File Error: Access Denied

Posted by Joe Sinclair on January 7, 2009 at 12:12 pm

Hello, I posted this a few days ago but I’m still having problems…

I’m using FCP 5.0.1. When I try to open a project I saved on an external drive I am getting the message ‘File Error: Access Denied’.

I am trying to open the file while logged on as a different user to the one I used when I created the file.

This is because for some reason I cannot open FCP as the original user.

I have tried trashing the preferences and repairing permissions but it makes no difference, either to being able to access the file, or to being able to log on to FCP as the original user.

It must be something simple, any suggestions???

Please and thank you…

Joe

Have you tried checking the permissions by doing a ‘get info’ on the file? Highlight the file then cmd+I. At the bottom is the permissions. It’s probably read only for your current user. If so, change it to read & write. You’ll need the admin password.

Thanks, I hadn’t tried that but it was already on ‘read and write’ so it’s not making any difference…

Try checking “Ignore ownership on this volume”.

like Raphael said, check the permissions on the file using the get info dialog….I’ve had to go so far as to add a new user/administrator. you can also try duplicating the file to your local drive.

Hi Joe!
I’m encountering this problem myself at the moment.
I wonder did you ever find a solution to this problem?
Thanks!

Hi Jessica,
Did you ever find an answer to your “access denied” problem? I am having the same issue.
Thanks. Tony
