Problems with permissions on my wiped Mac with osx snow leopard while importing library folders like application support from a backup?
How do I gain permissions to the files on my external hard drive? I backed up my Mac (OSX Snow Leopard) on my Transcend 1tb
and wiped my Mac, and replaced the 'Application Support' Folder with my old one. I had to go and do 'get info' for many of the folders and give my new account permissions to 'read and write'. There are still problems however, for example I am unable to open my old apps, and when I try to torrent files, it I'm unable to collect the magnet link (it says 50% before stopping and saying you do not have permissions). I dragged and dropped the folders from my backup into my library folder. Thank you for reading this!

What are the shared folders in Windows?
Shared folder permissions are used to restrict access to a folder or file that is shared over the network. Folder sharing is normally used to grant remote users access to file and folders over the network. Web sharing is used to grant remote users access to files from the Web if Internet Information Services (IIS) is installed.When folders are shared, it is important to keep in mind that you can share folders only, and not files. For users that are locally logged on to a computer, shared folder permissions are irrelevant. Shared folders that are moved are no longer shared. When shared folders are copied, the copy is not shared. The original shared folder however remains shared.A few disadvantages associated with share permissions are listed below:Shared folder permissions do not have as many permission options as NTFS permissions. The only shared folder permissions that can be assigned to users/groups are Read, Change, or Full Control.Share permissions are not inheritable.You cannot back up or audit shared folder permissions.If you move or even rename a shared folder, the shared folder permissions for that particular folder no longer exist.

My macbook says you do not have permission to run Skype what's wrong?
One of the 'security' methods used by OSX is file permissions. Basically, everything on the hard drive can be considered a file, whether it will be a document or an application once it is read into the computer. Permissions extend from the object downward. So, if a folder is 'locked' then nothing in the folder, or within folders that are inside it, can be opened if you don't have permission to do so. If you have SKYPE in a strange location, OSX may not allow you to open it. Put it in the Applications folder. There are at least two Application folders on your computer. Each user has one, and the system has one. If a user other than yourself installed SKYPE into his Application Folder, then you will not have permission to open it, even if you move it into your app folder. Sometimes permissions can get confused. Use Disk Utility to repair them. Another simple way to fix your problem would be to install SKYPE again and make sure it is put in the System Application Folder.
