Following my suggestion, a number of of the seniors I assist have ended their subscriptions to Microsoft 365 and have switched to LibreOffice. This change started some months in the past.
One among them bumped into an issue making an attempt to replace LibreOffice at this time and I visited to attempt to assist.
Right here’s what occurred:
Laptop is a MacBook Air M4 working macOS 15.6. Her current, however older model of LibreOffice had been working simply wonderful.
We discovered a brand new model of LibreOffice and downloaded the proper (Apple Silicon) model. Once we went to put in it, we obtained this alert:
The operation can’t be accomplished as a result of some objects needed to be skipped. For every merchandise, select File > Get Information, be sure that “Locked” is deselected, after which examine the Sharing & Permissions part. When you’re certain the objects are unlocked and never designated as Learn Solely or No Entry, strive once more.
Following steerage we discovered on-line we went to the outdated model of LibreOffice in Functions, did a Get Information, unlocked it and altered My Permissions from Learn Solely to Learn/Write and likewise modified Everybody to learn/write. Ought to add that whereas we have been in Get Information mode, “Fetching” was set to Learn/Write nevertheless it by no means stopped displaying the spinning gearwheel whereas we had Get Information open.
We additionally went to System Settings > Privateness and Safety > Full Disk Entry and added LibreOffice.
Did a restart, however no pleasure; preserve getting the alert “The operation can’t be accomplished” and so forth…
Anybody have a potential answer to this downside?
