Why I can't modify protect documents?

My problem is:
I have regulare license for Pages and Numbers. One mounth ago, I changed my Imac 21" with a new one 27". I have transfered all the documents with the Assistant Migration from the first Imac to the new one. All was good.
Yesterday I have open, one of my documents of Numbers and he wrote me: "you don't own this document, and you have not the privileges to write in it. You can only to duplicate this document and modify it". I tried in every way to have the permission but nothing. I can't modify anything: documents , folder, positions, nothing. Of the Pages and of the Numbers.
I don't know why, and I would like to make it.
Last thing: if I duplicate the document, he open me a Copy of it, but, if I put it, into the folder, he protect this document like the first, and I can't modify also this one. I solve the problem only if I make a new folder and put the duplicate into it.

Hi b,
I suspect the issue is that you have registered on your new machine as a different user than on the previous one.
The Owner of the document is the user with the user name in use when the document was created. If you have established an account on the new machine with a different user name, that user may still be 'you', but it's not the same 'you' as made the document.
Go back to the first machine, select the folder containing the problem documents and Duplicate the whole folder.
With the duplicate folder selected, press command-I to Get Info.
At the bottom of the Info window, expand the ownership and permissions section.
Change the Others: setting to Read and Write,
Click Apply Changes to enclosed items.
Copy the folder over to the new machine, where you should now be able to open, edit and save the documents in that folder.
Delete the duplicate folder from the old machine (and empty the Trash to recover the disk space).
Regards,
Barry

    How can I modify a document when it opens in Preview

    when in preview, go to the "Tools" area, you will get a slew of things you can do with your documents in Preview.
    I  usually hit ctrl+cmd+O
    that's the letter "oh" not the number "zero"
    the tools sort of appear and then I can choose what I want to do.

  • Why i can not see the Document goods movements from T-CODE  CO03 ?

    Hello,
        why i can not see the Document goods movements list use T-CODE CO03 ?  I'm sure i have issueed for this production order. thanks.
    xinzhou.

    Hi,
    Is this a problem with only one order? or with all the Orders of the same "Order Type".
    If this is with only one Order, check goods movements actually done or not?
    If this problem is with other Orders as well (same Order Type), then with the T.Code; OPL8.
    In the 2nd Tab Page (Implemenation) - Whether the Check boxes are filled for Documented Goods Movements??

  • Can't password protect documents

    A year ago I bought a  license for Adobe Acrobat Standard which included access to certain features including the ability to password protect documents.  Suddenly it has stopped working.  I have already re-downloaded my product version and that has not solved the problem and can find nothing online to help.  Any suggestions or solutions will be appreciated.

  • Why i can't share my documents via e-mail?

    In theory, slash or colon were not allowed in filenames.
    For years, the operating system did its best to behave correctly with them.
    It seems that, at last, Apple decided that the rule must apply and we see examples of tools failing when the rule isn't applied.
    I remember that some years ago we had the same kind of problems with filename embedding the character # which is legal.
    During 11 days I fought against the Bug Reporter Web site which failed when I tried to file a reporet with an attachment.
    At last, I discovered that the wrongdoer was the character à which is embedded in the screenshot's name created on French system (Capture d’écran 2011-10-05 à 12:34:56)
    So, if you have items whose name embed the forbidden chars, the answer is simple : hurry up, rename them.

  • Why AP can not modify the hostname

                 Modify the hostname of the AP, but the tips below in the WLC WEB

    The error message is telling you that on your High Availability tab you have an IP Address in the Primary/Secondary/Tertiary section but do not have a WLC hostname there.    High Availability is done by WLC Name with the IP Address Optional.    The only way you'll be able to make a GUI modification (change the AP name for example) will be AFTER you fix the error [remove the ip address in the HA section, or add the WLC name like is required for a valid HA config).

  • Why I ca not open my document through adobe today ugent ??

    why I can not open my documents
    through adobe today ?

    This is a web forum not a chat room. Why did you mark your question as the answer?
    You still haven't given us much to go on? Are you opening these files from a website (clicking on a link)? I'm assuming they are pdf files, correct? If so, what web browser and operating system do you have?
    Remember, we aren't sitting there in the room with you so you need to be descriptive and answer all questions...

  • Can't open a document or run on Windows 8.1

    Any ideas why I can't open a document or open the program on Windows 8.1?

    "Unable" and "can't" means exactly the same: nothing.  What exactly happens when you try to open Adobe Reader or a PDF?
    Still, what is your Reader version?

  • I recently udpated to Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and now I can not open signature protected documents.  ?Porque?  What is the fix?

    @

    Pasting all the conversation so that others can get help from the discussion.
    Hi David,
    Can you please try disabling protected mode and see if you are able to open these files.
    To disable protected mode:
    Select Edit menu -> Preferences -> Ubcheck Enable Protected Mode at startup and restart Adobe Reader.
    Note:
    "Purpose of Reader XI Protected Mode is to keep your system safe from PDF based exploits and keeping protected mode OFF will leave your system vulnerable.”
    Please turn back on the protected mode checkup after this testing.
    This seems to be a fix!  Thank you for your help.  Now comes the tricky part.    I have to deploy this as a package across a gov. network using SCCM.  How do I get this to all the users with "enable protected mode..." unchecked.  I can't give them something that does not work out of the box.
    Hi David,
    It is not advisable to turn off protected mode as Purpose of Reader XI Protected Mode is to keep your system safe from PDF based exploits and keeping protected mode OFF will leave your system vulnerable.
    Please let me know few details so that I can reproduce the issue at my end.
    1) Will it be possible for you to send any test file in which the issue is reproducible.
    2) Can you please check where the certificate (from which the PDF is signed) is stored. (Is it stored at Trusted Root Certificate Authorities or some other store?)
    3) Do you use any other tool other than Adobe Reader plugin to digitally sign/ open a PDF ? (Is any tool other than Adobe Reader is involved?)
    Thanks,
    Shakti K
    Hi David,
    Please do the below test to see if the issue occurs due to signatures applied to the PDF document.
    1) Launch Reader go to Edit -> Preferences -> Security (Enhanced) and check "Enable Protected Mode at startup" and clock OK.
    2) Goto Edit -> Preferences -> Signatures and select Verification . Uncheck "verify signatures when the document is opened." and click OK.
    3) Restart Adobe Reader
    4) Now open the digitally signed protected PDF file in which the issue was observed.
    Please let mw know the observation.
    Thanks,
    Shakti K
    It has nothing to do with the signatures applied.  Any document with a
    signature block, even blank documents, will not open unless the "enable
    protected documents at start up" is unchecked.  It is the same across the
    board for all documents weather signed or unsigned with a signature block.  I
    have it working on my machine, I just need to figure out how to install over
    the  network with the block unchecked during installation.
    1.  Attached form
    2.  I am not sure where reader pulls the cert from.  They are all in a trusted
    root CA because all certs are miiitary
    3.  Other tools used
    ActivClient CAC x64  (6.2)
    e-Sign Desktop 6.6
    Thanks again for the support
    Thanks a lot for all the information.
    A doubt : If the document is not signed (like you mentioned unsigned documents also face the same issue) then how exactly the document is protected. Is it protected using any certificate?
    I cannot find any attached PDF form . Please resend it again.
    I am unable to reproduce the error now.  Even with the protected block check.
    Im not sure if there was a Group Policy change that enabled this.  As of now,
    it looks like the issue has been resolved.  I appreciate all the help.
