Permission required to open files

Having problems opening some JPEG files in iPhoto - message coming up that I need permission to open, but they're all my own files. Not sure if they're the same ones, but have copied a number over from a duplicate user ID, and have now deleted the user ID as I now have everything in the right place to organise...or So I thought. Caption is 'You do not have permission to open the document.....etc' 'Contact the computer or network administrator for assistance'....but I am the adminstrator. Anyone have any ideas how to get round this ? Thanks

Select the folder containing them in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, open the Sharing & Permissions section, unlock it, give yourself read and write access, click the menu with the gear, and apply the settings to the enclosed items.

  • VMM Shared ISO error "User account does not have permission required to open attachment"

    I had this error once because the local service account was selected during installation of VMM.  I have reinstalled VMM with a Domain service account and the error went away.  However, the error is back. 
    "User account does not have permission required to open attachment '\\[servername]\VMMLibrary\server.ISO'. Error: 'General access denied error' (0x80070005). (Virtual machine ID GUID)"
    I tried to create this VM on Host1 and got the error. 
    I then went to Host2 and was able to create the VM while using the same ISO on the same VMM library that failed on the Host1. 
    Both hosts have agent 3.2.7634.0 and are both running Hyper-V Server 2012 R2.
    What is wrong with Host1 and how do I correct it?
    Thank you.

    This is a share configuration permissions issue.

  • Which version of CS6/8.x is required to open files created by CC users?

    I purchased and installed a "standalone" license of InDesign CS6 8.0 (the version installed is 8.0.2) but I can't open files created by our CC users. (version 9.1).We get a popup that the file was created in a newer version... blah blah blah. Is there a newer version of "Adobe InDesign 8.x" that will open CC/9.x files?
    thanks
    tom p.

    Well that's disappointing... Back in September, before moving a dozen of our power users to CC accounts - I was told by either reseller or Adobe that I could get individual licenses of InDesign (CS6 version) for those users that only needed that single app (InDesign) in order to collaborate with everyone else. (I don't consider saving as idml as collaborating.) I'm pretty sure I was told that CC files could be opened by CS6.

  • I saved docs from a iMac to a flashdrive but when I plug the flashdrive into an iBookG4 and try to open the docs on the flashdrive, I get this message: Doc 2 cannot be opened. The required index.xml file is missing.

    I saved docs from a iMac to a flashdrive but when I plug the flashdrive into an iBookG4 and try to open the docs on the flashdrive, I get this message: Doc 2 cannot be opened. The required index.xml file is missing. Does this mean that I can't use the info on the flashdrive with the iBookG4 or can I do something to get the required index.xml file?
    Thanks

    It appears if you write the document with newer version Pages and try to open it older version Pages.

    Are you sure you haven't upgraded Pages on your Mac to Pages 5?
    Check your Applications folder and the Applications/iWork folder. You may have 2 versions on your Mac.

  • Unable to open document. Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file.

    System:
    Adobe Acrobat X Pro, 10.1.2
    Windows 7 Enterprise, 32-bit
    Quad Core badass CPU
    4GB RAM
    MS Word 2010 (Office 2010)
    I installed the latest version as Administrator and am running as Administrator. I have all rights to all files on the PC.
    When I attempt to create a PDF from any Word document, whether .DOC or .DOCX, I get an error window every time:
    "Unable to open document:"
    "[document location]"
    "Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file."
    This happens after the little notice pops up "Starting the application which created the document...."
    If I open Word and create PDF from the ribbon, it works. It still won't allow me to create from Acrobat.
    It creates PDFs from Excel files but not DOC files. I've searched for solutions but found none. I did find this from July of 2011:
    "I have found out from Adobe technical support that this is a known issue with Office 2010 SP1 installed. This is an FYI for anyone else experiencing this issue, remove SP1 and it will work ok. They said an update to correct this issue will be coming within the next quarter."
    I have updated to the latest version 10.1.2 and still have this problem.
    This is a major issue, because it also fails on batch conversions, which is what I really need for the 100 or so documents that need to be PDFed. I'm not going to open each individual file and save each one from within Word.
    This is a KNOWN ISSUE at Adobe, and if you look through the forums you'll find many people having this problem, and so far, I have not seen any solution.
    If anyone has found the solution, please post it here.
    Thanks!

    I think I found a solution. It seems to be relatet to normal.dotm.
    In our environment we have upgraded from XP & Office 2003 to Win7 and Office 2010. Normal.dot is stored on the users home share. When Office 2010 is started for the first time (for a user) it takes some of the old stuff from normal.dot and puts it in the new normal.dotm. When this happens, we get this error in Acrobat X.
    The solution is to rename both normal.dot and notmal.dot to e.g. normal.dot.old and normal.dotm.old. Office/Word 2010 will then create a new, "clean" normal.dotm.
    (By the way, if you are in a corporate environment, you might have changed the default path to normal.dot in Office group policies. You can see it here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\14.0\common\general\usertemplates)
    I would be interested in knowing exactly why/what in normal.dotm caused this error. I can provide you (Adobe) with a faulty normal.dot(m), if you're interested.

  • HT202879 How do I fix "the required index.xml file is missing?" when opening Pages documents?

    I can't open any documents from my son's iPad.  Error message: the required index.xml file is missing.  How do I fix this error so that I can open his Pages documents?  Before I ran the latest update as prompted when I opened Pages, I WAS able to open and view the document.
    I did try restoring Pages using my Time Machine, but it still won't open the Pages document.
    I have a brand new iMac that I just set up last week. 
    Son uses iPad at school, so we update when the school asks him to update.  Will doublecheck his version of Pages but it should be pretty recent.
    In general I don't like using Pages because it lacks a lot of the backwards / forwards compatibilty of Microsoft Word. 
    However, it is what my son uses with the iPad. 
    Most of the time I have to export his files as WORD files because we never seem to have compatible versions of Pages between the iPad and the desktop iMacs. 
    Where can I recommend that Apple improve its compatibility issues with Pages?
    This week I am going to receive a new iPad at my school (I am a teacher) but I am 100% certain that it will not be compatible with the older version of Pages on my classroom iMac.  I also avoid using Keynote for the same reason.  I have 15 year old Power Points that I can still open, but I am hesitant to switch over to Keynote because I want to be able to open my files any time, any where.
    Please advise.

    Not sure what v5 is. Someone helped me and opened it through Pages 5.2, through the program, rather than the Finder. Thanks for making a suggestion!

  • Can't open page documents and get The required index.xml file is missing

    I have “hundreds” of pages documents that were created with pre Pages 09 that will not open now that I have upgraded to Pages 09. In every case I get the error “The required index.xml file is missing“.
    I need a way to fix this or it will cost me many dollars since these files constitute legal backup for earlier federal jobs.
    Anyone out there that can help rather than telling me to open (which I can’t) and save in Pages 08 format!

    If a Pages '08 document doesn't open in Pages '09, the problem is not Pages '09, it's that the document is corrupted.
    I will be disconnected for a few days but if you may wait until tuesday 26th,
    on this day, send me a sample file.
    I will try to understand what is wrong with it.

    That is wrong advice and you appear to have repeated it all over the forum.
    All Pages files no matter what version have the same file extension, .pages, despite being radically different formats and that is the problem. The System does not distinguish between them when you double click on the file, it opens the first version of Pages it encounters.
    You need to right click on the file and choose the correct App version for the file. Unfortunately there are no clues to tell you which is which.
    If you are unhappy with this and the removal of over 100 features plus the problems with transmitting files across devices, servers and different versions of OS X, rate/review Pages 5.5.2 in the App Store.

  • Giving permission to open files

    I recently download a folder with a bunch of files in it and my mac is asking for permission to open each one individually.  Is there a way to select them all and give permission to open them all or do I have to continue to click each one individually and click okay?  I'm running mac os x lion if that information is needed. Thanks all for your help in advance!

    Hi fubar2007,
    I'm not sure I follow. Unless a PDF is password-protected, you should be able to open it directly in Adobe Acrobat or Reader--no need to sign in to open files. (If the PDF does have password security, you would need to get that password from whomever created the file.)
    Now, if you have a subscription to an Acrobat.com online service, you can log in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com with your Adobe ID or password. You can also sign in via Adobe Reader by clicking the blue Sign In button in the upper-right corner of the Tools panel.

  • "ePub_Best_Practices_EN.pages" couldn't be opened. The required index.xml file is missing.

    I've been trying to open the "ePub Best Practices” sample document located at Creating ePub files with Pages but every time I try to open it in Pages '09 4.1, I get the error "“ePub_Best_Practices_EN.pages” couldn’t be opened. The required index.xml file is missing."
    Is the file from Apple's site corrupt? I see a bunch of people online have used it successfully, but I don't know when they downloaded it.  When I open the Zip file the only file inside is "ePub_Best_Practices_EN.pages" which does not open in Pages.
    Thank you!

    Hi Peter,
    Could I get the Pages 2009 version as well?
    I tried clicking on your name and looking for a way to e-mail you, but either it's no longer there or I'm missing something. What am I doing wrong? Or, is there another way to contact you w/o posting my e-mail address here?

    If you run your system as a non-administrator, then the other user's folders are locked.
    If you then use Fast Switching, those folders are merely a mouse click (and password) away.

    I have the same issue when trying to open a saved Pages or Numbers document created or modified on my iPad Mini running iOS 7 from my older version of those apps on my iMac (running Snow Leopard and iWork '09). As a work around, export the document as an Excel or Word xlsx or docx file to iTunes on the iOS device, save it to the desktop, and then open and re-save in the older native format.
