All folders I create are read only to everyone but me

This is a problem which has plagued us over several operating systems. We create a folder on an shared drive and only the creator can write to it. If the folder is created on the desktop, the permissions can be changed and then copied to the shared drive with permissions intact. Is there a way to get this permissions set to everyone write by default?

That was a silly mistake. Here's what it says, I'm not sure how to interpret it:
drwx---r-x 19 cmirza staff 714 Dec 6 04:39 .
drwxrwxrwt@ 4 root admin 136 Dec 6 16:53 ..
0: group:everyone deny add_file,add_subdirectory,directory_inherit,only_inherit

I have copied tens of directories with JPG pictures from a CD (that I burnt using Windows XP while on a trip overseas) to my iMac's HD. The problem is that all the copied files are read-only now and I cannot edit them... I tried using Finder to make them "writable" but the yellow padlock at the bottom of the Info window of the affected files is disabled (it's pale yellow, I cannot click on it).
My questions are:
a) why are the files read-only in the first place?
did you copy those files while logged in as the current user? if yes, look at the permissions of the files on the CD. in general, when you copy something via drag and drop in finder the owner and the group of the file changes but posix permissions don't change. so if they were read for the owner and the group on the CD they will still be so when you copy them to the disk. this should not normally be the issue with windows burned disks though.
Was it the way that I copied them (drag and drop in Finder)?
no. that was the right way to copy.
b) is there a way to modify the properties of a directory and its content in one single command to remove the read-only attribute?
yes, but later on that.
c) why is the padlock disabled in Finder? I expected to be prompted for my Admin password when clicking the padlock.
that's strange. check the ambient folder. it could be locked for example. re the files sitting in some folder you made or are they on the desktop?
Any help is appreciated.

New Folders are Read Only

Logging in as admin with full priveledges and when I create a new folder on the deskop, it's Read Only. Get info displays Read/Write access but new folders are created as Read Only. I can't figure out why. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply. Have tried repairing permissions with the same result. Do you have the command for creating a folder from the Terminal. I'll try that. I don't know what the umask is but I'll report back. Thanks again for the help. This is very strange.

Photographs all are read only??

Hi folks. I wasn't sure where to put this question so it may not be in the right place. I have the iMac and my wife has a Dell PC (poor thing :0)). I copied all of the photo's she has collected onto a DVD to transfer them to my iMac for editing and future publishing to the web. I use Photo Shop Elements 6 to do this with, but it would not let me edit due to insufficient permissions! I must admit I chuckled when that came up since I took most of these photo's. So I opened Finder, browsed to the directory where the photo's are and using "Get Info" I found that all of these photo's and directories and subdirectories (literally hundreds of photo's) are read only permission. All I'm looking for is a way to make them all read/write en masse. Is there a way?
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Richard
I don't have a-lot of experience with the windows OS's, but do share hundreds of JPEG images every year with PC user's and that sounds like a problem with the photo files or the way they were burned onto the DVD. If you have a MS-DOS FAT 32 formatted External HD, a Flash Drive or Card Reader & Camera Card you should have no problems transferring the Original JPEG Photo Files back and forth between a Windows box and Mac.

Fields for creation of BP in cProjects front-end are read-only

Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner in SAP-Development/Customizing so I hope this question isn't too easy
I can't create a Business Partner using the cProjects front-end (Ressources > Staffing) because the necessary fields and buttons are read-only... (> web-Dynpro Component: DPR_ROL_STAFF; View-Info: VI_SEARCH_CREATE)
I'm using CPRXRPM 450_700 patch 0006
The field-control is standard-SAP (0SAP).
My user-account has all cProject-roles + SAP-ALL
I assume i can change the behaviour of these fields in the Field Control but I can't identify which is the corresponding Object Category to apply the changes.
- Is there a documentation which field belongs to which Object Category in Field Control?
- Or can somebody tell me a procedure to find it out on my own?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
generally it is recommended to use transaction BP or ALE distribution to get the business partner be created.
If you would like to create the BP in web UI directly, the user must have the Structural Authorization, see customizing path:
Collaboration Projects -> Resource Management -> Organizational Management.
It is very HR related topic, you may contact a HR consultant to know more details about it.
Kind regard,

Error ora-12028 while creating a read-only snapshot

Hi !
I'm in trouble creating a read-only snapshot of a simple table.
The Master table belongs to an ORACLE 7.3.4 database instance, while the snapshot site belongs to an ORACLE 8.1 database. The read-only snapshot should have a refresh type FAST, but while I'm running the CREATE SNAPSHOT statement in the snapshot site I receive the following message:
"ORA-12028 snapshot type is not supported by master site string
Cause: Pre-Oracle master sites are not able to support primary key or
subquery snapshots that are able to perform a fast refresh.
Action: Create a ROWID snapshot or use a master table from an Oracle8 site. "
This message doesn't help me enough. Is there anyone who can give me an advice ?
Thanks you all.
Laura

Well laura earlier version doesn't support snap shot based on primary key
u should disable primary key constraint from master site
and create snap shot on the basis of row id.
for further detail mail me at [email protected]

[10.0.7 ESR] Temporary documents are read-only again, even with the "browser.helperAppsbrowser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit" parameter set on "false". Why?

We currently updated from the old 3.6 Firefox to the ESR version 10.0.7. Eversince we've used Firefox we've had a problem with documents being read-only when downloaded temporarily. But we've found the solution by finding the entry
browser.helperAppsbrowser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit
in the about:config and setting it on false. Documents were writeable again, and the world was full of fluffy unicorns and rainbows.
But that doesn't seem to be sufficient when using Firefox 10.0.7 ESR, since that entry is set but all our documents are read-only again. We checked that it is a Firefox issue by deactivating all add-ons to be sure, that it's the browser itself that makes that setting.
What is the cause and how can we change it back to them being writeable again?
Andrea

While that may be best practice, it doesn't help in this case.
We use a system that creates documents by using templates and filling datafields with individual values based on the case that is being worked on. These documents are saved in the system and are only displayed for information purpose.
Still some of these documents have to be altered. The system offers this possibility by letting you edit the temp file and load it back up, so that the altered document is saved in the system. The document gets a unique file name in the temp folder which includes numbers so that the system can identify which document in the system should be overwritten by the altered version.
Since the documents aren't meant to be on the local harddrive anyway but in the system, "save as..." is no real solution in this case.

Hi,
The error is because either the primary database or the secondary database is configured as read only and the callback to create the secondary keys is null. A quick glance of the code, it appears as if you did not set up the secondary database correctly. In the Getting Started Guide for JAVA API chap 10, we have detailed information on what needs to be done as well as a code example. Please refer to http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/gsg/JAVA/index.html and look for Chap 10.

How to create a read only access for database

I am developer but willing to lear some of the dba tasks. I would like to know the steps that i need to take to creat a read only access database that is going to be used for the report development.
I really appreciate if you tell me all the steps I need to create that. I have a full right to do this in the develpment database. thanks

thank you for your reply but it does not tell me how i can set up a read only access acccount for the user. Do i need to create a role and assign the role to the users?

ITunes Keeps Freezing, Music Folders Keep Being Marked Read-Only??? HELP!!

Recently I have been completely unable to access my iTunes for more than 15 seconds before it freezes up and I have to end the program. When I checked the properties for my My Music folder and my iTunes Music folder (and all the folders within these folders), I noticed that the Read-Only box is marked - not checked, but filled with another, smaller box.
When I uncheck the read-only box on all the folders and go back up to the My Music folder, I check the properties and notice that it is STILL marked as Read-Only. This is driving me completely insane, as I can do NOTHING with my iTunes without it freezing. Can someone please help me out???

It's normal for folders to be marked read only, what ever your problem is, it is not this.
Have you seen this article on troubleshooting freezes:

"The selected cells are read-only" error on Custom Field when trying to insert in Datasheet mode

I have a custom field that works completely fine. Yesterday our QA team found out that when trying to insert in Datasheet format, the error "The selected cells are read-only" was thrown. Any ideas? I tried passing the following property to my fldtypes_field.xml file:
    <Field Name="ReadOnly">FALSE</Field>
No luck.Victor Palma

Unfortunately it did not work. I also developed the code and access the field and checked its property called "ReadOnlyField" which is already set to false.
Below is the xml that i am using. Can you please share the xml that you had used?

Can an unique index be created on read only cache group

Hi
Can an unique index be created on read only cache group
Regards
Siva Kumar

No, I do not think so. Creating a unique index could cause autorefresh operations to fail if the data being refreshed contains duplicate values that would not be allowed by the index. You can create regular indexes on a table in a readonly cache group.
