Word is telling me file is "write protected" and other files tell me I don't have "permission" to save them. Help! Thanks
iBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
If you are truly running Mac OS X 10.6.8, then you don't have an iBook because that version of the OS is not compatible with an iBook.
Do you have a MacBook, maybe?
What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Sometimes things like this can happen when the hard drive is too full.
Hello,
Try repairing the disk permissions by doing the following :
To open Disk Utility, from the Applications folder, open Utilities and then double-click the Disk Utility icon.
In the column on the left, click your startup disk.
Click the First Aid Tab tab, and then click Repair Disk Permissions.Disk Utility will reset any files and folders with incorrect settings.
Hope this helps.
Okay. Ronda is right. I have a MacBook, not Pro. I have tons of harddrive space left. I ran the Repair Disk Permissions. I checked the 'get info' on the harddrive. All permissions in order. I'm away from the office and don't have an external drive to save to, or I'd try that. I'm logged in as the admin. Is my harddrive going south? I have an old version of M.Office. I'm gonna close that and try saving something else to see if it's created a conflict. It really slows the processer down. Thanks to you both. Still searching...
Just how much is "tons" of hard drive space?
It's generally recommended to keep a minimum of 15% of the total capacity of the hard drive as available space.
Tons as in 40%. But, this is embarrasing, I was trying to save to a write-protected folder. Duh. Everything is in order. Sorry to take up your time and good efforts. Thanks folks.
That's easily done. I am pleased to see you resoved this problem.
Best of luck :)
My iBook is not saving new files.
