Can't get off of "Custom" sharing & permissions access

I have a 1TB USB drive that I've used to back up customer files on a production G5 Dual 2.0. The G5 has some hardware problems, and is in the shop. I need to access some customer files, so I hooked the drive to my new IMac 27" i5 machine. The drive comes up, but when I try to access it, it gives me a "The ... can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents" error message.
I then do the Command-I thing and get the Info panel up, and under Sharing & Permissions, it shows Custom for the administrator and everybody. When I try to change that to Read & Write, it won't let me.
How do I work around this permissions problem?

Greetings and best wishes,
I hope that VK can help me out as well. I have a small office where we use an iMac (Tiger) as a server (not running server software) that all five Macs in the office access using the same login. No problems for several years until I upgraded three of the connected iMacs to Snow Leopard and now occasionally they cannot access a document they created (permission error) and all the files on the server iMac has 'custom access' as the permission.
Thanks in advance for your help....

    I already have a valid payment method for my iTunes account, but can't get past the Family Sharing setup prompt telling me to add a payment method . What to do?

    I had the same problem and found a bunch of others did, too.  Unfortunately all the posts had no responses!  Anyway, I previously had my payment method linked to my paypal.  I tried changing it to my credit card and it worked.  Don't know if there's a bug with using paypal but that seemed to be the culprit for me.  Good luck!

  • HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

    If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
    If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
    If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
    If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
    Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

  • Can't get off 13x

    uh.. i just bought a 2100 tbred b (aiuhb) and no matter what.. i can't get it OFF 13x...
    apparently...  8 x 140 is 1820...   same with 10 x 140... or even 15 x 140.....
    i swear that the all tbred b's r unlocked...  i really would like to know y i can't get off 13x muliplier...
    any help would b appreciated..
    Ed.
    P.S.  i'm using a k7t turbo 2 motherboard (ms 6330 v5)

    hesho89: I have Turbo2 with 3.6 bios. Multiplier 9 from bios is remapped to 17 and 9.5 to 18. With proper cooling you should be able to boot at 17*133. You must raise the core voltage a bit, though. You can confirm these multis are working by putting 100fsb jumper on your mobo. Then you can boot at 17*100. The problem is: during bootup your cpu is getting its default voltage(1.6V) for a second. If you can´t boot at all at 17*133, you must connect some L11 bridges to get cpu´s default voltage higher. My aiuhb has run 17*139=2363 1.8V (watercooled) for over a month with no problems whatsoever; Prime95 has not crashed once. You can´t get other reasonable multis working without modifying bridges. I didn´t have to modify my 2100+. Your memory seems to be holding you back now -practically every 2100+ runs over 2000MHz with default voltage. Hope this helps you.

  • Can not get more than one computer to access internet

    using airport and can not get more than one computer to access internet wirelessly... currently airport is in bridge mode and internet sharing is set to "off" in network preferences...
    help - what should the settings be in airport and network preferences?

    are using internet connection as dhcp?
    Yes.
    bridge mode seems to only work with pppoe connection to internet which is what my set up is
    But you've never said why you're using bridge mode (I'm not), which -- as I've explained before -- is probably the reason you can connect only 1 client at a time.
    If you'll setup the AX as a regular, main base station, connect using DHCP, and share IP addresses, you should be fine.

    I need to erase all Contents and Settings from my i phone 5 but I forgot the restrictions passcode. How can I get it. ( Idon't have access to i tunes). Thanks.

    Not possible.  You need access to iTunes.
    The passcode will be required to make changes to these settings or to disable Restrictions. Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

  • Can't turn off password protected sharing - Windows 7

    When I turn off password protected sharing in the network and sharing center's advanced settings, I save settings but when I go back in, it's turned on again.  Turning it off doesn't stick.
    This is what seess to be forcing a password and prevents me from setting up a backup to a network share drive.
    Any ideas?

    I noticed there is loads of stuff about problems with Networking Win 7 and XP/2000 PCs etc.  I also couldnt get Password Protected sharing OFF to stick and had problems with Win 7/XP machines loosing sight of each other, when a Win 7 PC was added to a Network.
    I saw some comments about the Guest Account - needs to be about with blank password but the password prot off may not like that
    So, I enabled it, set a blank password on it but turned it Off!!.
    And, as if by magic, Password Protected Sharing OFF engaged OK. 
    First, Using the console.   
    Windows Start - type   mmc   in search box, select mmc.exe which appears at top of Start Window. 
    On the console window do File - Add/remove Snap ins - select Local Users and groups - Add - Local computer.
    Add other snap ins if you wish then OK.  File Save to save your console setup with a 'name'.msc - use the 'name' in the Windows Start search box next time.
    In the console window.
    Expand Local Users and groups, select User folder, Select Guest Acct, Rt Click - Properties
    Ticked - User Cannot Change Password and Password Never Expires
    Unticked - User must change password, Account is disabled, Account is locked out
    Apply then OK
    Select Guest Account - Rt Click - Set Password - Proceed - ensure password fields are blank - OK
    Windows Start - Control Panel - User Accounts - Add or Remove User Account
    Select the Guest Account and Turn it Off
    Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - Change Advanced Sharing Settings  
    Expand Home or Work
    Network Discovery ON
    File and printer sharing ON
    Public Folder Sharing ON
    Media Streaming Off
    Enable file sharing 40-56 encryption machines (if XP/2000 etc PCs in workgroup)
    Password Protected Sharing OFF 
    Hope this helps; I could however be wrong about the logic but lets see what the experts say (please modify/delete as appropriate)!!
    I must admit the 'connectivity' on my Network has improved; PCs not loosing each other.
    Good Luck

    Hello,
    Yes, I agree it someimtes annoying.. If I forget to unsubscribe, I'll be reminded when I see next day "Recieving messages 1 of 370..."
    Have you tried going to "My Subscriptions", check-marking "GarageBand" category, and clicking "Delete". You may need to refresh the page to view the change you've made in "My Subscriptions" area.
    Recently, (I'm not sure if this is your issue or not) I'd been having a problem when I click on "Cancel Subscription to Category" inside the iPod category, which I sometimes subscribe to, it says "You are not logged in, you have read-only access".
    My solution to that was:
    Logout.
    Refresh the page.
    Login again.
    Refresh the webpage.
    Click on "Cancel Subscription to category".
    I believe that's what I do when that happens to me (it might be a variant of that, but along those lines).
    It's a laborious method I will say, but it does work.
    I hope this helps,
    -Kylene
    If any post helps or solves your issue, please mark it that way accordingly. Thank you for helping the boards!

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
