I am very sorry if this is a duplicate, but although I found similar problems online, I could not locate my exact one.
I have been writing notes for a class I am taking. They are rich text format files created with textedit. One day I tried to open them and I got a permission denied error. I tried changing all of the permissions to full recursive 777:
The command completed successfully. When I used get info it said everyone had permission to read/write. However when I tried again to open the files I got the same error. I did not run any commands as root. The funny thing is that I can read them from the command line without any issues and edit them too.
Please help, I really need this problem to be resolved.
Thanks in advance guys!
[UPDATE]
Some files have mysteriously become unrestricted (not the once that I manually changed the permissions of) without me doing anything. Other files that haven't had problems before are now restricted.
