Permission To Open File Denied...Help

We were in my wife's account. Brought some pictures in using Image Capture, saved the pics to a folder to an internal SATA drive on my Mac Pro.
Logged out of her account, logged into mine, went to open pics and it said "You Do Not Have Permission to Open.....etc."
Chose "Get Info" on the entire photo folder, entered my administrator password, changed permissions to "Read and Write."
Restarted Mac.
Permissions still say "Read and Write" but I am still getting the same "You Do Not Have Permission to Open" dialog.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Tom

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.
Best,
Sara

MacBook disk full and no permission to open files after factory restore??

Ok, so my sister was giving me her laptop, so she backs up on her hard drive and we did the restore using the har drive and it worked fine, like it was before. But because it was suppose to become mine I wanted it restored as new. I can't remeber hhow how how I restored it the second time but it took a few hours But my sister decide to keep her laptop. Anyway, now her laptop won't let her download anything because it says 'disk space full' when she has well over 400gb left buti also see it says she has about 600,000 files. Also, her mbp won't let me open her documents or anything staying we don't have permission.

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

Restore ipod button in iTunes gives open file dialog - HELP!

I have an iPod touch which is non-working. When I plug it in to my mac, I get the message: "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
So in iTunes, I click the restore button. At that point, support docs say that I should be prompted to enter an admin password, but I'm not. All I get is a file open dialog box. Is it prompting me to find some backup file for my iPod? I don't know, but I don't have any such file. I have no idea what file I should be opening supposedly. I just want to restore my iPod to default factory settings. How do I do this?
Thanks

Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

Permission error opening FCPX event

We're running FCPX (10.0.9) on an iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X 10.8.5 and when attempting to open an event we get the following error: Permission error opening [file name] CurrentVersion.fcpevent.
FCPX does not respond despite allowing an hour or more to load. We have done the following troubleshooting:
Deleted the following 2 Plist files under Go > Library > Preferences
com.apple.FinalCut.LSSharedFileList.plist
com.apple.FinalCut.plist
Deleted the Layouts folder under Go > Library > Application Support > Final Cut Pro
Used Disk Utility to repair the drive holding the file. --- No errors found
Ran DiskWarrior to repair any problems with the drive. --- No errors found
Created a new user on the computer to test FCPX and the event would still not open.
Has anyone encountered this? If so, can someone suggest a solution?

Hi
I had this problem and have just solved it.
I was logging in as a different user and the permissions on the folders containing the library - and of the library itself - were set to Read Only for all users except the admin user that created them.
To fix, highlight the library, and select "Get Info" from the Finder File menu (cmd-I).
At the bottom of the info box you can select read & write access for all users. You may have to click on the padlock in the corner and enter an admin name and password to allow the change.
Do this for any folders the library is in and the library itself.
This worked for me, hopefully it will work for you too.

My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

My iTunes won't open! It keeps saying 'The iTunes Library.itl is locked on a locked disk or you not have write permission for this file.' Please Help!

this may happen on external drives if:
The external drive was hotpluged (removed) without going the correct "eject" way
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for external drive
Close iTunes
Unmount (eject) external drive the right way.
Mount drive again
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up" This will force the filesystem to rescan the file structure of the drive and rebuilding the file system table and journaling file.
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive) restart iTunes
If your iTunes library is on your internal drive, this may happen
The system was not shoot down correct, e.g. "pulled the plug"
The iTunes library (database) got corrupted
First Aid for internal hard drive
Close iTunes
Reboot system
Go to Workplace -> right click external drive -> choose "clean up"
After the tool shows "done" (could last some time depending on size of drive)
Reboot system, restart iTunes
If none of the above fixes your problem, post here.

I cannot open files - they come up with an error opening this file - access denied. Help!

All my adobe files are now the same - they will not open at all - access denied with no reason other than an error! Help!

Hi - Strangely enough the files opened the very next time I tried! It
must be my fickle computer! My Adobe is quite new so I do not think it is
outdated.
Thanks for the reply anyway - I will plough on.
Cheers -Patti

I've just opened iTunes on my Mac with an error "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.". I created a shirred library so that all users on my Mac can access the same library. Help?

I have just opened ITunes on my Mac and the following error occurred "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.". When I setup my Mac I created a shared user area to contain my ITunes library so that I could share it with another user logged onto my Mac. However the error above gives me the impression that the library file is locked... I've checked and it does not seem to be locked under the "get info" fie information. Has anyone come across this before and found a solution?

You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter. That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.

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

Install with Pacifist

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.

Hi there, can anyone please help? Download itunes and it says The Itunes library .itl file is locked, or on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

Holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening. That will bring up the 'choose iTunes library' dialog. Select 'Choose LIbrary' from the choices and navigate to your music folder and iTunes music folder.
Or refer to this article:

I had a new hard drive fitted to my imac and restored it from my time machine back when I try to open itunes I get this message "the itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"

I had a new hard drive fitted to my imac and restored it from my time machine back up on an external hard drive when I try to open itunes I get this message "the itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"

To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!
