Changing Folder/File Permission Parameter

Good morning.
I am trying to change some setting in a VIDEO_TS folder, but all of the files are "Read Only". Even When I go to "Get Info" there doesn't seem to be a way to change permission.
What am I missing? How can I change the permission parameter so that I can edit the file?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Martin.
Thank you for the quick response.
I videotape a project with my cameras set to 16:9. I have edited them, changed them to a quicktime movie and burned an image using iDVD.
Of course it won't play in 16:9, so I was using a program called myDVDEdit to change the parameters of the files in the VIDEO_TS folder to make them display in 16:9. I posted a question/thread about it yesterday, but nobody responded.
When I go into the VIDEO_TS folder, the files are all "Read Only", so I can't edit them. I went to "Get Info" to change the permissions and everything is grayed out so that I can't change anything.
Can you suggest a better method for any of this?
Brian

    I have inadvertently changed a file permission setting. When opening Aperture I get the following; "Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library make sure it's file permissions are set correctly". I am an old dude new to Mac OS. Looked in settings but have no idea how to allow file sharing to myself. I have been using Aperture actively for 6 weeks. I'm the only one using this Mac. What up?

    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • How to use FilePermission class to change the file permission in Linux

    Hi all,
    I'm running in a issue related to changing the file permission under Linux environment. I'm using Suse 10.0 Linux and run jdk 1.5 java runtime.
    I want to create a file during execution time and change the permission of the same. I use File.createNewFile() API to create file. By default it does not have all the 3 permission (read,write,execute) for all the user ( user,owner,group). Through program I have to change the file permission ( equal to execute ,chmod 777 filename).I donot want to use runtime.exec() with chmod as the argument , since it creates a process to change the permission which may impact the performance. I want to try FilePermission class , by giving filename and permission as the argument. But it is not changing the permission . Could any one faced this problem ?
    If any body guides me, how to change the permission of the file under Linux using FilePermission class , it would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Sankar

    How do I set the Umask prior to starting the program
    ? Could pls explain in steps.I don't think umask can help you. The mode mask prevents permission bits from being set when a file is created, but does not force any bits to be set. So if execute permission is not set explicitly when a file is created, umask will do nothing about it.
    But if you want more information about umask, see the man page for your shell script (sh, csh, etc.) or "man 2 umask".

           umask [-p] [-S] [mode]
                  The  user  file-creation mask is set to mode.  If mode begins with a digit, it is interpreted as an octal
                  number; otherwise it is interpreted as a symbolic mode mask similar to that  accepted  by  chmod(1).   If
                  mode  is  omitted, the current value of the mask is printed.  The -S option causes the mask to be printed
                  in symbolic form; the default output is an octal number.  If the -p option is supplied, and mode is omit-
                  ted,  the  output  is in a form that may be reused as input.  The return status is 0 if the mode was suc-
                  cessfully changed or if no mode argument was supplied, and false otherwise.

  • Change windows file permission from Oracle PL/SQL

    Hi
    I am using APEX4.2 to produce a graph ( by AnyChart) and used the simple pop up windows to save the graph to a PNG image file called test.png in the windows location ( being X:\APEX_CHART where X is pointing to windows server /abc/Transfer/APEX_CHART/ ).
    Now I wanted to be able to change the permission of this windows file to be private to one group and not available to other public users.   Can I achieve this via API from Oracle PL/SQL ?
    Thanks

    That doesn't look like a Windows path. Do you mean \\abc\Transfer\APEX_CHART?

    Is the database on the same server as \\abc\Transfer\APEX_CHART?

  • Changing Folder File Name Color

    Hi, in the finder I can select different background colors for each folder easy from the view options. I like black background however the problem is that when I select it, I cannot see the names of the files inside that folder anymore (since the names are also black). Is there a way to change the names of the files in a folder to white, or another color?
    Thanks in advance, regards,

    Actually black background color was just an example to simplify my question.
    Normally I use background pictures for my folders (that represent those folders). Most of the background pictures include quite black color in it and when the text intersects with the black color it becomes unreadable. So this is my problem
    It basically boils down to my first question of course.

  • What is the command to change the file permission of all the files in a directory recursively?

    I know it is chmod -R <permission> Files/directory_name in unix/linux. Tried the same format but not getting the desired output.
    Any suggestion about the format of command in Solaris ?
    chmod <permission> filename is working but not chmod -R <permission> directory_name doesn't.
    Thanks
    Shashank.

    This command is correct. What is the result of the command if you run it ? What is the command that you use ? And which file system format is it ?

  • Change config file properties programatically

    hi, all i have created one config file and from that file i am readindg data. Now when i click on this file it shows that this file is in read only format. Now in this same config file i want to write the data but when i try to write data by using write key function it gives me some error just like please check the permission of the file.
    For this config file i canot change its permission to archive permenantly. So Is there any way to change the file permission programatically from read only archieve and again from archieve to read only.

    You can change the file permissions programmatically using LabVIEW.  This allows you to temporarily change the permission and modify the file before restoring the permissions to their original settings.
    The Set Permission is found within the Advanced File Functions of the File I/O section of the Functions Palette.
    The information below is from the Context Help.

    2.Where does SPO host 2013 Workfows?
    3.If connecting to SPO Can I use Worklow Manager 1.0?

    You can host this workflow as a SharePoint App in SharePoint Online or use SharePoint Designer to create this workflow as long as you use the app step. Managing the permissions can be done with a REST call.  The initiator of the workflow must have
    been granted the right to "Manage Permissions" and the app must have full control of the Site Collection.   We have done so for several of our clients.   I know you asked this question some time ago, but I thought the info might still be helpful.
