My MacBook Pro is not allowing me to take screenshots!?
Dear Apple Community,
Recently I have taken out my optical drive and moved my old 500GB hard drive over there and replaced the old hard drive location with a new 120GB SSD. I moved the operating system, applications and most used files onto the SSD, however I left my user folder on the old hard drive and linked the two. I then symlinked my downloads folder and my desktop so that the actual folders where on the SSD however they appeared in the normal user folder on the HDD.
That has all been fine, however even more recently I have not been able to take screenshots. Whenever I try to I get the error message:
Your screenshot can't be saved.
You don’t have permission to save files in the location where screen shots are stored.
I have tried everything I could think of including:
- Repairing & Verifying both drives' permissions.
- Making sure the desktop folder is unlocked from "More Info".
- Changing the location and format of screenshots.
- Resetting Home folder permissions and ACLs, by booting from the recovery disk.
Please could someone out there be of service, as I have run out of ideas! Thanks.
