Cannot save in newly created folders

When I connect to the SMB server thing, for some reason, I cannot save to newly created folders that my co-workers make. With I right click on the folder that my co-worker created, it says "You have custom access". And I cannot save my Indesign files in that folder. But when I create a folder, everyone is able to save in that folder. When others create a folder, they are able to save in it as well, except for me. This has never been an issue before until recently.
Do I have permission issues? I ran Disk Utility to fix my permissions but no success. Help please. I just want to save my Indesign files to the server for everyone to access.
The server we are using is the Mac Mini Snow Leopard server thing.
Thanx!

have you tried shutting down your mac, restarting and trying again with a newly created folder. do you have the same issue then?

Why do newly created folders have random creation dates? This is on a Seagate GoFlex USB drive.

Why do newly created folders have random creation dates? This is on a Seagate GoFlex USB drive. Is there a fix? It appears to work fine in the internal drive.

So your hard drive is setup for a PC using NTFS and you have the NTFS-3G driver installed (I wonder which version of the driver). I know many users have reported problems with file transfer speeds being slower on a Mac, but this is understandable due to the 3rd party driver you have to use to access the drive.
There are other higher performance drivers available for a price, like Tuxera but their site shows they haven't updated their drivers since late in 2010. They do say that they are 64 bit drivers but they want about $37 for it. They maintain a support site that has quite a bit on info about NTFS-3G issues.
I assume you've got a freeware or open-source version of the driver from Seagate. It's probably OK for occasional use to access the NTFS drive, but not the way you want to use a drive all the time on MacOS.
Fat32 is compatible with both OS's, but there are some restrictions like not being able to use video files larger than 4GB (actually 1byte smaller than 4GB) and the 2TB partition size limit. Both HFS+ and NTFS have advantages due to the way the OS's can optimize transfer speeds and reliability, but a drive that's plugged into many machines is always going to have compromises until we get native support for NTFS (possible in the future because it's already been tested), or the Windows side supports HFS+ (probably not going to happen). There are programs/drivers on both sides that can accomplish this compatibility, but not native solutions at this time.
Using 3rd party drivers could mean problems with some drives that don't work well or completely break with a system update in the future. Apple doesn't seem to try to break compatibility features, but they do control the transfer protocols and optimize the OS for reliability. Flash drives are mostly formatted with Fat32 and they seem to work well for data transfer with just about any OS.
For me, I've chosen to use a NetGear ReadyNAS NV+ in an Xraid configuration for local storage and Time Machine support, and Dropbox for some files that I can easily transfer to Mac, PC, or Linux by just using a web browser, and I quit installing proprietary drivers to any computer, Mac or PC. I've also got a couple of the USB Fat32 laptop drives (250 to 320 GB) laying around for large file transfers if needed.
Sorry, I got a long way from your original Folder Creation Date issue.

Cannot save email attachments to folders in Finder

Ughhh, I'm getting a sinking feeling.... It's happening again.
Ever since I installed Mavericks back in June of 2014, I've had nothing but problems. In fact, the actual install (perhaps coincidentally, I'm told) caused my hard drive to fail in mid-install, even though it was only 2 years old. Apple Care cheerfully paid for the new hard drive and installed Mavericks for me, but ever since my previously fast, responsive computer has been incredibly sluggish, lots of beach balls, tons of problems with things like the one I'm experiencing again today -- can't save email attachments to folders in Finder (the computer behaves as if the save was successful, but when you go look in the Finder later, you discover it was never saved anywhere). Also, I can't create any new folders because it says the location is Read Only (I've tried various file locations -- same result).
Since June, after countless visits to the Genius Bar and all sorts of attempts to fix the accumulating problems, the Genius erased my User Library last December in a final attempt to get the computer to work right before my Apple Care ran out. It was one of many attempted fixes that would actually work pretty well for a few days, but then the problems would accumulate again.
Last week, Word kept crashing. I took it to the Genius Bar and the June 2014 hard drive failed a diagnostic test. Even though Apple Care had expired, Apple replaced the hard drive for free because they could see the long list of notes from all of the visits I had made to the Genius Bar. I restored everything and, although it seemed to be working okay at first, I was still getting a lot of beach balls. Sometimes it can take 30 seconds to open a Word document, even if the application is already open. (FYI, I don't keep a lot of applications running.) But at least it was working. Today, however, I'm seeing some of the old familiar problems creep in. I cannot save email attachments to a folder. I cannot create new folders. I've tried restarting the computer multiple times. All of this was working fine as recently as yesterday.
1. Am I doing something that is causing this? This is my sixth Mac and I've never a serious problem with ANY of the others (including one that I bought USED) and I use them at least 8 hours a day. As far as I know, I'm doing everything the same way I've always done it.
2. Has anyone else encountered this "Read Only" problem and do you know how to fix it? I'm starting to think this is just a bad computer and that this is a symptoms that something is very wrong again.
3. Do I simply need to start over with a brand new computer (although, frankly, I'm scared to restore everything onto a new computer and risk "infecting" the new one). This is my work computer and I am self-employed, so I really cannot afford to be running to the Genius Bar once or twice a week any longer. Any advice? It's a MacBook Pro that I bought in December 2011. According to the stats, I'm using 354.68 GB of my 499.25 GB storage capacity.
Sorry this is so long. Just trying to give the context.

How do I auto save all newly created contacts to a pre-determined group in Maverick? Could do this on iTunes, can't do it on iCloud...

Hi,
Before upgrading to Maverick, I used to sync all my contacts via iTunes.
iTunes used to have an option to "Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to: (drop-down)".
I had created a group called ' RECENTLY ADDED ', so that every time I saved a new number whilst meeting people / networking, etc, it would auto-save to that group. I would then sync via iTunes, and voila- all my new contacts would be in there.
As a marketer, I allocate my contacts into various complicated groups... so from there, I would proceed to move each contact into their relevant group, and then 'delete' from group (not delete completely). I would repeat this step until all contacts were moved out, leaving an empty 'recently added' group.
The next time i was out networking/saving new numbers, the process would repeat...
Now that I have upraded to Maverick and using iCloud syncing, I cannot find this feature.
The previous method I used worked brilliantly, and I do not always have time to add notes, etc (for a smart group) when saving new numbers.
I'm struggling to find a solution now that I'm using the iCloud syncing service...
Any suggestions to make it easy??

If the information is in iTunes on the computer you have synced with in the past another sync, being sure you select the items you want on the iphone, should copy those things back to the iPhone.

Newly created folders won't open???????? OSX 10.9.2 , firefox 29.0.1

I organized my imported bookmarks from Safari (MacBook) in FireFox 29.0.1 (MacBook). I created a few new folders and sub-folders in the Library view (Firefox/Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Library). Later when I tried opening the newly added folder(s) from the Menu Bar "Bookmarks" tab they would not open (Expand)?
I could still access and open them from (Firefox/Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Library), but not from the top Menue Bar "Bookmarks" tab?
I have clean installed Firefox and the problem is still not resolved?
If anyone has had this problem or has a fix for it your help would be greatly appreciated.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Not able to save a newly created Data Model in BI Publisher.

Hello everyone,
I was trying to create a new Report (my very first report) in BI Publisher. I created a new Data Model and a Data Set. But I am not able to save the Data Model and thus not able to proceed to the report. There's no error shown. Same happens with reports too.
Kindly provide me with a solution.
Regards
Ash

You should have a group called 'XMLP_ADMIN' in your repository and administrator or the user you are using should be part of that group. Look into paint.rpd for all these.

Newly created folders give "staff" read-only permission

When I create a new folder in my home directory it has the following permissions:
Me: Read & Write
staff: Read only
everyone: No Access
Other (non-admin) accounts seem to belong to staff and thus have read access to any non-standard folders in my main (admin) home directory.
1) How can I change the staff permissions on these folders (Finder gives me an error)? Is this only possible using sudo chmod?
2) How can I change the default permissions to stop giving default access to all users through the staff group?
Thx,
Chris

Other (non-admin) accounts seem to belong to staff and thus have read access
to any non-standard folders in my main (admin) home directory.
The easiest solution is just not to keep confidential folders that you create yourself at the top level of Home. You could instead create a single enclosing folder to hold that all that extra material, call it, say, "My Other Stuff", and put it in your Documents folder where it would be protected from all other users. You could then create descriptive subfolders within in it, which would also be protected.
If you still instead want to alter the permissions of folders that you create yourself and you don't want to use Terminal, take a look at [BatChmod|http://www.macchampion.com/arbysoft/BatchMod/Welcome.html].

Re: Illustrator CS5.5 - Will edit but cannot save .ai files created in CS3

Hi! I recently installed Illustrator CS5.5 over CS3 (as part of a CS5.5 CS upgrade). I did not uninstall CS3, as I still sometimes need to use it with collegues who have not upgraded. I am on a PC with Windows 7 (64 bit).
Today I opened an .ai file I had created in CS3 about 6 months ago, edited it and attempted to save it as a CS5 .ai file. It would not alow this, popping up a message saying "Can't save the illustration!".
So, I attempted to save it as a CS3 .ai file, and recieved another error message. In teh end, I just had to close down Illustartor and lose my work. I will re-do it in CS3.
Anyone got any idea what the problem might be?
Help!
Cheers
Angus

Thanks for the response.
No mysteries here…… I just have a common or garden single home PC installation of Windows 7 (64 bit) and the file I was trying to use in CS5.5 is simply a series of charts (graphs) – each in a separate layer - that are then placed in a report. File is 454 kb.

I cannot "save" my newly reduced size video after using the "TRIM" feature...I get "The Operation could not be completed". Why?

I would start with my original AVI file, then hit duplicate to get a duplicate file to work on....I then would use the "TRIM" feature to shorten the video. Then when I hit "close", and it prompted me to name the newly reduced file, and saved it appropriately.So I did this procedure with two of my AVI format videos and it worked flawlessly.
But I have tried to do this same procedure with a half a dozen more AVI videos and it will not allow me to name the modified file after I have "trimmed it" and save it...when I enter the name for the modified file and hit "close", I get the message "The operation could not be completed". Why isn't it allowing me to save the files??
(I am working with OSX 10.7.3, Quicktime Player 10.1 iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core i3)

my os is windows 7. elements 12 worked fine for many months then save for the web stopped working

Can't rename newly created Folders

I updated to Tiger 10.4.9. Now I cannot rename any folders, new or existing. If I do "Get Info," the screen goes blank then returns to regular without changes to the folder.
regards, Gordon

Gordon,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like your problem may be either a Finder or Contextual Menu issue.
Before you try anything else, Repair Disk Permissions.
If it is a Finder issue, it may be helpful to find the com.apple.finder.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag it to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check for normal finder behavior.
If it is a Contextual Menu problem, can you identify any corrupted or incompatible third party files in the following folders:?
Macintosh HD/System/Library/Contextual Menu Items
Macintosh HD/Library/Contextual Menu Items
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Contextual Menu Items
If so, you may be able to uninstall/reinstall the associated application.
Consider temporary sequential manual removal/isolation of the suspect file to verify CM functionality and finder stability
;~)

Cannot boot from newly-created TTP eDrive

I have created an eDrive (on an external USB drive). TTP4 (4.5.2) shows the eDrive (it's an option under their "eDrive" function) but when I select it for restart I seem to still be booted under OSX (from my internal HD), as normal. I have also tried the other two ways to boot from the eDrive, as described at:
http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=117&Itemid=68
In every case, after a reboot, I seem to be running the standard OS. I say this because the functions to test/repair my internal HD still indicate that they cannot be run because I'm booted from there.
Any ideas on what is wrong ... or things I can check?

Great news, thanks!

When combining PDFs Acrobat XI Pro crashes. It manages to save the newly created document but the resulting crash is really frustrating. Any input would be welcome, thanks!

Just as the post said, I have a user that frequently combines PDFs. When she tries to combine documents, it crashes, although it does save the new document.
The crash takes away from her productivity and she isn't pleased as this was also happening with Acrobat 9 Pro that we just upgraded from. Any ideas on why
this is occurring would be most welcome. Thanks!

Acrobat versions prior to 9 had a bug which allowed you to do what you did. In Acrobat 9 this bug was fixed. In order to do what you want you need to certify (apply special certification digital signature with your certificate -- it is "Certify (Visible/Invisible)" choice in the "Work with Certificates") your document first. In the process of certification you can specify which modification permissions you allow the users of your document to make after signing. Certification signature must be the first signature in the document.
