Desktop cannot be changed

My Computer ist working well, harddisk seems to be o.k., All other users have no problems
But my admin account makes problems, desktop cannnot be changed, It's not possible to create new folders.
Folders/Icons can't be moved to annother place, Files can be placed in folders but not extracted or placed on the desktop again.
What's wrong?

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder  or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the  Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in 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.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign ($). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

  • Dock reset after restart computer / desktop image cannot be changed

    hi everybody!!
    It is my first time in the discussion forum, so I hope I selected the right section to place my problem.
    I have decided to give my old computer (Mac OS X 10.3) to a friend. I deleted the old administration account and created a new one with his name. After doing this, when I restart the computer the dock bar configuration is reset and I cannot change the image of the desktop. I change the configuration of the dock bar according to my preferences, shutdown the computer, start it again and the setting of the dock is lost again. Re the desktop image, it cannot be changed at all.
    Advices are welcome,
    Thanks

    I'm not sure what's causing all this, but if you're giving the computer to somebody I would suggest erasing the hard drive then reinstalling the operating system. If you erase the hard drive with write zeros once you are taking better security measures for you in case somebody (either your friend or a future owner of the computer) decides to try to recover deleted files. It's also like doing a spring cleaning and ensuring that your friend receives the computer in the best condition possible. Of course it will also clear up the problem you are having.
    Make sure you also give your friend the original discs that came with the computer as well as any discs for software (including system upgrades) that you re-install on the computer. This will make it easier for them to troubleshoot and to reinstall software should they need to at some stage, as well as being a legal requirement.

  • The item contains one or more busy items that cannot be changed

    We have a Windows 2003 file server and we are having issues with Macs retrieving files/folders from it. There is a folder on the Windows share named "dropbin" that UserA has full permissions on. UserB has the following NTFS permissions on the dropbin folder.
    Traverse Folder / Execute File Allow
    List Folder / Read Data Allow
    Create Files / Write Data Allow
    Create Folders / Append Data Allow
    Write Attributes Allow
    Write Extended Attributes Allow
    This gives UserB the ability to look inside the dropbin folder and place content in there. This same user cannot delete or pull down anything that a different user (UserC) has put in there. UserA (the person with full permissions) should be able to pull down anything put in there.
    This works fine from an XP box if an XP user (UserB) puts content in there UserA from a Mac or a PC can get and manipulate the data. If a Mac user (UserB) puts a file up there (it seems to happen with a .txt file, a .cp file, or a .zip file) UserA from a Mac gets the following error when trying to download the file:
    "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named item.txt"
    When you hit continue you get the following error:
    "The item item.txt contains one or more busy items that cannot be changed"
    If you proceed to enter in the admin credentials, the file doesn't copy down to the local Mac and fails without an error.
    A couple of things we noticed....
    1. If Mac UserB puts up a Word document or a .dmg file then UserA from a Mac can pull it down fine without errors.
    2. On the Windows 2003 server we noticed that for each file we tried to upload it creates a ._ corresponding hidden file. For example, item.txt also has ._item.txt. If we go up on the server and remove the hidden file, Mac UserA can pull down the file fine.
    3. We tried zipping the files (or files and folders) locally on Mac UserB's desktop then putting the .zip file up there but since it creates a ._file.zip Mac UserA still can't pull it down.
    4. The fix we found for this is to have Mac UserB place the files they want to upload into a folder on the desktop, then upload that folder. When Mac UserA comes by they can pull down that folder's worth of stuff.
    We are accessing the Windows 2003 file share by going to the finder and using the "Go" menu and entering in:
    smb://servername/sharename
    and they use their Windows domain credentials to log in.

    We may have figured this out but it requires some more testing. The reason why the file upload creates the ._ files in the dropbin folder when UserB puts content in there is because UserB does not have the "Delete" permission in that folder. My guess is that it creates the ._ file when the file is in transit but then deletes that file after it has completed the transfer (but without the delete permission it couldn't remove the ._ file). What we did was added another user to the NTFS permissions for that folder, we added the built in "CREATOR OWNER" account and gave that user the "Delete" permission, now the ._ files do not appear under there and UserA can come along and manage the uploaded file okay.
    Hope this helps someone else out.

  • One or more busy items cannot be changed

    I've dragged songs out of iTunes to a folder on the desktop, dragging this folder to my external HD the message "the item "..." contains one or more busy items that cannot be changed" comes up. The permissions for this folder are read and write so not sure what else to do. I've done this before and had no problems...

    I finally sorted out a similar problem.
    Discover which files are involved by copying the *contents* of the source folder to a destination.
    The offending folder (or folders) should display by name. If the item is a file, the file name should display. You can drill down within a folder by the same process: copy the contents (not the entire folder) to a destination, to find the offending folder or item.
    I ran across and old (2002) posting which mentioned file type as preventing deletion:
    http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20020920055805577
    I found an old application which can display file creator and type on OS X:
    http://www.frederikseiffert.de/filetype/
    How old is it? The System Requirements are:
    "FileType runs on Mac OS X v10.0 or later and on Mac OS 8.6 or later with CarbonLib 1.3."
    It runs on 10.4. Haven't tested anything later.
    I discovered that the file types on the offending files were "brok". It so happens they were all tiffs, so I changed them to "TIFF". I still got a message about needing to enter an admin user and password, but the copy then worked.

  • Object link to STPO_DOC cannot be changed in this transaction

    Hi All,
    I am linking the BOM to Document info record, where I am getting a message as "Object link to STPO_DOC cannot be changed in this transaction".
    It is working in other way, when I go in BOM header and Link the Document, it is reflecting in the Document inforecord.
    Object links maintained in DC10 settings for
    STPO_DOC
    STKO_DOC
    Need your suggestions on this problem.
    Regards,
    Venu

    Hi Venu,
    those links were designed in order to support Digital MockUp (DMU) in the Engineering Workbench, the CAD Desktop and the Produktion Order. The idea here is, that via the CAD Direct Integrations those links to the Documents are set automatically, also the transformation matrix and bounding box is transfered.
    So a maintenance via the Gui is not supported, as far as I know. Only via the APIs.
    Best regards,
    Martin

  • I cannot see changes on layers immediately (CS 5)

    I use PS CS5 some months and I found out some weeks ago following problem:
    If I work in PS and make some changes, for instance I create a new layer I cannot see changes immediately.
    I must click in the image directly and than I can see updated image.
    I do not know how to repair this serious problem. There is nearly impossible to work with PS in this situation.
    Thanks for your all suggestions.
    The PS EXE file version is 12.0.3.0.
    I have 3GB RAM memory, Pentium 4 3GHz, WIN XP PRO.

    Noel, thats not right, your looking at the desktop drivers its a laptop.
    those drivers where released in october 2010.
    there are currently beta drivers out that are 179.48 you can try those see if it helps. (8.17.12.6089) i think.
    Edit: nvm i think i read it wrong
    xp 32 bit drivers 6.14.12.6099 where released Oct/16/2010 so they may be the latest drivers 260.99
    When you down load drivers from Nvidia, they show the driver package version. when you look at the driver version in Photoshop, it shows the file version.

  • Administrator account cannot make changes to Apple RAID?

    Hi all,
    I need help: I cannot delete files or folders on the TOP LEVEL of my Apple RAID (connected via fibre channel).
    My account has administrator privileges, and I CAN 'unlock' the lock on the drive folder, BUT it won't allow me to make changes, or allow changes to 'stick'.
    I cannot get disk utility to 'verify permissions' on the RAID; the option is greyed out.
    I CAN delete files in subfolders, but the top level of folders and files cannot be changed or deleted. By 'top level' I mean what you see when you click on the RAID drive icon on your desktop - the files/folders in the top level of that drive's directory.
    Any ideas how to correct this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any insight.

  • ''The new king of the desktop'' cannot even catch the internet!

    Ever since I bought Lion for my MacBook Pro my internet wireless connection has constantly been dropping off without any warning. Restarts sometimes bring it back but I find it frustrating and embaressing that ''the new king of the desktop'' cannot even catch the internet!
    I brought my machine to an Apple repair store here in Barcelona and the assistant assumed straight away it was a Lion software problem and how that he now advises everyone not to change over to Lion as it cause too many problems . They checked my MacBook Pro and confirmed the hardware was totally fine and that the problem was in fact the software.
    I asked if they could fix it, (I mean there are laptops that are built in garden sheds that can carry out the simple task of picking up wireless internet!!!) I picked it up the next day and the internet had returned to my machine however a few hours later the same problem of the internet server not being found was regularly recurring. It is just not good enough. I spent 70 euro for nothing!
    If anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this, they would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I will just have to follow the Apple assistant´s advice and 'just go back to Leopard'

    This seems to be a well-known issue. I had issues with my mid-2009 MacBook dropping its WiFi connection under Snow Leopard as well. Lion made it worse and it happens at least once a day now, although there are some weeks where it doesn't happen. It's the only WiFi-enabled device for it to happen. I don't know of a fix.

  • I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

    I am trying to authorize my computer and I get an error message: The required directory was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed. Help?

    I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question.  I followed the instructions in this article:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one.   I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable.  So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal.  Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal).  I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.)  And it fixed the problem right away.
    What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do.  It didn't mention Terminal.  What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

  • HT1296 I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. How can I fix this?

    I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7.  The basic calendar data transfer is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. The birthday entries in my Outlook contacts have correct dates.How can I fix this?

    The following peocess corrects the calendar entry:
    edit the contact & change the birthday, save the change; edit the contact & change the birthday to the correct value, save the change again. The calendar entry then displays on the correct date.  Alternatively as a temp solution I can just de-select the "birthdays" calendar which stops the icon being displayed.
    Thanks for your advice, I think that it's n going to be a slow process to fix all the entries for not much return.

  • Exchange Connector 3.0 (Hotfix Release) Error - Error Message=The key value of an object cannot be changed.

    Hello,
    I am running Service Manager 2012 with the Exchange Connector 3.0 RTM (Re-release Version).  The issue I have is that when an e-mail is processed that is trying to update the status or event log of an incident, the Exchange Connector encounters an error
    and will not update the object.  The Operations Manager log denotes: 
    Exchange Connector: Unable to process mail item. Subject="Close Ticket: [IRXXXXX]", Error Message=The key value of an object cannot be changed.
    This will happen on a seemingly random selection of Incident work items.  I cannot correlate them with a specific template, exchange connector, or incident tier queue that could be causing the issue.  I can recreate the way a specific ticket
    was created and update it through e-mail without issue, and the next ticket can cause the error to trigger. 
    I have already opened a Microsoft Support Case using our Software Assurance agreement.  After a few months of troubleshooting the issue and trying different fixes, Microsoft support said they were unable to fix the problem and that we would need to
    purchase Premier support to go further. At this point I thought I would reach out to the community for ideas.
    The setup I have for the Exchange connectors is as follows.
    I have three separate Exchange connectors set up to three different mailboxes.  One Exchange connector processes external support tickets and applies a specific template.  Another processes client support tickets and applies a different template. 
    And the last Exchange connector processes internal tickets and also processes the updates of tickets created by the other two exchange connectors. 
    Here are the fixes I've attempted so far:
    1.  Changed the templates that each Exchange connector applies.
    2.  Changed the management pack that each template is stored in.
    3.  Checked my management pack(s) for extended classes by searching for Extension="true" (This was also checked by Microsoft support)
    4.  Deleted each Exchange connector and recreated each connector
    5.  Deleted each Exchange connector, deleted the management pack, and reinstalled the management pack and connectors
    6.  Repeated Step 5, deleted Microsoft.SystemCenter.ExchangeConnector.dll and Microsoft.SystemCenter.ExchangeConnector.resources.dll and then installed the Exchange connector Re-release version 3.0 Published 10/7/2013 (which is supposed to address this
    issue)
    7.  Deleted the HealthServiceState folder and restarted the Management Service
    I'm not really sure what to do at this point.  I've put many hours into customizing my installation to get it working for my organization so reformatting and starting from scratch would be a nightmare scenario.  This environment is in production.
    I do have a band-aid in place using Orchestrator.  Basically I have a monitor task searching for the error message and when it finds one it searches the mailbox for the offending e-mail and applies either the Resolve or Close status change that is requested
    from the user.  However, I do not have it working to update the ticket if a comment is applied to the incident.  If anyone is in this position and needs to know how to apply this Orchestrator task I am willing to provide my workflow.
    I am new to the community and am already impressed with the amount of help and effort there is in this forum.  I appreciate in advance any help that is provided and am open to any ideas at this point.  I can post more information as needed.
    Thank you,
    John

    Yes that is the whole template.  However, I did confirm that this is only happening to incidents where either of two situations triggers a runbook to fire and modify the incident.  When I remove the activity from the incident it does clear the
    issue.  For some background the first Runbook Activity set's the first response date when an incident is resolved if the first response value is null.  The second assigns the incident to a user upon creation if the title contains assignto:username;

  • Error message: iMovie cannot save changes to the library!?!

    iMovie crashed my computer and now I can't creat a new movie.
    Here's the full error message:
    iMovie cannot save changes to the library.
    The hard disk where your library is located may be full or unavailable or permissions may have changed. To avoid losing your work, quit iMovie.
    What's up with this? I tried trashing the preferences, but got the same message. I have a 27-inch late 2013 iMac running Mavericks with 445.55 GB free space.
    Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    You've already tried trashing iMovie preferences (By the way think in Mavericks you have to reboot as well after this for the new preferences to take effect) .  One other thing to try is creating a new user account, logging in and seeing if you can create a new project in iMovie (of course you won't see your exisitng projects).  If you can then iMovie itself is OK.  If not  then the only other thing I can think of is re-installing iMovie  (see http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/How-To-Re-Download-Apps-From-The-Mac-Ap p-Store.htm)
    Is everthing else working OK after your computer crash?  Maybe you should also run Verify disk in Disk Utility.
    Maybe someone-else has some other suggestions (I have not heard of this problem before)?

  • Novated Purchase orders cannot be changed error

    Hi Experts,
        while trying to edit the PO we are getting an error as " Novated Purchase orders cannot be changed" . I am confused that which field is used to differentiate the normal PO to that of novated PO at portal level.  Please let us know why this error occurs and how can we solve the issue ?
       Thanks in Advance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Aishwarya.M

    Hello Aishwarya ,
    A Novation is agreement of parties usually done in conjunction with an assignment where upon the assignment there is now a new agreement between the original party whose contract was assigned and the party to whom the contract was assigned that in effect extinguishes (cancels) the old agreement and relieves the assigning party of liability under the contract. 
    For example if A and B have a contract and there is an assignment and novation of that contract by B to C, the contract would now be between A and C and B would no longer be liable to A under the contract as the “novation” extinguishes their liability.
    If you wanted to prevent a novation you might include something like the following:
    “This contract shall be binding on the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except in the instance of an assignment or transfer by Buyer of all or any portion of this agreement, the assigning party shall remain liable for the performance of any assigned or transferred obligations hereunder.
    The requirements for a novation may vary by jurisdiction. For example in New York for there to be a novation it must specifically say it is a novation. In assignment consent letters Suppliers may try to create a novation by the words they use where the language in affect would say that Buyer may only look to the new entity going forward. Please check with the PO which supplier is being used and also check is there any third party involvement in that PO.
    Thanks

  • Getting authorization error message: Required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed.

    I have recently purchased this MacBook used and am trying to authorize it on the iTunes Store but even after uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it with a fresh copy I'm getting this error message: "The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permissions cannot be changed."  And I have no idea of where or how to fix this issue.  Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  I even tried to deauthorize this computer and got the same error message.  HELP!

    I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question.  I followed the instructions in this article:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one.   I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable.  So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal.  Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal).  I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.)  And it fixed the problem right away.
    What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do.  It didn't mention Terminal.  What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

  • Item Status Cannot be Changed

    I  had an existing PO with an item on it that was flagged as not being an Inventory item by mistake. It appears the system allowed the creation of the PO while the item was flagged this way. A Goods Receipt PO was generated from the PO and all products on the PO showed an increase in Inventory except for the one item, which seems to make sense but I would have expected an error message for trying to receive that item. The quantity received for that item did not get placed in the warehouse. We realized this was probably due to the fact it was flagged as non inventory. If we try an modify the item to say it is an Inventory item we get the message "Inventory Item status cannot be changed due to the existence of either postings or documents." How do I find what is preventing this change and what can I do when I find it? Using Drag and Relate I have no open documents with this item on it.

    Hi,
    To find all those problematic PO is easy. Try:
    SELECT T0.DocNum, T1.ItemCode
    FROM OPOR T0
    JOIN POR1 T1 ON T1.DocENtry = T0.DocEntry
    JOIN OITM T2 ON T2.ItemCode = T1.ItemCode AND T2.InvntItem='N'
    Howeve, once you created any marketing document that includes those item codes, Inventory Item status will no longer be changeable.
    Thanks,
    Gordon
