selected in Time Machine preferences.

Firefox is saying it is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections and won't allow me access after months of using it. Uninstalling and reinstalling has had no effect. Help!

Recently McAfee recommended I block 'roaming.dwm.exe' which I did. Could that have caused the problem? Since then I have swapped to AVG which found 3 Trojans and removed them, but I still cannot access Firefox. I have checked my Internet Connections settings and nothing is entered there.

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection
Try selecting the "No Proxy" setting. If it doesn't work, select "Use System Settings". If this still doesn't solve the problem, leave the setting at "Use System Settings", then check your connection's settings (in Windows, not FF).

It is also interfering with my correspondence with the project owner of a San Francisco home who resides in Tokyo, Japan but is renovating his family's new home in San Francisco, CA.

The path C:/documents and setting/...iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version.

App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version. My Mac has Iworks from a disc but I can't seem to update to the latest version of Number, Keynote or pages in the App store. The app store identifies the applications as installed but doesn't update them since they were installed from Iworks disc.

all the ICloud numbers spreadsheet pages are now gone. How do I get them back?
Do you mean you were storing the documents in iCloud and now you can't see them from Numbers? If so, you probably need to check to see that iCloud is configured to work with Numbers.
Here in System Preferences > iCloud make sure 'Documents and Data' is checked:
And, after clicking 'Options...', make sure that 'Numbers.app' is checked.
You should be able to see the documents in iCloud when you go up to the title bar at the top of the screen and choose 'iCloud' in the 'Where:' dropdown:

Someone please help me! I live in Turkey and bought my iMac desktop in February. The dealer kept the recovery discs and won't send them. My screen freezes seconds after opening and I can't figure out how to repair it myself. Please help!

I was deleting photos when the screen froze and I had to shut down the computer manually. Now after the first minute of being turned on the screen freezes and the mouse arrow goes into that rainbow whirling disc and won't stop no matter how long I let it go. My keyboard is Turkish. My keys are not marked the same as an English one is, further complicating resolving the problem.
The dealer I bought it from doesn't speak English and wants to charge me for repairs. I refuse to pack the computer up and ship it UPS out of town for a repair I can do plus pay for shipping.
When I received my computer I was only given the manual and no system restore discs for situations such as this. I asked where they were and was told there were none.
I suspect this is a tactic to make money on bogus tech repairs off their customers. To purchase new discs, if I can find them, can cost from $30-$40 - the dealer more than likely is re-selling the discs at 100% profit. This is Cizgili Apple Store in Adana, Turkey. I wish to report them. It is a national company too. I don't have a receipt handy, but have an emailed receipt. I can't get my computer's number to get further assistance on the Apple website withput it.
I was a dedicated Windows customer until I started doing desk top publishing. I'm fighting the urge not to regret buying this computer.

If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.
Good Luck

My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there.

My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there. Any way to fix it ?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

My MacBook Pro has 10.5.8 but came with 10.5.7 install disc and won't boot up and can't reinstall

My MacBook Pro has 10.5.8 but came with 10.5.7 install disc and won't boot up and can't reinstall.
the disc is spinning and I see the apple on the screen with the spinning gear and after a while it just turns off OR the few times it does get past that point when I go into disc utility it tells me that it can not install on this machine!
It's driving me crazy, please help!!!

Welcome to the Apple community.
I'm not entirely sure I follow you here, home sharing comes with iTunes 10.2, so far as I am aware even iTunes 10.6.1 only requires OS X 10.5.8 or better. On that basis I'm not sure why you think you have a problem.

Ipod stuck in lock mode and won't connect to Windows computer

My Ipod is stuck on the lock position and won't connect to my computer when I plug it in. The hold switch moves back and forth just fine and it was working perfectly yesterday. It's the classic nano that's square. It's stuck on a song that I used as my alarm yesterday morning. I haven't turned it on since then and when I pushed the on switch, it went to the screen but then wouldn't do anything else. I've tried to hold down the menu and middle button while moving the hold switch, but it didn't work. Please help!

I fixed it! I had to switch the hold button from on to off to on again and then held the menu and middle button down at the same time. It works just fine now!

My ipad is saying I have app updates to install, but won't allow me to update. The update screen is blank. Any ideas on how to fix?

There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.
