Hi Sarah, My reading of the Apple Support discussion posts indicated that those people had read and write permissions, too, and also tried repairing permissions, but were still having problems. This could be due to ownership, as John Panarese indicated, but the reason that you could still have problems after checking out permissions is that if other apps or sources have permission to access those files/folders you could still get locked out. Also, permissions for some operations depend on the permissions setting of the parent directory, which you're not checking.
What's common to your reported problems from last weekend as well as this weekend, is that the folder giving you problems are the ones set up by default for your account like ~/Documents ~/Music etc. These were the folders that were listed for that Terminal command-line solution I proposed earlier. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Feb 26, 2012, at 12:44 PM, Sarah Alawami wrote: > Actually I do have read right permitions in the documents folder.
