Can't access WebDAV folder

I have enabled WebDAV in Web>Sites>Options and have set up a realm here: /Library/WebServer/Documents/dav
Whenever I try to connect via the Finder it says server cannot be found on the network.
I have also tried connecting via a WebDAV client on my iPhone and receive a #403 error.
What am I doing wrong? Other services I have are working flawlessly: Mail, Web, VPN, AFP, etc.

The similar issue came across once and it was resolved by using webDav client from here: https://secure.cloudsafe.com/pages/topics_clients.html

I can't access an folder - you have unknown permissions

After the update to Mountain Lion, i can't access a folder insider my home-folder any more;
First I tried Apple+i ... you have unknown permissions ... nothing to unlock; nothing to change
... then i tried to repair the permissions; without luck.
Then i saw in the terminal (ls -l), that the group was different; although the owner was right.
I chown -R the folder to alex:staff; (also chmod -R 755)
now it's:
drwxrwxr-x@   44 alex staff   1496 15 Okt 00:28 ALEXKERN <--- THIS IS THE FOLDER

Solved it finally!
After listing the folders ACLs with ls -el

i saw the problem and deleted the ACLs with chmod -a# 0 filename (use two times because rule 1 moves up to 0)

Can't access library folder on Time Machine Backup

I'll try to explain this as clearly as possible...
1) I have wiped my hard drive and completed a clean install of Mavericks. I did this due to persistant problems with disc permissions that I could not eliminate.
2) I did not want to take a chance on introducing problems with migrating a profile from my Time Machine backup so instead of using Migration Assistant, I used Finder to browse the Time Machine backup I made prior to reformatting my drive to simply copy all my necessary data files back onto the drive in my newly created profile.
3) I've reinstalled the majority of programs I use and everything is looking good (no disk permission problems when I've checked using Disk Utility).
4) Mail is working just find with all my accounts having been restored using my Apple ID.
Here's the problem....
I forgot that some of my mail had been stored on my local hard drive. I beleive this mail should be in my user/library/mail folder of my time machine backup. However, I cannot access my User/Library folder in Time Machine. I've tried opening my current (new) User/Library folder in Finder and then selecting "Browse Other Backup Discs" from the Time Machine icon and, although this opens the Time Machine backups, I cannot do any time travel...in other words, although there are many stacks of folders shown in the backup, I cannot move into the past from the present.
Any suggestions on how I can get this Mail folder out of the Time Machine user/library? I know there is some stuff there that I'm going to have to get to.
Thanks!

It woked to get me into my current User/Library of my "new" profile but I cannot move back in time into the actual backups despite the timeline increments on the right side of the screen in Time Machine showing they're are backups for the past several months. I'm stuck on this moment so to speak.
Got to hit the sack...head is swimming. Thanks for the suggestions Barney. Let me know if you think of any others.

How can I access a folder on my iMac?

Hi All,
I have an iMac (late 2010) and a new MB Air (late 2011). I have a document folder on my iMac that I would like to either a) be able to remotely access and manipulate from my Air, preferably not by just sharing screens or b) sync the folder onto my MB Air. Within my local home network, it's not an issue, I can use AirDrop, but when I take my Air on the road, it'd be nice to access the folder of frequently edited documents.
Bonus Points:
I also have a first edition iPad running iAnnotate - is there a way to sync the edited documents from iAnnotate to both my iMac folder and MB Air without having to plug my iPad into iTunes and "Save To-ing" then dragging and dropping over AirDrop?
Basically, I have 3 devices which need to share and sync a folder of documents that I variously edit on any of the 3 devices, but would like to have updated access to from any device.
Thoughts? and Thanks!

This is only my opinion, but I think the absolutely easiest, fastest, most trouble-free, and least-expensive way to do this is to use Dropbox:
http://www.dropbox.com
There are apps for Macs, PCs, and iOS devices.
Install the Dropbox on all your devices.
Using your best Mac, put this important "document folder" inside the Dropbox folder that will be created for you in the Finder.
Your Dropbox will automatically copy anything inside it to every other device. Any changes you make on any device will be reflected on all your devices.
The first 2gb of storage are free. You can get more free storage by jumping through some hoops, or you can purchase more through a premium Dropbox account. 2gb is enough for almost everyone.
Because of iOS's sandboxed app environment, not every app can make use of Dropbox (this is not a problem for Macs and PCs - if an app reads and writes files in any "normal" way, it can use the files synced by Dropbox). I'm not familiar with iAnnotate specifically, but many iOS apps have Dropbox sync built in. If this app doesn't, you might want to contact the developer to add Dropbox support.

Time Machine Can't Access Home folder

I am using OS X 10.8.3 and my home folder seems to have been deleted without saving (malicious activity by family memeber with somehow gained access to his mother's account that has admin privledges). I've tried restore via Time Machine (TM) which has worked in the past for minor file recovery issues but, I cannot access the "home" folder on the backup (external) drive any longer; I can "see" the home folder, but it is lightly shaded. I also am having trouble rebuilding my iTunes library - I can see most, but not all of my tunes - other cannot be found on either the iMac-HD or the TM Backup. Finally, not all of the iTunes purchased material is accessible via the iCloud download (tunes and app downloads). So I am pretty much dead in the water. I hate bringing up stupid questions but I am not a tech sorrt of guy - I can use a hammer without having to know the physics of inelastic collisions, so my apologies. Any suggestions?

Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) and select Restore From Time Machine Backup from the OS X Utilities screen. Select the snapshot you want to restore from. All data on the volume will be erased and replaced with data from the snapshot.

Oracle BI Publisher - can not access Shared Folder , using Oracle BI Server

Hi there,
We have an installed OBIEE and BIP (BI Publisher) system which is the security setting of BIP using "Oracle BI Server".
Our OBIEE security is using the combination of LDAP (authentication) and Relational Table (for grouping user privillege)
The integration connection between OBIEE and BIP is successfull, and I can connect using Administrator to the BIP
But when I assign a general user using group : XMLP_Admin (define in rpd file and relational table), the user can log in to BIP, but can NOT access the Shared Folder.
the error desc : "Error 500: SRVE0199E: OutputStream already obtained"
Anyone can help ?
Thanks a lot
-toni

Did you define Roles and Permissions to the shared folder from BIP Admin?

Can't access network folder

Hello,
My friend is sharing a folder on the school's network. However, in the folder name, there is a $ (music$) which kind of hides it. When I type his machine name, I have a little menu with all of his folders I can mount, but this one is not there because it is hidden (because of the $ symbol). It is the same thing for Windows. But, in Windows XP or Vista, what you can do is go in the Run bar and type in the location like "\\machinename\music$" and the folder opens. I tried to do the same ting in OS X but it unfortunately does not work.
Is there a way I can get access to that folder ?
I would really like to get access to this folder as there are so many great songs.
Thanks a lot for your help !

Well, I don't really know what you mean by allowing sharing, but I can get files from many persons that have Windows on the network. Unfortunately, yes I have tried the smb: thing in the Go menu. Thanks though

[HELP!] Can't access shared folder from Azure Web Role on same Azure Virtual Network

I have an Azure Virtual Network that has a virtual machine acting like an app server running some legacy applications that is writing some files to a folder that is shared.
This shared folder is accessible from other virtual machines within that virtual network without issue.
The problem I am having is that I have an Azure Web Role that is also attached to the above
Azure Virtual Network that is unable to access the shared folder. I know the web role can see the app server as it is able to ping the IP of the machine.
There is some code that needs access to the shared folder to process some of the files that is stored there, but the code won't run because it can not access these files. I used Remote Desktop to see if I could ping the machine, and I can, but I cannot navigate
to the path in file explorer due to access being denied.
Can anyone offer any advice or tips to point me in the right direction to gain access to this shared folder from my Azure Web Role?

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your posting!
Form your descirpiton, I suggest you can refer to Tom Zhang's solution via this
link:
1. Enable Remote Desktop. (You have done this step)
    2. RDP to one instance of your service. Open up IIS Manager and set the application pool identity to use the account that we used for RDP.
    3. On on-premise local machine, right click "My Computer' and select "Manage". Add a new account with the same account name and password as we specified for Remote Desktop.
    4. Give the new account necessary permissions to write file to the shared folder. (I think you have done this step too)
    5. Try running the code again and see if it works.
    6. If it still says "access to path <folder path located on local machine> is denied". Please check the permission of the shared folder again.
    7. If it works, then the next step is to configure the application pool identity using Startup Task instead of using Remote Desktop (See the suggestion inhttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazuresecurity/thread/247ba75e-87d9-497c-9ec6-1fd4e2c7ff90).
But I still recommend you enable Remote Desktop for your web role to check if the Startup Task has successfully configured the application pool identity or not.

Will

Windows users can't access shared folder - only see Library folder.

I created users folders with the same name as the user's login name. (Note: this is NOT a home folder. I have Home Folders shut off). When the Windows user logs in to access their folder, they don't see their files but instead a folder that says "Library".
When I log in with that user's account on my Mac, I can see the correct contents of their folder, but there is also a folder named "99". I found this "99" folder at the root of the server hard drive but every time I delete it, OS X recreates it again.
I don't understand what's going on.

Hi,
Whether you can able to ping the server when the server share is unresponsive?
Check for the events on the server for a clue. Try disabling the AV program for some time and check whether the problem is repeating.
Regards,
Rafic

Can't access event folder

I recently transferred the content of 80 mini-dv cassettes to two external hard drive that where already partially filled up. (I am going to give the mini-dv camcorder to a friend; I am now using a AVCHD camcorder). Soon I will buy an external drive large enough to hold all the content of these cassettes. Should have bought it sooner...
I have not been able to open the content of the two iMovie Events folder. I only have access to the
iMovie Events folder that’s on the internal drive. To distinguish the different Events folders, I added a V1, V2,... suffix. I noted that these folders don’t have the .localised anymore.
I tried importing one of the event folders from one of the external drive to the internal drive; it works but in doing so, I loose all keywords.
Pretty soon I will copy the Events folders from the two external disk I now have to the larger disk I will buy. How should I do it so everything goes smoothly.
Thanks for the help
Pierre Desautels

iMovie should see them. There are three conditions.
1) The drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled)
2) The Event folders must be in the iMovie Events folder at the top level of the drive.
3) You need to restart iMovie before it will see them.
Also, you make a good point about the .localized extension. If your iMovie Events folder does not have this extension, you can add it in the Get Info window.
If you feel like these conditions are met and iMovie still cannot see it, can you please post a screen shot of the Finder Window showing your external drive and contents.

Home Folder greyed out/Can't access home folder

I'm completely unable to view my home folder after a fresh install of mountain lion. I copied my user folder over and created a new user based on that folder. As you can see it will only show me the large home icon instead of my column view. It is able to be accessed from other views however... it's not consistent. There seems to be a huge finder issue with this user. I've also made a test user and everything over there works fine so it's only on this side.
Here is what it looks like from the other user:
Still greyed out... I've tried everything from help from genii at the store to friends who know UNIX well, I've reset ACLs and repaired permissions ot no avail. If you have any ideas for me please lemme know and I'll try them.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Can't access Public folder as guest

Since installing Leopard computers on the network will not connect to my Public folder as guest.
When trying to access the Public folder under 10.4 the "Guest" option is grayed out, although connecting as a user (entering user/pass) is possible.
When trying under 10.5, once I select the computer name from the Finder's window left menu "Connection Failed" appears on the dark-grey bar at the top. Still, like in Tiger, connecting as a user is possible, but when trying to disconnect by pressing the "Disconnect" button on top nothing happens. I get the same "Connection Failed" message and the user remains logged.
Where I may have messed up: I have 2 accounts in my computer (1 admin, 1 standard). I almost never use the admin account so I deleted it's Public folder from "Shared Folders" under Sharing in System Preferences. Then, on the standard account I deleted by mistake the "Staff" group from it's Public folder permissions. When trying to add "Staff" back, the option is not available.
All of that may have nothing to do with my problem, but I know very little about Unix, so who knows.
Any ideas as to why no one can access my Public folder as guest?

That would be in the case I wanted a Guest Account on my same computer to be able to access my Public folder. My problem is with computers on the network. Thanx anyways

Can't Access a Folder Until I "Authenticate"

I’m having trouble managing folders.
I have a folder that I moved to my desktop. Now when I try to drag any file to that folder I’m told the folder “Can not be modified” and I have to “authenticate.” When I click there I have to type user name and password.
I assume there is some way to change this set up.
Any advice?
Thanks

Hi James!
"I have a folder that I moved to my desktop."
Where did you move the folder from, and what type of folder is it?
Is it a System folder, or one that you created?
When you do a Get Info (Command + I keys), how are the Ownership & Permissions set?

How can I access a folder saved in '09 2.3 when it prompts for newer version?

When trying to open an old, well used, file saved in Numbers '09 2.3, am prompted to purchase newer version of numbers. How can I open and keep the file in '09 2.3 in the same format?

If you have any plans to use Numbers cross platform (i.e. do data entry or dynamic display on an iPad or iPhone or collaboration with others) Numbers 3 brings a lot more to the table than it often gets credit for. It is not a temptation, but a powerful piece of software that, unlike Numbers 2.3, is under active development, now syncs well, and for many users already delivers significant productivity enhancement.
If you, and perhaps your clients, are wedded to old-style printing of highly formatted documents, or you like some of the many niche features that don't work well cross-platform, you will be better off sticking with Numbers 2.3 or moving to Excel.
You can run both versions of Numbers on your Mac at the same time with no problem. Numbers 3 will be in your Applications folder and Numbers 2.3 in a subfolder named iWork '09. If you have both versions installed on your Mac, all you have to do to keep the Numbers 2.3 document in the same format is make sure you open it in Numbers 2.3. If you open it in Numbers 3 by mistake (or open it in Numbers for iOS) you can export it back to Numbers 2.3 format from Numbers 3.0 by File > Export to > Numbers '09...
As always, keep backups.
