Start up from macOS Recovery
Core9000 mac os. Dec 19, 2015 The permission system is a way Mac OS X and other operating systems ensure security. A program you run on your desktop can't just modify your system files without permission. If you have multiple user accounts on your Mac, permissions keep each user account's files private from other uses. Macs have two different types of permissions. If you own these older 32-bit apps, you may need to upgrade to newer Mac App Store versions where available, or you'll need to wait for the developers to release 64-bit updates.

Reinstall macOS
Select Reinstall macOS from the utilities window in macOS Recovery, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.
Follow these guidelines during installation:
- If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
- If the installer doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk first.
- If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh HD.
- Allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart and show a progress bar several times, and the screen might be empty for minutes at a time.

After installation is complete, your Mac might restart to a setup assistant. If you're selling, trading in, or giving away your Mac, press Command-Q to quit the assistant without completing setup. Then click Shut Down. When the new owner starts up the Mac, they can use their own information to complete setup.
Other macOS installation options
When you install macOS from Recovery, you get the current version of the most recently installed macOS, with some exceptions:
- On an Intel-based Mac: If you use Shift-Option-Command-R during startup, you're offered the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available. If you use Option-Command-R during startup, in most cases you're offered the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. Otherwise you're offered the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
- If the Mac logic board was just replaced, you may be offered only the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac. If you just erased your entire startup disk, you may be offered only the macOS that came with your Mac, or the closest version still available.
You can also use these methods to install macOS, if the macOS is compatible with your Mac:
- Use the App Store to download and install the latest macOS.
- Use the App Store or a web browser to download and install an earlier macOS.
- Use a USB flash drive or other secondary volume to create a bootable installer.
Noelle Oliveira says her Mac isn't letting her save files from several different programs. She consistently receives the error (with various filenames and folder locations):
'filename' couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access 'folder'.
You Can't Save Them All. Mac Os 7
macOS says she needs to change permissions on Desktop, but I'd wager most Mac users haven't had to wrangle with this. Permissions are a Unix-level property attached to files (including apps) and folder that control the rights a given user or system agent has to read, write, execute, or act in other ways upon a file or folder.
In the old days, we had to muck about with permissions all the time. Disk Utility even had a Repair Disk Permissions options to fix system settings that might have gotten out of whack. (It was removed in later releases of the app because it was no longer necessary.)
In fact, honest to goodness, I can't recall the last time I had to modify permissions on files created through Mac apps or by macOS. (I sometimes use Terminal and have to mess with file permissions behind the scenes for command-line apps.)
If permissions are unfamiliar to you, it's fortunately accessible—as Apple says in the dialog box—by selecting one then choosing File > Get Info. To modify multiple items, hold down Option and select File > Show Inspector. Because Apple provides no further instructions, this might leave many newer users at sea. (And, by the way, the Desktop folder referred is the one in the top level of your home directory. Select Go > Home in the Finder, and you'll see it there.)
In the Sharing & Permissions area of either the Get Info or Multiple Item window, you should see your account in the Name column and (for regular documents) Read & Write under the Privilege column. For example, I show up as 'glenn (Me)', my Unix user name for my account, under Name.
If you don't see yourself, follow these steps:
- Click the lock icon in the lower-right corner and enter your password (or that of an administrative account, if your user account isn't set with admin privileges).
- Click the + sign at lower left.
- Select yourself from the Users & Groups list and click Select.
- In the Privilege column next to your name, choose Read & Write.
- If it's a folder and you want to make sure everything within the folder down to the lowest level also has the same access (typical for document), from the gear item, choose Apply to Enclosed Items and then confirm by clicking OK.
If you do see yourself, but Read & Write isn't selected: Follow steps 1, 4, and 5 above.
Some readers have found this problem occurs even if the permissions are correct on the destination folder, however, and forum searches lead me to believe that can result from the wrong permissions on a hidden Autosave Information folder used by Apple's apps for interim versions of documents you're working on before you save them under a name in a different location, or between you explicitly choosing File > Save in apps that require that.
To fix the Autosave Information problem, follow these steps:
- Open your user Library folder in the Finder by selecting Go > Go To Folder and entering
~/Library
- Select the Autosave Information folder.
- Choose File > Get Info.
- Check the Sharing & Permissions section. If your name doesn't appear or it appears without the correct permissions, follow the steps above, making sure to use step 5, as you want all enclosed items to also be fixed.
