Permissions
I am the owner and only user of a new Mac mini M1. I have updated to Monterey. I am now trying to load some apps that I had on my older iMac. Doing a default install with one app (Luminar 3), the install stops and says "You do not have sufficient permission to the specified folder."
I am the administrator. I go to that folder, go to "Get Info", unlock it (since I'm the admin), but my name isn't listed. When I go to add my name it says that "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission." When I try to change the Privileges on "Everyone" it also says "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have the necessary permission." The top 4 folders on the hard drive are Applications, Library, System and Users. Under Sharing & Permissions 2 folders have system, admin and everyone listed while 2 folders have system, wheel and everyone listed.
I cannot change anything on any folder, even after logging in and unlocking the lock at bottom.
Can someone help me please. I purchase the new M1 to have a better experience editing photos and now I can't even load the software.
Mike
