Help...System error (Access denied)

Posted:
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
I just bought a Palm Tungsten C I am attempting to install the latest Palm Desktop to my 1 gig PB running 10.2.6 and I get the following message just after the files begin to load:



Sorry, the operation could not be completed due to a system error. (Access denied).



This problem occurs whether I am installing from the CD or from a download from the Palm site. I have run Disk Utility to repair permissions but I still get this message. One thing I did notice was that most programs before the install will ask for my password but this installation program does not. It begins the install then quits.



Any solutions?

    You have to manually change the permissions of the conduits folder.



    I haven't done this in a while, but somewhere in the system folder is a 'conduits' folder with a 'usb' folder in it.



    Make sure you have read/write access to all of the folders in that 'group'.



    Sorry so vague. I helped a friend with this once, but don't use a palm myself so I don't have those folders on my Mac as a reference.
