"You Do Not Have Enough Access Privileges" What?

Report · Dec 20, 2009

I'm beginning an Illustrator CS4 training book that comes with lessons you install on your desktop. The lessons require you to use their files but you are instructed to choose and "Save As" so you will be able to work on them.

Each time I attempt to "Save As" a warning message displays telling me I can't save the illustration because I don't have enough access privileges!!!

Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue? After spending a lot of money on the program plus the book I should have all the privileges I want!!

You need to change the location that you're saving the file. Mine worked when I used Creative Files.

I had this problem in Mac. I was trying to save in Template folder. That was the issue. Make sure you are saving in Desktop or some other place.

Hope that helps someone else.
