"Your screen shot can't be saved."

I just got a new MacBook Pro from work. When I attempt to take a screen shot, this message pops up, "You don’t have permission to save files in the location where screen shots are stored." Anyone have any idea how I might fix this?

I'm guessing that the User account you're using is not named default ? or uses that as its Home Directory ?.



If that's true : run this command, which should revert the change : then log out of your account & back in again; or restart the computer.



defaults delete com.apple.ScreenCapture



However, it may be that your Work have enforced certain settings which can't readily be altered… but see if this works first.
