LAN Networking / UUID error - "You may need to enter the name and password"

I'm having an issue with networking via ethernet cable. I'm connecting to Windows Vista via ethernet from my macbook pro.
Everything was going hunky dory until today when I connected and tried to copy a folder over from my desktop to a folder on my vista machine.
The error is a three tier one, as follows:
1. +"You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on the computer to change the item name "..." - stop or continue"+
2. +"The item "..." contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?" - stop or continue+
3. +"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."+
This happens with all files and folders that I try to transfer over. I have full permissions on both ends to do this and the folders have full permissions.
I've done a bit of trawling and have found out that if you goto: system prefs - accounts (click unlock) - right click on the user in question - advanced options, you can click on the "create new" button under UUID and create a new UUID digit, then restart. This works!!!!... But...
...it only works for a little while. After transferring a few folders or files accross, it comes up with the three tiered warning: "you may need to enter the name and... etc etc."
This is really annoying.
I've found my initial answers on this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1823835&tstart=45, but this issue seems to go one step further by constantly not allowing me access
Has anyone got any thoughts about what I can do? I've also tried running applejack on startup, but this doens't work either...

Actually I get some other errors as well:
"You may need to enter the name and password..."
Then I click continue...
"The item "filename" contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?"
I click continue...
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
I am copying a text file made from textedit. I have logged into the shared drive on my iMac. I get the same errors coying to my own user folder. Same account on both machines.
But it does copy a blank version of the file to the drive and adds the .txt extension to it. Then I can delete it from the share.

  • "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator"

    I am suddenly getting this message when I try to copy a file from my new Macbookpro to my Powerbook running 10.4.9.
    "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named "file i am trying to transfer". stop continue
    I hit continue and get the error message: "The item "that I am transferring" contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?
    I say continue and get the error: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient priveleges for some of the items."
    My network was working fine until today. I can copy fine to all other computers on my network. But not this one.
    If I initiate a transfer from the Powerbook, everything works fine.
    Ideas?

    I experience the exact issue between a macbook pro and an iMac.
    I can access the files locally on my macbook, copy them on usb-stick, etc.
    but ... when I try to copy the files to my iMac ... it fails with the sequence of questions you mentioned.
    However!
    I can copy whatever I like from my macbook if I use my wifes account.
    So...
    Imho there is a problem when the SAME account is used on both systems.
    In my case, I copied my account from the macbook to the (new) iMac.
    Mac OS X seems to be confused when the same accounts are used.
    Does this makes sense?
    All help welcome.

  • "You may need to enter the name and password for an admin" ....

    Hi everyone!
    I'm getting this error when trying to copy files over to a network drive. First, it'll pop up and say:
    "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named"
    At the same time, it will create an empty file on the target drive. When I click "Continue", it asks me for my username and password, which I happily enter. At that point, it errors out and says "The operation cannot be completed because an item with the name "xyz" already exists".
    I've tried repairing permissions, chmod 777'ing a file, etc. It did work for a short time (it seemed to work while I was at work, but once I arrived home, it quit working and hasn't worked since.) I've tried rebooting as well.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm really puzzled over this!
    Thanks!

  • Help with "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator

    I'm trying to move files from one of my external harddrives to another external harddrive. I keep getting this message "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named "Documents". I also get this for other folders I want to move, but not all folders on that drive.
    I am the administrator, and it only gives me an "ok" button, no option to enter my name and password again.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same problem, trying to copy items from external hard disk to another computer on the network. I can copy without problems from external hard disk to my laptop. But not from external hard disk to another computer on the network, and neither from my laptop to another computer on the network, but ONLY if the files I try to copy from my laptop were first copied from that external hard drive. It keeps popping me up with this message. Please help, or fix.

  • The key could not be obtained. You may need to use the -keystore argument with the specified keystor

    I am getting this error: "The key could not be obtained. You may need to use the -keystore argument with the specified keystore type." when trying to create an apk file using adt. I am following the steps mentioned here: http://blogs.adobe.com/ria/2010/10/28/creating-an-apk-file-using-flashbuilder-4-0/

    Could a self save from premiere cause the problem? By this i don't mean the autosave.
    Autosave is the only kind of 'self save', and is not likely to 'cause' project corruption.
    thnx for your reply. My first question came from a remark of Gakhue:
    "I'm using CS6 and I got that warning, I copied my project file on usb stick and re-opened in a different computer using CS5, it then gave me a few warnings about changing the name and saving it to auto save fault, I clicked away and said yes to each one"
    So i wondered how he did it
    The second question came from the fact that my last save was from 17 minutes after i left my studio. And i am not talking about an autosave. It was the main save of the corrupted videofile. And since i did not do it myself, the only option left is that Premiere did it? Or that premiere does not use the internal Mac clock and is on a different time. Which is not the case (just tested).

  • Hi.  I'm trying to set-up the wireless access times in my Airport Utility.  I need to enter the "Description" and the "MAC Address" of each wireless client before I assign access times. What are these?  Thanks.

    Hi.  I'm trying to set-up the wireless access times in my Airport Utility.  I need to enter the "Description" and the "MAC Address" of each wireless client before I assign access times. What are these?  Thanks.

    Let's say that an iPhone is one of the wireless clients that you want to allow access to the network.
    The Description of this device is anything that you want to specify for easy identification purposes. For example, the Description might be something like......
    Rex's iPhone
    The MAC Address, also known as a Wi-Fi Address is  a unique indentifiction number that is assigned to every device. The number will always follow this form:
    xx : xx : xx : xx : xx : xx, where "x" could be a number or letter.
    To find the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address of an iPhone or iPad.....
    On the Home screen.....
    Tap Settings
    Tap General
    Tap About
    Wi-Fi Address is the item that you want
    If you have a Mac computer......you can find the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address as follows:
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Network
    Click on Wi-Fi on the left
    Click Advanced at the lower right
    The Wi-Fi Address for the Mac is located at the bottom of the window
    Other wireless devices usually have the MAC Address or Wi-Fi Address on the label on the back or bottom of the device

  • Keeps asking for Select a certificate or enter a name and password for network

    everytime i start my mac it asks for "Select a certificate or enter a name and password for network" and when i'll close it and reopen it, it still asks.
    can somebody help with what am i suppose to do?

    If you are currently showing WiFi status in the menu bar, you would see this icon:
    If you see that near the top right corner, click it and choose "Join other network" from the drop down list.
    If you do not see that icon, then go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar), ciick "Network", then choose "WiFi" and choose something (probably "Assist me" at the bottom) there.

    First of all really you should be going through the webserver plugin port if you want to access the other components through workspace.
    e.g. http://localhost:19000/workspace
    If you entering the correct login details and the account you are using is provisioned then you could check out what information is in the logs :- \Hyperion\logs\BIPlus\SharedServices_Security_Client.log
