Why a program doesn't have permission to delete file on server when I can

Hi
I am running an image cataloguer to manage an image collection on a server. I mount the server share point on my desktop. The cataloguer has a function to delete file(s), but I receive the message that it doesn't have the permission, but I can delete the file from the Finder.
I checked that the program is running with my UID.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance

If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions to update then easiest is to 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 DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.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
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Don't have permission to delete files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3

    Help!
    I'm unable to delete image files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3.
    Workflow:
    1. Take a bunch of photos on my Nikon
    2. Load them to my MacBook Pro, 10.6.3
    3. Open them in Preview and right-click "Move to Trash" on the photos that I don't want.
    ==> this results in "Move to Trash Failed. Some files could not be moved to Trash."
    4. If I open the bunch of photos in Adobe Bridge CS3 and command-delete the photos that I don't want
    ==> I get "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions."
    I am logged in as the same user who loaded the image files.
    Permission on the image folder start out at
    me: Read & Write
    admin: Read only
    everyone: Read only
    but even if I change all to Read & Write, I still get the same errors.
    What's going on?????
    Thanks.

    Did you ever figure this one out? I'm having the same issue...

  • Why do I get prompted for permission to delete files or change file names?

    One of several users (my wife) on our iMac has recently started getting prompted for the administrator password to delete, rename or perfrom other operations on files in her home directory.  I suspect a corrupt set of user configurations files.  How can I fix this?

    Remove the ACLs from files/folders in her home folder. Log in to an admin account and enter the following in Terminal:
    sudo chmod -R -N ~wife
    (where "wife" is your wife's account's short name)

  • Outlook 2010 cannot save to archive folders listed. Message says that message was already moved or that user doesn't have permission.

    Hi,
    Does this issue occur when you manually archive items in Outlook, do you drag them into the archive folder?
    The first thing I wonder is if the .pst file has been corrupted, please run Scanpst.exe to repair the archive .pst file:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227/en-us
    Please logon your Webmail(owa), check if the emails are available. If the emails have been moved and Outlook Client hasn't synced yet, this issue may occur as well.
    We can also create a new .pst file to archive the file, check if the issue persists.
    For more information, we can refer to Archive items manually:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/archive-items-manually-HA010355564.aspx
    When you browse to the archive file in step 5, type in a new .pst file name.
    If my understanding is not accurate, please detail your scenario and provide the exact error message.

  • Can I force my computer to ignore the fact that it doesn't have 'permission' to change certain files and compress them anyway?

    I'm trying to compress everything on my external USB hard disk using the File> Compress Items option in the Finder. However, every time I try this, it thinks for a little while and then tells me it can't do it because it doesn't have 'permission' to edit such-and-such a file. I have gone into the 'Get Info' panel for the hard disk and tried changing the permissions to read & write for my own account, 'staff', and 'everyone', checked the checkbox for 'Ignore ownership on this volume', and chosen 'Apply to enclosed items...' from the little gear/cog menu under 'Sharing & Permissions' section of the 'Get Info' panel. I have also tried sending the problematic files to the trash, but every time I do so, when I select 'Compress items' again, it just finds more files that it doesn't have 'permission' to edit. I cannot 'repair disk permissions' from disk utility, and when I select 'repair disk', it says that there is nothing wrong.
    There is no reason that I shouldn't have 'permission' to edit these files. They are all my own documents and photos etc, or ones that have been downloaded from the internet. The computer is not connected to any kind of network, and there is only one user account on the computer, which is an 'administrator' type account.
    My question is -- how do I bypass this 'permissions' problem? Is there a way to 'force' compress, like when there is a problem emptying the trash and you can choose to 'Force Empty Trash'?
    Thanks in advance for any aid or advice,
    lsrw.

    You caant get the'a from he'a. 
    You could have it wake at 2:55 and then shutdown at 3:00 but then it won't wake in the morning.
    Not shure why you want to shut down instead of sleep.  It uses only a small amount energy sleeping with the display off.  It would probably use more energy to have it wake up in the morning before you get there than to have it sleep all night.
    If you are having battery issues you should replace the battery.  I have seen it stated elsewhere in this community as batteries go bad they can damage the system.  Your's might not be near that state but you should consider replacing it.
    With it plugged in there should be no difference in the charge on the battery whether it is sleeping or shutdown.  It charges in both states and maintains a full charge while plugged in.

  • HT2534 why my itunes doesn't have the none button on payment type?

    why my itunes doesn't have the none button on payment type?

    I haven't gotten anywhere, unfortunately. 
    Just to confirm we're having the same problem: I'm using a 4th generation iPod touch and I'm using the Nike+ iPod app to link to the Nike+ Sensor that goes in the insert in the shoe.
    After I finish a workout, I click "Send to Nike+" which switches to Safari and loads nikeplus.com.  I log in and... it doesn't seem to do anything else...  Nothing shows up on nikeplus.com.
    Has this pretty much been your experience as well?

  • You have signed in to an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this documents

    Hi,
    All my Pages and Numbers documents on iCloud.com have suddenly become impossible to open. On iCloud.com (from IE10 or Google Chrome 40/Win 8) their file names appear scrambled (encrypted?) and if I try to open them I get this error message: "You have signed in to an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this documents". I can still open the files with Pages (2.5.2) and Numbers (2.5.2) on my iPad 2 (iOS 8.2). I haven't tried to access from my Macs.
    I have tried to disconnect Pages on my iPad from iCloud, delete all files from Pages on iCloud.com, and reactivate the iCloud sync on my iPad. The files are uploaded but I still have the same problem.
    I should say that I also cannot access my iCloud Drive ("Can't load iCloud Drive. There was a problem loading the application") or Photos (same error message).
    The problem seems to be fairly recent as I have worked on my documents on iCloud.com for weeks without any problem (last successful access two days ago).
    Since my last successful access I have updated my iPad to iOS 8.2 and modified a few Pages files from it.
    Does anyone now what the problem might be?

    Goto settings, iCloud, click on your user account at the top, login with your password, if you can successfully login, you will see your files are no longer encrypted. I had this issue when I upgraded to 8.2 on my iPad, for some reason I had access to iCloud drive, but the files were encrypted, it never prompted that something was wrong with my token.
    Cheers

  • You're signed into an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this spreadsheet.

    Running Safari Version 8.0.3 (10600.3.18) on MacBook Pro with Yosemite Version 10.10.2 (14C109).
    I have one spreadsheet in Numbers on iCloud.com. I do not have Numbers installed on my Mac, I just use Numbers (Beta) on the iCloud.com website. I don't need nor want Numbers installed locally on my Mac for my purposes. I made this spreadsheet when I first installed Yosemite, a couple months ago.
    This morning, I edited the spreadsheet, then tapped on the margin to clear the editing tools. The spreadsheet saved. I closed it, and saw that it updated the date in Numbers on iCloud.
    This evening, I restarted my Mac, restarted Safari, logged in on iClout and went to Numbers. I noted that the time was correct, but the spreadsheet name was corrupted. I tried to open it, and got a message: "You're signed into an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this spreadsheet."
    Well, that is hogwash. I have one Apple ID and one iCloud ID. I am already signed into the iCloud.com account via Safari and the correct username is displayed.
    I logged out, cleared Safari cache, quit Safari, then went back on. Same problem, spreadsheet name was corrupted and the message popped up when I tried to open it.
    I have done some searching and have found some others who had a similar problem, yet no answers.
    Does anyone know what is going on or how to fix?

    Hey FatFingerDan,
    It looks like you were accessing iCloud around Mar 11, 2015.
    Is it working now?  There were some system issues last Wednesday. You can check System Status at

    Note you can scroll back on the Detailed Timeline by clicking the back button to see some previous days.
