Permission to make changes

I have installed the latest preview build 9860 and I have setup 4 user accounts to my computer.
Everytime when one of the regular users sign's in, few programs asks administrator password to make changes to the computer. How do I grant the permission to that program so it won't allways ask that password?
Is it enough that I will run that program "as administrator" on my own account, which is admin account?

Hi Tarhanen,
This is user account control setting for protecting system from unwished system change.
In general, if you want to change some setting would affect system, it would ask for elevated permission. So in this situation, you need provide the permission. Run as administrator is powerful enough to perform this action, admin account is your administrator
account, go to your user profile setting to see which one is administrator:

The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it. iPhoto can try to repair the permissions.

Hi, I have the following message when opening iPhoto:
The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it. iPhoto can try to repair the permissions.
I select repair, enter my password and I get the following:
The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it.
This happened a few weeks ago and I have been fumbelling around trying to fix it. I have no backup servers or shared access. My iPhone and iPad 'used to' pump pictures via iCloud but this has stopped.
I am adminstrator with open & edit rights.
I'm using a MacBook Air rinning OX 10.9 (Software OS X 10.9 (13A603)
PLEASE HELP!

Similar problem but not quiet the same:
Please bear with me as I am very new to this subject.
1: Using a MacBook Air OSX 10.7.5 and it is WiFi connected to a Time Capsule.
2: Overnight I have done a complete back-up. Checked the data files and all correct.
3: I can open the files on the TC except for the iPhoto Library as I want to check visually that they are there. All 2,388.
4: The iPhone Library on the TC will not allow me to look in.
5: the iPhoto Library on the MBA allows me access and I can view etc all the 2,388.
Q1: So why can I not look into the TC's iPhone Library? Or how do I open that library so I can look in?
Q2: how can I export data back from the TC to the MBA if ever I needed to do that?
Thanks for helping out a virgin in these matters.

Try Rebuilding the iPhoto library and post back with results. BTW if you don't get an answer on this forum there is an iPhoto forum too.

Couple of things to try:
Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
If that fails:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

HELP... WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?? Did I loose all my pictures?? The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it.

Everytime I click on my Iphoto icon this is what pops up
The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it.
I can't get into my library.
I thought I did a back up onto a TAB and I can't unlock it from there either... HELP!! I'm not computer savy enough to figure this out!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... HELP ME!!
I've gotten frustrated and I've cried and I'm hoping there is help out there!
Thanks!

re-post in the iPhoto forum where all the people that are very familiar with that software hang out. You are much more likely to get a quicker answer there. Good luck.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

You don't have permission to make changes to that file.

I have recently reinstalled iWeb from a time machine backup due to the fact that I had to re install Leopard, I can get my old website to load but when I make changes I get the following message when I try to save it: +You don’t have permission to make changes to that file.+
I have set all the permissions to Read & Write for all the users but it still will not work, any ideas please.
I have also done repair permissions etc

I'm having the same problems. I can't find the iWeb.plist file anywhere. I deleted the iLife.plist file in case it was there, but I still can't edit my website. This website was made on my computer, but under a different login name. I copied the file to another login name and that's where I'm trying to publish my website from. It keeps telling me that I don't have permission to edit. Anymore thoughts. Thanks anyone.

SAVE FAILED. You don't have permission to make changes on that file.

I have copied the domain file from one machine to edit the website from another machine. The editing job can be done without hassle. When I try to publish the we site from the machine where I have imported the domain file appear the message:
SAVE FAILED. You don't have permission to make changes on that file.
What's wrong ??
After 2 minutes appears another window: Your domain has been published...

And how did you copy it over?
Depending on how the file was brought over, it may still have permissions set from the prior volume (I had this problem with iPhoto libraries). It's able to create the web content from the live document, but unable to save the changes to the domain.sites file.
You can try running "repair permissions" with Disk Utility in your Utilities folder to see if that helps.

After downloading Yosemite and the newest iPhoto, I get the message "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." iPhoto will not even open

Just downloaded OSX10.10 - Yosemite. iPhoto said it needed to be updated, which I did. Upon trying to boot up iPhoto, I received the following message: "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." iPhoto will not even open

I'm a bit of a noob but this worked - I right-clicked iPhoto and chose the top option "iPhoto Library". I didn't note the message that appeared, but it was something like
telling me I needed to upgrade iPhoto Library for it to work with my new version of iPhoto
cautioned me that it could take a while, and
once I upgraded it couldn't revert back to an earlier version.
So - I asked it to upgrade, it did, and once it finished iPhoto opened and now works!
I suppose why we could wonder why it wasn't included or mentioned in the original iPhoto upgrade, but this was probably more character-forming...

Iphoto is locked and I don't have permission to make changes?

I try opening iphoto and get the message "The iphoto library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes."
How is this? I didn't do anything to lock it and I don't know how to unlock it?

Where is your iPhoto Library located?
Apply the fix below:
Fix #1
Try to launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.

Why does Firefox needs permission to make changes to my computer?

Yesterday, when I tried to start up Firefox, a window popped up and asked if I wanted to allow the program (Firefox) to make changes to my computer. It has never asked me that before and ever since yesterday, whenever I click to run it, the same window pops up. It doesn't specify what changes Firefox is making and I just keep clicking "allow." I have Windows 7 and yesterday, I also downloaded Sleep is Death by Jason Rohrer- a simple, small game, but I don't believe it asked me to change anything in Firefox. Can anyone tell me either what the changes are or how to stop Firefox from requesting to make them?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Yesterday

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

I had Snow Leopard and upgraded to Mavericks, and did the various up-grades. Today when I went to open iPhoto, I got a message "iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it". Now what?

I had Snow Leopard, and up-graded to Mavericks, and did the various up-grades in iPhoto to become compatible with
Maverick. Today, when I tried to open iPhoto I got this message: "iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do
not have permission to make chages to it". Now what? I can't access my iPhoto Library.

First open the iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:'
Look for the file named iPhotoLock.data and move it to the Trash in the Dock. Launch iPhoto and see if that helped.
If not Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
