Title: PC DL Error Do not have permission
Post by: gpips101 on September 05, 2013, 04:30:39 AM
I'm trying to download the .bin and .fir files onto my camera but I keep receiving the following error: Cannot copy autoexec.bin "you do not have permission to create this item."

Any idea why this may be happening?

You activated the lock switch on your card - is that possible?

If I did I'm uncertain how I did it, unless it came from the factory that way.
Not sure how to unlock it either

Are you using a card reader?  Did you format the card in the reader and then in the camera before copying the files?

You must read the install guide here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/install.html

Where it says:
Step 1. Preparing your camera..
... you will find below...

Make sure you have a card reader.

This is a very common problem and hope it never happens again to you!  Read the manual first!

In my defense it no where states that I must use a card reader, just to have one. Thanks again for the help.


Noob question...what is a card reader and where does one pick one up?

Why would it state to have a card reader?  Maybe, just maybe, because you need to use it!  ;)
