The operation cannot be completed because it is in use
i have a macbook with yosemite running.I also have a wdtv live with a 1tb hdd on it.I could transfer files from my mac to the hdd over wifi with no problem till i upgraded to yosemite.It tells me when i transfer a large file the operation cannot be completed because it is in use.Small files can be transferred with no problem at all.When i transfer them through direct usb to the hdd no problem at all.What can be the solution to this problem???
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

I have recently dropped Earthink as me dial-up provider. I now am using Virgin Mobile Broadband2GO. I was using Safari. I am now using Yahoo! Mail Plus. It suggested I switch to Firefox. I had an older version of Firefox (2.0.0.6) and started using it. It suggested I needed to upgrade because many of the newer web sites wouldn't work well on this older version. I downloaded the newer version and proceeded with the installation and it would tell me this: '''The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.''' I have re-downloaded and tried it again two more times. I haven't a clue what that means or what to do about it.

Whille copying error ""The operation cannot be completed because you do ...
Hi there I read a lot of post regarding this problem, I have some files that I copied from a USB drive that I can't copy since I have the error "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." when I try to copy them to another disk (trying different disks there is no difference)
Right-click on the file and choose *Get Info*. At the bottom of the window you will see *Sharing & Permissions*. Click on the lock and enter you password. If your name is there change the permission to Read & Write. If not, add your name to the list and make sure it's set to Read & Write. You should now have access.

I performed a clean install of Lion, then upgraded to Yosemite. Now, i am trying to restore files and programs from my backup in my time capsule but when i connect to the backup folder i receive this error message "The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "backup" cannot be found.
I previously had mavericks installed and was able to backup and restore just fine. I do believe that within the time since i last performed a backup or restore there was an update for the time capsule that i ran using my iPhone. I need a solution to this issue.Yosemite can take a very long time to index the backup.. and it seems to be impossible in my own testing to get back beyond the latest one.
If you cannot manage a migration.. which I guess is what you are trying to do.. see if you can do a full restore to a USB drive plugged into your computer. -
I try to drag the app into the applications folder where an old app of firefox exists and it asks me if I want to replace it and after i say yes it gives me the operation cannot be completed message.

The previous version of Firefox is still on and operational. I get this message when I try to drag the Firefox icon to the application file icon. Since this is my computer, and I am the administrator, I don't know what privileges I lack, or on which items. If there is a way to correct this I would like to do so and activate the new version. It looks like the new version is 7.0.1 for Mac OS. This happens everytime I try to load the new version by dragging the icon.

This is a MBP 13" Retina with flash drive. It is only a few weeks old. Problem started in last few days. I ran check and fix permissions in Disk Utiliity. Also made sure the folder with all my photographs has RW permission for me through Finder > Get Info > Sharing & Permissions. None of this helped.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select ▹ Restart from the menu bar. -

I am trying to empty my trash...and can't. I keep getting the above error message. How do I correct this? How do I empty my trash??
Help!! And thanks.well ....
You can try one more thing: Put the folder on the root directory on the external drive, then boot the Mac in Single user mode and enter a Unix command (rm) to get rid of the folder.
BUT!! Using 'rm' from single user mode can wipe out your entire drive, OS, data, everything if it is done improperly. I would not want to recommend you do that ...
How close are you to an Apple Store? You could make an appointment with a Genius at the local Apple Store, take in the external drive, and ask them to delete the folder. That is "overkill", but it is safer than sending you into Single User Mode and running unix commands that could do irreversible damage if done wrong.
One other thing you can try: Open Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility. Select the external drive, then run Repair Permissions on the external drive. When that completes, move the folder to the trash and use the Option Empty Trash technique that we tried above:
- Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
- Press and hold the Option key.
- Select Empty Trash from the context menu for Trash.
- Release the Option key.
Good luck. Sorry I don't have the magic bullet to solve this on the first try. (jk) -
I am running 10.5.8 on a quad core 3.0 GHz Mac Pro. Have 2 GB RAM, and 2TB Hard drive with 538 GB space remaining. Have never had this dialog happen before.
I assume you are attempting to install a newer version of Firefox?
It seems the solution is:
# Download a new version of Firefox to your Desktop.
# Delete the current version in your Applications folder.
# Install the newly downloaded version.
Note: Your bookmarks and other data will not be affected.
