PST file import from USB Stick - Win 7 to new Laptop message "You don't have permission to open this file"

Please help!!! I am simply trying to import a 6.5GB .pst file from my pen-drive back to my new Laptop. I have tried everything, importing via Outlook, Admin profile, unlocking access in file properties but to no avail.
Anyone got any ideas? I'm using Win 7 Office 2007.

Hi,
Try taking the ownership of the file.
BTW, this is forum for Exchange Server. You can also post the question to Windows Client forum:

You don't have permission to open this file.

I'm trying to add an Entity Data Model to a Project in Visual Studio 2013.
When I browse to the file to connect to it says
"You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner or administrator for permission."
When I go back to SQL Management Studio and check the Server Roles assigned to my user name, I'm listed as a sysadmin.
I clicked ALL the other server roles for good measure, but this does not help.
When I installed SQL Server 2012 I created another user on my computer to serve as the SQL Server Services Account for SQL Server Agent and SQL Server Database Engine.
I notice that this user shows up as the database owner for the database I'm trying to connect to, even though I was logged on using my user name when I created the database.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know much about Entity Data Model, but if you get an error about lack of permission for opening a file (what file?), SQL Server is probably not the right place to look for file permissions. SQL Server is about managing data in databases, not
files in the file system. For file-permission errors, you need to look in Windows. Or try starting Visual Studio with "Run as Administrator".

"you don't have permission to open this file" when trying to attach in firefox ONLY. Works in other browsers and windows permissions are wide open.

Only a problem in Firefox. Works in IE and Chrome. I went thru support ideas of checking windows permissions (wide open and the user is the owner), starting firefox in safe mode and uninstalled/reinstalled firefox. Same problem. Any file in My Documents gives the same error, so it is not file related. Any directory under My Documents works the same. I can move files to Desktop and then they attach fine.

As mentioned in the original post, the user IS the owner and the permissions are WIDE open for the user. I have also tried to disable the anti-virus - no luck. The problem is ONLY happening in Firefox. Chrome and IE work perfect. There is also no problem in Windows. The user can add/remove/edit files in the directory. Right now the solution seems to be to use Chrome. I'm not excited about that, but at this point, the only option.

Error while collecting files in AE CS3 - You do not have permission to open this file (-54)

I've got a rather large project that I'm attempting to collect. 35,000+ files to collect (lots of image sequences as footage), totaling near 80GB. The collect process starts and copies files for a while, but inevitably errors out during the copy procedure with the error "You do not have permission to open this file" -- a different file each attempt.
I'd read some complaints of a similar error last year due to QT 7.4, but I'm on the current Quicktime (7.6.4).
Anyone seen this before? What can I do!? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Well, we're just a small shop, but since it usually falls upon me to administrate, here's a few general tips:
Hide all resources that are not meant to be accessed by certain people. This can be done easily by using different sub-nets on your network and defining access privileges. Write down the network MAC addresses and use a whitelist/ blacklist. A bit of work initially, but a lot safer than working with user names.
Forget about individual user privileges. At one point or another everyone will bump into situations where they cannot access stuff, but need it for their work. Simply ramp up all users to Power User status, but assign individual groups to them which only you can manage. That leaves it up to you to define who can access what, but without having to dig so deep that you always end up with individual adjustments. You merely add or remove users from groups (which is more practical for interns and freelancers, even)
Quota can do miracles for you. If a user only has x GB of storage available, he'll quickly learn to not create redundant data by copying files.
Prevent all local storage. Artists have a tendency to offline files at whim for experimentation and then forget about it. Give them a "garbage dump" directory on the server instead where they can store their private data and any non-persistent work files, but with quota. Use server-side desktops and user home directories, if possible, but unfortunately many programs cause problems with that (including Adobe's), so it's not always an option.
For each new project, create a pre-defined folder structure. We e.g. use number_clientname_worktype_year for the root, and inside have directories for compositing, 3D stuff, print, client data etc.. Define it so from the getgo, that specific structures like project directories for 3D programs with their sub-folders for textures etc. are in place, but users cannot create additional folders. When they are forced to use existing folders, they will be much more careful in naming their files.
Define versioning rules and naming conventions. Now "siginificant milestone" is a matter of view, but I at least try to create new version files for that. So if e.g in the morning I open up a comp project and change a few things in it that take more than 10 minutes to reproduce, this is significant and a new version is safed. I don't care much for simple things like adding effects - I can reproduce them in a wee in case of crashes or data loss - but complex masking, elaborate 3D modeling, dynamics simulations etc. qualify.
Of course back up every day, at least incrementally. If following the above rules, this can be as easy as copying the project folder to an external disk.
As for the rest - simply be hard-nosed. Your artists will whine and complain for a while, but they will get used to it and eventually see the wisdom in a regulated system. It's also up to you to brief them accordingly and remind them from time to time.

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.

Download the right version here:

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.

You don't have permission to mount the file

I am trying to install
Microsoft 60-day Evaluation of Office Professional Plus 2013
I download the file but I get the error message
You don't have permission to mount the file

Hi,
This problem may occur for one or more of the following reasons:
A USB media reader device is attached to the computer.
Removable media is mounted in the computer.
The .iso file that you are trying to mount is a sparse file.
To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods.
Resolution 1
Copy the ISO file to a new file by saving it to a different folder or giving it a different name.
This should remove the sparse attribute and enable the file to be mounted.
Resolution 2
If you have a flash media reader or any removable media, try to eject the removable media. Then, reassign the drive letters in such a manner that you leave a lower drive letter available to mount the ISO image. The file might not behave correctly if it has
an assigned drive that follows other drives.

You don't have permission to save the file "***" in the folder "Users"

I changed name of Home folder according to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1428?viewlocale=en_US
Everything was OK, but today I switch on Aperture 3, and when I'm trying to import some pictures, I have this message: 'You don't have permission to save the file "cichy" in the folder "Users".'... "cichy" is previous name of my Home folder. Any solution, how I can fix it?

Thanks for quick answerr. Unfortunately I have OS X 10.8.4 - in article are 10 steps for OS X 10.5 or later, and 43 steops for OS X 10.4.11 and earlier... I didn't do step 28 - should I do the instructions for KeyChain?

Mount vhdx: You don't have permission to mount the file

The user has all modify permissions on the vhdx file that was created through Hyper-V. When double clicking or right-click mount the vhdx file the error message "You don't have permission to mount the file".
Which permissions should be set to mount a vhdx file?

Hi Adm1nMikeW,
Please try to use disk management --> action --> attach VHD (this way will avoid the error message).
The root cause is the attribute "nodefaultdriveletter" of the backup vhd was not set to "no".
You can try following setps :
1. in cmd prompt type diskpart
2. recognize the problematic volume you want to set via list volume
3. run command select volume "volume number"
4. run command attributes volume clear nodefaultdriveletter
then detach it and reattach the disk again .
Hope this helps
Best Regards

After QT7.4, AE error-you do not have permissions to open this file (-54)

Immediately after installing the QT 7.4 update, I have been unable to render (anything) in After Effects.
I get an error: After Effects error: opening movie - you do not have permissions to open this file (-54)
(44::53)
I have repaired permissions, downloaded the Full QT 7.4 installer, reinstalled, repaired permissions again and still the same problem. Something has changed in QT that has made AE incompatible.
Apple, please fix or offer some assistance on how to fix.
The AE forums are also beginning to fill with everyone having this same issue after an update to QT 7.4
My work has come to a halt. How do I fix this?
I can't find any info on reverting back to QT 10.3.1

"Apple, please fix or offer some assistance on how to fix."
Apple does not read these postings. These are user to user forums whereas everyday folks post questions & offer help to each other.
"How do I fix this?"
Check out Klaus1 possible solution in the following thread:

"I can't find any info on reverting back to QT 10.3.1"
You really mean 7.3.1 right?
Do an archive and install of your OS from the OS disc. Stop at the QT upgrade you need.

Error/warning message "you don't have permission to modify files in this network location"

Hi,
We have a windows server 2008 running, and we access it via remote desktop. And there's this certain folder that all users access, and where we save important files. So, since this is where important files are stored, we wanted to disable deletion (and if
possible moving) of the folder and everything under it. However, it's harder than i thought. Right now, we have the permissions "Delete" and "Delete files and subfolders" disabled already, BUT when we try to save a file to this folder,
we got this warning/error message:
"You don't have permission to modify files in this network location"
The file is saved however, but there's no content. But when we try to cut/copy an existing file to this folder, it works.
Does anyone know how a workaround on this issue. I've already spent days configuring the settings, and when one works, another issue comes up. This is really frustrating.
Thank you.

Hi,
What are NTFS Permissions and Share Permissions of the shared folder? If you remove delete permissions, when someone tried to create a new folder, they couldn't rename it. Without Delete permission, we can open, modify a file and save with the same file name
but cannot create a new file with a new name.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
NTFS Permissions Question - Allow creation but not deletion

You do not have permissions to open this file on Excel Services.

Hi all,
I am recieving this error:
I have setup a trusted location to the document library where the Excel spreadsheet resides, and I still recieved the error. I changed the location to the entire site and I still recieve the error. I am the Sharepoint Admin, so I have full
rights to all.
I am on SharePoint 2007.
I set the location as Http://sitename/document Library name
Location type = Windows SP Services
Checked trust Children
there are no extrernal connections so I took the defaults for all other options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Joe

Hi,
I understand that when you try to open an excel file in browser, you received Access Denied error. You can check the excel service settings in Central Administration like this :
Open Central Administration -> go to Operations tab. Ensure that the Excel Service is running
Open Central Administration -> go to your configured Shared Service -> click Excel Service Settings. Set File Access Method: ensure that it is not using Impersonation, instead the Option Process Account should be enabled.
Open Central Administration -> go to your configured Shared Service -> click add new trusted file location.
field URL: here you can specify a report library or the whole portal
Location Type: should be Windows SharePoint Services
Children trusted: defines whether the children should also be trusted or only the defined path
For more information, please refer to this site:

TM error, "You don't have permission to acces some files"

Hi,
I recently formated my Imac uploading Tiger OS to Snow Leopard 10.6.6
After that I can't restore copies from TM.
TM says an error, something like " you don't have permissions to copy that files".
Any idea.
Thanks for help

Why install Tiger?
You still haven't said exactly what you did, but it appears you now have different user accounts than the ones you backed-up, so they don't have access to the "other" user accounts' backups.
To restore your Time Machine backups, see #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

Lion - deleting files on TC - The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.

I am trying to delete some files from my Time Capsule (2TB) but I keep getting this error:
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
How do I solve this?
Thanks,
Jonathon

is the file faded and unable to be opened? i was transferring files from an old external hard drive to a time capsule, it stopped half way through and now refuses to delete the interupted folder because i dont have the correct permissions.

You dont have permission to open this file

I worked on a .psd in Photoshop like normal. All of a sudden I couldn't save my changes, saying I needed to change permissions or something. So I closed it and tried to open it again, and now I can't. It says I don't have permission. :/

I looked at the first url you linked and got onto Log in using built in-administrator | Create local administrator account | Windows 7, 8, Vista, went through:
Choose Start, right-click Computer, and select Manage.
But I couldn't proceed onto the second thing on that list, as ' Local Users and Groups' is missing from that list. :/!
Edit: Also, now the file has gone missing! This with a file gone missing has happened once before for me and it's not fun!!! One second it's there and the other it's not.

Upgrade from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3 "you do not have permission to access this resource"

trying to upgrade from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3 on my iPhone 5 but gives me the msgs "you do not have permission to access ths resource"? I don't have any programs running in background and even trying to restore to factory, still won't allow me!!!

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
This is always a good firstvstep to try. After your iPhone restarts try to update again over the air.
