OK-thanks. I have accessed the permissions and allowed myself to READ AND WRITE across all three options.
I then logged off /logged on
I then went back to the instruction to access photos in the applications folder, right clicked onto photos and accessed INFO-and attempted to adjust the 3 options to READ AND WRITE having keyed in my password and the little padlock thus opening.
When TRYING UNSUCCESSFULLY to adjust any of the three options-I got the screenshot-....THE OPERATION CAN'T BE COMPLETED BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE NECESSARY PERMISSIONS.
Please note though from my first sentence-I have/had already changed the permissions following the guidelines in your previous post.
Should i be doing something else else....before attempting another synch?
