  When I log in with the administrator account, I get the following popup:

  C:\Windows\System32\SystemPropertiesComputerName.exe
  Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

• You cannot change the permissions of the user

  Hi guys,.

  I have a MacBook Air, which started with the 10.11.4 2014 loading screen and would be turned off once the progress bar moves to halfway.

  I ran MRI what diagnosis came thin and storage said it was a software error.

  I removed the SSD drive and placed in a basket so I can see the SSD on my iMac. He goes (to the Mac OS Extended format) and I can see the folder of the user, but under "Sharing and permissions", she says that I can read only. In most cases I would be directly click on the padlock on the bottom right, change the privileges and choose "apply to included items", but it is all grayed out.

  I ran and fixed the permissions through terminal (since I can do is no longer on the disk utility). No idea how to get around this problem? There are files on the SSD drive which unfortunately were not backed up.

  Note: I also tried to run BatChmod but it has not fixed either.

  Any ideas?

  Your help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Repairing permissions has no effect on your Home folder.

  Reset permissions on your folder. Boot from your recovery partition now command-keys R in the menu utilities launch Terminal. In the Terminal, type: resetpassword , then press return.  (Note: you won't be reset password)

  Click the icon for the hard drive of your Mac at the top. In the drop down menu below, select your home folder. At the bottom of the window restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Then, click on the Reset button. When the prompt returns to the command line, you can leave out Terminal.

• Lightroom CC "User permissions error" - cannot change the permissions for the folder Preferences

  I noticed that Lightroom was running slow so I thought it was time to take stock. (I was using Lightroom 5.7). Yesterday, I downloaded the last LR update, which is Lightroom CC [1067055]. I thought that Lightroom CC would replace 5 Lightroom but apparently they have downloaded as separate applications. When I tried to launch Lightroom CC I got an error message indicating "Lightroom has met permission issues. I followed the directions from this link met Lightroom user permissions problems. Bridge of Photoshop Lightroom crashes or hangs at the launch but it does not set itself (I did not take the final step which is - create a new user account). I was working off of Yosemite, so I hope that the error can be corrected if I updated my operating system. Today, I downloaded El Capitan and Lightroom CC will not always open - I get the same error. I went to manually update the read and write permissions for the folders listed, but some of them don't make changes. The preferences file gives me an error saying "the operation cannot be performed because you don't have the necessary authorization." I don't have the "Adobe" folder in this route Caches

  • /Users/ [user name] / Library/Caches/Adobe /.

  How can I solve this problem and get Lightroom CC to work?

  

  @laurawielos,

  Try this:

  the Macintosh HD > users > [your user folder... click on 'Go' on the options bar at the top on the desktop (Menu bar) > then click on the 'option' key > mouse down to the selection of 'Library' that should appear > click on it to open the folder /Users/ [your user name] /Library/ ' "]

  You should now find the appropriate folders to change permissions. Just give your user name of the read/write permissions. I don't think you want to give everyone the read/write permission as some authors have claimed.

• Cannot change the power state of VM: cannot...   (VMWare Workstation 7 on Debian Lenny)

  Hi all, I am new to this community. I recently installed VMWare Workstation 7 on a Debian Lenny (kernel 2.6.26.2 - amd64). I had no problem with it, but when I tried to start a Virtual Machine Windows Vista, which I created it, does not start. Error says windows "cannot change the power state of VM: could not find a peer valid to connect to". "" Any idea, please?

  Josber.

  It seems that the virtual machine has been suspended when your host is using a different screen resolution

  either change back to the resolution that you used when you suspenmded the machine virtual or delete the VMS.

  This will force the VM to do a cold boot

• Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

  Hello

  I recently changed to use AVG free Antivirus Vista 2010 edition and since then (next day) seems to be locked out almost everything on the computer other then IE.  Open any kind of .exe translates into "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item. "I can access the Control Panel, but when I try to run something (a user restore Sys account) nothing happens or I get the same error.  I can not even access/cmd?

  Operating system is vista 64 bit home premium
  Computer has 1 which is defined as administrator SP1
  Tried to do a restore of the system in normal mode and safe, the two will not start.

  I have a feeling I know what the problem is, that when you look at the properties > Security "Progam files" in the 5 groupnames user administrator has not enabled in the lower area of permissions?  Guess a virus has locked all accounts to use the machine key files? (When editing and allowing the admin to have full control etc. in written authorization, I get an "access denied" Message.)  Be honest this really problems out of my PC knowledge, I would usually just reformat if I hit I can't solve a problem, but this time reformating is not the best option.

  Thanks in advance for any help, I would really appreciate it, it left me speechless!

  PS. read through the similar questions and have used the "fix windows' programs, with nothing working or me being not able to access something used.

  Hi Dany88,

  First of all, I would say that you uninstall security antivirus vista 2010 of computer software, since there are several questions on the computer after installing. This software may have created conflicts between other programs on the computer.

  As you face problems to access items from 'Control panel', I would say you visit the security software vendor's Web site and search a tool of suppression using which you can uninstall the software.

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If questions are set after uninstalling security software, I suggest that you change the security antivirus vista to some else software or contact the vendor of the software for more information.

  I would also say that you are investigating the computer by using the methods mentioned in the link below.
