The operation cannot be completed because you do not have the necessary permissions. This is the message I get when I want to create a new folder. I don't have this problem until recently. 1.

How should I do?

2 is that there is a security breach?

I use sierra but, I had the same problem with el Capitan

When you try to create a new folder? is it an external device? your office? a NAS?

    I recently started having the SAME problem. Windows Photo Viewer working wonder in the past months on the same exact images without any problems.

    I suspect that Microsoft update the code somewhere which pushed as an update - what is now the cause of the problem.

    As a diagnosis, I tried with the right button "open with...". "and chose the paint. The same file opened without any problem.

    All the pictures are generated for all images without problem.

    Still, Windows Photo Viewer cannot display ALL my image files. Paint has no problem.

    Similarly, right click 'open with... '. "and choose Microsoft Office 2010. Loading the image without any problems.

    If the original poster has the same success using other programs - then the problem is with the Windows Photo Viewer - Microsoft of not having it recognize permissions for the code or something.

    It's on Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit. Latest updates applied Microsoft.

  • Unable to save illustrator file because you do not have permission

    At work our files are saved to a single server. I can work on it fine and save them and have never any problems, however my colleague will open the files and modify them and when she tried to save gives an error message saying that she must save the file with a different name because it doesn't have permission to save the file. How can we prevent this if us does not clutter up our system with the duty to name the same file several different names depending on who works there.

  • Transcend Jet 360 Lite SD care & "the operation cannot be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code - 50)"

    Have used the SD Transcend 360 256 MB card for data storage with success during the last 6 months on my MBP to mid-2014.  Installed their wake from sleep early support software.

    Above error code invite you in this context: I wake up Mac in the morning after sleep.  Transcend icon "wake up" and appear on the desktop (as it should).  I check disk utility and the card is recognized.  HOWEVER, about 1/3 of those mornings, despite appearing and functional map icon (folder open when I click on it), when I try to write/copy a file or folder to it, I get the above error code?  For about a week I missed that everything seemed normal.  My current 'fix' is to eject the card (requires a 'forced ejection"which I'm concerned could damage the card?), but the card ejects without delay.  90% of the time when I remove and reinsert the card, the operating system recognizes, all right.  (There are a dozen times when I had to reboot for it to be recognized.)

    All the others did this experiment with the Transcend (I submitted a request for tech support to them with a persistent response of 'Question Mac'... (LOL).  This error has been noted several times on the Forum discussion, but in the context of external drives and with no apparent solution.  FYI, I use the Transcend (in addition to external systems) b/c it works essentially like a hard drive internal and I use it mainly for Google Drive perfectly... except for the above inconveniences.  Thanks in advance!

  • Moving backups Time Machine - the operation cannot take place because the backup item is not editable

    I want to change the external hard drive that I use for my time machine backups. I went through the steps listed here:

    Time Machine: How to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

    It seems to work correctly. I shot TM back and adding the new drive. TM is now backing up files on the drive up, but there is a problem.

    For some reason, TM has begun to put backups "freely" for lack of better in the external hard drive, and not in the backups.backupdb folder for a week, then returned to save them in the backups.backupdb > ComputerName > files from backups. So in other words, when you click on the hard drive in the finder, it opens the player and you see a folder named Backups.backupdb and then a bunch of mixed in which files are backups time machine named 2016-01-24-XXXXXX, etc.. When you go to the folder Backups.backupdb, there's a more random "loose" time machine backup file 2016-01-23-XXXXXX, and then another folder with the name of computers and in the folder are all TM backups except loose ones I mentioned earlier.

    It seems that TM is working properly now, but I don't know why he put the files from the first days outside the backup folder. However, when I do drag, I get the error:

    The operation cannot be completed because backup items is not editable

    I want to just put all the files in the right folder so that I can A) keep my disk organized and (B) ensure what TM can find everything correctly should I have to go back.

    No idea what is happening and how to fix it?

    Although the documentation Apple says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it is very slow and sometimes does not.

    This technique works only if the volume that you copy to the same size or larger that that you are copying to.

    First of all, please open the Time Machine preference pane and click the Select Disk... button. You may be able to unlock the settings first, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Log in as administrator.

    Remove the volume you want to copy in the list of backup destinations. Then turn off Time Machine.

    Launch disk utility, open the built-in Help and search for the term 'Double '. Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be deleted. That shouldn't be a problem, because you do not want to mix non-sauvegarde and backup data on the same drive anyway.

    If the volume you are copying has been encrypted by Time Machine, you must first unlock it. Click the release button in the toolbar of the disk utility window.

    Turn Time Machine back on and select the new volume as a backup destination. Alternatively, you can continue to use the old volume, if you wish. Both will be alternated when both are available.

    ATTENTION: If you copy the volume is corrupted, as shown by the ERD or first aid in disk utility, while corruption is copied to the new drive. Do not copy data from a damaged on a faulty disk volume. Put aside the reader and do not use until you don't know that you no longer need the data. Then securely erase it and bring it to a recycling center. Do the same if the restore operation fails with "disk errors."

  • CS4 question - you do not have the necessary access privilege

    I am running a MacPro on OS X 10.6.8. After a recent problem with the system, I had to uninstall and reinstall all software, repair permissions etc. All other programs are now very well. But CS4. I uninstalled CS4 and reinstalled twice (once via the original DVD, once via a link sent to me my someone in Adbobe). I enter my serial number, as requested, and everything seems to run nicely until I get an error message saying:

    An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because you do not have the necessary access privilege. Photoshop will now exit "."

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you, Simon

    Sorry, but everything first, I'm on 10.6.8 and second, when I look in users/library I'm not clear what files I'm supposed to go and then what to do?
