Moved location of Pages in "Applications", now can't save "Permission Denied"

To make things easier to me I moved my iWork applications out of the iWork '09 folder and into just applications. That way I didn't have to click on applications, then the iwork folder, then the program I wanted, they are now in order with my other applications.
I now am unable to save any new documents or changes to others. I have tried this in Pages and Numbers and keep getting the "Permission Denied" error message.
I have restarted my computer several times to no avail.
Any ideas?

cd,
You didn't need to move anything. This is what shortcuts are for. There once was a Pages shortcut on your Dock, a one-click action to start the app. You could restore that. You could place a shortcut on your Desktop. Or, you could use Spotlight to start the app.
Spotlight is my favorite because I don't have to touch the mouse. Type Command-Spacebar and then type p a g e... etc. until "Pages" shows up in Top Hit in the Spotlight list, then hit Return to start the app.

Is the computer yours, and are you the Administrator or a user with administrator rights? Are you allowed to install software on the computer?
Check your "purchased" list. Pages should show there, and if it's not installed it should read "install" next to it.
Have you tried another mac? You can install the purchased software on another Mac by using your AppleID that you purchased the software with on the first mac.

I am still on Mavericks and was going to update to Yosemite, but am scared that if I do that I will lose my programs. I am following your question and I really hope that this works out for the both of us. Good Luck!!!

Having purchased and installed pages after finishing my 30 day trial I now can't save changes to documents, it keeps saying that my trial is over and I need a serial number? Never got a serial number, any ideas how to rectify this?

Hi, having purchased and installed pages after my 30 day trial had finished I am now unable to save any changes to documents I had created in the trial version. It says I need a serial number, which I never got when I purchased the pages app. Does anyone kno how to rectify this, I would be very grateful for any help as I'm currently writing up my thesis and am now unable

Hi, I had the same problem and I found that you don't need a serial number anymore. Here is what I did:
(1)I went to Applications fodder on my Mac. (You can navigate to the Application folder from 'New Finder Window.')
(2) Deleted Pages (installed as part of the free free trial version) from the Applications Folder. Also deleted 'IWorks' from the Applications folder.
(3) Started AppStore.
(4) Clicked on Purchases.
(5) Clicked on Pages.
(6) Clicked Install.
(4) repeated (5) and (6) for Numbers and Keynote

I lost most of my bookmarks and now can only save a few

Yesterday, most of my bookmarks went away with only about 12 remaining. In addition to this, now I can only save 12 bookmarks.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Can't boot: permission denied

Ok, this happened two days ago to me. I hopped on IRC for 10 minutes, but no one had any idea what the problem was, and I ended up just doing a complete reinstall. Now it's happening again and, well, I really need this fixed. I have no idea what's causing this, When I boot up, I get something similar to the following: (this is just a sample from my memory...if someone really does want a complete output I guess I could write everything down and post it)
Mounting local filesystems....
/etc/rc.sysinit: line 293: /bin/mount: permission denied

I'm using the latest installer. It boots up fine and works flawlessly for a day or two, and then this happens =/
here's my pacman.log if I installed anything I shouldn't have. http://pastebin.com/m5a8de163

Have moved Itunes library to external HD, now can't burn cd's to anywhere?

I have recently moved the music folder to: F:\Backed Up music, and now when i burn cd's they don't seem to go anywhere. i check the backed up music folder and they don;t show up there, and i search the computer for the files, and they don't show up anywhere on the computer. have I made a mistake somewhere?
i have also checked the: keep itunes organized, and Copy music to itunes music folder when adding to library.
thank you very much,
e

ok when i go to prefs----Advanced--General-- it states the location for import is F:/Backed up Music [which is a folder on the external HD that has the rest of my music on it]
For some reason the folder[or itunes] on the HD is not creating new folders for artists and albums imported.
does this help anyone troubleshoot the issue?

Moved user to a different computer, now can't open any files.

I moved my friends account and his home directory to a different Mac and now none of the files will open. The user account name and password are the same and permissions are under his name, but when we try to open a file none will open. If I try to open a Pages file, it crashes Pages. If I try to open a .doc file, I get an error that says "file format invalid".
His home directory is 9gb and the individual files are more than 0k so the information has to still be in there. I repaired permissions to no avail. How do I get this information back?

Assuming the short user name of the account is "jim", Log in to the new Mac's admin account and enter these two commands into Terminal:
sudo chown -R jim:jim ~jim [press return, enter admin password when prompted]
sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~jim

Moved ITunes folder to external drive now can't get Ipod to sync

I have moved my ITunes folder from laptop to external drive. Had to move each album folder individually to ITunes and when I went to Sync my Ipod, says its in Restore mode and can't get out of it as it stays in Restore mode over and over and over.

As a best practice, you should move your content to an external drive and import references to into iTunes rather than moving the whole database and app files. In iTunes > Preferences > Advanced, uncheck "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". This will keep all your music and movies on the external drive, but iTunes and all references to the content on your desktop.
I know that's not what you wanted to hear as a fix, but this is how I have my MacBook Air setup and it works fine with the iPad. My son tried to move the whole app and database to a hard drive and we had endless problems with it.

Moved iTunes Library to external drive- now can't move iPad purchase to Mac

I moved my iTunes Library to an external drive because I didn't have enough internal HD space to move a movie purchased on the iPad to my Mac. Now iTunes won't sync my iPad - and wants to reformat it - because it says it was formatted on another Mac.
I've tried Aiseesoft iPad Manager but the movie - a iTunes+ movie, so I assume it is a package of some sort - doesn't show up in the movie pane.
This is a really crappy position to be put into. If I could re-download the movie I'd just reformat my iPad and be down with it. Unfortunately, this is not an option.
Help!

Recently moved iTunes library to external and now can't access files

I recently moved my entire library of songs (15.3G) from internal HD on eMac to external Seagate HD. Problem is that I can see all the songs listed in iTunes, but the column next to song name has an ! against every song.
If I go back to the external and follow the path, I'm able to select a song and it will play in iTunes, but none of the songs are accessible. The error message is "'Song Name' could not be used because the original file could not be found".
I'm hoping someone can help me.
Incidentally, I did the same with my iPhoto collection and have had no probs accessing.
Thanks!

And you changed the directory of the songs to the external as well?

If so, you may need to rebuild your library:

Uninstalled Creative Cloud app and several applications, now can't install package

I am our CC for Teams administrator. An employee had Creative Cloud app and several applications already installed on Mac workstation. I uninstalled those applications, and I'm trying to install the custom package I created, but it appears the installer does a complete install of the apps, then uninstalls them all and returns an error message saying that the package can't be installed. Is there something else I need to uninstall to allow the package I created to install successfully?

Moved iphoto to external drive and now can't find it.

I backed up iphoto library on Apple TV and External Hard Drive. Confirmed they transferred and then deleted the file on computer. When I try to run iphoto, it opens a screen that asks me which library I want to use. I can't find the library on my external drive or apple TV drive. Though I can see every picture on my TV. I think I messed this up big time and trying to recover the pictures of my kids. Any help would be appreciated. Clearly I am not computer smart.

1 - in the future never delete a file until you have fully tested the backup you made
2 - depress the option key and launch iPhoto - use the :select Library" option and you should see all available libraries
Report back exactly what happens and what you see if it does not solve your issue
