Canopy - get Access Denied error

Question

I'm learning python (from a very low baseline) and recently re-installed Canopy (on a MacBook) It was working fine before.

Now whenever I try an launch the editor I get a Access Denied error.

Can anyone help? Please bear in mind my inexperience

Thanks

you should give more detail, perhaps a screenshot. It seems to be user authentication problem on your macbook. — scriptmonster, Nov 03 '13 at 14:31
Couldn't add the whole log file so have added the last part. No idea if that helps really. Apologies — user2949919, Nov 03 '13 at 21:29

Since the supplied information is insufficient, the answer is the same. This is about user authentication. I don't know how you open the app but, your app tries to open a file or a process which is could not be opened by your user. If you open your app with root privileges there won't be any problem.
