Not Authorized to write to this folder - error msg.
I have been trying to install updates for my Canon Dig Camera software [Applications/Canon Utilities - Canon Utilities is the folder I created during the initial install], it appears to go fine for the first few updates (image browser, Camera Window) and then suddenly stops and throws the error 'Not Authorized to Write to this Folder' and quits. Any suggestions?
Folder Permissions:
Ownership: you can R&W
Owner: system (locked)
Access: R & W
Group: Admin
Access: R&W
Others: Read Only
Thanks in advance for any help!
Run utility disk and repair permission.
p.s.
are you computer admin?

Not athorized to write to this folder
I just transferred to Mac a few weeks ago from many years with a PC. So I am fairly new at this Mac stuff. I've been trying to install new camera software on my local hard drive. I know that I need to enter the administrators username and password, but it won't ask me. It just says: "not authorized to write to this folder". I've talked to the to camera tech support, and they say that it is a mac os x problem. I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
hi again
Second, I've tried copying the CD contents to the
local drive, ensuring that all other drives were
unmounted, but it won't copy and gives the error:
"The alias "Resources" cannot be copied to the
destination, perhaps because the destination does not
support this type of alias."
i've never seen that message - bad media maybe?
Third, I have two CD's labelled Mac OS X Install Disk
1 and Disk 2 and I can't find the Disk Utilities
program to Repair Permissions on either CD.
you don't need to boot off of an optical disk to repair
permissions. just run the app as already installed on your machine.
double-click on Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
select the boot volume on the left side, then click
Repair Permissions...
Forth, with the thought of trying another version of
the same software; I can't find any of this software
on Canon's website.
that's a bit scary! is this app, in fact, still supported?
you know, you can probably get the raw photo data off the camera
just by connecting it and dragging and dropping from the Finder.
and there are other decent and free photo-editing apps out there
(like GraphicConverter)... i.e. you might not really need the canon software... just a thought...

"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod -
Scenario:
With the release of Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926), some users may encounter an error message of “The account is not authorized to login from this station” when trying to access remote files saved in NAS storage. In
addition, the following error log may also be found via Event Viewer:
Rejected an insecure guest logon.
This event indicates that the server attempted to log the user on as an unauthenticated guest but was denied by the client. Guest logons do not support standard security features such as signing and encryption. As a result,
guest logons are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks that can expose sensitive data on the network. Windows disables insecure guest logons by default. Microsoft does not recommend enabling insecure guest logons.
Background:
The error message is due to a change we made in Windows 10 Technical Preview (build 9926) which is related to security and remote file access that may affect you.
Previously, remote file access includes a way of connecting to a file server without a username and password, which was termed as “guest access”.
With guest access authentication, the user does not need to send a user name or password.
The security change is intended to address a weakness when using guest access. While the server may be fine not distinguishing among clients for files (and, you can imagine in the home scenario that it doesn’t
matter to you which of your family members is looking at the shared folder of pictures from your last vacation), this can actually put you at risk elsewhere. Without an account and password, the client doesn’t end up with a secure connection to the server.
A malicious server can put itself in the middle (also known as the Man-In-The-Middle attack), and trick the client into sending files or accepting malicious data. This is not necessarily a big concern in your home, but can be an issue when you take your
laptop to your local coffee shop and someone there is lurking, ready to compromise your automatic connections to a server that you can’t verify. Or when your child goes back to the dorm at the university. The change we made removes the ability to connect
to NAS devices with guest access, but the error message which is shown in build 9926 does not clearly explain what happened. We are working on a better experience for the final product which will help people who are in this situation.
As a Windows Insider you’re seeing our work in progress; we’re sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused.
Suggestion:
You may see some workarounds (eg. making a registry change restores your ability to connect with guest access).
We do NOT recommend making that change as it leaves you vulnerable to the kinds of attacks this change was meant to protect you from.
The recommended solution is to add an explicit account and password on your NAS device, and use that for the connections. It is a one-time inconvenience,
but the long term benefits are worthwhile. If you are having trouble configuring your system, send us your feedback via the Feedback App and post your information here so we can document additional affected scenarios.

Hi,
We have an issue with our OWA page. We are currently publishing OWA via UAG.
We recently upgraded to Exchange 2010 SP3 and then SP3 Rollup7. Since the upgrade, we are keep getting the following error after entering our credentials on the login page. I've tried with every possible browser.
You do not have permissions to view this folder or page
Strangely enough, the mobile phones are sending and receiving emails just fine, the phones use the same OWA link, so it's not an authentication issue, the phones login into the UAG servers with no issues. I can see this on the Active Sessions screen
on Web Monitor.
I've attempted to connect to the OWA by bypassing the UAG server, so putting in the local OWA address of one of my Exchange servers, it works... so the OWA page is up and running.
No error logs get generated on Web Monitor when we receive the permission error, I think this is because it's past authentication, it's on the Exchange layer.
Any insight would be helpful? I'm assuming something changed on the Exchange side after the upgrade.
Just in case, I've upgraded the UAG and TMG servers to the latest SP and Rollup packets.
UAG > SP4
TMG > SP2 Rollup 5I've found a solution; UAG requires Basic Authentication over OWA. For some reason Integrated Windows Authentication got turned on after the SP3 upgrade.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee921443.aspx
Turning Integrated Windows Authentication off via the Client Access OWA settings resolved the issue. Though beware, you
have do this on all your Client Access servers. -
Everytime I sync my iPhone it gives me the warning: The app "Pages" was not installed on the iPhone "Mom's iPhone" because you are not authorized for it on this computer.
Pages was installed when I initially purchased it for my iPhone, but when I got the 4S recently I got the above message. I tried deauthorizing and then reauthorizing, but it didn't help. The Install/Will Install option is there, but gets me the same message. (And I did hit the Apply button)Agh! I figured out I had two apple id's and was able to install Pages from that account. Dumb! :/

ITunes will not copy certain songs to my iPhone - I'm "not authorized for it on this computer"
Hi. I get an error when I try to transfer certain songs from my computer to my iPhone. I get the following error, "(song name) was not copied to iPhone "____" because you are not authorized for it on this computer." For the particular songs for which this error comes up, I purchased them many years ago. I had them on my PC and transferred them to my iPhone just fine. I recently got rid of the PC and bought a Mac Mini (yay!) and copied my files over to the new computer. Then, I connected my iPhone to the Mini and synced it. Then, I noticed that there were some songs on my phone that I didn't want on it so I unchecked them in the Library on the Mini and chose the "sync only checked songs" option and synced again. Nothing changed. So, then I did an Autofill thinking that would make the selected songs on my Mini and matched the songs I wanted on my iPhone. That's when I noticed the songs missing on my iPhone (songs that I had selected on my Mini and wanted on the iPhone). I've never really been able to figure out how to work iTunes so I'm sure I've done something wrong. I can't decifer the error message so your help would be greatly appreciated. (I've authorized the Mini.)
Any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.Hi there!
I've a very similar & the same problem but for me this has been happening ever since iTunes 7.1.5, so not exclusively since 7.2 was launched
In addition to the same problem you're having, iTunes will not sync any of my converted DVD movies and several video podcasts giving me the same error message you mentioned. If it try to play these video's out side of iTunes with QuickTime, I get 'Error -36: An I/O Error' warning and thats it, but I can play with any other media player including the dreaded Windows Media Player! If I copy these files on to a separate HHD, Flash Stick or on to another PC (i.e. so they’re played from not in the iTunes folder in my documents) they all work fine and oddly also with QuickTime, so I'm happy the files are not corrupt. I'm afraid to attempt to play any remaining video's that I managed to sync sometime before this problem in iTunes because when I do, its then that I can never use it again and it gets removed from my iPod!
I can't find anything on this problem anywhere, and I don't know where to go to get help from Apple not that I’m sure they’d be too helpful?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Regards
Jaime

Having troubles running iTunes! I downloaded iTunes just fine, but when I try to open it, it tells me iTunes is in a locked disk or I dont have permissions to write to this folder. Please help! I purchased an iPod for my son and wanted to put music on it.
Hello there KRerssig,
I was looking through our resources and found an article with information regarding that error message. The article is called iTunes for Windows XP: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1866.
Here is the text but the article contains images for a visual reference:
Verify the location of your Windows XP My Music folder. The default location for this folder is
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music
If you do not have this folder at the default location and have not moved it to another location, consider creating one inside your My Documents folder.
Download and install Tweak UI from the Microsoft PowerToys website athttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Note: This utility is for Windows XP only. Please review the system requirements before installing.
Once you have installed Tweak UI, open it from the Start menu.
In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders.
In the right pane under Special Folders, choose My Music from the Folder pop-up menu.
Click the Change Location button. You may see a warning message appear with precautions for changing this setting; after reviewing the message, click Yes.
In the resulting window, browse for the My Music folder as described in step 1, and click OK.
Reinstall or open iTunes.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, the settings for the current user may be corrupted, which could cause iTunes not to install or open. You may have to install and open iTunes in a different Windows user account.
All the best,

For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
Thanks.Try:

The host is not authorized to connect to this Backup Server
Hi experts,
I'm trying to connect to a remote backup server S2_BS running on VM2 from a data server S1 running on VM1. When I issued following command in isql
1> SYB_BACKUP...sp_who
2> go
Msg 7221, Level 14, State 2:
Server 'S1', Line 1:
Login to site 'SYB_BACKUP' failed.
It failed to connect to its SYB_BACKUP (i.e. S2_BS is configured for SYB_BACKUP in this case).
And I got following error in the error log of S2_BS:
Jun 23 14:48:53 2014: Backup Server: 2.24.2.1: The host '10.43.13.204' is not authorized to connect to this Backup Server.
Jun 23 14:48:53 2014: Backup Server: 2.6.2.10: Login information unavailable.
I can ping VM2 from VM1 without any issue:
$ ping 10.43.13.204
PING 10.43.13.204 (10.43.13.204) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.43.13.204: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.035 ms
And have entry for S2_BS in /opt/sybase/interfaces on VM1:
S2_BS
master tcp ether 10.43.11.19 5002
query tcp ether 10.43.11.19 5002
And S2_BS is running correctly on VM2.
I'm running ASE 15.7 SP110 on both VM1 and VM2.
Could someone please let me know how to fix this?The message is due to a new security feature. See Remote Dump Host Control

"Not authorized to send to this .Mac Group" only with Mail.app
Hi all,
I have been having this problem for a while now. I am trying to post a message on a .Mac group that I own. I use my normal .Mac email address, the one that I chose for posting in my Group Preferences.
When I try to send the email from Mail.app, I receive an error "This email address is not authorized to send to this .Mac Group."
However, when I send it using the webmail, with the same email address, it works...
Any ideas?!
Thanks in advanceI guess groups are dead, now.

I'm a first time Mac user and I went to play my music on Itunes out loud and all the music I previously purchased will not play and then a pop up appears saying my computer is not authorized? what does this mean and how can I fix it?
You need to authorize the new computer that youre working with. First hover over the store button at the top of the screen and then select the authorize this computer button then a popup will appear where you have to put in your Apple ID and Password. Hopefully this works for you

This helped meRe: not copied to iPad because you are not authorized for it on this computer
Nov 20, 2011 10:41 AM (in response to hoppo72)
One workarwound is to do the following:
1. Remove the digital content from iTunes (but keep the files)
2. Rename all .m4v files to .mp4 files
3. Add the files back to iTunes
This seems to fix the problem for me
Hope this helps -
I have recently started using iCloud on my laptop syncing it with my iPad. When the syncing process starts it stops and gives me a message something like: You do not have permission to sync this folder. Then it wants me to unlock and gives other suggestions. I have done them all and still cannot get the syncing process past this folder. I is a folder in my documents. Anyone have any solutions?
