"Write access not granted"???

I see this has been covered before....but haven't seen any really helpful information for my situation...
I just recently switched over to Mac (which has been fully updated) and was so excited to get my Photoshop CS6 platform switch. Everything was running very smoothly until trying to save to my external drive. I got this message: "Could not save as “(photo name)” because write access was not granted."
I am very, very frustrated as I have major projects to do, and this is going to be a serious problem. I can save to the actual Mac -- but can't save to an external drive?!? This is ridiculous.
Anyone out there that can help?
Thanks!

I did some more searching, it appears the problem is with the permissions on my ext. drive, which cannot be changed unless I reformat it.

In a finder window highlight and right click the folder you are trying to save to and select Get Info. In the window that opens look at the bottom to see if you have Read/Write permissions. If you don't click the Plus sign and add your Admin Username to the list and give it full Read/Write permissions.
Open Disk Utility and on the First Aid tab select Repair Permissions and let it run.

It won't let me save my work says write access not granted please help

It won’t let me save my work says write access not granted please help

Please provide some relevant information.
Are all operations and rools inoperable?
Do you get some error message?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

Mebody Keep on getting a message that says write access not granted if i whant to safe my edited images! Please help? Preview check box already unchecked

please help me with this problem? I keep on getting a message saying write access not granted, so i cant safe my files!

The drive appears in the sidebar with a tiny lock icon, and when I try to copy a file from my internal HD to the external (top level directory, or drag the items right onto the icon), the following things happen:
Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and enter the following:
chflags nouchg
followed by a space; next, drag the disk into the Terminal window and press Enter. The lock should now be gone.
The fact that my account was named both as owner and group seemed odd, since in Group the access was "read only".
Recent versions of Mac OS X create a group with the same name whenever you create an account from the Setup Assistant or System Preferences. The Group permissions don't apply in this case.
I changed the Group access to "read & Write", but it's not "sticking" -- when I close teh details field and reopen it, or close the get info window and reopen, the Group access settings go back to "read only".
Did you get an error message after doing this?
Verify/Repair permissions were dimmed for this drive (I assume becuase it doesn't have MacOS X installed on it?)
That is correct. The Repair Permissions mechanism uses data from the /Library/Receipts/ folder on a disk to function, and this data is only present on disks which have Mac OS X installed.

Why do I get an error message 'write access not granted' when I try to copy paste jpegs from my folder on desktop to an external hard drive/(Transcend)pendrive

This is a new problem. I transferred some images from my Nikon camera via image capture but converted my raw files to jpegs in the Nikon View nx 2 software and saved them in a new folder on my desktop. I use a 2010 MBP that has OS10.9.5 fully updated. When i tried copying and pasting the jpegs to an external pen drive I got an error message saying the jpg (the number) could not be saved as write access is not granted. I thought the pen drive may be full. So I attached an external hard drive. got the same message. I then opened the same jpeg in photoshop cc and tried saving it as png on the hard drive, got the same message. Was unable to handover the photographs to my client. Was hugely embarrassed. Pl let me know if there is a way out of this and if its a Mac OSX issue? Thanks.

right click on the jpeg (the other mouse button then you use to click with) or on trackpad, hold down control and click, in the menu that pops up, click on "get info" next, if the box labeled "locked" is checked, uncheck it. Down at the bottom, there should be a box with your user name, "staff" and "everyone". to the right of this are options to change these you may need to click the small padlock icon and enter in your password. then change all of the permissions to read and write.

File saving error : write access not granted

working on some old images annd when I try to save get a message---write access was not granted---- what is that ?

Either the files or folder security settings are limited to read only. If you're on a windows system, right click on the file and folder to which you're trying to save and see if the read only check box is selected or you don't have write access under the security tab.

Error Message: Requested application access not granted
Check that your certificate can be used to sign all necessary resources for its implementation. For example, if you use self-signed certificate, you can only sign basic set capabilities, ie, network services, ReadUserData, WriteUserData, LocalService and UserEnvironment. If your application requires one of the extended features, such SwEvent, you can not sign it with self-signed certificate. In this case, request developer certificates from Symbian Signed.

Check in user buffer in SU56 transaction. Search each S_TCODE against all the profile assugned to him...
However you also need to consider there are lot of bug present for various SUIM reports..

Write access not allowed, trying to copy a cd to ipod

I bought a CD and it will not let me put it on my iPod. It says i do not have write access to the iPod. Thanks for any help.

From what I understand the sync was not a issue untill the last 7 or 10 days. Something new on itunes? I really do not know. She has her password and user words but said she never saw the "write" thing before.
I tried to copy a screen of the pop up but it did not work. The screen said something like "dans ipod can not ----------- you do not have write access.
I am clueless.

Keep getting this when trying to save a photo... Could not save "DTP_0006.JPG" because write access was not granted.

Need to know how to fix this to be able to save edited portraits again.

I am having the same problem with Photoshop CS5Extended. I am using a MAC, and a NAS (Synology drive). I only have problems saving onto the drive. I can copy files to the drive just fine, but trying to save with Photoshop I get the same "write access not granted" message. Here below are my steps:
1. Open .NEF file in Adobe Lightroom
2. Right click, say "open in Photoshop" (file moves over to Photoshop)
3. Edit file in Photoshop and save. I get error "write access not granted." If I try to save as, I get the same error. It will not save the file in Photoshop to my Synology drive.
4. I can save this same file on my Mac Hard Drive without any problems. I can copy and paste and image using the finder into my Synology drive and it works. But trying to save an image onto the drive using Photoshop creates errors.

Elements 11 "Unable to save because write access was not granted."

I previously organized and tagged a batch of raw photos using viewNX on my PC. The PC crashed and I am now trying to edit that same batch of photos with Elements 11 on my iMac. I am able to access the photos, but when I try to save my edits I receive the message, "Unable to save because write access was not granted." I am not on a networked computer, no one else has access to the photos, and the photos are not open in any other program. Forgive the ingorance, but the the iMac and Elements 11 are new to me; can anyone help me troubleshoot?
Thank you,
Heidi

You are wonderful!!! You nailed it:) I need to reformat my hard drive for my Mac and meanwhile save my edited photos elsewhere. I can't tell you how grateful I am for your input...I have over 200 portraits to edit for a non-profit fundraiser in two weeks. Thank you!!!
