Why don't I have enough permision

I seem to have not enough permission to save on to my desktop and many internal folders including my external harddrive.
I have already used Disk Utility and used Repair Disk Permission...
I'm a little reluctant to gut everything on my hard drive and reinstall the operating system.. or rebuilt the pram if thats causing it...
And as the Apple store told me to buy Diskwarrior instead of Norton this isn't helping much either...
I own a Powerbook G4 550Mhz running OS 10.3.9 and willnot upgrade as I like using OS9. I have a G5 which is running OS10.4 and this doesn't have enough permission either.
Any help would be gratefully received...

Under system preferences - accounts... I changed my name and short name and erased old user accounts.. (although should have reinstalled the OS and input my new username there).
Its just that when I transfer an illustration or animation onto a server or upload it to the net my username arrives within the file. No matter how hard you try to rename your username, on websites you can trace the original creator. Bit of pickle but its possible.
My trouble now is on my external server I have filled about 130GB's or my stuff thats all gone to 'unknown' and 'read only'... I've changed the ownership & permissions (cmd & I) to 'ignore ownership on this volume' and this still has no effect on permission...
I'm wasting time typing passwords just to copy my work from my laptop to my external when I'm the addministrator... (although I could login as ROOT)...
Many thaks again Matt and thanks 'euu' - I'll check the articles..

Why don't I have enough storage?

Hello,
Recently I've been trying to download an app that waste 1.36 GB. It will not let me download. It says I don't have enough storage to download. I checked and it says I have 3 GB available.
I have deleted everything except my music that waste 356 MB. I have deleted all my photos and it still says I have 38.7 MB for photo stream. There are no photos in photo stream.
That is all I have on my iPod. And it says I have 3.4 GB used. I find it odd because I only have 394.7 MB or am I wrong?
But, my iPod is not jailbroken.
I should be able to download the app that waste 1.36 GB and I have 3.0 GB available.
Please help, thank you.

To free up the space Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Syncing with your conmputer
- Restoring from backup.
To download/install an app you need about three times the files download size available on your iPod. For your 1.36 GB app that means about 4 GB.

Do you have administrator privileges on your computer?

Why don't I have enough memory on Nokia 6230?

Hi: I have a Nokia 6230 and sync it regularly with my computer. I have about 700 contacts and sync a relatively full calendar from one week ago to two weeks in advance. A to-do list also synchronizes. I regularly get the following error on my computer: [Nokia 6230] The phone calendar is full. Please delete some calendar events on your phone or change the filtering options and synchronize again. And, I regularly get a "to-do memory full" error on my phone. However, the memory status on my phone says: Phone: Free memory 6.1 MB Used memory 1.2 MB Memory card: Free memory 24.5 MB Used memory 5.9 MB Size 30.2 MB As you can see, both memories are only partially used yet I get constant errors regarding lack of memory. Contacts settings are set to use "Phone and SIM". Memory Status for Contacts reads Phone: 30% free, 70% used, SIM Card 250 free, 0 in use. How can I use the phone's memory more efficiently? Thanks,

Yes, Charlie is right. With any OS, the listed minimum RAM is always enough to just barely run it. In practice, this is rarely ever enough, because as soon as you add the demands of software etc it can't keep up. I am impressed you can manage at all, quite honestly. (Smiles)
What really impresses me, however, is that someone was actually selling computers with 1G of RAM 2 years ago. Four years ago I bought a cheapish Windows laptop, and the choice was btwn 2 or 4G. I have since worn it out (did I mention cheap?), and have inherited a four year old MacBook Pro. It came stock with 2G, so I upped it to 4G. It walks like my grannie, and I do all my 'real' work on an iMAC with 16G. Most people these days buy 8G.
The problem you may have with upgrading is that your board is probably old, too. If you do purchase a new one, ask around in here regarding specs.. and don't buy one from the person who sold you that one! (chuckles)

I have purchased additional iCloud space. It shows I still have space, however my iPad mini shows I don't have enough space for the update for ios7. My photos are in the cloud, I guess, so why don't I have enough space?

If I delete photos on my iPad mini, can I still see them in iCloud storage? How do I free up more space on my iPad without removing photos?

If you delete photos from your iPad, they will also be deleted from iCloud and you'll lose them. Also, having additional iCloud space won't give you any more space on your device. You can't move any data to iCloud and delete it from your device. All you iCloud data is also on you device, and if you delete it from your device, it is also deleted from iCloud.
One option to free up space for the update is to delete the music from your iPad, then sync it back using iTunes after you update. (You can delete it all by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, then tap Music>Edit, then tap next to All Music.)
Also, if you purchsed the iCloud storage upgrade in the last 15 days thinking you chould use it to free up space on your iPad, you can call the Apple online store for your country and get a refund (1-800-MY-APPLE in the U.S. and Canada.)

Why don't I have the 'new from templates' option in Indesgin CS6?

Why don't I have the 'new from templates' option in Indesgin CS6? I only have three options under 'new', document, book or library. No template option as attached ...
Please help.
Many thanks,
Jeannette

This is still pretty annoying. Some of us actually make, and use our own templates. For example, I do tons of product mockups in my day to day and I have a series of basic templates laid out that I use for including the mock up image and the various specifications for each product. It's been super easy, in CS4, to choose file / new from template and just pop my template open. It was even nifty enough that Bridge would redirect to my templates folder for me.
Sure, I know I can still save my templates to another folder and use them as I always have, but the question is why would they just remove this? For all of the bloat that Adobe constantly adds on to this suite of applications, year after year, why on earth would they just remove a simple, useful, entirely unobtrusive feature such as file / new from template?

Why don't I have the same options in my calendar for appointments iCloud/iPad

Why don't I have the same opoisions in my calendar for appointments? Online in iCloud calendar there are options to pick from for days of the week and how many weeks to set an appointment. Why can't I do this on my iPhone or iPad? Am I missing a setting to be able to do this? I make most of my apointments away from my desk and would like to send a invitation at that time.

Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

Why don't I have Boot Camp Control Panel?

I am currently asking this in Yahoo! Answers as well:
I just used Boot Camp Assistant around a week ago to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my Macbook Pro with Retina Display (and if it also helps find a solution: I'm also using Mountain Lion). At first, certain keyboard functions that can be used in the Mac OS (such as brightness and volume adjustment; oh, + the trackpad functions) that couldn't be used in Windows didn't exactly bother me since I was able to manage without them... until I started to play online games - which is the main reason I had to dual boot my macbook. When I already found it annoying to continuously click control+left click to perform right click, I started to look for solutions, and I noticed that most people online have said, "Oh, simply adjust your settings in the BOOT CAMP CONTROL PANEL. There should be this DIAMOND in your task bar; click on it so that you can apply changes you want. It should be there after you have installed Windows..." ... Well, thing is: in my case, it DOESN'T APPEAR! "Check your control panel," they say. "You will surely find it there." Check for me, if you will, because I seriously have no clue why I can't find it, even after checking using the Search bar...
Now... why don't I have Boot Camp Control Panel? I find it really strange how it doesn't appear in mine when it does in most of other people's... I kinda dislike the idea of reinstalling Windows, because over the week, I've downloaded several drivers and other applications (mostly games). Is there any way I could get it without having to undergo the process of deleting and uninstalling files? I need my Mac OS for school and office work (don't ask) and I need to have my entertaining pastimes using Windows. Please don't hesitate to suggest as many ideas as you can...
Thank you!

It appears from your description that you did not download and install the Windows support software. It was one of the first menu items you saw when you started Boot Camp Assistant.
Run Boot Camp Assistant again and select the menu option to download the Windows support software. Save this download as described then install it from within Windows.

Why wouldn't my 4S have this? But iPhone 4 users do? It is already turned on in my settings but that icon is missing in my calendar.
