My computer says that I don't have permission to save files were screen shots are stored.What do I do?

Well I am trying to take a screen shot, but whenever I do, it says what the question says... What should I do, for the screen shot to be able to be saved?

Hallo Linc Davis,
   My MacBook Pro (mid 2009) crashed completely night before last. Was able to take it to the apple store today wherein the Genius diagnosed that the OS (10.8.5) had failed randomly so he uninstalled and reinstalled it. Since I was up-to-date on my time machine back-up, I just finished backing up the OS with all my data.
   However, when I was finishing that process and clicked on the button to open/launch/start up (?) my mac, I got the rainbow pinwheel of death which spun for about 20 sec. This surprised me because I figured with a Genius diagnosis that my HD was fine and a fresh install of the OS, all should be well as far as basic operation went.
   After I closed down all the microsoft office stuff that auto opens when I start, I opened Safari. I was curious to try streaming a movie on Netflix as I'd had unresolved viewing issues with that before the crash. I'd hoped that a fresh OS install might've somehow fixed that. It didn't. I got a different error message, though, from Netflix instructing me to uninstall, etc. I wanted to get a screen capture of the message to save for later. I was able to set up the grab, but instead of asking me where I wanted to save it, I got an error message from my mac telling me I don't have the necessary permission to save it where those images are saved. Before today, I was always able to save those images.
   So, I followed your Go>Go to Folder> ~Library... instructions and was told there was no folder by that name. I then followed the Applications>Utilities>Disc Utilities>Repair Disc Permissions instructions and still can't save the screen grab. The list of things needing repair, though, was massive! They were 'unanticipated' errors, or something like that. Lots to do with iTunes and languages, including in Dutch. No idea why. There may have been other languages, mentioned but the list was so huge I didn't scroll to the bottom. In any case, I still can't save screen grabs.
   Any ideas?
   Thanks for your help!

First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion. I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

When I download photos to my I-Mac and then try to open them, It says that I don't have permission to view them. I have been using the computer for several months without this problem, but it has appeared within the last two weeks.

When I try to open my downloaded photos from a DVD through finder the computer says that I don't have permission to view the files.
This is something that has just happened recently.

Copy the images to your Pictures folder or Desktop and then try again.
If that doens't work, then do #6 here, (Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs)
that will set the permissions to you.

At official Apple page's I found this:
With our Guest Checkout feature, you can check out on the Apple Online Store without an Apple ID or password. Simply add the items you would like to purchase to your shopping basket, enter your shipping and payment information, and click the "Place Order Now" button.
You will be able to visit online Order Status to check your order status and track shipments.

What number I must dial?

How do I recover photos lost by iPhoto. I tried using Time Machine but I get an error message saying that I don't have permission.

IPhoto quit in the midst of importing some photos to the library. When I reopened it, it had some events, that were imported a few days earlier, which had no photos. They were missing. I tried Time Machine to restore the iPhoto Library to a version made a couple of hours earlier. But I got an error message saying that I did not have permission. I tried restarting iPhoto while holding down the Option key and tried to access the Time Machine iPhoto Library, but that only got me a portion of the library and not the portion that was missing earlier. When I restarted iPhoto this time, even more of my photos were missing.

Try repairing the permissions on your Time Machine, Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452

Don't have permission to save file.

I have upgraded from a imac g5 to a macbook pro with ilife 08. Iweb said i need to update my domain file. So i press update and it says i do not have permission to save that file. I haven't found an answer on the support faqs. Anyone have any light to shed on this topic?

I just figured it out on my own. For those who have this problem go to library>application support>iWeb. Then i hit get info on my domain file, unlocked it and gave everyone permission to read and write.

When I take a screenshot (command, shift, 4), I get an error: "you don't have permission to save files in the location where screenshots are stored". Help!

I used to be able to take screenshots just fine.
Now, when I try to take a screenshot (using command + shift + 4) I get an error stating that my screenshot cannot be saved, because I do not have permission to save where they are stored. HELP!

If not running Lion, please do this:
With the Finder active, press the following key combinations, in this order:
Shift-Command-H
Command-3
Command-I
The Info window for your home folder will open. Click the lock icon to authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you should have read & write access. If not, make it so. Regardless of whether you made any changes, select "Apply to enclosed items" from the action (gear icon) menu.
If running Lion, do this:
Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities > Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if not already selected.
Under “Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs”, click the “Reset” button.
Select Apple menu > Restart from the menu bar.

I need help because I need to use my screenshot function on my Mac Air (running with OSX Lion). Please help.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screencapture.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I am a student at FIU and i can't access my course work when I try to log into Adobe Connect it says that I don't have permission

Is there something that i have to download or install for this program?

larkkey,
You should reach out to the admin of FIU's Connect deployment. Your professor, who may be incharge of enrolling you in the appropriate training, may also be able to verify your permissions and get you access to your training.
There shouldn't be anything special to install to access your trainings.

I have the 64bit version of itunes on windows 7. When I connect my iphone5 it says that I don't have the correct software and that I need to install itunes 64bit! And I can go no further! I've uninstalled and reinstalled but it makes no difference. I have no access to other computers so at the moment I don't have a backup for my iphone should anything go wrong.
Please Help!

Hello ekbowers,
It sounds like you have installed the 64 bit version of iTunes, but you continue to the get an error message that suggests to download the 64 bit version any time you connect your iPhone 5. I understand that you have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but sometimes you may need to uninstall additional components related to iTunes to completely remove it from your system.
I recommend following the steps in this article to completely uninstall iTunes:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Once you have completely uninstalled iTunes, you can download the 65 bit version of iTunes for Windows here:
iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows 64

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

You should have at least 10% of your total storage.
1 GB is not enough, you need to delete more

HT201364 I am trying to upgrade to OS X Mavericks but when I click on download it does nothing. I can't load most apps because it says that I don't have the latest version. Help! what can I do?

I am trying to upgrade to OS X Mavericks but when I click on download, nothing happens. It shows as purchased but nothing is happening. I have the MacBook Pro Late 2011 model. I am unable to load any new apps because it says that I don't have the latest OS version. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would appreciate it! Thanks

I installed 'Mavericks' on my Macbook Pro and am sorry I did !
It wiped my Mac's hard drive totally clean!
A technician here was able to reload the original OS but all my pictures, files and contacts were
sent God knows where !
I should have done a back up, so I learned my lesson the hard way !
What really annoyed me was that this is an Apple program, so I wrongly assumed it would be a safe download.
Wrong !
He told me that others in our small town had experienced the same problem, and since we live in a small community of about 6000, I wonder how many others have had this problem in more populated centers ?
Everything is thankfully up and running again ( at great expense in time and money ) but I will exercise more jurisprudence in future offers for any upgrades!
