Nice Solution to 7.3 error (-50) (Provided you don't have an iphone)

Hi People,
I've been having the same probs as everyone else but i just did this and its sorted the prob. im pretty ******** at sorting this kind of stuff but this is really simple.
Kudus to whoever wrote this originally:
had same problem with 7.3.
Temp fix that seems to work and kept all data and dates, even new podcasts downloaded with 7.3.
- Leave iTunes open if open.
- Move User/Library/Music/iTunes Folder (it has 2 library files+ music data and possibly others in it) to Desktop
- Rename it something else like "was iTunes".
- Move iTunes.app (7.3 version) from the Applicatison Folder separeately to the Desktop
- Download iTunes 7.2 from
http://oldapps.com/downloadiTunesmac.php as previously noted in this thread.
- Install 7.2 as an upgrade onto the hard drive. It will find the right places.
- It will ask you to close iTunes, it is then OK to do so.
- Do NOT uninstall 7.3.
-After install iTunes 7.2 will then be in your Applications folder. Don't open app yet.
-Go to User/Music folder and look in it. it should not have iTunes, or if there should be empty.
-Get the "was iTunes" folder from the Desktop and put back into User/Music/
-Rename it iTunes before or after moving it back.
-Now iTunes 7.2 shoud run just as before the 7.3 upgrade, and all file info should be there.
This provides a temporary fix without data loss until Apple fixes 7.3.

Fix the problem with minimal data loss and no need to revert to an earlier version.
There was a post about video Podcast creating some of the problems. but did not correct for everyone.
Some non-Videopodcasts actually have video or enhanced content that is acting the same as the video podcasts.
This will not exactly duplicate the Podcasts. It will re-download episodes for each podcast you subscribe to.
• Create a new folder on your desktop
• Open Itunes 7.3
• Open Podcasts
• Select all and drag to new folder on desktop
• Delete Podcast from iTunes
• If you have Podcast in your Audiobooks (not sure why but I do) repeat the process. for Audiobooks
• Quit iTunes
• Launch iTunes - You should not get the (-50) error. and your Podcast folder should be empty
• Drag Podcasts from new Desktop folder back to Podcast in iTunes.
• Restart iTunes

Error/warning message "you don't have permission to modify files in this network location"

Hi,
We have a windows server 2008 running, and we access it via remote desktop. And there's this certain folder that all users access, and where we save important files. So, since this is where important files are stored, we wanted to disable deletion (and if
possible moving) of the folder and everything under it. However, it's harder than i thought. Right now, we have the permissions "Delete" and "Delete files and subfolders" disabled already, BUT when we try to save a file to this folder,
we got this warning/error message:
"You don't have permission to modify files in this network location"
The file is saved however, but there's no content. But when we try to cut/copy an existing file to this folder, it works.
Does anyone know how a workaround on this issue. I've already spent days configuring the settings, and when one works, another issue comes up. This is really frustrating.
Thank you.

Hi,
What are NTFS Permissions and Share Permissions of the shared folder? If you remove delete permissions, when someone tried to create a new folder, they couldn't rename it. Without Delete permission, we can open, modify a file and save with the same file name
but cannot create a new file with a new name.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
NTFS Permissions Question - Allow creation but not deletion

I tried to access my website, but Firefox threw the error: 403 Forbidden, you don't have the permissions to view.

My website - Mousenstein.com - is under construction w/Dreamweaver + Flash.
I uploaded my files to my server.
I opened Firefox and entered the URL:
http://www.mousenstein.com
The error "403 Forbidden" appeared, and ...
You do not have the permissions to access.
I have tried to upload my site countless times, but never successfully - it is a huge headache. That said, I have never gotten the "403 Forbidden - no permissions" before.
All other failures threw the error "404, can not locate the URL "/" on this server.
Any help will be enormously appreciated.
P.S. : Are there permissions preferences on Firefox? I found one under Tools Menu, but it didn't seem to address my problem.
Thanks

I get the same thing with Firefox, IE8, Opera, and Safari. It isn't a Firefox only problem.
Are you new to that webhosting service? <br /> Have you ever uploaded web pages to that same web hosting service previously, pages that worked after an upload? <br /> Are those pages listed as ''' "public" ''' pages in your web hosts control panel?
My suggestion is to "download" your homepage and associated files & images from your PC, up to the server, using your web hosts control panel and see how that works.
Beyond that, I suspect that you might have missed an important setting in Dreanweaver for uploading to the web host's server. You might try asking about this issue at a Dreamweaver support forum.

I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad. As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message. I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

I am trying to install software. I keep getting error message: 1008:9,-5000 Access denied Error. Plus: "You don't have enough access privileges for this installation." I have Administration privileges on MY machine. So, why can't I install software on it?

The machine I am trying to install on is a MacBook Pro. The software is for an IRIScan express 2 scanner. It says (and provides a disc containing the software) it is compatible with Mac OS.
In System reqirements it states the following:
This is the minimal system configuration required to use Readiris:
a Mac OS computer with a G3 processor.
the operating system Mac OS X version 10.2 (“Jaguar”). Earlier ver- sions of the Mac OS operating system are not supported!
110 MB of free hard disk space.
I have no idea what (nor where to find out if it has) a G3 processor is. My machine has Mountain Lion. Is this "above" or "below" "Jaguar"?
Any assistance will be appreciated.

I'll try Silverfast.
Err... Try VueScan first. VueScan have one-for-all software, Silverfast - lot of modules for specific scanners. If they not have version for your specific scanner - no chances.
VueScan works with at least some IRIS models: http://applejac.typepad.com/applejac_macintosh_users/2009/05/vuescan-universal-s oftware-image-capture-tool.html
And I see 10.7-10.8 support on IRIS page: http://www.irislink.com/c2-1628-189/Mac-OS-compatibility-support.aspx

One solution for Safari 3.2 crashing if you don't have any 3rd party apps

So Safari 3.2 was crashing like crazy for me and i tried everything suggested on these forums without success. I never had any 3rd party "hacks" installed like PithHelmet that are known to cause the issue. I remembered i had a proxy server setup to access journals from my school library at home a while back. Tried disabling that and now safari 3.2 has been running without crashing for 2 days.
Just putting it out there for those of you still having crashing issues. I'm sure it's not the cure-all, but maybe some of you still have a proxy enabled. I hope apple fixes this particular issue eventually, because i need to use the proxy.
Message was edited by: zig_k

I guess that is the other side of the analysis. I am similarly not really aware of the way that the proxy works -- I guess it confirms data and settings -- and with the PAC file, these are changed from time to time. I guess, if it is working in FF and not Safari, you might try a few things like turning off then on the proxy settings; creating another Location; resetting Safari (keep that one for later); trashing the relevant preference files; asking your sysadmin; and sending feedback to Apple, with the PAC file location.

TM error, "You don't have permission to acces some files"

Hi,
I recently formated my Imac uploading Tiger OS to Snow Leopard 10.6.6
After that I can't restore copies from TM.
TM says an error, something like " you don't have permissions to copy that files".
Any idea.
Thanks for help

Ok, sorry,
I had Leopard already installed, after that I restore it to Tiger & installed the new Snow Leopard.
Why install Tiger?
You still haven't said exactly what you did, but it appears you now have different user accounts than the ones you backed-up, so they don't have access to the "other" user accounts' backups.
To restore your Time Machine backups, see #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

TextEdit Save Error Message "you don't have permission..."

TextEdit, in both Mountain Lion and now Mavericks,displays what appears to be a fake "Save "error:
"You don’t have permission to write to the folder that the file “XXXXX.txt” is in.
Your changes will not be saved until the problem is resolved."
I have repaired permissions several times with no result. The permissions are clean, not requiring fixing. I am Admin. I should be able to save anywhere, altho I have tried saving in many different places just to test.
It does not ask for the Admin password.
Here's when it happens:
1) Open a document. either new or existing.
2) Type some text in it.
3) Save -- choose destination if new and it seems to work.
4) Start typing in the document
5) After a few seconds I get the above error message that drops down from the title bar at the top of the document.
6) I have to click the OK button and I can go on typing.
Repeat
Save document, type a few characters, get error message, click OK.
Repeat all day long.
Yet it seems that my changes have been saved.
Most annoying.

Wow. Why bother reading the forum if you are convinced the solution isn't going to work before even trying it?
Another viewer besides myself commented above that they repeated the process and it worked for them, so it's not exclusive to my setup.
A search for textedit revealed 97 files. The search took 12 seconds on my eight core Mac Pro.
I quit EasyFind, opened TextEdit and made a simple change in the preferences, saved and then quit TextEdit.
I searched again with EasyFind, sorted by Modified and found eight files had been changed at the exact time I quit TextEdit. One of those is the culprit. I deleted them all.
No, I don't work for EasyFind, nor do I know the people, nor do I receive compensation of any type from them. I like it and recommend it because it just plain works and I like to share good info like that with the Mac community, (BTW, it's free)
Good luck with solving it on your end. If you find a more scientific solution please share it so we can see how it should be done by a real tech support guy instead of an amateur like me. (I was an Apple Var at one time, now I do some support for my friends. I'm on about my tenth Mac, the first being a Fat Mac, and have two Macs and an iPhone at this time. No doubt I have no idea what I'm doing)

How do I get the history and bookmarks to be functional when my Mac responds with "You don't have permission to rename the item "places.sqlite" as recommended in Solution 2, Part 2 - Create the database"?

Since installing Firefox 4 on my MacBook OS X version 10.6.7 I've been unable to activate my Bookmarks or history. When logging on Firefox I get an error message "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application." When I follow the direction as stated in "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional, Solution 1: Restart your computer," it doesn't help. When I attempt Solution 2: My computer generates, ""You don’t have permission to rename the item “places.sqlite”

Start at http://www.mozilla.com and download the latest
version. '''At the completion of the download don't let the setup start Firefox for you, when the setup ends, start Firefox in your normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.'''
The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time
Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
'''Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts. '''
Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
'''On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit'''
Permission errors on Mac:
'''If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest
Firefox version, then uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Do not remove
your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.'''

My iTunes will not open...no error message and I don't have Norton 2005!

I've upgraded my iTunes to 6.03 on my PowerMacG4, with MacOSX10.3.9. After a few times using iTunes 6.0.3, my iTunes stopped opening when I clicked on its icon in the dock. It doesn't show up in the top menu either. No error message shows up and I've read from other forums that it has to do with Norton 2005, but I don't have Norton. How can I fix this????? Please help.

hi alshie!
if you don't have NIS 2005, and you're getting no error messages whatsoever, let's check up on this possibility:
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
but the other thing we'd better check on quickly is infestation of the PC by Qoologic adware. that's typically different from the NIS 2005 and configuration-file thingies in that people usually see a "flash" of the itunes license screen before everything goes away (and they see similar behavior when they try to launch their QuickTime). but that symptom isn't universal in these cases.
what has been fixing the Qoologic for most people has been the free trial version of Ewido:

keep us posted. if no joy with these, we'll start working through the rarer possibilities.

I get this error code when trying to update from an older version of Firefox: The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.

While trying to upgrade from a previous version of Firefox, I get this error code: "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."
== installing ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

I resolved the problem in Snow Leopard by logging out of my (admin) account and logging into my daughter's account on the same machine. She doesn't have admin privileges, so when I tried to install Firefox 4 in her account, I had to authenticate with my admin identity and PW. Installation went smoothly after that. My guess is that you could also simply create a new account on the same machine and install Firefox 4 from that. I have no idea why this works.

After Effects error: opening movie - you do not have permission to open this file (-54)

Hi all,
I'm new to after effects. I have just started receiving the following error every time I try to render my movie:
"After Effects error: opening movie - you do not have permission to open this file (-54)".
Yesterday morning, I was able to render movies, however, after I did Apple's latest update I've started receiving the following error. What is happening is that I'm trying to render a movie. It gets to a certain point in the movie (about 0;00;16;09) and then this error pops up. This morning I've tried to repair the permissions with disk utility, but that doesn't seem to have helped.
I've searched Google and the Adobe support forums with no luck. Please help.
Thanks in advance for you help,
William

Have been able to downgrade to QT 7.3 using Pacifist. Did NOT require re-install of OS.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread...347251&tstart=0
Download the right version here:

Panther: http://www.apple.com/support/downlo...forpanther.html
Tiger: http://www.apple.com/support/downlo...31fortiger.html
Leopard: http://www.apple.com/support/downlo...forleopard.html
Install with Pacifist
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Now that I am back to QT7.3, iTunes7.6 is now asking me to update QT to 7.4 in order to be able to view the new movie rental feature of the iTunes store... which sorta sheds some light on the no permission error. Now that iTunes is renting, not just selling, movies, QT is now all fussy about ownership and permissions. Just a guess.

HT201250 i'm getting message: can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents. and he operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).

I took my computer in to have the Backup restored onto my computer after having a new harddrive put onto my 1year 1/2 old MacBook Pro. When i got it home there was a new User that i had to logout of to getting into my normal user. Don't know why this was, just figured the Mac guys that installed my backup did this for some odd reason. Today i could not open any of my files in the backup on the time machine. All the folder had line going thought them and when i clicked on them I revieved this message: can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents. After talking with that same mac store. I decided to just delete all the files out of the time machine as it was just put back on my computer and i have everything i need. Hours later when i tried to empty the trash i got this messsage: the operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).
Any advise how to fix my problem?
thanks in advance

While you see a single trash can, in reality there are trash folders on each mounted volume. I don't use TM but what you are describing implies that a TM drive is no different with the way trash is treated. So when the TM is unmounted the trash folder on there is gone and thus the trash looks empty. Remount the drive, the trash folder on it now causes the trashcan to look like something is in it.
If TrashIt! could not remove the file, I'm sorry, you will need to use the terminal. We can do this one step at a time so you only have to copy/paste the lines into terminal (except the first time). So launch Terminal (in utilities). You might want to make the window that is shown a bit larger with the grow box since it's pretty small.
This first line is the only exception to the copy/pasting since you have to enter some information.
sudo ls -laR /Volumes/your-TM-volume-name/.Trashes
where your-TM-volume-name is the name of your TM volume. That's the part you have to fill in since I don't know it.
When you hit return the sudo in that command will cause a prompt for your admin password. Enter it and hit return again. Note the password will not be shown as you type it. Post the results so I can tell you what to do next.
Note this ls command is not doing anything but listing the files in the TM's .Trashes folder. Remember I said each drive has it's own trash folder. .Trashes is it.

I can't seem to open (view) my photos. I get an error message that says "the file couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it. To view or change permission, select the item in the finder and choose File. Get info."

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions.
