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.
Certainly one of them bumped into an issue attempting to replace LibreOffice at present 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 positive.
We discovered a brand new model of LibreOffice and downloaded the proper [Apple Silicon] model. Once we went to put in it, we acquired this alert: The operation can’t be accomplished as a result of some gadgets needed to be skipped. For every merchandise, select File > Get Information, be sure “Locked” is deselected, after which verify the Sharing & Permissions part. When you find yourself positive the gadgets are unlocked and never designated as Learn Solely or No Entry, strive once more.
Following steering we discovered on-line we went to the previous 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 but it surely by no means stopped displaying the spinning gearwheel whereas we had Get Information open.
We additionally went to Sys Settings > Privateness and Safety > Full Disk Entry and added LibreOffice.
Did a restart, however no pleasure; maintain getting the alert “The operation can’t be accomplished” and so forth,
Anybody have a attainable resolution to this downside?
