Can't change the ownership of a drive after I mount it

Ok so I recently installed Arch on the laptop given to me by my college and it originally came as one hard drive partitioned into two. One was for the operating system which is Windows 7 and data and the other was for storage. I took space from the storage and made another partition for Arch. Nevertheless, I was able to mount the partition with Windows 7 on it but when I mounted the second partition this message came up and tried to change the ownership of it:
mount: warning: /media/Ddrive/ seems to be mounted read-only.
chown: changing ownership of `/media/Ddrive/': Read-only file system
I also tried to mount it with mount -o rw but that didn't help either. Any information will be appreciated.

From the sounds of things if that 2nd partition is ntfs you may need to install the ntfs-3g driver the in kernel ntfs driver tends to only allow read-only mounting.
More info about it can be found here

Can't mount external Hard drive and Can't change the ownership and permiss.

Hello everyone, got a problem and maybe someone here will know. Apple care can't help because this is due to an external piece. I have a hard drive external. I partitioned it into two hard drives. Long ago, I opened the information window for one of my partitioned drives. And changed the ownership and permission to "no access". I do this all the time to keep my files from being read if its not the administrator (me). Just recently I plugged in my hard drive (firewire and USB). Only one drive mounts on the desk top. I cannot see my other partitioned hard drive and I can' access it to change the ownership and permission with "apple key and I".. I can see a trace of the two partitioned hard drives when I use disc utility. But again it won't let me change the ownership so I can mount this again. How do I access my harddrive without refomatting? I have tried to mount this with both of my apple laptops..no luck yet. Please help, anyone.

Hi, Donnie. Welcome to the Discussions.
What part of "No Access" was unclear?
"No Access" means no access for anyone.
To fix this:
1. Launch Terminal, which resides in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
2. At the Terminal prompt, type the following command:
sudo chmod a+rwx "/Volumes/partition_name"
where: partition_name is the name of the affected partition.
3. Press Return.
4. Type your Admin password when prompted, then press Return.
5. At the Terminal prompt, type exit and press Return.
6. Quit (Command-Q) Terminal.
7. Relaunch Finder: Press and hold the Option key, click and hold mouse button 1 on the Finder icon in the Dock, select "Relaunch" from the Finder icon's contextual menu.
You should then see the volume, or be able to use Disk Utility to Unmount it, then Mount it and see it.
Reset the permissions for Group and Other on the partition as desired. Do not change the permissions for Owner.
If you want a volume / partition unmounted at startup, see:
• this tip Mac OS X Hints, or...
• this tip on the OSX86 Project forums.
Good luck!

How to change the ownership of a doc after a specific time in workflow ?

Hi

To prepare a computer for sale or donation, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you paid for an upgrade OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall the original OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.)
The new owner will have to repurchase the software, if need be, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer them either.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

How can I change the ownership of a report in BW?

I am trying to create a role and save a query in it but the query belongs to someone else. When I try to save the query in the folder, I cannot, but when she tries, it works fine. Does it have anything to do with the ownership since she was the one who originally wrote the query?
Points will be assigned. Thanks!

Hi MD,
   The easiest thing is to make a copy of that query, so that you have similar query on your name. Then delete the first query.
     OR
     There is a table which gives you information about the queries in BW called RSZCOMPDIR. I dont think it is advisable, but you can change the owner of the query here. Check if you have to make the changes in any more places.
Hope this helps...

How can I change the BlackBerry Link Network Drive mapping from Z: to something else?

Hello,
I generally have a mapping to my NFS server on Z:, and my iTunes library has a relative path to Z: for all of my music - the fact that Link is automatically picking Z: as my network sync target for my device does not work for me to sync music, or anything really. I can't figure out how to change this value to something else.
I found the registry key: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Research In Motion\Device Manager\Device Settings\<DEVICENAME>\VolumeMapping with a default blank REG_SZ - can I use this key at all to manually change drive mappings for my device? If so, what is the key/value pair I need and will this mess up any assumptions taken inside the Link software for synching?
... Also, I have a Feature Enhancement Request to go along with this issue: Add a "Change drive map letter" button beside the "Turn on wireless connections to my computer" button in Link, and add the same option in the context menu to the 'Device Manager' for the mapping (which currently just says 'Explore').
Thanks for the help,
- Jeff

I do not know a lot about this subject but since Device Manager is not a Device and the BlackBerry Phone is not recognized as a Device in Disk management unless Mass Storage is turned ON it looks as if by design you cannot change the Drive Letter.
Also if Mass Storage is turned On in the Phone Settings File Manager and BB link will not work but the BB Phone will then be recognized as a Device in Disk Management and the Drive Letter can be changed, this has no effect on the Drive Letters for Device Manager.
Normally to change the Drive Letter and Paths of a Device once the Device is plugged you would go to Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management, right click the Device and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
Changing the Registry or Uninstalling Device Manager but keeping BB Link or looking for a Utility that can change the Drive Letter such as the one that many XP users had called TweakUI (only worked in XP) or changing the Drive Letter for your Network may be the only way.

Can I change the default for podcast deletion after listening?

I have only just discovered that many of my cherished podcasts have been getting deleted after I listen to them. I originally set the option to NEVER delete after listening when I first installed iTunes years ago and I haven't change it since. However, I can only assume that it was changed by Apple during an upgrade at some point and I never noticed. The delete after listening option has been set to On for podcasts going back many years (2008 at least).
Two questions:
1. Is there some way to change the default setting to Off?
2. Is there a way to bulk change the setting for multiple existing podcasts?
Thanks.
For what it;'s worth; I'm running iTunes 12.1.2.27 on Windows 7 64-bit on a Dell Latitude laptop.

Choose the Podcast view you are using (either Podcasts/Podcasts or Podcasts/Episode List) from below:
or
and select Delete Played Episodes <Off> from the drop-down menu

How can I change the ownership?

My husband bought a G5 last autumn. During the initial setup, we used my existing .Mac account to logon and register it under my husband's name, and now the darned G5 thinks it's MY computer (which it is not) and the registration process named it "Sally Smith's Computer" (my name is not Sally Smith; just using that as an example). It's not a matter of renaming the harddrive which we can easily do, this seems to be more at the root level and it referenced my .Mac account for the information.
My husband really wants his computer to have his name as it is his business machine. How on earth do we change this?
Sincerely,

Go into System Preferences/Sharing, one of the tabs will show you the name of the computer. It's there that you can change its name.

Can't change the names of my calendars after recent Mobileme upgrade

I am not able to alter the names of my calendars since I upgraded to the new Mobileme calendar. No matter how many times I double click on the calendar I want to change, it doesn't work. Can anyone help?

OK I am puzzled.
If iTunes can't find a file it is shown with an exclamation mark next to the track.
If iTunes can't write to a track, either because it is read only or because of a permission problem, it is greyed out.
Your seem to have a peculiar combination - no exclamation marks but iTunes claims not to be able to find the track, if I understand your original post correctly.
May be we can cut through this by creating an new library. This will loose all counts rating and play lists, but you can put things back if you want after the experiment.
With iTunes closed, drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml to your desktop.
Open itunes and an empty library is created. Use File>>Add folder to Library to add your iTunes Music folder. Can you edit tracks now?
(To put things back, with iTunes closed simply delete the newly created itl and xml files and drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml back into your iTunes folder from your desktop)

Can't change file ownership.

To be careful, I did a new install of Lion on a freshly formatted disk (by installing SL first, of course). One of the first things I tried was Aperture. My Aperture Library is on a separate (SS) disk. When I tried to launch Aperture, it knew where to look for the file (I used Migration Assistant to transfer preferences) but it said it could not open it because of some ownership problem. (I can not say exactly what, because now it will open - I don't know what changed.) However, I still can't change the ownership. Get Info thinks that the owner is the new dummy user I created when I first set up Lion (before Migration assistant), when I try to change the owner with the gear popup at the bottom of "Aperture Library Info", I get the error message "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -8076)."
"Unexpected", of course, is subjective. There is a reason I didn't jump to updating my system disk! I haven't tried repairing permissions, but I'm not optimistic about that.
When an "unexpected" error occurs, why doesn't it trigger an automatic report to Apple?

This program you recommend is fugly and complicated...
You should see the other way to do it!
Most likely...
When the 1st screen comes up, look for the Browse button, select the FAT drive, give it a Share Name, click the Windows (SMB) sharing bar & select Shared , enter your admin PW, click on "Show File System Properties", check Inherit Permissins, give the rights you need...
Any more questions after you Update Share...

How can I change the default driver to OracleXADataSource in JDeveloper

Hello,
How can I change the default oracle driver: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver to oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource in JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.0.2, Build JDEVADF_MAIN.BOXER_GENERIC_090328.0229.5205.
If I modify the file connections.xml from jdeveloper\system\system11.1.1.0.31.52.05\o.jdevimpl.rescat2\connections in the sense that I change the driver class, then in JDeveloper when I test my connection I have this problem: Test failed: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource cannot be cast to java.sql.Driver
Why do I need this XA version of the oracle driver? Well I tried, from a book to reproduce the model of an application: entities, stateless and stateful session beans, mdb, web services and a client to test one part of the model.
And because of the JMS server I need an XA driver.
I deployed to the integrated wls 10.3 and when I test my client, if I use the default driver for the connection the an error message appears tell me either to emulate two-phase commit or to use XA driver.
My application works very well, if I configured in the console of the integrated wls 10.3 a datasource with the same name as my ide/application connection that has for the Driver Class Name: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource in the Connection Pool tab.
Thank you.

Open DIsk Utility and in the toolbar select Disk Image. The file selector will open and you'll have to do three things: 1) just as with any file, name it and point the file selector to where you want it to be saved, 2) near the bottom you'll see name - type iWork 2013 and 3) below that select the image size. Click on size, choose custom and type 1500 MB then click on the Create button.
Some time will pass and then you'll see an external disk pop up on your desktop and/or the Finder window sidebar. Drag the three programs into it and eject it like any other external disk. Now delete the programs from your applications window.
Where ever it was you pointed the file selector to you'll see the file you created. Double click on it and the disk image will mount again.

How can i change the sequence of text element in standard driver program ?

Hi,
can u tell me how can i change the sequence of text element in standard sapscript driver program.. without making a zcopy of standard driver program.
My problem is when MEDRUCK form is getting printed for PO print , header text is coming before item. But the requirement is to come it after item.So how cani do that without making the zcopy of SAPLMEDRUCK program..Is there any enhancement point in SAPLMEDRUCK driver program..where i can put my customise code for changing the sequence of text element ?

Hi,
Just copy the MEDRUCK to ZMEDRUCK. No need to copy the driver program.
1) SE71Menu > Utilities > COpy from Client
MEDRUCK ->>Client 000
New formname ZMEDRUCK
2) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in DE language in SE71
3) Menu > Utilities > Convert original Language
Change DE to EN, save and activate
4) Now open the ZMEDRUCK in EN language
5) Goto Pagewindows > Main window,
Look for the HEADER text Text element, copy the whole code under this Text element just after the ITEM text Text element, and comment the HEADER text above.
Now the Header text Text element will be below ITEM text only. This will full fill your requirment.
Now goto NACE transaction and add the copied ZMEDRUCK to the EF application.
