Copying Read Only folders when original "owner" has been deleted?

I am considering creating a Read Only folder on an external disk to download my raw images to. PhotoMechanic allows you to "ingest" to 2 diferent locations when downloading off a card, so one of these locations could be Read Only for safe keeping of the originals.
Thinking ahead though - if the startup disk fails some time in the future and the administrator account is lost will I be able to change the rights to this folder from a newly created user?

If it's on an external, non-booting disk you can check the "Ignore ownership on this volume" at the bottom of the GetInfo window for the disk. Anyone can read them then. If you have an admin account you can do anything, include poke around in another user's stuff. And, of course, should you install a fresh system on a new drive, just be the first admin user with the same user name (assuming that's what you are now) and the stuff will still be yours.

my original bellsouth account is signed on to my encourage, but when the mail is updated on encourage, the emails automatically get deleted on bellsouth account(if i try to sign onto bellsouth website and check my accounts, it will not work.)
please someone,, help me resend my mail back to bellsouth.. i dont like this encourage thing deleting my mails on the bellsouth account.

You need to change the account settings in Entourage for removing messages from the server when downloaded by Entourage.
At the Entourage menu bar, go to Tools and select Accounts.
Select your BellSouth account and then Edit.
Under the Options tab below Server Options, select "Leave a copy of each message on the server" and then select OK.
With this selected, Entourage will not remove messages from the server when downloaded.
Getting messages removed from the server when downloaded by an email client such as Entourage back on the server isn't an easy process with a POP type account.
You can use the Redirect feature but this must be done separately for each message. Select a downloaded message in the account's Inbox mailbox and at the menu bar, go to Message and select Redirect. Enter your BellSouth email address in the To: field and select Send. This should make the message appear the same as when originally received - not appearing as being forwarded and Entourage will redownload each redirected message but not remove it from the server when downloaded.

Read only files when running in Nokia mode

I am using a Nokia 6085 running PC Suite in Nokia Mode. I have a problem whereby files saved on the memory card are accessible only as read-only files when opened in their appropriate application. However, in the Nokia browser and when in Data Storage mode they are normal (non-read only) files. This is somewhat annonying.
Perhaps I hould also add that when I try to save a file tothe memory from an application I am not allowed access to that folder (even though I have administrator functions on).
Can anyone help me?

Fairly standard stuff actually.
I have tried to save both MS Word and Excel files.
I have noticed that when I try to "browse" to the phone (the Nokia 6085 icon not the phone browser icon) from my Gmail (using Firefox) I receive a message "browsing to this folder has been disabled" and no further explanation.

How do you reset activation lock when original owner is not reachable?

You don't. If you cannot locate the original owner, then the device is useless to you. If you purchased it from someone, try returning it for a refund, otherwise it is an expensive paperweight. Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

CS6 Photoshop reads this when attempting to "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). HELP!

Finally got a call this morning from an Adobe Rep and he explained to me the issue. He explained that I needed to uninstall the adobe product, in this case Photoshop CS6 and download it again and reinstall it! So, I did that and get the same message when attempting to open the newly downloaded software: "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). Please, if someone could help me as soon as possible! I am very anxious to remedy this situation. Thank you!

This seems to have cropped up a lot recently. What has seemed to work so far is intentionally resetting your preferences:
Reset Preferences
1) Close the program and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win)/Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac) during startup (not reversible)
or
2) Move the Folder. See:

I don't understand the thing you call live bookmarks never used it, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address information when a reply has been made to the thread in question.

So how do I get notified of updates in this forum? As I said: I don't understand the thing you call LIVE BOOKMARKS I have never used them, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address, or other private information when a reply has been made to the thread in question, so how do I get notified of updates in this forum? I have seen no normal options for setting my viewing preferences used for this forum. Thank You.

Thanks for your reply via email/msg. He wrote:
If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:

Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2

Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT? I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone

How can I check how many times or when an app has been re-downloaded on my iphone. I know how to check purchases but I am looking for how to check when an app had been re-downloaded on my device whether it's through my device or Apple ID

You mention "lack of control" several times. The control is there - you control the Apple ID and password that owns the app. No other Apple ID can use the app. You have not shared your Apple ID or password with anyone, so you and only you own the app.
Therefore, the number of times the app is downloaded or re-downloaded is completely irrelevant. You might, for example, decide to purchase a new iPhone or iPad and download the app there. Or the app developer may issue a new version which you download. None of this matters regarding your "control" of the app. All that matters is that you own it and nobody else can use it.

Find out when a program has been run

Hi,
To find out when a program has been run, I've developed a z program that uses FM SAPWL_STATREC_READ_FILE.
However sometimes, the FM can't read the log file, and also I've known that a program was executed but it isn't on the tables return by the SAPWL_STATREC_READ_FILE.
Can you help?
Regards,
Maria João Rocha

As I understand, the file is deleted (and recreated) if it reaches the size specified in the parameter settings
Following is an excerpt from help (do a search on 'statfile' in the help documentation..)
"<b>Options for reorganizing statistical data (for all servers)</b>
Delete seq. statfile after cumulation if size > (default: 100Mb).
This parameter specifies from what file size the system should delete the statistics file. The statistics file is required for individual statistics and is therefore not deleted until the file size has passed a specified maximum file size. Of course, the file is only deleted if it was completely processed by RSSTAT80 or RSSTAT83 ..
Max. no. of records cumulated per call (default: 20.000).
This is the maximum number of entries in the statistics file that can be processed by RSSTAT80 or RSSTAT83 in one session. This parameter is used to restrict the runtime of the collector.

JComboBox Event? How do I know when a JComboBox has been clicked?

What event is fired when a JComboBox is pressed?
I can tell when an item has been selected but I want
to know when the combobox was clicked originally.

Two (untested) ways of doing this:
1. Subclass JCombobox and fire an event when the box is opened. To find out when its opened, you'll probably have to look at the source for JCombobox and override the method.
2. use the model as a clue. Chances are the underlying combo box model will have its getValueAt() method called when the user opens the drop down box. Cant be sure that thats the only time itll happen tho,,

When my MAC has been in sleep mode for a while and you try and get it started again the mouse makes a splotchy movement across the screen and i have to reboot

When my MAC has been asleep for awhile and I move the mouse it makes this digitized blob run across the screen and erases all below it. The only way I have found to get it to quit is restart the computer. Does anyone know what is making it do this?

okay, you know this is for the Mac pro (desktop mac) rather than the MacBook pro, right? That being said, sounds like you have a problem. Turn off your screensaver, if it's on. if it's a hardware problem, eg the GPU, then take it in. If it's software, try running disk Utility and repair permissions. Failing that, get out your original install dvd's, boot up from them, and try "Archive and Install"

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .
