[QUOTE="kkwinner, post: 1684828, member: 363684"] I just had this problem. I had downloaded my profile from another Mac, and there were some weird permissions things going on.... Because there were multiple profiles for me in there, it looked like I had access, but I didn't....Anyway, what I had to do was to simply add myself to Desktop as a user with access: - go to the directory holding the Desktop folder - select (highlight) Desktop - command-i (or right click, select Get Info; or click i button at Finder window top) to open Info on the folder - click the lock to unlock, enter your password - click the plus symbol, bottom left, to add a user - select any user profiles you'd like to add -- they should appear in the list at the bottom of the window - next to the username in the list, scroll to "Read & Write" (if you want them to be able to have those privileges) So even if you see yourself in there, it might not hurt to try adding yourself again.
