Big Permissions Problem: "You Cannot Change The Contents Of This Folder"
I installed Tiger some time ago (and need to upgrade now from 10.4.6 to 10.4.9).
I haven't used it much since some of my software will only run under Panther.
In any case, I'm using it now and have been having big permissions/user accounts problems.
I have two users on the computer "robert" and "ra", both with admin privileges (I set up two because I was trying to get around these problems -- I'd be very happy with just one).
I have 10.4.6 installed on an external HD and boot from that into Tiger (I have Tiger on another external HD as a backup, and my main HD in the iMac has 10.3.9 -- that's what I boot from when I need to run older programs).
In any case, both "robert" and "ra" have ADMIN privileges. But I get weird ownership problems. For instance, if I am logged in as "ra" and try to play a Realplayer file streaming from the web (in Firefox 1.x), I get the error
/Users/robert/Desktop/307e6wz7 could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.
I check the ownership of the "Desktop" folder -- read/write for "ra".
If I right-click I can save the Realplayer file to the desktop.
Same with other links.
I've also noticed other ownership problems (blocked folders at finder level) but can't duplicate tonight. Is this an obscure error, or is there something amiss in ownership recognition? Is there some way I can sort all out? Login in as "root" and set all right?
Thanks

Yes they do. When you installed them you dragged these particular apps to the Applications folder. Doing so automatically attributes the program with the ownership attributes of the account owner who installed them - 'robert.'
Proper application installers install apps under the system/admin ownership. You can try to fix these apps by changing their permissions:
Select the app and CTRL-click to open the contextual menu. Choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Select the Contents folder and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Ownership and Permissions section click on the tiny arrow icon to expose the panel. Click on the little lock icon to authenticate. Change permissions as follows:
Owner = system with Read/Write privileges
Group = admin with Read/Write privileges
Other with Read-Only privileges
Click on the Apply To Enclosed Items button. Close the lock by clicking again on the lock icon.

Problem : "You cannot convert the character set"..Any suggestions?
Hi All,
I have this character inside my internal table, KOÇTAŞ YAPI MARK.TİC A.Ş. and it created a short dump on the program and it says "You cannot convert the character set". But this customer is already maintained inside the table KNA1..
The code is like this one:
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '' IN linebuffer WITH 'EUR'.
TRANSFER linebuffer TO filename. "LENGTH bytes_to_transfer.
the LINEBUFFER here is an internal table.
I think conversion is the key here. Do anyone knows how to convert this thing? Or is it the Unicode system? Could someone please help me to my problem?
Thanks so much guys!
Regards,
MackoyHi,
What i feel here is you are trying to pass totla internal table at once.Internal table may have more than one record.Filename may string which can contain one row.
So instead of that put the internal table into LOOP.
DATA : v_string(200).
LOOP AT LINEBUFFER.
Here your internal table may have non char data type.That is the
main problem.
Note : while concatenating all non char fields of LINEBUFFER
should move to first to temporary char field and conatenate it
CONCATENATE LINEBUFFER-field1 LINEBUFFER-field2
INTO v_string.
ENDLOOP. -
You cannot change the price of an item AFTER I check out!
I ordered an XMEN: Days of Future Past box set with a robot head last night for $17.99 plus tax for store pickup online. The total came out to be a bit over $20. When I checked my email today, I was charged $29.99 for the item, and tax based on the new sale price. This is an increase of more than 50%!
It is not legal to change the price of an item AFTER a price is agreed and someone has paid. I would like someone to fix this, as this is a big deal for your customers.
I would like to know what Best Buy can do about this issue? I live in Minneapolis, and would like to believe that our local businesses aren't cheating their customers, especially those in their hometown.Greetings Kylearin,
I can imagine why you'd be concerned! I'd be surprised too if a price I saw during checkout was not reflected in my order confirmation page.
I've had the chance to review your account and it appears that your order for X-Men: Days of Future Past was submitted on 11/26/2014, shortly after midnight. Since this particular movie was a Deal of the Day item on 11/25 -- and since your order was not received while the lower sale price was in effect -- the price reflected on your order is correct. It's unfortunate if this does not meet your expectations, but remember that you may always cancel your order if you'd like by signing into your account on BestBuy.com.

FavoriteFolder, how to get the content inside this folder
Hi
I have to get with the Java api consumer the content inside the favorite folder. How can i get it?
i write this code:
String searchQuery = search://{'guaglanto1'}?SearchKeywords=true&SearchExact=true&SearchCaseSensitive=true;
ResponseHolder rh = boBIPlatform.get(searchQuery, null);
InfoObjects myFav = rh.getInfoObjects();
if (myFav == null || source.getInfoObjectArray().length == 0){
result="No terms matching the following search query could be found: " + searchQuery;
return result;
result ="";
for (InfoObject infoObject: myFav.getInfoObjectArray()){
result= result+ infoObject.getName() + " has CUID: " + infoObject.getCUID()+ " type "+ infoObject.getKind() + " has childreen "+ infoObject.getChildrenObjects();
Where guaglanto1 is the title of the favoriteFolder.This code show the CUID,name,kind and children of the favoriteFolder. Now i want to navigate this folder and get its content (i see from InfoViewApp there are 5 web intelligent report inside the favorite folder) but i don't know how can i get that.
Anyone can help me to resolve this problem?
thank you
best regard
Andreaonce you get the SI_ID or SI_CUID of the favorites folder you need to write an additional query to pull all its children using:
select * from ci_infoobjects where si_parentcuid='<si_cuid of favorites folder>'
If the favorites folder contains folders with subfolders, this will be a recursive call. You can use query://{select....} or path://
Look at the BIPlatform documentation in API reference and there is more information on how to use query:// or path:// -

Cannot make changes to the contents of this read-only folder
I recently got a new laptop and loaded Office 2013. We have three inboxes in Outlook and are using Cox IMAP. I get the following message when I try to delete emails from the primary inbox "Cannot make changes to the contents of this read-only
folder". Emails can be deleted from the other folders with no problem.
Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it?Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to solve the problem of Outlook inbox folder, please follow these steps: -
Step 1: - If you are unable to delete all emails from a given Outlook folder, most likely that folder is locked.
Restarting Windows should fix it.
Step 2: - If you are unable to delete only some emails, then your
Outlook data file might be corrupted.
Step 3: -
Empty your Deleted items mail folder, then try again to delete emails.
Step 4: -
Hard deletes the selected emails – While the emails are highlighted/selected, keep the
Shift key pressed and hit the Delete key.
Step 5: -
Restart Outlook in Safe Mode and try deleting the emails from there.
Step 6: -
Edit the culprit email (Actions > Edit Message), save it back and try to delete it.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

There appear to be big problems with Mavericks Mail, particularly if it's used for Gmail. Have other users noticed that it slows to a crawl and can't reload the contents of a folder instantly....Is there a fix coming?
There is a large thread relating to Gmail, but nothing that sounds like that.
Nobody here knows what Apple is going to do.
You might try removing the Gmail account and then add it back in. -
Hi all,
RE: Applications problem: "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software."
Until recently, I have not encountered this problem. And I am facing this problem for both my iPad and iPhone.
I only have 1 iTunes account and the most recent change was that I switched the location from Singapore to UK (I'm currently in the UK). I also updated my applications a couple of times before since the change in location, so I doubt it's due to the location change. I've tried signing out of the account in the iTunes accounts on the devices, then signing back in. I've also tried restarting the devices (and for the iPad, I even updated the iOS).
Any idea what else I can do to try to rectify this?
Thanks and regards,
TammyHi there!
Thanks for replying!
1. Yup, my iOS is the latest (6.0.1), and I have 7 apps on my iPhone that apparently have updates. But it's been 6.0.1 for quite some time and I've also been able to update the apps till just this week.
2. I don't have a credit card associated with my account anymore. Ever since I changed the location, I removed the credit card details. But I didn't have problems with any of my apps (updating or downloading new ones) until this week. Also, all the apps I've downloaded since I came to the UK are free apps.
I still don't know what's wrong. -
Table Control BDC to CHANGE the contents problem
Hi,
I am having a problem in BDC. The screen is having a table control and I want to change the contents depending on certain conditions.
This BDC is not to upload the data but to change already existing data.
How can I dynamically know the contents of the screen or contents or the row so that I can select the correct row to be changed?Hi,
No its not like that.
Suppose I want to update/change sheduling agreements <b>not upload</b>
I will be calling the transaction which will list the scheduling lines in a table control. The order of the lines in table control will be as per logic of SAP's Application program.
Now when I read the file and how will I dynamically know the exact line which should get selected.
Say my internal table is having the data to be changed but I can not determine the exact ordering of the records as per table control.
Hence I am facing the problem to know the exact ordering of table control
Let me give another example. Using ME12 transaction I am supposed to delete certain rows from info records say having condition '15EC'.
Now when I call a transction how will I know that for a particular vendor which line will contain this condition value so that can select the line and press delete

Anybody know how to make Epson iPrint work on ios6? Epson told me to use AirPrint, which stinks because you cannot change printer settings.
Epson needs an update to their app to support ios6. I'm sure they will in time.
Try deleting it and re download it. If that doesn't work, it's what I said above. :( -
ITunes cannot read the contents of the iPod " my iPod's name ".
I'm having problems with syncing the 5th gen nano to iTunes 9 on my early 2008 MBP. I had one since September when they came out. It was fine for a while, but then I would get the error message: iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "<my iPod's name>". It got to where it was happening every other night or every night when I would try to sync. Of course it goes without saying that this makes the video camera unusable, since one can't count on retrieving the videos.
I talked with Apple Support on the phone. They were very good. Led me through a rescue-restore. This was described as more thorough than a normal restore. It involves a non-trivial button sequence. Also per suggestions I quit using a non-powered hub. I had been hooking both my iPod touch2 and my nano5 up to the hub to sync (not enough USB ports).
We tried the rescue-restore and things looked OK, but then a couple days later on the evening sync, the message came back. I should also mention that I use the pedometer feature in always-on mode, so of course that data gets lost as well.
I then went to the local apple store genius bar, and they saw the same error message I got when they plugged it in, so they decided to give me a new nano5.
I figured this was really it, but last night, on the second evening sync since the initial setup, the same error message is back with the new nano5. Feel bad because it now seems likely there was nothing wrong with my first nano5 (unless both are bad the same way - seems unlikely), but at the same time, I can't use any nano5 like things are now.
So now it's time for some detective work. I have both a nano5 and a touch2, and I use pedometer in always-on mode on the nano5. I wonder if those might be clues. Last night when the error occurred, iirc I had previously sync'ed the nano5 ok and ejected. Then I had sync'ed my touch2. I unplugged the touch2 and went to sync the nano5 again to update for some playlist changes, and that's when the error occurred. I wonder if iTunes is somehow getting messed up and thinking it is still dealing with a touch2, and it trounces the nano5?
It's probably a long shot, but I think I read someone else here with the same error message, and had a touch.
Any ideas, would love to hear. I'm planning to try only syncing the nano5 on a fresh start of iTunes for a while, and see if that prevents the problem.
Thanks,
JoeOK. How do I uninstall iTunes to reinstall it? Is there an uninstaller? Do I have to chase down plist files or other hidden system things I don't know about? Kind of a dumb question maybe, I've been on a mac at home for like five years now, but uninstalling apps is not something I need to do (that's a good thing).
So, yes, the problem happened again, with the new nano, on the second or third nightly sync (not sure how many days have gone by) since the plane to sync the nano first before the touch. Been using the right usb port also, in case that matters. Used to always use the left. The left port has a non-powered hub that has my time machine disk and a super-duper disk on it, along with an iLoc key. Tonight the two usb disks were not plugged in due to being in the process of be traded out for my other pair (I keep a pair offsite as well - backup-paranoid - but that's another topic).
Do you think it could matter what's plugged into the opposite USB port? Not the nano and the touch only go into the right port straight away - no hub.
Kind of a bummer, this. I hope we can figure it out. Thanks for helping...
BTW, I alway keep all my software up to date.
Joe
