Error/warning message "you don't have permission to modify files in this network location"

Hi,
We have a windows server 2008 running, and we access it via remote desktop. And there's this certain folder that all users access, and where we save important files. So, since this is where important files are stored, we wanted to disable deletion (and if
possible moving) of the folder and everything under it. However, it's harder than i thought. Right now, we have the permissions "Delete" and "Delete files and subfolders" disabled already, BUT when we try to save a file to this folder,
we got this warning/error message:
"You don't have permission to modify files in this network location"
The file is saved however, but there's no content. But when we try to cut/copy an existing file to this folder, it works.
Does anyone know how a workaround on this issue. I've already spent days configuring the settings, and when one works, another issue comes up. This is really frustrating.
Thank you.

Hi,
What are NTFS Permissions and Share Permissions of the shared folder? If you remove delete permissions, when someone tried to create a new folder, they couldn't rename it. Without Delete permission, we can open, modify a file and save with the same file name
but cannot create a new file with a new name.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
NTFS Permissions Question - Allow creation but not deletion

Hi
One Must NEVER move or alter any folders named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Projects - or - alike
on DESKTOP/FINDER - Ever ! - ONLY Within the iMovie Program ! else all connections are broken and hard to impossibly to mend !
but rather do as described here under
Moving Event's and Project's
Connection - Either connect one Mac in Target mode to the other via FireWire. Or use an external hard disk !
(Target-Mode - Start one Mac e.g. laptop - BUT keep T-key down during full up-start - Now a FW-symbol is jumping around the screen and it will work as an external hard disk when connected to the other Mac)
A. The External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work for Video. UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things but not for Video whatever program is used (iMovie or FinalCut)
B. Should be a FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me and especially when filling up
C. Do never Move or Alter any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - as this will result in iMovie losing connections to them and repair can be anything from hard to impossibly
D. Moving and Copying must be done within iMovie application and Events to Events - and - Project's to Project's.
E. Moving Project's to Event's - Do not work for me - I have to export project as a QuickTime movie then Import this into Events.
Event's window can show two faces
Like this
or like this
from one hard disk Event - You can move it to the other hard disk
You can not (at least not me) move Event to Project or other way around only
Event to Event and Project to Project

File Vault: You don't have permission to access /~anybody/ on this server.

I tried it on several machines without success:
403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~anybody/ on this server.
Apache/1.3.33 Server at localhost.local Port 80
I can reach the main site on the computer but not the user site if user was setup with File Fault.
I did control permissions and tried this issue on other machines with clean installed 10.4.x
:::[Wed Apr 4 13:19:17 2007] [error] [client 192.168.0.10] (13)Permission denied: access to /~anybody/ failed because search permissions are missing on a component of the path:::
NO SOLUTION. IS THIS A BUG?

If I log in to a FileVault user's account, change the group of that user's home folder to "www" and allow group "---x" permissions, it is possible, from another account, to access "http://127.0.0.1/~filevaultuser". I'm not in a situation where I can test access from a different machine, and my system is PPC, not Intel, but I don't think that should matter. I'm not sure why it is not working for you.
Note that for it to work requires that the user is logged in (otherwise, because of how FileVault works, the "~/Sites" folder doesn't exist), and the permissions along the path "/Users/filevaultuser/Sites" have to allow "www" access. If the user is not logged in, access may fail for a couple of reasons. First, because the "Shared" folder doesn't exist - the home folder is encrypted - leading to a 404 error. Second, the permissions of "/Users/filevaultuser" may be "drwx------" by default (access only for the owner), leading to a permissions error.
It might help to recall that when a FileVault user's home folder is stored in an encrypted disk image "/Users/filevaultuser/filevaultuser.sparseimage", and when they log in, "/Users/filevaultuser" is moved to "/Users/.filevaultuser", and "/Users/.filevaultuser/filevaultuser.sparseimage" is mounted at "/Users/filevaultuser". I.e. the path "/Users/filevaultuser" refers to two different folders depending on whether or not the user is logged in.
..."it writes that if I'm looged in as the user which is using File Vault it should work - but it doesn't."...
I think that statement refers to 10.3 - lower in the article, it says that for Tiger, the "Public" folder won't be visible after logging in. It could also be referring to some changes made to personal file sharing that were made between 10.3 and 10.4, rather than a filevault specific issue.
Just to reiterate, I don't think enabling web sharing for a user that needs the security of FileVault is really a good idea. It might be better to give that user a second non-FileVault account, where they can place their materials. That way, the homepage would be available even if they are logged out.

TextEdit Save Error Message "you don't have permission..."

TextEdit, in both Mountain Lion and now Mavericks,displays what appears to be a fake "Save "error:
"You don’t have permission to write to the folder that the file “XXXXX.txt” is in.
Your changes will not be saved until the problem is resolved."
I have repaired permissions several times with no result. The permissions are clean, not requiring fixing. I am Admin. I should be able to save anywhere, altho I have tried saving in many different places just to test.
It does not ask for the Admin password.
Here's when it happens:
1) Open a document. either new or existing.
2) Type some text in it.
3) Save -- choose destination if new and it seems to work.
4) Start typing in the document
5) After a few seconds I get the above error message that drops down from the title bar at the top of the document.
6) I have to click the OK button and I can go on typing.
Repeat
Save document, type a few characters, get error message, click OK.
Repeat all day long.
Yet it seems that my changes have been saved.
Most annoying.

Wow. Why bother reading the forum if you are convinced the solution isn't going to work before even trying it?
Another viewer besides myself commented above that they repeated the process and it worked for them, so it's not exclusive to my setup.
A search for textedit revealed 97 files. The search took 12 seconds on my eight core Mac Pro.
I quit EasyFind, opened TextEdit and made a simple change in the preferences, saved and then quit TextEdit.
I searched again with EasyFind, sorted by Modified and found eight files had been changed at the exact time I quit TextEdit. One of those is the culprit. I deleted them all.
No, I don't work for EasyFind, nor do I know the people, nor do I receive compensation of any type from them. I like it and recommend it because it just plain works and I like to share good info like that with the Mac community, (BTW, it's free)
Good luck with solving it on your end. If you find a more scientific solution please share it so we can see how it should be done by a real tech support guy instead of an amateur like me. (I was an Apple Var at one time, now I do some support for my friends. I'm on about my tenth Mac, the first being a Fat Mac, and have two Macs and an iPhone at this time. No doubt I have no idea what I'm doing)

It does not happen all the time, but it happened today about 5 times. I finally had to use Safari to get online and get back to Firefox.
I never know when I shut down if it will happen when I reboot and try to get online again. This morning was particularly distressing, since it used to happen once, and then I would quit and restart Firefox and it worked. Today it did not work. What can I do to fix this? Thank you

When using Acrobat X Pro, error message "You don't have permission to save to this location"

Hi, first came across this problem here...
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/797819
But there was no solution offered except to disable some security settings. As this issue was in feb last year, i am wondering if Adobe has the solution as i recently encountered the same problem on Acrobat X Pro.
Please advise.

I had this problem with Adobe Acrobat X on my Windows 7 system using IE9. (Note that I did not receive this error in Firefox as others have also reported in other forum posts.) I spoke with a guy in Adobe support who recommended this solution...
Click on Start, then "Printers & Devices".
Right click on the Adobe PDF printer icon and select "Printing Preferences".
If it's not displayed already click on the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab.
Uncheck the box that says, "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts".
Click "Apply", then "OK" and close all prior windows
That's it!
Finally, when you install Acrobat it should also install an Adobe Add-On in Internet Explorer. It adds a two buttons ("Convert" and "Select") to the IE toolbar area. The Adobe tech recommended using the "Convert" button rather than just printing to a PDF as it "prints more accurately". Note that selecting the drop down arrow you can choose other options like, "Convert Web Page and E-mail".
I hope this helps others.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm using Win 7 Office 2007.

Yosemite Calendar v8: "You don't have permission to modify this event."

Active Directory domain Services – "You do not have permission to modify the group" followed by (Chinese or Japanese characters). Error message

Folks:
I am having an issue with a system, which is throwing a really odd error message. When the user tries to modify the AD group, they receive the following error message:
“You do not have permission to modify the group”, which is then followed by what appears to be Chinese or Japanese characters. In addition, the characters
randomly change, which makes me believe the characters are ASCII values or equivalent, not specific values for any coherent words provided by installed language packages.
Has anyone seen this issue before? If so can you offer any advice?
Thank you.

Hi,
This issue can be caused due to the permissions under Security tab are modified incorrectly.
Please use delete control wizard to reassign the permissions or correct the permissions under Security tab manually.

Unable to access time machine backup. The folder "Documents" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.

My MacBook Pro with 750GB storage refuses to startup due to a problem with logic board (unfortunately I'm in Singapore and there is no Apple store here and zero customer support). I'm trying to access some of the files from the time machine back-up using my MacBook Air with 120GB storage, but I'm unable to open the backup. I receive an error message "you don't have permission to see its contents". Unable to access time machine backup. The folder “Documents” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.
I don't really want to migrate the data from the time machine to the MacBook Air as I simply don't have sufficient storage space on the MacBook Air. The iPhoto library which I'm trying to access is 200GB, which is more than the size of the MacBookAir.
Is there any way I can view the photos and documents stored on the time machine backup.
Thank you very much.

When you setup the Mac, you created a Admin user account with say name X
You ran Migration Assistant and it migrated user Y from the Windows machine.
User Y has different permissions than User X.
User X can't normally access User Y's account.
So what you do is log out of User X via the Apple menu and into User Y, this way you have permission to access the files.
If you want to transfer files from User Y to User X account
Transfer files between user accounts on the same machine instructions
Finder > Go menu > Computer
A window appears with your boot drive, double click on it to open
Inside is Users folder, double click to open it
Inside is your User accounts, double click on the one you want to send files too
Double click on the Public folder drop the files into the DropBox folder,
The permissions will change and can be used in the other user account when you log into it and moved to the appropriate folders.
Applications are typically installed and kept in the Applications folder which is a global access folder all users can access to run them from, but not all users can modify unless they are a Admin user.
Windows programs won't run on a Mac, but they can be instaled into a virtual machine program that is running Windows.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

You don't have permission to access /pls/VIS/oraclemypage.home on this serv

Hi
I have just managed to complete a test installation of 11i (after 4 weeks and 2 sets of disks).
H/W is P3 500, 512 MB RAM 80 GB HDD running W2K advanced server.
Everything went well, and I managed to log in using both sysadmin/sysadmin and services/welcome.
I can log into the database fine using SQL*PLUS or TOAD.
After coming back from lunch, I am now getting the message "You don't have permission to access /pls/VIS/oraclemypage.home on this server" after the login page. I have made no changes and no-one but me has access to the server.
Does anyone have any experience of this error and hopefully a solution?
Thanks
Don

1. check your dbc file in FND_TOP/secure.
2. there is a cfg file under iAS/Apache/modplsql/cfg called wdbsvr.app
check the apps password there as well.
