Airport Extreme - Iomega Minimax 2tb File Sharing set as read only

HI,
I am using an Airport Extreme as home router and to share files in my wireless lan an Usb Iomega Minimax hard disk (not for Time Machine). I am having some issues with file sharing. My problem is that after using for a while, if I left it without activity for a couple of minutes then I can't write anything. Like if the hard disk put itselt in read only mode or there is an issue with permissions (Snow Leopard or Airport Extreme Itself). I try to Disconnect / Connect several times, but with no positive results. If I reboot the airport all back to normal operation.
The error message when I try to copy using an iMac (8.1) is:
The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50).
I can delete any file or browse and view photos or any file. All that I described were using Airport Extreme Firmware 7.5.2. I downgraded to 7.4.2 firmaware and having the same issue as results.
I have in home, the iMac, 3 PC's with Win Xp sp3, and one notebook with win 7 starter edition more, and I am having problems too. I was reading in the communities archive, I understand that exist some problem with file sharing, Any idea? I must to put the airport with 7.5.2. It's a dual band A1301, I think is the 1st generation router, not the latest.
Thanks in advance.
Marcos

[SOLVED]
I changed the Iomega Minimax disk, and put a Lacie Quadra D2 500gb that i have, and force it with the switch [off-auto - on] to always ON mode. The iomega minimax have a switch with ON - OFF position, the auto sleep mode cannot be disabled.The airdisk function perfect now. I can read, write, when I need.
The problem for me wa with Airport Extreme and the internal mount/umount command when disk's goes to sleep.

Arguably, they're both right.
Changing your router changes everything, so your best course of action is to research the respective printer's documentation and determine how to reset them to factory default condition. Then, add them again using System Preferences > Print & Scan.
For that, I recommend you first "reset the printing system" according to these instructions: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system. Its instructions for Lion are identical to those for Mountain Lion.
As the article states, it will remove all your existing printers, leaving the Mac's printing system in a similar "factory default" condition ready for you to create a new print queue for each printer, which you should probably do.
Apple's printing support documents contain a great deal of redundancy, but this one may be a good place to start: OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer to print wirelessly

Can you use airport extreme 802.11n for files backup

Can you use airport extreme 802.11 for files back up and sharing

You can if you connect a hard drive that has been formatted correctly to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups for this type of setup, but you could store regular files this way.

My shared files are all set as read only. How do I sort this out?

I am trying to set up our iMac and MacBook so that they share files.
In System Preferences/Sharing I have set the File sharing to ON, I have selected which folders are to be shared and I have set it so that everyone can read and write the files.
In the iMac files when you check various properties NONE are set as read only, however, when the files are access from the MacBook they are all READ ONLY.
What am I doing wrong and how do I sort this out so that I can access files from either computer and amend and save them without having to change file names?
Please help!!
Karl

I have had similar problems and have given up trying to use the "everyone" user setting. Instead, to give shared access to a folder I add specific users and then set their access level. To add users to a folders sharing profile click on the [+] button at the bottom of the Users column.

EXFAT formatted USB stick - sharing permissions wrong - Read Only - Cannot Reformat - Help please!

EXFAT formatted USB stick - sharing permissions wrong - Read Only - Cannot Reformat - Help please!
Hi.
Having various problems with a USB stick that is formatted in EX-FAT.
It was working fine for a long period.
Yesterday I lent it to a friend to put some things on it.
Now when I try and work on it, I get messages like this.
Mac OS X can’t repair the disk “Disk Name"
You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can’t save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can.
It will also randomly eject the drive.
I have tried to reformat it multiple times, in mac and windows.
[I have never used it in windows previous to this occasion of needing to reformat].
In windows, it crashes the disk when I attempt to format with disk manager [I attempted this due to advice in an internet article].
In Mac , I cannot even try to reformat it, because for some reason the permissions on the USB stick have been set to "read only" and I cannot find any way to change them to read-write, or full permissions, or whatever is appropriate.
I have tried "erase" disk in disk utility. I know how to do a full reformat, but it simply will not allow me to do so.
All the options are greyed out.
Does anybody have any information or links they can point me to?
I've been searching around.
Thanks very much in advance for any advice received.
Running latest mountain lion , 10.8.4, and windows 7 through VMware fusion.

Start over:
select the drive > select the Partition tab > select 1 Partition
select Option > select GUID Partition Table > select OK
name it > click the Apply button > then lastly click Partition

Howto make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?

Hello there,
as an admin @ school I was wondering how to make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?
- In a 2008domain, created a group "teachers"
- created a folder "teacher data" where all teachers have read/write permissions
ideal,a teacher who make's a folder in "teacher data" should be the only oen who is able to add file's to that folder and dele that folder or files. Other teachers may be able to read the content of the folder.
Is this possible to set up and how?
many thanks.
Nico.

Hi Nico,
You could set the permissions below to resolve the issue:
For the root folder "teacher data": give the full control permission to CREATOR OWNER – "Subfolders and files only" and give the read/write permissions to the group "teachers"– "This folder only".

Mandy

Permissions on Android AT200 removable SD card set to read only

Recently the removale SD card on my at200 has been set to read only for all but a few applications. This mean that when editing or trying to save, copy docs on the SD card I get the "not enough permissions" message. Any editing by these applications requires shifting files to onboard SD card and back again.
Toshiba file manager is able to rw OK, but my other file manager fails, as does ezy PDF.
Reading the attributes of the SD card show that it is set to rw for data.p (permissions XML). But looking at info from file manager shows sdcard directories and files set to dr- or -r-.
Is there some way of getting this changed to allow access for all my installed apps? Or even some?
Cheers
rabel

MisterX,
Found this note from zc2 on the xda forum dealing with the same issue December 2011.
"The owners of Honeycomb-powered tablets experience a problem writing to the external SD card, because since v3.2 the permissions for the files there were changed from sdcard_rw to media_rw.
According the file /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, any application with declared permission "android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" should be included to that media_rw group.
But that won't happen.
I made a test application to show the group membership (it just executes the "id" command), and according to its output, the application is not member of the media_rw group, despite the "android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" permission is mentioned in its manifest.xml"
This is somewhat confirmed by a comment returned to me from the AntTek File Explorer developers on an interum work around for this problem (a common one since 3.2)
"While waiting, the simple solution, if your device is rooted, is as follows:
1. Using AntTek File Explorer, active Native mode from application preference.
2. Navigate to /system/etc/permissions.
3. Open platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
4. Add an additional group definition for this permission: <group gid="media_rw" />. It will grant AntTek Explorer (and other applications) permission to writing to removable SD Card. After edited, it will look like:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
5. Save the changes to the file.
6. Restart your tablet."
My tablet is not rooted so this was not available to me, but it appears this is a major issue for Honeycomb, including the version on the AT200. Is there any plans to fix this bug do you think? Or is there a date for the promised update to ICS for the AT200, another prime selling point.
Cheers

Weird error: "Cannot write file summary in a read-only environment"

Disclaimer: We are using an old version of bdb - 3.2.76 but are not able to easily upgrade.
We see this occasionally in production. From looking at the code it looks like critical eviction is happening since more memory is used then the limit we set then eviction is happening but then failing since the env is read only. I'm just wondering how it got to this point. we set the max size (je.maxMemory) to 1572864 bytes.
This is not urgent but is adding noise to logs so any suggestions would be welcome...

Hi Nick,
It is strange to me also that this is happening in a read-only env. Looking at the code, we don't prevent this sort of eviction in the 3.2 release or later releases. Yet we've never seen this problem before.
This sort of eviction only happens when writing is occurring. Of course, in a read-only env there is no writing. The only way I can think of for this to occur in a read-only env is when there is a very large recovery interval -- the amount of log between the last checkpoint start and the end of the log. This can occur if you didn't close the env cleaning when you last wrote to it, or if the last checkpoint just happened to be very large.
So one thing you could try is to ensure that you have a small checkpoint when you write to the log, before opening it in read-only mode. To do this, just before you call Environment.close, call Environment.checkpoint(new CheckpointConfig().setForce(true)). This will do one checkpoint before closing the env, and then another during the close. The last checkpoint should be small.
If you can't do this, or it isn't sufficient, you could increase the je.cleaner.detailMaxMemoryPercentage env config property. This is the max amount of memory (% of total cache) used for the information that is being evicted. Since nothing can really be evicted in read-only mode, there is no harm in setting this to a much higher value than the default (2). I would try 10. This doesn't reserve or waste any memory, it just prevents this sort of eviction from occurring until a larger part of the cache is used. This is probably the simplest solution.
A third approach is to simply accept that this sort of eviction will be attempted, but try to prevent the exception. If you're willing to rebuild JE (and you're not a supported Oracle customer -- please contact us if you are), then you could simply replace the 'throws' statement with a 'return null' in src/com/sleepycat/je/cleaner/UtilizationProfile.java:
    private synchronized PackedOffsets putFileSummary(TrackedFileSummary tfs)
        throws DatabaseException {
        if (env.isReadOnly()) {
            throw new DatabaseException
                ("Cannot write file summary in a read-only environment");
        }--mark

How to set the read only property for dynamic ALV column

Hi All,
I have built one dynamiv ALV and I have one name column inside that ALV for which I have to set read only property based on two column fields that exist in the same ALV,say IS_SP and IS_CORP of type boolean.
If any one of the flag is 'X',i have to make that name column as display only and
If both flag are not set,it should be displayed as ediatable column.
I have written one method as INIT_ALV which gets called when ALV is loaded.
Code is as follows:
lr_column_settings ?= wd_this->alv_all_roles.
lt_columns = lr_column_settings->get_columns( ).
LOOP AT lt_columns INTO ls_column.
CASE ls_column-id.
   WHEN <NAMECOLUMN>. "name column which should be editable/display
Create Input Field
        CREATE OBJECT lr_uie_input_field_ro
          EXPORTING
            value_fieldname = ls_column-id.
     ls_column-r_column->set_cell_editor( lr_uie_input_field_ro ).
    After this,I have to set the read only property based on IS_SP and IS_CORP values,
          CALL METHOD lr_uie_input_field_ro->set_read_only_fieldname
          EXPORTING
            *value = 'IS_SP' or 'IS_CORP'
ENDLOOP.
I dont want to use cell variants also.
Help me to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards,
Divya

Divya - I have done it in the past following these documents. Please read it and try it it will work.
Please read it in the following order since both are a continuation documents for the same purpose (it also contains how to change colors of row dynamically but I didnt do that part I just did the read_only part as your requirement)

Make "File name" and "Files of type" fields read-only in JFileChooser

I try to make the "File name" and "Files of type" fields read-only in JFileChooser dialog. Anybody
knows how to do? Thanks.

You mean so the user can't choose the name of the file to open or save? Not much point in even using a JFileChooser, then, is there? Or did I misunderstand the question?

Accidently changed the "ownership & permissions" access admin setting to "read only"

In the "Get Info" window on my MacBook hard drive icon, I accidently changed the "ownership & permissions" access admin setting to "read only" & now it won't re-boot the operating system. Just displays the Apple logo & running wheel on a white screen . Any advice on how best to re-set/restore would be very much appreciated, thanks

This might help. Otherwise, it might be necessary to reinstall.

Is ProPhoto.icm's permissions suppose to be set to Read Only in CS2/OS X?

I went rummaging around Application Support>Adobe>Color>Profiles and found ProPhoto.icm is set to Read Only as seen in the Get Info Window in CS2 OS 10.3.9.
All the other profiles in this folder are set to Read and Write as are the rest of the Colorsync profiles in the system. Colorsync Utility's Profile First Aid reports ProPhoto needs fixing reporting "Header white point is not D50". Of course it can't fix it because it reports it is locked.
Is there a reason it's locked or is this a repair permission issue?
The only way for me to make ProPhoto Read and Write is to drag a copy to the desktop and change it in the Get Info Window. It's grayed out when it's in the Application Support folder.
I'm using a third party RAW converter-(Raw Developer) with ProPhoto set as my output space and I'm wondering if this permission setting is causing it to randomly crash.

Ok - I understand now, but I'm not able to duplicate this behavior. When I create a group web calendar that anyone can view but only group members can edit, clicking on a time block (to create a new event) opens a login window. I noted that while it does appear to create an event, but when I navigate away from, then back to the web calendar, that event is no longer there. Also, it doesn't show up in the 'Upcoming Events' sidebar on the Wiki's home page.
If I double-click on an existing event, the event opens as if it's going to allow me to edit it. But once I click the 'OK' button, a login window opens. Still, it seems as if I was able to edit the event...until I navigate away, then back to the web calendar page. Then all changes are gone. So it does give the illusion that events can be created/edited by non-group members.
By any chance, are you logged in as a non-group member when you try to create/edit a calendar event, and are these users included in the list of those that can create Wiki's in Server Admin?
BTW: I'm not using Sunbird.

Contact the person who 'gave' you the iPhone and have follow this link:
Prepare your device to sell or give away
If they do not have the AppleID and passcode requested, turn the iPhone
in to your local authorities as it is stolen or lost, and in either case it is not yours
nor does it belong to the person who gave it to you.

Changing sales employee on document set to read only

*Our customer has invoices set to read only for certain users. however they need these users to be able to change just one field - sales employee.*
*Is there anyway this can be achieved??
Edited by: Samantha Glanville on Oct 8, 2009 3:25 PM

If it set up as read only, there is no room for updating even only one field. Better leave this to other more powerful user to change. Otherwise, the read only setting would be overridden.
Thanks,
