Verity unstable and permissions errors
Our scheduled task to purge/reindex stopped working. Verity
deleted the collections that it was supposed to index. The ws
folder filled up. I followed the instructions in the TechNote below
to clear the ws. After recreating collections that Verity deleted,
and attempting to re-index I get the following errors in the logs.
I verified that the account under which the service runs has
"modify" permission in Windows. Any idea why we would get the
errors in the log?
ColdFusion TechNote:
ColdFusion MX 7: Indexing a Verity collection fails with a Path not
found error
I forgot to mention that ColdFusion returned an error in the
browser: "General Failure (-2)"

Org.clamav.freshclam and permissions error on freshclam.log
This is an adjunct to a branched discussion in this thread regarding org.clamav.freshclam continually generating error reports in the system log.
After enabling, but not starting, Mail service on my server (XServe Dual-G5, 10.5.8 Server) my system log began filling with the error as per the referenced thread. The first entry when the error cropped up was:
Nov 5 15:23:20 xserve1 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.clamav.freshclam): Unknown key for integer: Iterations
Nov 5 15:23:20 xserve1 org.clamav.freshclam[40472]: ERROR: Incorrect argument format for option --checks (-c)

Nov 5 15:23:20 xserve1 com.apple.launchd[1] (org.clamav.freshclam): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Per the instructions in the referenced thread, I ran
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.clamav.freshclam.plist
I then used pico to edit the org.clamav.freshclamplist file, removing the space between the '-c' and value in the line:
<string>-c 4</string>
I also edited the /etc/freshclam.conf file to change the value:
#DatabaseMirror db.XY.clamav.net
to
DatabaseMirror db.us.clamav.net
I then ran
freshclam -v
followed by
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.clamav.freshclam.plist
Checking the log again, not only had the original error continued whilst I was editing, but also on the relaunch of freshclam a new error cropped up:
Nov 7 08:35:39 xserve1 com.apple.launchd[127] (org.clamav.freshclam): Unknown key for integer: Iterations

(Note: after the first 'Exited with exit code: 1' entry, it only repeated the last four lines as above as it respawned.)
Checking the ownership / permissions on the freshclam.log file showed that the owner/goup was _clamav:admin and the permisions were -rw-r----- which is proper and in line with the other clamav files in the directory. Thinking that perhaps the logfile was corrupted, I deleted it and made a new one, setting the owner, group and permissions as per the original. The log errors continued.
Finally, in desparation, I ran
chmod 660 /var/log/freshclam.log
setting the permissions to -rw-rw---- and the errors ceased!
Now, this is not proper file permissions nor does it explain why freshclam suddenly could not append the logfile, but freshclam is now happily churning away without generating continuous log error entries. For the moment, I am not going to argue with successful results!
-DougHi Fred,
interesting.. but I'm of the mind "If it ain't broke.." and it has been running without problem since applying the fix. I may end up having to migrate Mail services to a different server soon though, so I'll keep it in mind if the error crops up again. Thanks for the tip!

Macbook will not start after sharing and permissions error
I was cleaning around my files and went into the info of my Mac.
I clicked get info on the desktop icon and accidently messed up the sharing and permissions settings.
My computer would not let me into my Mac icon on my desktop, saying I didn't have certain permissions.
I tried restarting and now my Macbook will not startup. It turns on and loads, but never goes past that.
I removed the battery and placed it back in but it is not working still.
Thanks for the help guys!Click here and follow the instructions.

The overnight maintenance scripts and permissions errors
I know that the weekly script modifies some permissions when it runs and then disk utility finds them and repairs them. I saw this one this time:
2008-09-20 20:53:44 -0400: Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .
2008-09-20 21:00:28 -0400: Permissions differ on "Library", should be drwxrwxr-t , they are drwxrwxr-x .
2008-09-20 21:00:43 -0400: Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.
2008-09-20 21:00:43 -0400: Permissions differ on "private/var/spool/cups/cache/rss", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are drwxrwxr-x .
The Library one I am not use to seeing. I wonder if the 10.5.5 update changed something.
Note however, I ran the microsoft office 12.1.2 update before running this one two macbook pros (that are exactly the same). Only one macbook pro had this library thing, but, it hasn't run the weekly script yet either..
anyone "in the know" know about this library thing?Well, I did the 10.5.5 update, ran Repair Permissions afterwards, and did not see /Library error. My /Library is drwxrwxr-t, as it is evidently meant to be. I believe the final "x" on directories is replaced with a "t" to mean that only the owner of files in that folder can delete them. I think it quite possible that it was changed to the more usual x by the the MS Updater. If so, the Repair Permissions process put it back to what it is supposed to be.

I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?
I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question. I followed the instructions in this article:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one. I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable. So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal. Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal). I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.) And it fixed the problem right away.
What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do. It didn't mention Terminal. What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message. -
Has anyone a clue how I can save myself from losing most valuable video clip I have ever taken.? Have a fully up to date Macbbok pro retina and most recent iPhoto. Had 55,000 pictures and a few videos in iTunes database. Just a few months ago also installed iCloud. Now find my London Big Ben Fireworks shot of fireworks at midnight coming from clock just returns -54 error when I click it to play. Did a rebuild and permissions attempt at fixing without success. The front picture of start of video shows at start of pictures but only error box now pops up.
I had a time machine backup that goes back some months and a old computer it may have been on but have not found it yet.
I do not want to risk losing anything. We are just finishing cruise of England and Med on our small boat-home and do not want to lose photos of our memories. Thought they were safe since in iTunes and backed up to TIME machine, and now learn they cannot be pulled out separately... Can anyone help us?
Thanks. I am grateful for any help or ideas while we float out the winter here in England before trying to sail back to America next year.
Happy Holidays.I could not find the original file.
I did find a file folder named MASTERS.
I did click down in it to where all the other original files seem to be listed in order.
They are listed in files showing (name); (date modified); (date created); (size); (kind); and (date added)
There is a symbol showing each file type, with one file type for photos and a separate symbol showing the movies before each file.
All of them that are showing properly are listed in order with their name sequentially, ie:
DSCN4738.JPG
DSCN4739.JPG
DSCN4740.JPG
DSCN4742.MOV
DSCN4743.MOV
DSCN4744.MOV
My valuable movie that now won't play is shown in iPhoto viewing page listing labeled DSCN4741.MOV
I think I find it later...
OUT OF SEQUENCE APPROXIMATELY 14 files later I show the file that is shown on the listing info when viewing now named
New Years Eve Fireworks.MOV 1/1/12 Jan 1, 2012, 12:58 AM 258.1MB QuickTime file Feb 21, 2013, 3:46 PM
NOTE: The creation time is exactly where it should be in sequence but camera taken with was off an hour
Also, all files in list show the Feb 21, 2013 date - which is date Apple Store migrated my old computers files, which would have included my iPhoto library from my old MACBOOK PRO to the new one.
I do now remember that in past I had played some of the files from the computer by clicking on them directly in the early hours of the morning - showing some of them to a friend - while messing around demoing this MacBk Pro Retina...
Though I do not have a clear recall of it recall earlier having a hard time finding this file. I am now certain - based on the circumstantial evidence - I must have changed the name from DSCN4741.MOV to the name shown at the first line of the listing two paragraphs up.
Now my quandary is how do I escape this mess I made for myself and restore it. I clearly am -- despite being 68 -- being more of a "script kiddie" than a "hacker", but not a competent one of either!
Thanks for your help in analyzing this Terence, and hope you can help me fix my screwing it up. Ed -
I have recently purchased this MacBook used and am trying to authorize it on the iTunes Store but even after uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it with a fresh copy I'm getting this error message: "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed." And I have no idea of where or how to fix this issue. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I even tried to deauthorize this computer and got the same error message. HELP!

Log in to your computer using an administrator account.
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type: "/Users" (without quotes) and click Go.
If the Shared folder exists
Open Terminal (found in /Applications/Utilities).Warning: This step involves modifying permission settings by entering commands in the Terminal application. Users unfamiliar with Terminal and UNIX-like environments should proceed with caution. The entry of incorrect commands may result in data loss or unusable system software. Improper alteration of permissions can result in reduced system security or exposure of private data. This option requires a non-blank admin password.
Depending on which version of Mac OS X you have, this step will vary:
On Mac OS X v10.5.8 and earlier, type:sudo chmod -R 777 /Users/Shared
On Mac OS X v10.6 or later, type:sudo chmod -R 1777 /Users/Shared
Press Return.
Quit Terminal.
If the Shared folder does not exist
The following steps will recreate the Shared folder if it is missing and ensure that it has been assigned using the correct permissions.
Open Terminal (found in /Applications/Utilities).Warning: This step involves modifying permission settings by entering commands in the Terminal application. Users unfamiliar with Terminal and UNIX-like environments should proceed with caution. The entry of incorrect commands may result in data loss or unusable system software. Improper alteration of permissions can result in reduced system security or exposure of private data. This option requires a non-blank admin password.

I have microsoft 8.1 and Adobe 11.1.06 and I get a permissions error everytime I attempt to enter data into a form. How do I get rid of this annoying message?
Thanks for your questions.
1 Are these local or online documents?
Answer: Both they are IRS forms. I haven't tried other forms yet.
2. If online, in what browser?
Chrome does allow the fill-in with no errors. IE doe not even open the
form. The error message comes up when I have saved what I did and reopen for
additional editing.
3. What is the exact message you are getting?
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not
have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
Once I close the message I can enter data into the field. When I click the
next field or scroll the message returns. I checked the properties and I
am allowed to fill in form.
Again thanks for your response. I did discover that I could fill in form
online without the error popping up, but that means I must have all of my
info prepared so I can do it in one session.
