Can't copy files to server - multiple instances of same user in getinfo

I can't copy files from one of my desktop computers to a server that I administer, via AFP. When I try to do so, I get the following sequence of messages:
1. "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named [file]"
2. "The item [file] contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?"
3. "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
BEFORE I attempt to copy any given file to the server, Getinfo shows that I have read and write access; unknown has read-only access, and everyone has read only access.
AFTER I attempt and fail to copy the file, another instance of "Me" appears in the Getinfo, with Custom privileges. The other users and permissions remain as above. Even after I unlock the file, I am not allowed to edit permissions for any of the users.
I have repaired permissions on the client. This issue has persisted through 10.5.2 and the 10.5.3 upgrade.
I can successfully copy to the server from another one of my computers. It's just this one client machine that's giving me trouble.
What gives???

It looks like a configuration problem with our servers/network. We have tried several new laptops with 10.6 in different parts of the company, with different network switches and locations, and get the same result. Anything with 10.5 or older has no problem. I broke the raid1 apart on my Mac Pro and installed 10.5 on the second drive, and have no problems now.

Can't copy files to server folder

I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise and need to copy the contents of a CD to one of our W2003 servers. I have a shared folder on the server so I start copying files from the CD, to this folder. Part way through the copy it says "You need permission
to perform this action".
??? I HAVE permission. I'm in the middle of copying files to it. I logged on to the server. My username has full control permissions over the shared folder in question on the share and the file system. I can create new
files in the share, create new folders and I've tried copying the disc to my desktop first and then to the share and I keep getting the same error. I can copy any file off my desktop to this share except the files that came from the disc. Why would
I get this error part way though the copy process?
Thanks!
Edit: I managed to copy all files except "Autorun.inf". Does Windows havd some restriction about copying this file?

Hi,
1.
Please test other CDs to see if the same issue occurs.
2.
Manually insert the CD to Windows Server 2003 machine and copy to Windows Server 2003 to see if the issue occurs.

Can't copy file from SAP-directory to FTP server

Hello,
I can't copy files from the SAP server to the FTP server. The file is created with OPEN DATASET and CLOSE DATASET commands and is placed in the SAP-directory S:\usr\sap\DEV\DVEBMBGS00\work.
I can see and read the file with transaction al11, so I know it's there.
But the FTP command always gives the same error:
S:\usr\sap\DEV\DVEBMBGS00\work\[FILENAME] errno 22: invalid argument
I can connect to the FTP, but the put command keeps failing. Somehow, the file in the SAP directory can't be read, it seems, even when
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Ok, I found out that I have to use SAPFTPA as RFC destination type, instead of SAPFTP, otherwise the folders can't be located.
But with SAPFTPA I can't seem to connect to the FTP server. I've tested the connection with sm59 and it works, but for the FTP it doesn't work. When I use SAPFTP as destination type, it still works.
What can I do?
Thanks.

Can we have Multiple Instance on same Node in Oracle 10g RAC

Hi All,
I am planning to implement the RAC in Oracle 10g.Before that i have one doubt regarding RAC.
My question is "Can we create multiple Instance on Same node(Server) ?"
is it possible.
Any ideas or thoughts would be apperciable.
Thanks in Advance.
Anwar

This is where it is important to keep the separation between 'database' and 'instance'.
A database is the set of files that contains the data (and the redo, control files, etc). A database does nothing by itself, other than take up lots of disk space.
An instance is theCPU cycles (running software) and the memory to control the database.
In Oracle RAC, you can have as many instances controlling one database [at the same time] as you want (within reason). Each instance must be able to access the disk(s) that contains the database.
These multiple instances can be on the same computer (effectively taking up a lot of server memory and CPU for nothing) or they can be on separate computers.
If they are on separate computers, the disk subsystems must be able to be shared across computers - this is occasionally done using operating system clusterware and is the main reason why clusterware is required at all. (This is also the toughest part of the pre-requisites in setting up a RAC and is very vendor dependent unless you use ASM.)
These instances need a communication connection to coordinate their work (usually a separate network card for each computer) so they do not corrupt the disk when they are trying to access the same file, and possibly the same block, at the same time.
In a RAC configuration, instances can be added, started, running, stopped and removed independent of each other (allowing a lot of high availability) or can be started and stopped as a group.
Each instance gets it's own SID, which is in no way any different than a non-RAC SID. It's just the name of a service that can be invoked. The neat thing is that the SID
a) helps the DBA keep things straight by lettiung us talk about 'instance A' (the Oracle software to be running over on computer A) vs 'instance B' when starting, stopping and managing;
b) helps the application by providing targets that can be listed in the TNSNAMES.ORA [against one service alias], which is used by ORacle Networking to provide automated load balance or failover (instance/SID a is not available, I guess I'll try the next in the list)
Hope that helps the concept level a bit.

How to use/sync single data (file) across multiple instances of same application

Currently we have an application (a diagram editor), that have the ability to save and load (serialize) its state in a xml file.
Now we want this application to behave like Microsoft OneNote application. Where multiple users have the ability to access the same file.
Later we may also need to enhance with other things like, (1)what is changed and who changed it, (2)option to resolve conflicts if any.
I came to know about sync framework to resolve this. so far, i have not tried it.
All i want is,
Virtually single file should be edited by multiple instances of same application.
We need a dll (sync framework) that does following
It takes complete responsibility of file handling.
Using this dll, each instance of the application will notify their own changes.
Each instance of the application should have the ability to detect the changes that is recently made (when, who, what are the changes).
My question:
Will sync framework be suitable for this requirement?
If so, is there a demo application that represents this?
- Jegan

Seems like I have found the solution.
In the taskflow there is a property named data-control-scope and I set it to isolated instead of the default (shared) and this seemed to do the trick.
I can now have two instances of the same taskflow running with different ApplicationModules

Can't copy files to network client's folders

We just switched from ARD 2.0 to ARD 3.0. ARD 3.0 is a great product - if it works. I can only copy files to ARD-clients, if I copy to the local hard disk, i. e. if it is a local client or if it is a network client and I copy to the top level of the volume. But if I copy files to the network client's desktop it doesn't work. I think the reason is that the network client's desktop is located on the server and not on the local hard disk.
The same problem occurs if I use the new feature to copy files from or to a client using drag-and-drop with the observe window. It works with the client's local hard disk, but not with folders located on the server. This time there is no error message, but the message "waiting" - and the waiting never terminates.
Has anybody a helping idea? Thanks!

I had the same problem, but I managed to fix it.
In WGM check that the sharepoint of your users Home Folder is set to owner root with Read and Write permissions.
I also created an ard_admin group in WGM and enabled open directory management on the client Macs. (Page 62 of the ARD admin Guide.)

Can't copy files from mounted DMG. What's up??

So all of a sudden, I can't copy files from mounted DMG files. It's strange because if there is one file and I drag it to another location, like desktop, it won't copy. If I drag 2 files from the mounted DMG to the desktop one of them copies. If I drag 3, then 2 copy... it's always all but one of the files... never all of them.
I've tried repairing permissions but nothing works. I'm at a loss...
thanks

Try holding option when you drag the files. This tells the mac to move the files to the desktop of your computer not the desktop folder of the DMG (usually a hidden folder)
If that doesn't work it may be that you need administrative privileges to move the files. Make sure you are logged on as as an administrator by selecting the account tab in system preferences and making sure it says "admin" under your user name. Log on to or create an administration account then try moving the file.
Hope this helps, let me know

Can't copy file to network drive as "The operation can't be completed because the [Filename] is in use

Following upgrade to Yosemite I now can't copy files from iMac to my network HDD in external media center. I have iMac connected by wi-fi to airport extreme and media center connected to airport extreme by cable. I can see the HDD as a network drive on my iMac and can initiate the copy but right when copy process is finished I see "The operation can’t be completed because the [Filename] is in use". I am trying to copy different media files downloaded from internet which are not used by any program and stored on my hard drive. I actually can copy small files of 1mb and it works but anything above 20mb is halted. I can also move/copy/delete the file on iMac. Cant understand the nature of the problem. I tried to format external HDD as EXT2/EXT3/NTFS but same outcome.

How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

How can I copy file/folders from and to hard drives? How can I have two or more windows of explorer so that I can drag and drop from one hard drive to another?

Hi,
I am a new customer (purchased last week) of MacBookPro (latest) and its my first ever Apple laptop.
I am almost lost to find the operating tools.
1. How can I copy files from hard drive to computer and vis-a-versa?
2. Only can browse one but how can I have two or more browses at the same time like in MS windows?
3. No right click works on track pad?
4. Is there application/ program compatible to MS office? If so how much and how can I purchase?
5. Is there AutoCAD program that is compatible to MS Window AutoCAD? and if yes how much and how can I purchase?
I will very much appreciate if you could email me the with the solution/answers please.
Regards,
Khagendra Limbu

1) For some reason this happens once in a while with FAT32 enabled external harddrives. I have no idea why this happens but it most easily solved by reformatting the drive. First make sure you've copied everything from the external drive to your internal harddrive. You've done this earlier so I assume you know how to do this.
Now the reformatting part. Open Finder and go to Applications. Look for the folder called "Utilities". Click on it. In it you find a program called "Disk Utility". Click on it. Now look for the external drive. You probably see two entries for the disk. Click on the one that contains the name of the drive NOT the one that describes the disk (Like for example 320.07 GB Samsung S2 Portable Media).
Now you see four tabs in the righthand part of the window. They're called "First Aid", "Erase", "RAID" and "Restore". Click on "Erase". This opens the tab with (amongst others) a dropdownbox (Format) and a textbox (Name) . In the dropdownbox select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Take note! This selection disables usage of the drive with Windows PC's. If your goal is to share the drive with Windows PC's select the MS-DOS FAT option.
Enter a label for the drive in the textbox Name. Now click on the button "Erase". This will format the drive.
Now when it's done you can copy back all the items you've copied to your internal harddrive earlier.
2) Opening two windows like Explorer on Windows is opening two Finder windows on the Mac. Simply click on the background. In the menubar you items like 'Finder", "File", "Edit", "View", et cetera. Click on "File" and "New Finder Window". Do this two times. Alternatively you can click on the background and press CMD-N two times.
3) You can right click on the trackpad. This however depends on if you've enabled the feature in System Preferences. In the topmenubar click on the Apple icon and select "System Preferences". Now look for Trackpad in Hardware. Click on it. You see three tabs with the names "Point & Click", "Scroll & Zoom" and "More Gestures". Select "Point & Click" and look for "Secondary Click'. Make sure it is checked and make sure it has written "Click or tap with two fingers" written beneath "Secondary Click". When you're done exit System Preferences. Now select the background and tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This should open the contextuel menu with options like "New Folder", "Get Info" et cetera.

Can't copy files to a network share but can copy folders...

I frequently use a network share at work. I can view files off of it fine. I can erase files off it. I can copy folders to it.
However, any time I copy any single file I get the following error.
"The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."
This occurs for every file I've tried. From txt files to jpgs to docs. Everything gives that error and fails. I'm at a loss and it's totally killing my productivity.
It's a linux based share and all permissions on that box are correct. My account can easily copy files from other machines. Also, the fact that files and modifications work on this computer seems to prove that as well. I think it's pretty apparent that the cause of this error is on my laptops end.
I've verified my disk permissions. I have no clue what could be causing this.

Look at this thread for discussion of this issue.

Can't copy files to network share using migrated account

Man this is so bizarre. I got a new MacBook Pro and used the Migration Assistant to copy over everything from the old MacBook Pro. Everything seems to work except I can't copy files to my desktop via a network share.
What's totally bizarre about this is that I can delete and rename files from the network share! I can also drop into the command line and try copying - at first, I get "Operation not permitted", but if execute the command again, it works!
In the Finder, when I try to copy a file, I get a window that says:
"You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named "xxx". If I click stop at this point, a zero-byte file is created on the target machine.
If I click Continue, I get another window that says "The item "xxx" contains one or more items you do not have permissions to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?
If I click Continue, I get a final window that says "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items".
Note that this also happens in the opposite direction when I connect to my notebook from my desktop.
Also note that this only happens with the account that was migrated. I can successfully copy files if I setup a new account.
I've repaired permission on both machines. My old account on the old MacBook Pro still works fine, btw.
I've seen other posts with people having this problem, but I've yet to see a good solution.

I had the same problem, but I managed to fix it.
In WGM check that the sharepoint of your users Home Folder is set to owner root with Read and Write permissions.
I also created an ard_admin group in WGM and enabled open directory management on the client Macs. (Page 62 of the ARD admin Guide.)

Can I copy files to iCloud?

Can I copy files from my MacBook hard drive to iCloud?

No. iCloud doesn't not support general file storage. There are many other cloud options that do, such as Dropbox. Some are listed in Roger Wilmut's site here: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/missing/inicloud3.html.
