Change folder properties?

I have transferred from iMac with tiger to a new iMac with mountain lion. I had to do this via my back up drive/time machine.
Mostly thats ok but I find that a file called "downloads" , I can no loger access because"i dont have the authority"!!!
There is no-one else in the house.
I am advised to "change the folder properties.........or try saving in a different location". How do you do this?
I have worked out that my old computer was 501 and now that everything has been transferred my new identity is 503.
The names of the accounts, and pass word remain the same.
Will I spend the rest of my life without access to a file called "downloads"?

This is what it should be

How do I change Desktop folder properties?

I recently purchased a macbook pro. I used migration assistant to transfer all files, from my g4, via firewire. Now, when I attempt to download from the internet, I get this error message: "Downloading/users/myname/Desktop/filename could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location". How do I change desktop folder properties?
mac book pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Control-click or right-click anywhere on your desktop picture, and select Get Info from the contextual menu. Then expand the Ownership & Permissions section. You need to set the drop-down menus like this:
You can: Read and Write
Owner: <your username>
Access: Read & Write
Group: Staff
Access: No Access
Others: No Access
If that doesn't work, log in as an administrator, open Terminal, and enter these commands (assuming your username is "bigalive"; change appropriately:
sudo chown bigalive:staff /Users/bigalive/Desktop
sudo chmod 700 /Users/bigalive/Desktop
That should fix it.

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
disk mode.
Moreover, i recommend you to
restore ipod to factory settings.
If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

Object owner shown as NULL in Folder Properties

Hi,
Has anyone else come across an EUL where, when you open the folder properties window, the Owner property is null? This seems to be consistent across all BA's and all folders within the EUL. The EUL seems to work fine, but I'm concerned that if I make any changes, this will no longer be the case!
EUL version is 4.1.14. Disco Admin is version 4.1.48.08.
Cheers and TIA.
David

I was thinking about this and, of course, at first look, it would be a screwup.
Basically, the owner identifies the schema if you're pointing to a view/table in the database.
So, I quickly created a folder in an EUL using NEW and not from a file in the database and lo and behold, it shows the owner as NULL - which makes sense as it's not based on a table / view as such.
Also, created a bogus custom folder but it doesn't even have the owner option in the properties.
So, what I'm wondering is, if you create a complex folder, etc. will it keep the owner as NULL? And if so, is it possible you're looking at custom folders and not folders based directly on a database view / table?
Just wonderin'

Change display properties of mailbox

I have created a mailbox in "On my Mac"
The mailbox names are "sent 2010", " sent 2011", etc
Here i am copying the mail from the sent items folder based on the date they were sent to the respective mailbox.
Now here come the problem when i view this mailbox on the "On my Mac" area it displays mail based on the "sender" ( which in this case would always be me)
How can i change the properties so that the message list is displayed with the recipient.
This is the way it is displayed in the sent times folder.. How can i do this for folders on my mac since by defaluth they display the list of email based on the from address.
i spoke to apple support chat who told me at the moment the feature is not available and i should post a feedback for them to add this feature.
I think the community here could have some answers for me
Vikas
P.S please find here the chat i had with the apple care chat
Now chatting with Kristopher, case # 782146853
KristopherThanks for contacting AppleCare chat support. My name is Kristopher. Please give me a moment to look over your information.
Me:Hello
KristopherHello Vikas! How may I assist you today?
Me:I have created mailbox on apple mail in the"on my mac" reagion marked sent 2010,sent 2011 and copy all the mails from the sent item based on their date in these mailboxes
Me:the problem is when i view these mailboxes in the "on my mac" reagion they are viewed from the sender( which in this case is always me"
Me:how can i change the view mode from sender to the TO or reciever feils
Me:field
KristopherOk Vikas, so we are trying to get the emails that have been saved to the Mac to sort based on the receiver field, is that correct?
Me:yes
Me:not really sort i need them to be sorted by date but i want them to display the reciver field instead of the sender field
Me:like they do in the sent item mailbox
KristopherAlright Vikas, we can definitely take a look to see if we can get this option changed for you. Please give me just a few moments to look into the matter to see if we have a simple solution for this.
Me:sure
KristopherOk VIkas, from what I can tell this is the normal behavior for the app, as the mailbox is going to show who the message is From, and since the messages are being moved from the Sent folder, all of the messages will be From your email account. Have the messages ever appeared with a header from the receiver?
Me:no
Me:but thats exactly the point can i not simply customize the display fields of a specific mailbox teh way i intend to use it
Me:if the mails in these mailboxes are sent mails it makes no sense for me to see the sender info... i need to see thd receivers info there for it to be useful
Me:i would prefer not to leave sent mail in the sent item folder because they seem to disappear if we ever delete the email account.
KristopherI can understand that, but at this time there is no way to change the individual characteristics of the folders in the On My Mac section, and by Default they are set for holding emails you receive, so they will show the Sender’s name. The best option at this time would be to submit feedback for our engineering team to add this feature, through the feedback tool at www.apple.com/feedback, or look into a 3rd party Mail application who may have the feature already included.
Me:ok thank you
KristopherYou’re welcome Vikas. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Me:no that is it, thank you for your help

Hello Eric thank you for answering,
Please see again what you are proposing is the way the mails are "Sorted" and not the way they are "displayed".
These are 2 different things.
What i was asking is for them to be displayed(listed) based on the recipient( like they are in the sent folder). Sorting can be done the way the user likes.
Even if i do what you have suggested they will still be displayed( listed ) with all from them being listed from the same sender .
The Sent items folder should be displayed based on the recipient. When you are viewing sent mail what you want to see id whom you have sent the mail to. Displaying that all the mail were sent by you Is mostly useless unless you want to sort out the if you are sending mails from multiple account.
I hope you understand the problem i an seeking solutions for and are able to suggest some solution.

Administrator cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hello, dear Colleagues.
User with administrators rights cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2.
If to launch "Devices and Printers" on server, all printer properties on "Advanced" tab are inactive (see screen below).
But I can change it manually with "Print Management". Features become active.
The main purpose - to uncheck "Enable advanced printing features" with powershell
scripts.
$erroractionpreference = "continue"
$colPrinters = Get-Wmiobject -Class win32_printer -computername print_server -Filter "Name like 'printer1' or Name like 'printer2' or Name like 'printer3' or Name like 'printer4' or Name like 'printer5' or Name like 'printer6'" # get printers on server and filter with names
ForEach ($objPrinter in $colPrinters) { # get printer details from WMI
If ($objPrinter.RawOnly -ne "True") { # check that Advanced printing fetaures is turned on
Write-host $objPrinter.Name
Write-Host $objPrinter.RawOnly
$objPrinter.RawOnly = "True" # Untick and update the object in WMI
$objPrinter.Put()
It works on Windows 7 workstation, but does not on print server Windows Server 2012 R2 with error
Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Generic failure "
At \\print_server\c$\DisableAdvancedPrintingFeatures.ps1:8 char:17
+ $objPrinter.Put()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
Can you help me with that? Look like somethings with rights.
Thank you.

Hello, Alan
Morris.
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried to runs PS Script both locally and remotely, previously running Powershell ISE as Administrator.
I've noticed interesting thing - if to
check "Enable advanced printing features"
manually thru Print Management snap-in, script works fine. But, time to time after some manipulations on print server, this advanced feature returns to enabled state automatically by system, I think. In this case PS Script does not work. Next, if to disable
feature manually again (thru Print Management snap-in),
and enable manually again, PS Script will work. Very strange situation.
Thanks.

How to change shape properties after having created one?

Photoshop CC 2014 -- latest update as of October 06, 2014
Windows 7
How can I change a shapes properties after having created one.
I have created a simple ellipse.
When I drew the ellipse with the tool, I had the option for the fill color/style and stroke, etc.
After I have created said ellipse, I wish to change its properties.
I can use the Paint Bucket, gradient tool, etc for the fill, but is there way to get back to the original set of tools with which I created the ellipse in the first place?
If I use Edit > Stroke... it adds a new stroke around the existing shape.
If I use Edit > Fill... the entire layer is filled.
There must surely be a way to reenter the tool set to edit an existing shape. No?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the helpful tips, advice, etc.
I didn't explain myself very well--I apologize.
However, with your tips I figured it out:
When I create a rectangle or ellipse, I can later click on its layer and the Properties window appears with options to change their "Live Shape Properties."
However, not so with the Polygon and Shape tools. With them, the Properties window shows only the Masks, but the Toolbar still shows some basic properties I can change.
I was stymied by the above differences while working only on a Shape.
I've attached two JPEG screenshots.
I didn't need to change the actual shape, just the fill/stroke, etc.
Later, I may wish to change the actual shape, but that appears to be done by simply creating something new.
Thanks much!!

"Click To Change All Properties" Not Working In Dreamweaver CC For Padding/Margins

Every time I try to use the "Click To Change All Properties" option in Dreamweaver CC (the chain link icon in the middle of the Magin/Padding box), it never seems to work. Nor does it use the CSS shorthand, it lists the top, bottom, left and right margins/padding separately no matter if I have the chain link icon connected or broken. If I have it set to link all four sides, then enter a value into the top, nothing happens to the other sides. It's not until I enter a value in to the bottom that it auto fills in the other two sides. Anyone else having this issue?

Thank you for your help. I think I figured out what I might have been doing wrong when setting the margins. I would first clickt the chain icon to join everything, then enter in a value in the Top box, but I wouldn't see the other boxes update with that same value, so I would immediately click the Bottom value box. Instead, if I just click on the inner white box, just outside of the perimeter of the chain icon, it updates all of the remaining values.
The shorthand setting worked as well for the Padding/Margins. Thank you!

How to change the properties of individulal elements in an array?

Hi all,
I have an array (size is 25) of string and I want to disable and grayout half of them. But how do I do it? How do I change the properties of individual elements in an array? I have tried to use some of the examples given in the discussion forums, but it didint work for the task mentioned above. Anybody would be able to help me with a suitable example that can be specifically used for disable or enable the individual array elements?

The user will see the first half of the string elements filled-in and the lower half grayed-out (to be filled in later). Make a test VI, play around.
... except that all elements "greyed out" with this method contain the default string for the array element (blank by default, but changeable). There is no way to have meaningful, unique text in the greyed out elements.
I would suggest to use a listbox as control/indicator. Here elements can easily be disabled programmatically.

Can't change Movie Properties

I just bought and downloaded 5 Pixar short subject movies.
I have a 3 year old grandson that I've set up a Mac for.
I've put his favorite movies and trailers on the desktop with large icons and slow double click. I set each movie to open in full screen and close when finished because he can't click on the red close button.
The Pixar movies downloaded into iTunes, so it would be difficult for him to find them to play.
I opened the mp4 in Quicktime and saved as self-contained movie, thinking this would do it. I put the movie on the desktop and opened it to get movie properties. I could not change them, so I can't set to go full screen or to close the movie when done. ???
Is there no way to do this? "Protected" is one thing... but not being able to change the properties seems ridiculous.
RM

Better to use "reference" instead of "self contained" to save on HD space.
Then unplug the mouse and teach the 3 year old the keyboard.
The "Tab" key will highlight a file and a new tap on it will move the focus to a new item.
Command key and the letter o key will launch QuickTime Player.
Command key and the letter f will send the file to Full Screen (requires Pro).
The Spacebar will start and stop playback. Up/down arrow keys will adjust volume.
Command key and the letter w key will close the window. Escape key will send it out of full screen but leave the window open.
Command key and the Tab key will allow switching between the Finder and QuickTime (focus changes each time the Tab key is clicked) and releasing the Command key will make that app the "front".

Cannot change Printer Properties in Word 2010 with J6480. Properties revert to default setting

When I attempt to change Printer Properties in Word 2010, they simply revert back to the default setting. I am unable to use the Printer Properties within the Word 2010. If the default is grayscale, that is all the printer will print unless I change the default setup in the Control Panel. It appears to be an incompatibility with Office 2010 software as other programs allow the change of Printer properties.

I have the exact identical problem. Brand new printer (HP PhotoSmart C4780) on a brand new PC (Windows 7). I cannot access the printer properties dialog box when the PDF file has been opened in an embedded Adobe Viewer window in Internet Explorer.
When I select [Print] from Word or Adobe Viewer, or anywhere else, I can then press the [Properties] button and it opens the printer properties just fine.
But if I open a PDF document through Internet Explorer, clicking on that [Properties] button doesn't do anything. No error or anything. If I press the [Save] in the Adobe Acrobet-embedded Internet Explorer window, it too does nothing. This leads me to think it is an Adobe Acrobat issue. However, I have found nothing in their support forums on this topic.
Does anyone out there have any ideas?
