Admistrator but cant open files?

i lost some stuff tried to look for it.
cant get into hd/users/daily or
hd/users/iphotoboothinet.
files inthose have a readdotwith white strip.
i didnt set up blocked access and cant find how to unblock/open.
duh,

If you have the passwords to those accounts, log in with them and then select the item in the sidebar of a Finder window which has a house icon. Choose Get Info from the File menu and set the group and everyone access to Read Only. You should now be able to access the contents of that folder. Changing the permissions on subfolders inside that folder may also be required.
There are other ways of getting at those files if you don't know what the passwords for those accounts are but have the administrator password.

  • New computer with 7.01 firefox does not show previous bookmarks tho all other files restored with my ClickFree backup. Found the profile but cant open places.sqlite

    safely transferred all my saved files from old dead Vista to new computer with Windows 7 except for my firefox 7.01 bookmarks & QuickNote add on. i downloaded QuickNote but it is blank too. Found the profile C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\8oy034hg.default & places.sqlite but cant open the file.Windows ask what program I want to open the places.sqlite file & i said Firefox but it doesnt open. How do I open the file & get my bookmarks & QuickNote back. help pls

    Why not install and try Firefox portable, it may well be a good troubleshooting step. Try running it from an external memory stick.
    The threads you referred to
    * [/questions/956861] was closed but never solved
    *[/questions/958824] similar
    Some system information would help
    *How much RAM is installed ?
    *What is the total size of the Hard Disk Drive ?
    *What is the current amount of free-space in GB ? and as a percentage ?
    I try not to use Windows but certainly at one stage a rule of thumb was 20-25% free space should be available. Under about 12% defragging of a disk would likely fail. A page file would need to be larger than the amount of RAM maybe 1.5X , and a hibernate file would be the size of the RAM.
    * Do not Hibernate if you are low on HDD space.
    I suggest you proceed as follows
    #Answer the above questions. I worry you have a lack of diskspace.
    #Do a full scan with multiple and up-to-date anti-malware tools. Do not rely on Avast alone. No tool picks up everything. Report back what you scanned with and what was found.
    #Backup and keep whatever profiles may be good or may contain recent information such as passwords and bookmarks, but do not use them yet.
    #Download a new installer then Do a clean reinstall of Firefox, ensuring that the program folders are deleted before you re-install.
    #Now restart, you expect the first restart to work. Close down and try again does it now work OK ?
    The detailed instructions in the thread you read [/questions/958824#answer-436552] should help you.
    If you have continuing problems is this after a restart of Firefox, or a restart of the Windows Operating System ?

  • I have creative cloud - but cant open acrobat XI pro?

    i have creative cloud - but cant open acrobat XI pro

    I had creative cloud for a year. Something in the program was corrupted, my Mac Pro uninstalled it with Apple’s Security uninstaller which obviously left out some key Adobe unimportant file but the Apple message was an  instruction to reinstall. Sounds simple enough unless you are Adobe and believe your programs are part of the NSA’s drone program both recording your personal calls but also secretly scanning your systems for illegal software. LOL 
    For whatever reason the Install program for Acrobat wan’t on my system, yet the “Creative Cloud” showed that it was indeed installed and performed perfectly with a bug green checkmark. The smarter people are, the harder it is for them to understand simple problems and solutions. Its why they take those people and put them in a corner away from the world. Trying to explain that my Macbook Pro did not use the software written by the hand of god "Adobe uninstall" so trying to run it after the fact just gave me errors. Plus, no where on my system was an Acrobat Install so I'm assuming it was inadvertently deleted by the internal Mac uninstall software.  After several calls to Adobe, maybe 2.5 hrs just trying to explain what happened, and that I need to reinstall Acrobat, so turn off the flag that prevents me from installing a fresh copy. Why? because the twenty year tradition of spending 98% of their development time just trying to figure out methods to prevent licensed users from the egregious sin of trying to install another copy on a second machine, which as long as only one copy was running at a time does NOT violate the approved standard software license.
    So for 7-8 of the 12 months I paid monthly subscription rates, I still do not have Adobe Acrobat and just cancelled the subscription today after they raised it by $10 more per month. I've struggled with this company for over 25 years and they have the most propeller heads of any one on the industry and are proud that only a small few can actually figure out how to use it.  I wish you luck but they provided  me three solutions the tech dreamed up for fixing my problem which underscored their complete ignorance of the MAC OS X Operating System or their own creation of the Creative Cloud that in and of itself, needs removed from every system. I cancelled, and they debited by account anyway. Someone needs to send them a gift wrapped present via email to thank them for the best years of my life.
    I only use Photoshop & Lightroom 5 plus Acrobat. And I truthfully don't need them to obtain it.  The concept is a perfect use of cloud technology, until you add in the Adobe Windows Vista coding combined with their paranoia that someone will figure out a way to utilize two copies on the same license. I'm a finance guy and these are not the things that increase revenue. They just continue to piss off the customer base..
    Make sure you are first installing Creative Cloud and installing and updating from that program that will always run in the background and when you want to peruse their other software, that is where you do it. It is also where they notify you of updates and of course the green check mark which is their lock from you ever being able to download another copy. if you download Acrobat into your downloads but trying to execute it will be a futile effort even though it would solve my and maybe even your issue while the Creative Cloud correctly sees that you have one licensed running copy. However, that solution almost threw him into a virtual coma. But then he reduced himself to utilize common sense and  began to apply what two hours of previous conversation explaining that there had to be a method to temporarily neutralize the cloud monitoring of your system just for five to ten minutes, just enough time to reinstall a fresh copy of Acrobat and insert the same license. After bringing up the full blown acrobat software and its running perfectly, Adobe could reactivate the interface with its web based system and the monitoring of your hard drive, specifically all your Adobe software and now the green check mark actually is correct and you are back in business. However, in Adobe land, I just articulated what was a version of Alice in Wonderland. That solution never happened and therefore i decided to cancel the subscription. Adobe will have a nuclear feature that removes you and probably the software. Then after a couple months, it may be possible to resubscribe and have the system treat you as new, thus allowing the reinstallation of any software which surely had updates or went up to a version slightly higher. However, now I think they have defeated their original marketing scheme and overpriced AGAIN which will drastically reduce their renewals which are auto yearly auto renewals where the user is supposed to receive several emails regarding the renewal date, the price change, etc. Just using my on file account and debiting my account, I can reverse that.
    I wish you much more success during your year long commitment and hope that you at least receive the value of the subscription because Adobe has never been one to offer a conselation by extending your original subscription at your original rate, but we aren’t in OZ and he name wan’t Dorothy.   Best of luck!

  • Wifi connected but cant open web sites

    I use my Ipad for email and surfing whilst traveling at air ports and hotesl.
    Now some wifi sites ok but others sites I get connected but cant open web pages
    WHY any ideas to fix problem

    If you gave some examples of which locations caused problems and details on what happened it would help to give advice. There are many different types of "free" WiFi at these sorts of places. The mechanisms used to allow you to access the wifi are varied, i.e., agreement web pages, credentials, userid/password, etc.
    In some cases, the Safari Autofill feature has interfered with the sign on mechanism used. If this is the case this feature can be turned Off by going to Settings > Safari > Autofill and turning it Off.

    hi, sometimes big images could not open with photoshop.ı can open with windows but cant open photoshop.if ı try to open i am seeing a white image.is there any answer for this problem please.

    Just to assist those who might help you with this, please give the exact version of Photoshop CS6 you are running, for instance CS6 13.0.1.3.
    I had already asked for that in my previous post, but I guess you didn't quite know what I was referencing when I typed "exact version".
    Sorry, I cannot help you myself because I don't deal with that kind of 3D images, don't use Windows, and in all frankness I'm not quite following your last post.
    Also please give the exact model of your graphics card, so they can check whether it is on the list of cards tested by Adobe.

    "Using modified software can make your device useless:"
    Are you serious ? , don't play with me . The device is actually useless right now because of that annoying sim activation process. It's asking me for something I could not do, and there's no button/option to just skip the process. So if there's no option for me, of course I am gonna use modified software, I have no option. The developers did not put a skip button, so I have to use software developed from unknow people that apparently wants to help people suffering with these bad developed things.
