When I try to copy a file to a certain folder, it asks me to "authenticate" before it will allow me to copy the file

I have gone in to the folder's permissions and I am able to read and write. How do I set it up to allow me to make changes without having to "authenticate"?
Thanks,

That sounds like a problem with the user the iPad is connecting as
I seem to remember iOS pages, keynote etc storing the user login info, and having to completely remove the stored login info from the device
if a different user wanted to use a device another user had connected to WebDAV, or password changes.
Quite a while since I looked at this, things may have changed with latest ios pages versions
Unfortunately I can't remember how to remove the stored user login info
Try comparing the server logs when you connect with the windows box and the iPad
There are WebDAV file browsing apps in the App Store, try one of those on the iPad
If you can connect with it, it's probably pages etc storing a user login with an error in it
if not perhaps it's a network problem vlan segregation, firewall, subnet etc etc

I've been struggling with a similar issue myself and just figured it out. Some of my content had been purchased with an older Apple ID that I don't use any more. When I authorized my second computer, I only authorized it for my new Apple ID, not my old one. When I tried to copy my library to the new computer, many songs, apps, etc. reported the error "could not be copied because this computer is not authorized". It drove me crazy because I knew the computer was authorized and much of my library came over just fine.
Finally I selected some of the problem items, selected "Get Info" from the menus, and saw that they were all purchased by my old Apple ID. I then authorized my old Apple ID on my new computer, and all of my files are copying correctly now.
Would be great if the message said something like "...because this computer is not authorized for Apple ID [email protected]"

When I try and copy a picture from this PDF the dimentions are reversed

I have this pdf of a map for a dungeons and dragons game I'm playing with some friends. The pictures on the pages are (for some reason) split into smaller pictures that I want to stitch together in photoshop late, but whenever I try and copy an image it switches the dimensions. Here: Dropbox - Thunderspire Demon Well.pdf is the offending pdf and here is an album of what happens when i try and copy the pictures: Messed up - Imgur.
I have no idea what to do, please help or suggest another solution to get the images.

Try taking a screenshot and then pasting it in PS and editing it there.

Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
Who can help me??
Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
- make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
- do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
- perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
- make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
- after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
Still, I will go through the other tips too.
(will post progress)

Error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card

I am recieving an error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card. The message is saying "operation cannot be completed because an item already exists with that name." They are brand new therefore not the same name? I cannot even put them in a brand new folder... How can I fix this?
Please help me!

You don't need to recover the system.
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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
dot_clean -m
Switch to the Finder and drag the icon of the flash drive into the Terminal window. Some text will appear after what you entered. Press return.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. Then quit Terminal and try the copy again.

When I try to copy files from my computer (just pics) to my iPhone's media folder via Finder under 10.7, I get this error...

I'm using MacFuse to connect via Finder. It worked before, even on 10.7. But since I cannected th eiPhone to my Windows 7 dual boot partition, now it won't work! Maybe it was just a coincidence, not sure. Just returns this error:
"The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)."
I get this one when I try to copy files OFF of the iPhone:
"The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8072)."
Sounds like a permissions error to me. So I fixed permissions on my Mac with disc utility, but same problem. Then chmod with terminal the media folder. Did nothing. So I can't change permissions, and they're not broken. What could've happened? I'm like, locked out of my device!

Repair Apple Application Support.
START/CONTROL PANEL/PROGRAMS N FEATURES/highlight APPLE APPLICATION SUPPORT, then click the REPAIR button

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

Help! Error 36 When I try and copy files to my external drive

Yesterday morning I discovered that I can't copy files from my desktop to my external hard-drive. The last time I performed this action was Saturday afternoon were all worked as normal, and to the best of my knowledge I've changed nothing on my system since then.
When I try to drag a file from the desktop to a folder on the external drive I get the message
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “X” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)
The external drive is the drive I use for my iTunes music files, and I've discovered this morning that I cannot import a CD to iTunes, however I can burn a playlist from iTunes to a CDr.
I'm using an iMac, and the external drive is a Western Digital 1TB (Journaled HFS+) connected via firewire.
I've seen references to similar issues through Google searches, but no definitive answer, can anyone help?

I/O error -36 bummers!
It could mean that there are bad blocks on the disk. Backup everything on that external disk now, if you don't already have it. Unmount and disconnect the external. A -36 error could also be just a poorly connected cable, or a bad cable or port. Remove all cables and reconnect making sure the connections are tight.

HT2932 When I try to save a file from my GarageBand to my PC it keeps giving me a error message . Message says could not be copied because error occurred. The file cannot be found. Any suggestions?

When I try to save a file from my GarageBand to my PC it keeps giving me a error message . Message says could not be copied because error occurred. The file cannot be found. Any suggestions?

I was trying to upload from my iPad to my pc.
That was hard for us to guess, from your post It might have helped to mention the iPad.
How are you trying to save the song to your PC? Are you sending the song to iTunes? If yes, as a project or as an audio file? Make sure, you select "AAC" and not "GarageBand", when you share the song from your iPad.
If the clip is not too large, you might alternately try to share it by mail, see:
Share GarageBand songs

Go to the songs view sorted as Album by Artist. Select, for example, the songs of artists whose names begin A-E. Right-click and click consolidate files. Assuming this group consolidate without error move on to another group, say F-J. If there is an error divide the original group into smaller chunks until you can isolate which tracks are causing a problem.

My photostream in windows 7 PC does not shows any pic. when i click on slide show it start showing me slide shows of pic but when i try to copy files i cant do as no photo is viewd in list mode. This problem has arised since IOS is updated.I reinstalled my icloud and checked if icloud sharing is ON. I can see pic in my photo stream in PC only in slide show mode. While in list mode it shows pics before i actually click on photostream folder. My phone memory is out becose of bunch of photoes. How do i copy my photostream photoes.

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…
