I am on a Mac with Yosemite, and I plan to migrate from Aperture (BTW, thanks, Apple!) to something else, and one of the options is LR. So, I downloaded the trial version but when launching it presents a window with a fatal error "Cannot create required folder). I am the sole user on my system, I have administrator privileges, I have tried to create a folder in the exact place where LR can't, and I created it with no error messages.. so, what's wrong? I add a copy of my error screen

Correct answer Govardhan.V

Please follow below steps :

1) Right click on Finder icon and select "Go-To" Folder option.
2) You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.( Do not miss ~ symbol)

~/library

3)Then navigate to Application Support>Adobe.

Right click on Adobe folder and select GetInfo option.

Expand the Sharing & Permissions section.

Click the lock icon in the lower-right corner. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted, and then click OK.

Please click on '+' symbol , it will open list of user accounts.

Add all user accounts and then provide "Read & Write" permission to all user accounts. ( If not okay , just add currently logged in user name and Administrator)

Click the Gear icon, and select Apply to Enclosed Item. Close the Get Info dialog box.

Then launch Lightroom application and check.

Let me know if you still face any issue .

As above you need to start your own conversation. TRhere has been many changes to both Windows and OS X since this discussion started and until we know your system setup it is hard for use to help.
