Permissions errors ...recurring or not fixed

Hi Folks,
I recently upgraded to 10.9. Overall it is working well.
But since i plan to make a clone, upgrade my drive (SSD) and clone back, i wanted to ensure all was well, so i repaired permissions. A huge list of errors was corrected .
I restarted and checked them. Several are back -- see below:
Permissions differ on “Applications”; should be drwxrwxr-x ; they are drwxr-xr-x .Repaired “Applications”Group differs on “Library/Application Support”; should be 80; group is 0.Repaired “Library/Application Support”Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
Any insight onto what's going on? Or since i have no syptems, whistle and be happy?

Liquify tool says write permissions error, how do i fix?

Liquify tool is the only thing I can't seem to use in Photoshop so far, it gives me a write permissions error...why? My permissions are set to read & write...

HI I have this same problem. I uninstalled Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014, reinstalled the latest Photoshop CC 2014 and now I am unable to use the liquify tool because I do not have "permission." I went in and double check that I have read and write permission, as well, I changed everyone to read and write permission and I still cannot use liquify. Help would be appreciated as no one from Adobe has contacted me even though I was promised a phone call yesterday.

Repairing Permissions and 2 Warnings not fixed, any idea why???

Everytime I try to repair permissions, I always get the following 2 warnings:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Everything else is repaired just fine except for these 2. is there anything I can do about it? Does it matter? Any ideas? Thanks for your help! Kevin

As Thomas says, just ignore such messages. After repairing permissions, the only thing of importance usually is that you receive a message that the permissions repair completed. [Here is a list of disk utility messages that can be safely ignored|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448].

I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question. I followed the instructions in this article:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one. I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable. So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal. Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal). I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.) And it fixed the problem right away.
What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do. It didn't mention Terminal. What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

Getting authorization error message: Required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.

I have recently purchased this MacBook used and am trying to authorize it on the iTunes Store but even after uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it with a fresh copy I'm getting this error message: "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed." And I have no idea of where or how to fix this issue. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I even tried to deauthorize this computer and got the same error message. HELP!

Is there anything to look out for here? What have I done wrong? Did I reformat my drive incorrectly? I chose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Tried also to fix permissions from the install disk but got the same errors.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hmm I haven't seen so many errors either.
the number of errors is not high at all. Leopard would very often produce at least 3 to 4 times as many.
It could have something to do with me running snow leopard on a Macbook Pro 2.16 core duo and not a core 2 duo... ?
no, that would not have anything to do with it. as i said, those are most likely just errors in the permissions database. as i said, leopard was notorious for those. snow leopard is not as bad but produces a number of them too. I just haven't seen this particular kind of messages before. reinstalling SL will fix them but it seems like a serious overkill in this case.

You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item fix.

So about 2 days ago after i downloaded and installed the iTunes update and when i tried to open it the next day it came up with
the error
"Windows can not access the specific device, file, or path. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item "and the parth was for c:\program files (x86)\itunes\itunes.exe.
But since I am the admin for my computer and only user thought it was weird. So look online and saw some topics but not a single one helped me. I gave access to all the folders, uninstalled everything apple and reinstalled still got the same error.
So I thougth it might be a virus or malware did a virus sacn nothing did a malware scan found some items removed them and still got the same error and even did system restore still same error.
I even made a new Admin accoung for my computer thinking mine had become corrupt but still same error. So I was at my wits end and had pretty much come to terms with the fact that I may not has access to itunes.
But i tried one last thing and this is the fix at least for me I installed itunes on an external hard drive then moved those files to my desktop. Here's excatly what i did.
1. I uninstalled itunes from my computer.
2. Plugged in external HD and made a new folder named it iTunes.
3. Ran iTunes setup and when it asked where to installed the files I chose my external HD which for me was the G drive and installed.
4. After iTunes was installed I viewed the files in my external HD and chose the iTunes folder and chose CUT.
5. I then pasted that to the desktop after that I just opened the folder and chose the iTunes applcation and to my surprise it opened with out a hitch.
You have to move the folder out of the external HD because if you don't and you unplug the HD it won't open unless the HD is plugged in.
Sorry for the supe long post but I just wanted to share my fix for this annoying problem so other people may try it and see if it works for them .

Firefox gives me an error and will not connect to the internet. How can I fix this?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled but Firefox will still not connect. It gives me the inital start error message of "not being able to connect" etc. I am able to use IE and there is no connectivity issues at all. How do I fix this? I really prefer Firfox!

AHA!!! I had the same problem with no answer so I started doing some research. Apparently people with McAfee and Norton were having similar problems so I started there. I opened my McAfee and went into the Web and Email Protection. Click on Firewalls; click on Program Permissions. Scroll down to find Firefox. If you're having the same problem I did, it will say blocked. Change to allow. That should solve it!! I wonder if MS paid McAfee!!?? Hope it helps!

Error -61 with FTP Write permissions error; Not a publisher

Hi,
I am trying to use Safari to FTP with my schools server (FreeBSD) but when I try to delete something I get error -61 which is FTP Write permissions error; Not a publisher. When I select "Get Info" I see the permissions say "You can only read". How can I fix this?

Hi Rob
so far as I know, Safari and/or Finder can only read from ftp sites - hence the response you are seeing.
I've used http://cyberduck.ch/ for a few years - there are many other free/sharewware ftp clients

10.5.2 fixes permissions errors

The 10.5.2 update appears to fix the permissions errors I was getting on my MacBook Pro (unable to open Photoshop, couldn't add/remove names to Address Book).
And despite other posts, not having a problem opening Entourage.

Same here.
From another post I just made:
SEEMS TO HAVE REPAIRED MY "UNKNOWN USER" issue as far as I can tell. My Applications Folder no longer shows the write-protected icon in the lower left corner and if I Get Info on the Applications folder all three permissions show correct now for the first time (I was getting two Unknown Users previously). One thing it did not change is that I am still assigned a 502 ID instead of 501 in the Accounts > Advanced Options - not sure if this is going to present a problem or not in the future?
For the first time "UPDATES" has appeared ACTIVE in my Adobe CS3 Apps and it actually self-launched for the first time in Leopard - so this must have been a permissions issue previously with the Unknown User as the suspect?

Forms Authentication Error: User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed

I created a custom security extension following the steps listed in the Readme_Security Extension Sample. It works fine if I login as the user that is specified AdminConfiguration section of the rsreportserver.config file but if I
log in as another user, I get this error: User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed. I've added the user to both System Administrator
and System User roles to try to get it to work but still no luck.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi MetronM,
The issue is due to that user have no permission to access the report server. In report manager, Reporting Services includes predefined roles that we can assign to users and groups to provide immediate access to a report server. Each role defines a collection
of related tasks.
You can refer to the following steps to assign corresponding role to the user.
Open report manager.
Click “Folder Setting” button.
Click “New Role Assignment” icon.
Type the user name and select the corresponding role.
There is an article about Granting Permissions on a Native Mode Report Server, you can refer to it.

Just got new air and trying to set up. When I put in my Apple ID and password it comes up with error message 'can't sign in because of server error. Try again signing on.' Trying again does not fix. I know my ID and PW are right as work on other devices.

HT201328 after unlocking from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this . Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

after unlocking over the phone from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this .
Itunes displays a message saying "there is no SIM installed in the phone you're trying to activate" even if there is the same SIM that was working minutes before.
The SIM works on a different phone I tested it.
Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

“Could Not Activate EDGE” error message Update ...
Well it’s going on day 6 and still sporadic to no EDGE on my iPhone. At one time, it was thought to be a defective iPhone – since my partner’s iPhone works just fine.
After over three hours on the land line with AT&T and Apple, I was sent to the local Apple store for a replacement. Of course, as soon as I walked into the Apple store my iPhone worked just fine. ;-( The local store replaced my iPhone and suggested I go home and activate the phone as a NEW iPhone, that way if there was a bug in my data it would not carry over to the new phone. Did that and well… still sporadic to no EDGE. By the way, I have the Big White “E” to the right of the 5 bars and AT&T .
AT&T said last week they has “Software” issues in my area, but the CSR I talked to did not know what the issues were or if they were the cause of my problems. He did say they would call me back today to see how my iPhone was doing, but alas, no call back.
When I’m next to my partner, trying to access the same feature, his iPhone is just so fast. Mine hangs up, draws out and finally I get the error message, “Could Not Activate EDGE”. I am updated to version “1.1.4(4A102)”. New (refurbished) iPhone direct from Apple.
I remember reading a while back about some problems others had when they upgraded to from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. I never had those problems, but it sure looks like they may have started. Does anyone remember what the problems with 1.1.4 were, what was done if anything to correct them, and best of all any suggestions?
By the way, this is Seattle, not some small – out of the way place where connection and signal strength is expected to be second rate. Also, I had full function of my iPhone from the day I bought it in June 2007, all the way up to Thursday March 20, at 2120.
Thanks
Joe
