I bought a new iMac and restored a backup. I work on my MacBook and iMac now.
I cannot work in numbers and pages files any more because "i am not autorised'.
Finder -> Info file -> Share and autorisation
Does not work
it shows my Apple account with the permission for 'reding and writing'.
But I can not save etc.
For 'everyone' it shows 'no permission'
What can I do ?

What are the permissions for both your Home folder and for your Desktop folder?
You can use Get Info, but this Terminal command will give better information (you can copy and paste).
ls -aleOd ~/ ~/Desktop
You'll get something like this:
drwxr-xr-x+ 46 barney staff - 1472 May 2 12:12 /Users/barney/
0: group:everyone deny delete
drwx------@ 4 barney staff - 128 Mar 27 01:38 /Users/barney/Desktop
0: group:everyone deny delete
1: group:everyone deny writeextattr
Copy the output and paste it into a reply, here.
PDF files, no problem.
JPEG files, no problem.
I think it is an issue within Numbers and Pages
Notes, no problem
Keynote, no problem
Don't know what else to test ;-D
Could NTFS for Mac have an influence.
It keeps asking me full disk acces.... can not seem to give it to them
Hi Barney,
How can I see if they are stored on a NTFS drive ?
The issue also occures with files on my desktop.
See below
The files are on Macintosh HD and on my desktop.
drwxr-xr-x@ 39 edward staff - 1248 2 mei 20:57 /Users/edward/
0: group:everyone deny delete
drwx------@ 40 edward staff - 1280 30 apr. 14:26 /Users/edward/Desktop
0: group:everyone deny delete
All looks correct. I still can’t understand why you are having problems.
It only takes one little change in the OS for Apps that try to intercept OS functions to totally bring things to a halt.
Why can't I open files on my iMac from my MacBook?
