Sep 6, 2015 10:26 AM in response to cdm44by Eric Root,You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Sep 24, 2015 4:20 PM in response to cdm44by EVISCERATOR,In the search bar in communities, type ACLr8 then hit return. Look for the solved problem dated 2015.
I have used ACLr8 in the past and it fixed my permission problems with no harmful effects. Use it at your own risk. It may solve your problems,
Good Luck: Tom

Sep 25, 2015 2:41 PM in response to EVISCERATORby cdm44,★HelpfulThanks for your help and suggestion, however try the ACLr8 and its had no effect. However if I connect a memory stick to the computer and download the photo file using Wi-Fi that folder is not locked but if I download the folder directly to the computer then that file is locked, so in a way I have discovered a workaround but it does not solve the original problem, which I can't find an answer to anywhere
