Bizarre permissions issue: Can't write to owned folders

Has anyone experienced this and possibly has a fix ?
I used Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate a drive, and everything seems to be OK with the new drive (all the files are there and read properly), except I cannot write to any of the drive's subdirectories, even though I'm the owner.
I can create a new directory at the root level, and it looks like this:
drwx------ 2 jnash jnash 68 2010-08-08 23:44 Test
That directory behaves normally (i.e. I can create new files in it, etc.)
But existing directories with identical permissions and ownership:
drwx------ 69 jnash jnash 2346 2010-07-20 15:43 Lyrics
give me permissions errors when I try to write to them:
% touch Lyrics/test
touch: cannot touch `Lyrics/test': Permission denied
I've tried using chown to reset the ownership, and I've tried using chmod to change the permissions, but nothing has worked. If I execute as the superuser, I can write to these directories, but when I'm executing as myself (the owner: jnash), I'm denied.
I'm stumped... Any suggestions ?
Thanks!

I suggest leaving images out or your equation.
Yeah, in hindsight, I hear ya... not sure why the image approach failed, though--seems simple and foolproof enough...
The reason I didn't do a straight disk-to-disk copy is because my original drive was failing--once I knew I was dealing with a dying drive, I copied it to an image immediately. I could have dragged-and-dropped all the files instead, but I thought the image approach was cleaner...
Anyway, I was very happy that when I diff'd the original drive with the image, it checked out: I was concerned about data corruption from the drive failure, but looked like I caught it in time. Strange about the permissions, though... seems like a bug either with CCC or SL, but maybe it was somehow triggered by the drive's read errors ? (And to explain the read errors, I wasn't getting any actual errors in the Finder or command line, but the drive was sometimes reading and writing very slowly/hanging for 10-20 seconds in the middle of an operation, and I was getting SMART errors: every time the drive hung for a while, then finally finished what it was doing, the "uncorrectable sectors" count on my drive would increase... not a good sign. But, CCC created the disk image without any errors, so not sure what happened...)
At any rate, I didn't lose any data, and once I finish this image-to-tar-to-disk tapdance, it appears all will be back to normal.

Re: please help.. mmapi.. how can i write my own controls for audio process

it is just like
for example when we increase the volume, the player

have you ever created a javaME music player with a volume control?
if you did one and well implemented it, you should have seen that increasing volume (in

Permissions issue: can't sync music to ipod after installing leopard

It says I don't have enough access privileges to write to my music folder, yet I'm the admin and the music folder says I can read and write. Here's the things I've tried:
At first I thought it was an itunes problem so I re-installed itunes to no avail. Then I tried repairing permissions, no dice. Then, I was sure it was a permissions problem when I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, because it said I had "custom access" and there was an unknown user listed along with me (the admin) and "everyone." So after searching on this forum, I tried using these commands (as suggested by djhartman) in the terminal:
To set the owner and group correctly use the following command:
sudo chown -R yourshortusername:staff ~<enter>
Now type your administrator password. (and if needed confirm that you know what you are doing)
This will remove the write permission for everyone except you.
sudo chmod -R go-w ~<enter>
This might "break" your Drop box in Public. This will fix it again (it means set read and write for you, and write only for others)
sudo chmod -R 733 ~/Public/Drop\ Box<enter>
To remove ALL ACLs from your homedir, use:
chmod -R -N ~
When using the last command, I got the message "chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file controlsocket: Invalid argument," but it cleared up the "custom access" issue and got rid of the "unknown" user. So now my music folder says I can read and write, but when I hook my ipod up, itunes continues to give me the message that I don't have enough access privileges to write to the music folder.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

[solved] Permissions issue - can't mount usb device as user, just root

In my last post I learned how to mount a secondary HDD from the command line. Problem is I did it as root. Now I have xfce4 running and I need mount permissions as user.
Here's my fstab:

....and these are the system messages I got when I plugged the device:
Unable to mount "74G Volume":

What do I do here?

Mr. Elendig:
Why not use automounting instead?
To install Arch packages I needed an Internet connection, which required use of a Sierra Wireless card, which required chatscripts stored on another filesystem. In my first Arch forum post ever, the one preceding this one, I learned to mount a device by creating a mountpoint in /media then invoking #mount. After installing all packages and creating a user name, I signed on with xfce4 and plugged in the usb device again. It didn't mount. So I did it manually using sudo. Since that worked I had the idea that adding the mountpoints to /etc/fstab would be useful, so I did. When that didn't work I decided to just ask for help.
So sure, I'm down for some automounting action. How do I do it?

Can't write to locked folders

Can you lock a folder and still write to it in OS X Server 10.4.6?
Under previous versions of OS X Server, I could lock a folder (to prevent it being trashed inadvertantly) and still write files to that folder. Under OSX Server 10.4.6, locking a folder prevents any network user, even the administrator account, from writing to that folder. (Somehow locking the folder makes it read-only to all users.)
Is there a way to lock (protect) a folder and still be able to write to it?
Thank you!

You can use ACLs to limit the ability to delete something. You should check out Gerrit Dewitt's article:

"screen shot can't be saved" and other permissions issues

After having my iMac at the Apple Store for four days solving a problem with "quit unexpectedly" issues with all Apple built-in Apps on OS X Yosemite, I got the machine back with those problems solved. It involved re-installing OS X and restore files from backup. I thought all was well; the Genius Bar dude showed me that it's fixed. He said it took so long because of bizarre permissions issues he'd never seen before.
Now that I've lugged this 40lb machine back home (after verifying the fixes in the store) I now find that several (other) functions don't work. When I try to do a screenshot, I get this message:"Your screen shot can't be saved. You don't have permission to save this file in the location where screen shots are stored." Message could have been more helpful; the "location" is the desktop. Pretty descriptive, though. Seems I can't save anything to the desktop.
I tried creatng a folder on the desktop. Got this message: "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this". Type password and new folder appears. Drag the new folder to the trash, get same message..
I tried copying a file from a network drive to the desktop. I get this dialog: "Modifying Desktop requires and administrator name and password. I clicked "authenticate" and after a 3 minute delay (with "Preparing.." ) I get this dialog; "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this". I type the password and the file appeared on the desktop. Before the work at the Apple Store, this never happened. BTW I have only one user account and it's marked "Allow user to administer this computer". Thinking something might be goofy with the pw, I changed it (took 3 minutes to do, oddly) and rebooted. No joy. Same thing happens when I try to drag something from the desktop to the trash. Long time "moving" message followed by having to provide and admin pw.
I tried to save a Safari attachment to the Downloads folder and got this message: "Safari could not download the file xxxxx because there is not enough free disk space". Since I have more than 600GB of available space, I think the message is wrong and that it's really a permission issue with the Downloads folder.
Tried to reset the password again. Click to unlock the Users & Groups panel, get "System Preferences is trying to unlock Users & Groups preferences. Type your password to allow this".
All this tells me that somehow Yosemite is in "nag" mode (reminiscent of Windows Vista.
Any ideas?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

the perms is 0644 or 0664 but my program can not write in own files .
please help me !!

Are you sure that the tomcat process is run by the right user that actually has permission to write the file?
The file's permissions might be '664' to you, but maybe the tomcat process's user is not in the correct group.

Can't Customize, Change Settings, or Move Files -- Permissions Issue?

Hey all:
Just got a new MBP w/ 10.5.2. Successfully migrated most of my user settings and applications from the old Tiger HDD (old laptop died a horrible death).
The problem is that aside from everything appearing to be the same, I'm finding that I don't have the access to do a whole lot with my own files. Several different problems that "seem" like they're stemming from the same accessiblity/permissions issue include:
Intermittent trouble downloading files with Firefox's default download tool.
Complete inability to change desktop background.
Programs fail to remember setting changes after quit and re-launch.
System Preferences do not remember changes to settings.
Certain files can not be moved, renamed, opened, or deleted w/o admin authorization, or in some cases, at all.
The problems started after I migrated the old system over after having an interim user account running for a few days prior. After migrating, I attempted to reconcile the two together and that's when things got hairy.
In the past couple days, I have tried:
1.) Archive and Install (preserving User settings - now down to just one admin).
2.) Changing permissions to system read/write, admin read/write, everyone read only for the entire /User directory, applied to all enclosed items.
3.) Repairing Permissions (which took about 10 minutes!)
I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm stuck with my OS acting the way it wants to, which is the exact way it was after being archived and reinstalled, no matter what changes I try to apply in the Finder, Preferences, or in any programs.
I'm thinking maybe a clean install and then migrating over the backup I just made on my external HD will get me my stuff without whatever troublesome thing is freezing me out, but I'm not really sure, and I don't really understand much about command lines in Terminal.
Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.

Oddly enough I just had a spastic moment with a mouse click and put my Drop Box in the Trash (I keep the Delete thing in my window toolbar, which is handy, but can lead to accidents)... Since I was playing with it I noticed its absence immediately. Realized what I had done after a moment's reflection, and put it back. Which just goes to confirm something I ALWAYS do before I empty the Trash: open it and see what's in there first, then click empty.
As to whether removing ACLs is for advanced users only: well, up until Leopard that's the way it always was, there were, until now, NO ACLs on the users folders. So should everyone have been an advanced user until now? Did you ever delete a folder in Jaquar or Panther or Tiger and empty your Trash without checking? Indeed, if you use Time Machine, available in Leopard but not before, you are already protected from such goofs, since you can recover things accidently deleted using Time Machine, so actually you are in better shape with Leopard than ever before, WITHOUT the ACLs if you use Time Machine. Until Leopard there was neither belt nor suspenders to automatically protect you from losing data. Leopard supplies both.
The situation reminds me of the continuing debate about virus protection on the Mac. Personally, I have seen various anti-virus programs cause all sorts of problems, and it has yet to protect any Mac system from anything (since as yet there are no Mac system viruses). Anti-virus software may have saved some users of Microsoft Office who share files with Windows users from getting a macro virus in their Word docs, and it might have kept a Mac user from passing on some email virus to some Windows users by forwarding stuff from the Internet. But still.... if you don't use MS Office or forward email junk, you get no benefit and may get some problems.
Same seems to me to be true of ACLs: it is possible to get a benefit (you can't accidently toss your Movies folder and lose data, assuming you mindlessly empty your Trash and don't have a backup), but an awful lot of people are having an awful lot of problems.

Can't Make Aliases - Permissions Issue?

I recently replaced two internal drives with 750 GB SATA drives. Did a clean install of OS X 10.5 from DVD to one of the drives, updated to OS X 10.5.8, and (manually, not auto-update) installed all of the Apple-indicated updates available. Because of previous issues which appeared to be related to permissions/privileges issues, I checked the permissions settings (via Get Info) of each of the Apple-installed applications in the Applications and Utilities folders. All but one of these indicated settings to be:
system Read & Write
admin Read & Write
everyone Read only
The exception was for System Prefs.app, where the settings were:
system Read & Write
everyone Read only
wheel Read & Write (wheel? What's that?)
I was able to create aliases for any and all of these applications.
I then installed the latest HP driver package for my HP 3970 scanner (Photosmart Studio1.0), and checked the permissions status for each of the nine applications produced. Seven of the applications indicated settings to be:
system Read & Write
admin Read & Write
everyone Read only
The exceptions here were:
HP Scan Pro:
rnewby (Me) Read & Write
everyone Read & Write
(unknown) Read & Write
HP Uninstaller:
rnewby (Me) Read & Write
everyone Read & Write
wheel Read & Write
I was able to create aliases for any and all of these applications.
I then installed (in the Utilities folder) CleanApp 3.2.0, with permissions at:
rnewby (Me) Read & Write
admin Read only
everyone Read only
and was able to create an alias of it.
I then installed BIAS Peak LE and an update (to v5.21), with permissions at:
system Read & Write
(unknown) Read & Write
everyone Read & Write
At this point, an attempt at producing an alias of Peak LE failed and produced the message:
"The operation could not be completed because you do not have enough access privileges"
I also noted that with Peak LE selected in the volume window, that the File/Make Alias menu item was greyed-out (inaccessible).
When I went back to attempt making aliases of some of the Apple applications, I found that some of them would now not produce an alias, sometimes producing the same error message and sometimes just doing nothing at all. Which ones are involved seems to be purely arbitrary. Repairing Permissions in Disk Utility had no effect. I've re-run the whole installation process from scratch and wind up the same.
I've looked through the Discussions relating to Permissions problems and such but can find nothing of this nature. All I have here is a bare bones setup of OS X applications, plus three second-party applications, and all of a sudden a problem with a basic function: aliasing. With the possible exceptions of a few Name items ("wheel" and "(unknown)") I don't see any permission entries in Get Info that should prevent me from producing aliases. Can anyone see anything that should be denying me the permissions to proceed?

Jeffrey,
Thanks for your input. While your response is correct, my real concern has to do with why I was able to make aliases of applications in the Applications folder initially, and then a short time later could no longer do so... as if something had caused a change in the Make Alias (menu) command. I am wondering why something like that would happen, and whether it might involve something that may cause additional problems further downstream.

After reinstall, permissions issues even though they say read-write for owner

So I spent all day yesterday rebuilding my system after a power surge from a tripped breaker fried my old hard drive (so much for surge protectors).
Now when I try to register a software plug in, I get an error saying "Access denied. Please check permissions on /Library/Preferences/ [the software in question, it doesn't matter]".
And then, with Safari, when I try to access any website that requires Java applets, I get an error saying that the applet won't load properly, even though I've updated to the most recent version of Java. I'm pretty sure this is because the Java applets are not being allowed to write data to my /Library/Preferences/ folder (or maybe just any folder in the /Library/ folder).
When I run Disk Utility and repair permissions, I'm getting the exact same messages every single time, so even though it's saying the permissions are getting repaired, clearly it's not saving those repairs.
I'm 99% sure that this is a permissions issue following the restore from a previous Time Machine save -- I've seen this before and found a fix involving Terminal commands, but I can't for the life of me find the fix anymore.
I have temporary workarounds for the moment (though it's kind of a pain to have to re-register this software every single time I open the application, and I can have co-workers access the websites that require the Java applets to work, but that's inconvenient for all around), so it's not a pressing issue, but any help tracking down what Terminal commands I should use to solve this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Found the solution...basically the permissions are not automatically cascaded down to sub folders and files so you have to do the following... modified from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2743520?start=0&tstart=0
On the folder that you would like to change, select the Get Info and then click on the cogwheel at the bottom of the Get Info dialog.
Click on the menu pick "Apply to enclosed items ..." and confirm the warning message.
Then the same read & write permissions are applied to all the subfolders of the selected folder.

Where can I learn how to write my own Apple Script?

I am trying to write a script to enable me to schedule email message delivery for a later time for those instances where I'm not around to physically push the send button. I am leary of downoading scripts written by someone else, for all I know they could be Cc'ing thesmelves on every message I send using their script.
So, I'd like to write my own. That is, unless someone has a better and secure way of going about this.
This is somewhat pressing. I would appreciate any feedback you can offer.

There are two parts to your request - generating an email, and sending it on a set schedule.
Generating an email in AppleScript isn't hard - there are numerous examples online of how to do this, but the scheduling element is the tricky part. There's no built-in task scheduler in AppleScript (other than the simple 'delay' command), which is why people often opt for iCal which can run an AppleScript as part of an event alarm. That can get cumbersome, though, depending on the frequency and volume of emails you're sending.
There are a few third-party tools such as iDo or PowerManager, so they might be worth checking out. If you want to roll your own you'll need to work out some method of asking the user when a message should be sent and integrating that into your own task manager - not a trivial topic.

ITunes can't sync - permissions issues

I am receiving permissions issues when trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes. This just started in the last week.
Background: When we purchased the iMac, we imported users from an old system. The user IDs were different. I have had to reset users on several of the system files over time. In this case, I can't determine which files need to be reset to allow my phone to be sync'd.
The following errors are in the console messages. I have also recreated the Address Book and set the user ID on it again to make sure it can sync.

download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
close all browser windows, then run the installer

I can read but I can't write to an external drive - changing permissions

I can read but I can't write to an external drive.
How do I change permissions? None of the helps here on the discussions have helped.
Why would a computer company let me read files but not write? Hahaha. This is insane.
I have to write computer files for work. It's a project due this morning.
Man, I'm going to have to go back to PC.
Just need the compter to write files.

If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.
