You are not allowed to create or update this content

I have a similar issue. Post menu only has one option, Discussion. Selecting this gives me a form for a new post.

There is no Group or Forum option anywhere, just Community.

I get the

You are not allowed to create or update this content

message.

Hi. Please review this thread from the beginning to get an understanding of how this site works. Note that you must post in a "leaf" forum, e.g. "Using iPhone", not "iPhone", and that you must make the other selections offered. Unfortunately, the javascript isn't smart enough to validate a post, it just sends it in, where it may be bounced by the server.

Hi. Communities are really funky this morning. Cannot load content, busy updating, cannot post. Usually works on retry. The trick with posting is to copy the content, close the tab, reopen the tap, and paste the content in a new post. The retry methods offered don't seem to work.

why not?? I would have thought apple might have put a helpful message explaining what it all means instead of leaving it for users to wade through this mire which seems to have been created by apple in the first place!!

Hi. Please review the hints in this thread. Note especially "leaf" forums, and answer all the questions. Any incompleteness triggers this message, which really means "post failed". Make sure you're still logged in by reloading the page and confirming your name at the top.

I don't know what is causing that issue, but I solved it for myself.

I probably got a temporary ban, after 15 minutes the message went away.

Very new users are constrained from posting "too often" as an Anti-SPAM measure... after some unknown amount of posts, that constraint is reduced to "30 seconds"

Hi,

One possible cause: The forum wants you to select a Category.

Below the post: Click "Browse Communities", select a community, and click on a few tags under "Select a Category" (will appear).

This worked for me when I had the same error message (happened a few times).

The error message is misleading, it should be "please select a community and category", not "you are not allowed to create or update this content".

Hope that helps someone.

No news and very unlikely there will be any. This has been an ongoing glitch for over two years. You were able to post here. Can you think of anything different you might have done when you got the pink message ?

Also please read the thread thoroughly. The message can be tripped by various and different means and many solutions have been given.

Hi, my iPhone 7 32GB Black has been stolen at a party I went to last night and I wanted to know how I can retrieve it even if it keeps registering as OFFLINE on find my iPhone. Can i report it to Apple via email and have them track the phone or is that the same as find my iPhone....Also I wanted to know if the Apple warranty covers stolen phones and if it can be replaced if I don't find it ?

I Tried to post a question but I can't so here it is:

If I were to travel overseas and forget to use an international adapter/charger to charge my brand new iPhone and it ends up exploding because the electrical system is different overseas, completely destroying the phone and causing other property damage, is this converted under the warranty?

If you use any equipment in a way that isn't recommended by the manufacturer and something bad happens, then no, the warranty doesn't apply. A warranty typically only covers the repair or replacement of the defective item, not any losses that might arise from the failure.

this pops up as a try to open a library on i movie: The file “CurrentVersion.flexolibrary” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.This only happened after I made one edit to a video I had already finished, it was even in the theatre and projects. Im very confused and agitated what do I do to try and rescue this video I made.

Hi 102mac102. Your problem is a little off the topic of this thread, which relates to problems posting on this site. I suggest you post a new question with your specific problem. Give as many details as possible, including computer, OS version, and program being used. And you might look for a forum related to the specific program. Start from the top Communities page and drill down till you reach a page that just lists topics, then use the ask question device there.

One more time with more info.

I've just upgraded to macOS Sierra a week ago and have attempted 3 times to post a question and 3 times it tells me "you are not allowed to create or update this content". I've done it from a Win7 PC, I've tried from my iMac, I'm logged in, less than 30 minutes, caches cleared. Why is this not working? and why it is allowing me to post here but not other forums? I'm baffled.

I had the same issue - my problem: I selected a Community (iPhone) but that wasn't enough. I needed to select what I would say was a sub-community, "Using iPhone", then file it deeper by pressing a button (something like 'camera, video, or photos'). Then it loaded to the system without an issue. ~M~
