All SD cards read only

Both the internal Sd reader on my iMAC and a usb external reader read all cards as read/only. If you go to get info, you can't change this setting. In Disk Utility you can't do anything, everything is greyed out. When you insert a card into either reader and then remove it with ejecting, I don't get the error message telling me to eject before removing.
Any ideas any body?

There was a thread from 2009 about this problem: it seems that some sd cards (and/or perhaps some sd card slots) get confused, and indicate read only with the switch at either end, but will indicate read/write status with the switch midway between the ends (perhaps a little bit more toward the unlocked end). This sounds strange, I know, but it worked for me today, with a brand new 64GB card (the first one I've ever used in my 21 month old MBP, which indicated read-only with the switch at either end, but became read-write with the switch in the middle.

All folders changed Read Only

Okay, so recently, just about all my folders (including every subfolder in iTunes and the such) have become read only. So whenever i try to change something, i need to set that folder back to read and write for Me. This is very annoying, and I don't know what happened to make all the folders read only.
Is there some way to change all the permissions on my disk back to Read and Write for Me (the administrator) without going through every single folder?

first, whatever you do, don't try to make everything on your hard drive read+write for yourself. this will invariably brick the system and you'll have to reinstall. there is no other outcome possible.
where exactly are the problem files located? only in your itunes folder? somewhere else in your home directory? what exactly does the permissions panel for such files say?

Best way to make all the items read-only in many pages for a resposibility?

Hi,
We have the following requirement:
We need to make all the fields read-only in 5 standard self-service pages for a particular responsibility. One way is to personalize these pages at responsibility level. Is there any other quick/better way to do it?
Highly appreciate your suggestions on this.
thanks,
Hem

Hem,
Personalisation is easiest and fastest way of doing this. The same requirement can be acheieved by extensions of CO by setting the bean properties rr by SPEL binding by extending VO.
But when I can get something done without coding at all that approach is best, I am sure u agree :)!

PCMICA Media Card Reader only mounts once per session

After I restart and insert my PCMICA media card reader will show up on the desktop but only once. After I eject the card and reinstall it will not show up on the desktop. The card appears in the menu bar but no where else not on the desktop or in a finder sidebar. It acts like it is permanently ejected. The only solution is to restart which is time consuming during a photo-shoot (Sleep/Wake and Finder Relaunch do not solve this). I have two media card readers one for CF cards and a 4in1 for smaller cards. Both act in the same way and once one has been ejected the other wont mount as well. Both cards worked fine in system 10.3.9. System log does not show any difference in loading when it mounts and when it doesn't.

Well, I tried the hardware test and now we know it is a software problem(hardware checks out fine).
I checked out the Delkin website. That was disappointing. Looks like I need to buy more hardware to solve this one. Worse yet if I spend the $100 for two cards they wont work in my next laptop as I plan to get a MacBook as soon as PhotoShop is Intel ready.
So now the question is what do I do with this growing mountain of unusable peripherals. My business is small but we've bought a lot of macs. Close to 50 now. We had a few before Y2K and just before we replace all the PCs with iMacs and G4's. System 8.6 was great and every printer and reader and camera and scanner and external storage device (some going back to 1989) worked great. Now that we have "upgraded" the software so we can do really complicated things like properly viewing web pages and send authorized email nothing works right. I have faxes (Apple 56k in a G4) that can't detect detect dial tone when faxing but can connect to the internet as a modem. Printers that print fine in TextEdit (PS fonts and all) but can't print out of Excel. Dont even get me started about fonts. The list keeps growing and the only answer I hear is to replace perfectly good hardware with new stuff. Then when I do I find the software wont work. (I had to use a old laptop with 10.3 to run the latest software from Version to set up a friends home DSL.) I need to get out of this loop it is costing more than it's worth.

Can we make the time card read only in OTL?

Hi All
can you please suggest a solution for this? Time entries are coming into time card from swipe machine.
We dont want the employees to modify these time entries on tima card. In other words we want the time card to be read only for the employees. Thye should only be able to view the time entries and submit the time card?
Thanks a lot in advacne
Kiran

Kiran,
There is a set of steps that you need to follow to enable any change to timecard layouts. Please follow the Tc whitepaper to make changes and upload using FNDLOAD command. You will also have to upload them with new layout names and update the same in preferences node.

Make all text fields read only after signing form

Hello,
I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
After signing the form the following console error is shown:
this.getNthFieldName is not a function
Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

SD Card read only [Solved]

Hi,
Do not think its an Arch related problem but I have an SD Card which will only mount read-only
mount: block device /dev/sdh2 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdh2,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
It states card is write-protected it not write locked, of course not being able to write to the card I cannot reformat it.
Just wondered if card was faulty? or can I repair the filesystem on it? [ext3]
Thanks

Sharepoint 2010 Library - All documents are Read Only regardless of permissions and clicking edit

Good afternoon all,
I'm running out of places for me to find assistance on this issue, and am hoping you can help. We're running Sharepoint 2010 as our Intranet. Myself and the rest of the IT staff are administrators, and we're looking under a section that we're specifically
in control of where we have documents for our use. One of the administrators reported that he wasn't able to open a document, and neither was I. This was an older spreadsheet that was never converted. I couldn't open it either, nor could I delete it or manipulate
the entry in the library. I could open explorer and open the file that way, or download it through Chrome.
I was able to remove the file, upconvert the file to .xlsx, and reupload it. Now myself and the users are able to open the file, but we can't manipulate it. In addition to this, it seems that any Office file that we attempt to open in Sharepoint opens up
in Read Only. If we click Read Only, and hit Edit, it stays Read Only (once in a blue moon it allows us to edit it). If we hit edit it still says Read Only at the top.
I'm not the most experienced at Sharepoint so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

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.

Sd card read only

Hi Everybody!
I have a Lexar Multi-Use 8gb memory card.
When I plug it in through the air's memory card slot, it says it is read only. I have double checked to see if the card switch was on lock, and it is not. Now the confusing part is that I can not reformat the card, or repair permissions through terminal or through disk utility.
But then when I plug the memory card into the camera, and connect the camera to the computer via usb, the only program that can delete the photos is image capture.
Has anybody else had a similar problem, or know how to fix this issue?

izzmann56 wrote:
Disk utility won't let me reformat it though.. It will ONLY let me verify permissions. Nothing else.
Can you do a low level format on your camera? If not then you may have a card that is failing. Many years ago I had a SanDisk 1GB micro that failed and the first sign of failure was the inability to format the card but I could still write to it.

Flash card read only

I have not been able to write to 2GB SD flash cards. They attach as read only devices. I have tried two different manufacturers, Kingston and Crucial. Both of the cards are FAT 16 formatted. I can read and write to some 512MB SD flash cards that I have. Is there a size limitation? I did not see anyone else with this issue when I searched the discussion groups. Any help is appreciated.

A bit late for the original poster, but ... for anyone else searching for help now, like I just have:
I've just had the same problem, thought it was because I recently installed Leopard. Checked the Lock switch on my SD card, and it was set to allow writing.
In the end, I tried flicking the switch on the card to Lock, then back, and that resolved the issue. The internal mechanism must have been in a different position to the visible switch.

Cannot retrieve all vector objects - reading only last line .. Please help

<pre>
When I test the vector in the method that adds the elements, each line is returned. Testing the vector in the method getData(), all items are returned within the while loop, but the test returns only the last line of in the vector. Can anyone help me out and let me know what I'm doing wrong.
Here's a summary of what I'm doing and the code follows.....
My bean class:
- creates a vector and adds several lines to the vector
- using StringTokenizer and Enumeration, parses the data and checks to see if the line has the required amount of tokens (which is 4). If so, then the string is passed to my main class
In the main class, the string is parsed into its appropriate attribute and then the required ones are displayed in the browser.
//Vector class bean
public SpecBean()
public Vector addData()
vecdata.addElement ("3|4||");
vecdata.addElement ("2|3||1200");
vecdata.addElement ("1|2|Q|");
vecdata.addElement ("4|2|U|4356");
return vecdata;
public String getData()
StringTokenizer st;
String record = new String();
Enumeration enumdata = vecdata.elements();
while (enumdata.hasMoreElements())
record = enumdata.nextElement().toString();
System.out.println (record);
st = new StringTokenizer( record, "|");
int numberOfTokens = st.countTokens();
if (numberOfTokens < 4)
record = "Incomplete Data";
return record;
// end class...
//begin main class -- this is a servlet which is why the
//out.println statements are there
try {
SpecBean specs = new SpecBean();
specs.getItemListing();
token = new StringTokenizer ((String)specs.getData(), "|");
out.println ("<table width=\"100%\" border=1>");
out.println("<tr>");
out.println ("<td width=\"40%\">");
while (token.hasMoreTokens())
String id = token.nextToken();
String orderNum = token.nextToken();
String name = token.nextToken();
String confNum = token.nextToken();
out.println (title + "</td>");
out.println ("<td width=\"20%\" align=\"right\">" + "$" + price + "</td>");
out.println ("<td width=\"40%\">" + notes);
//end main class
Thank you.

<pre>
My apologies. What I was looking to do was return EVERY line from the vector that had an equivalent of 4 tokens and no less. I just realized that the sample data I had entered into the vector only had one line w/ 4 tokens. When this is modified and there are 2+ lines that contain 4 tokens, the only line that is retrieved is the very last line. So if the data in the vector was:
public Vector addData()
vecdata.addElement ("3|4|rtd|222");
vecdata.addElement ("2|3||1200");
vecdata.addElement ("1|2|QsT|");
vecdata.addElement ("4|2|U|4356");
return vecdata;
public String getData()
StringTokenizer st;
String record = new String();
Enumeration enumdata = vecdata.elements();
while (enumdata.hasMoreElements())
record = enumdata.nextElement().toString();
System.out.println (record);
st = new StringTokenizer( record, "|");
int numberOfTokens = st.countTokens();
if (numberOfTokens < 4)
record = "Incomplete Data";
return record;
The output to the browser is
4 2 U 4356
and not
3 4 rtd 222
4 2 U 4356
I did some print statements throughout addData() and getData() to see if all of the objects in the vector were still there and everything checked out until I hit the end of the getData(). Before 'return record' the print statement returned '4 2 U 4356' only. I'm not sure what I have missed to have the getData() method return only one matching line and not all of them.
Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

Fetch all Subsite for Read-only user

HI,
I have a site collection in which the users have only "Read" access.
I would like to fetch all the sites(incuding root site, subsites), which the user has access. How to achieve this in Javascript client object model?
I have tried using get_web().get_webs(), but since the user has only "Read" access, I am getting access denied error when trying to load the site.
How to fetch all the sites(incuding root site, subsites), in the sitecollection using Javascript client object model?
Thanks

Hi,
Refer to following post:

It summarizes as below:
The SharePoint 2010 client object model does not support SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges.
Since you're code runs on the client, the identity can not be reverted to the application pool account. Running code as system account via the client object model would open a security hole and then everybody could write and execute code as an administrator.
Another possible way is to develop a custom web service on the server which run the code in RunWithElevatedPrivilege() method and then call the web service from the client object model.

SD Card Reader only works on restart

I have a 21.5in Mid 2010 iMac running OSX 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion). If I start it with an SC card in the slot, the card is mounted (and the drive and card show up in Disk Utility). If I eject it then re-insert it, it won't mount (and doesn't show in Disk Utility). On restart, it shows up again.
I have read and tried various suggestions on the Apple Forums, and none of them have worked.

I examined the system log as I unmounted the SD card (visible since a reboot) and found the information about the unmounting of the card. When I re-inserted the card, nothing happened. No further log entries. Here is the log (with an interesting error about the LSOF being 'left open':

How to lock a form (all fields read only) using a button (JavaScript)

Hi guys,
I have a form with several input fields, check boxes. Using a button in the form, I would like to lock it using a JavaScript. Locking means in my case that all input fields, checkboxes, etc. are read only (cannot be changed anymore).
I already use the following approach:
data.form.MyInputField.access = "readOnly";
The problem is, that this approach is not comforable from maintenance perspective. I would like a more generic or more simple way.
Generic:
loop over all fields and set them to "read only"
Simple:
xfa.form.lock; // but this does not work
Do you have any ideas how to solve this requirement in another way as I currently do?
Thanks,
Thomas

Now I used the following script:
// set the whole form as container
var objContainer = data.Report;
// call the method to set all fields to read only (recursion)
disableAllFields(objContainer);
function disableAllFields(objContainer) {
     for (var i=0; i < objContainer.nodes.length; i++) {
          switch (objContainer.nodes.item(i).className) {
               case "field" :
               case "exclGroup" :
                    objContainer.nodes.item(i).access = "readOnly";
                    break;
               case "subform" :
                    disableAllFields(objContainer.nodes.item(i));
                    break;
               default:
It works but is there another possibilitiy such like
form.lock;
Thanks,
Thomas
