Disable access to folder where software places logs

Hello, i have this little issue. I use a custom made software which writes logs
to certain directory. The logs are not needed for the software to work, however neither I or someone else can modify the software, but i would like to prevent it from creating logs. The logs are made in .txt . Oh and software/machine are/must be running with
admin privileges (UAC is disabled).
I tried locking the folder with cacls foldertolock /e /p everyone:n , after doing
this i cannot access it via explorer, but the logs keep getting saved in that folder.
I also tried adding +r attribute to the folder, but it didn't affect it in any
way.
Any other things i could try? I would prefer that this could be made remotely via
cmd/registry/whatever.

"The logs are stored every second or so"
How is this done - within one file or each second a new file? Which I cannot imagine, this would be very bad programming. How many files are there after lets say an hour?
NTFS: Simply put Access Denied on the folder for Everyone group - or for the user account, in whose context the software is running. (Context menu/properties/security)
Since you are "not techsavy" my hint is still, that you should eventually leave the software alone, since programs, which run into unexpected situations, can become very mad and crash - or even cause the server crashing.
Running something to delete some files every second would put a lot of strain on the machine. So better any automated deletion (which could be done by a batch in a scheduled task) should not happen more often than maybe all 15, 30 or 60 minutes.
Best greetings from Germany

Hey, thanks again for the reply. Well it depends what you're doing with the software. It will write everything to one file, once u make some changes i will start writing to another. These logs are most often used to import to postgreSQL and view reports
/ processed logs are moved to another folder after this. Why are you asking though, is it possible to somehow make changes to files instead of folders?
I can 100% confirm that disabling loging will not affect the software.
Context menu/properties/security seems to work the same as cacls
foldertolock /e /p everyone:n

Cannot load ttf banglaplain font from /usr/share/fonts & there is no 'res' folder where to place this ttf as I used to do in earlier version of ff. How to load this bangla font?

Hi,
I see the www.guruchandali.com website a lot, which use a ttf bengali font (not a unicode). In earlier version, I used to place the banglaplain.ttf in .mozilla/res folder, but in this ff 5.0 there is no 'res' folder. Also, the banglaplain.ttf is not accessed from the /usr/share/fonts. Now, how I can see the bangla fonts in ff 5?

The usual location for installing that font would be in the ~/.fonts/b folder. That location work in Firefox 3 and 4 for me. That font doesn't seem to be compatible with Firefox 5 (Aurora) and the Nightly build. Both do not use the font even if I select it directly as the default font. I have another font BanglaFontNormal.ttf that still works in Firefox 5 and 7 if I select it. I don't know if that has the same mapping because I can't read that script.

TS4185 I can't log into FaceTime or Messages, checked that my ID and password are correct, checked that settings are set correctly. Could it be that latest OS download changed my configurations that disable access?

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.

How do I allow users to create folders in a shared folder where we all then have read/write access to those new folders?

I have three users who need to access a particular folder on one of our other Macs. The folder resides on the desktop of that particular Mac and it is set as "shared" with all of our accounts set to access the folder. When a user creates a new subfolder in that shared folder, the permissions are instantly set to allow the creator read/write access but the other users are only allowed read-only access. Is there a way to set the permissions so that any new folder created in that shared folder automatically gives read/write access to all accounts who are authorized access to that shared folder?

You should be able to take the permissions you have set and "apply to enclosed items." I am trying to attach a picture of what this looks like so my apologies if it does not work.
Highlight your folder you want and go to File>Get Info or command+I and at the bottom where it has Sharing and Permissions, click the lock button to authenticate. Click the gear and click "apply to enclosed items". See if that works.

Where does 10.6 keeps his software update log file

i previously updated from 10.5.8 to 10.6.
since then the software update history as seen in LIBRARY/LOGS/Software Update.log is not visible anymore in the Software Update Panel. installing rosetta gives that feature back, but that is not my intention.
tonight after updating itunes 8.2.1 to 9.0 this installation was visible again in the Software Update Panel.
i was wondering were 10.6 keeps this info, as the "old 10.5 Software Update.log" is still on its place but not altered anymore.
thx mike

It is now a text based xml file found here:
/Library/Receipts/InstallHistory.plist
Many useful details are tracked in this file. However, Software Update chooses not to display any non-apple or optional-apple "installs" when showing it's preference pane -- even though they're included in the plist.
That's why I manually maintain the former '/Library/Logs/Software Update.log' which is still visible under the console application.

Firefox is freezing. When I close Firefox, and try to re-start it, it will not open. I need to access Task Manager, where I find Firefox still running. I close Firefox in Task Manager & can re-start Firefox.

Firefox is freezing in the middle of a browsing session. When I close Firefox, and try to re-start it, it will not open. I need to access Task Manager, where I find Firefox to still be running. Once I close Firefox in Task Manager, I can re-start Firefox. This can happen several times in the space of a few hours? I'm running Vista Home premium with Firefox 3.6.16, and this problem has only started in the last 4 weeks. Can Anyone Help? Core 2 Duo E7300 with 4GB RAM.

Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

Kernel Panic and Application Crashes when Accessing a Folder

Hi,
I originally posted in the iTunes forum (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=252516&tstart=75) with this problem as it was in iTunes where I first noted the issue. However since then I have discovered it is a system wide issue.
Everytime I try to access a specific folder, my iTunes Music folder, whichever application is accessing it will crash. Finder crashes when trying to view the folder, and other apps will crash when trying to open from or save to that folder. There will be no crash reporter when they crash either. I have also experienced two kernel panics, one when iTunes was playing, and another when Tech Tools Pro was doing its surface scan. The folder is on one of my two FW800 connected external hard drives. The kernel panic looks like this:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x002478C8): hfs: block mark free: trying to free non-existent blocks (-1094886590 -1078469906 39039948)

I am not entirely sure as to what this means or how to deal with it. I am able to access the folder via terminal, but there are 2700 folders within my iTunes Music folder and 23137 songs, so it could take me a very long time to find the exact file or folder which is causing me problems. I could potentially have enough disk space should a backup be required but it would be backed up to 3 different drives and would be close. That is assuming of course that I would not experience the same panic when accessing the area. Can anyone help me with this?
Powerbook G4 1.25Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The first phase:
Since the Kernel Panic is temporarily a state of suspended animation because of a safe-boot solution, try the next step. This is a pre-caution to avoid any failures during ongoing troubleshooting.
After safe-boot, launch System Profiler and select /Software/Extensions/ directory in Contents (on the left column ) menu. Next, open /System/Library/Extensions/ folder by Go to Folder command or by manual. Compare the both contents. You'll see System Profiler shows less kernel extensions than /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. There are ".kext" files that are not shown in the loaded Extensions directory. If there is a most suspect third-party extension (perhaps FireWire's driver), try removing out of the folder to a temporary made folder on the desktop-- you may be prompted the admin or login password.
The second phase:
TechTool Pro fixed a file structure error in one file on the main drive, and some bad custom icons or bad bundle bits error now lie on on the main and one of your secondary drives, but not the previous problems. Also, you still cannot access that folder, however folders within that folder you can get to just fine, via the Go To Folder command or reveal in finder from iTunes.
Those symptoms appear to suggest that some directories structure and the volume information other than the main drive have lost their consistencies and a directory may be no longer accessible for some reason which happened before or during the Kernel Panic. Techtool Pro 4.0.6 seems to not be able to fix those problems. So if you have DiskWarrior 3.0.3, run it and hopefully fix them. If you do not have it, try the followings.
Connect the external FireWire drive in question, then boot into a Safe-mode. If this does not work well, first boot into a Safe-mode then connect the device.
Launch Terminal utility. Type diskutil list at the prompt. Here is an example to be displayed:
MyMachine:~ Myself$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
#: type name size identifier
0: Applepartitionscheme *233.8 GB disk0
1: Applepartitionmap 31.5 KB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS MacOSX_HD 70.7 GB disk0s3
3: Apple_HFS Data_HD 162.8 GB disk0s5
/dev/disk1
#: type name size identifier
0: Applepartitionscheme *111.8 GB disk1
1: Applepartitionmap 31.5 KB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS Data21HD 69.9 GB disk1s3
3: Apple_HFS Debugger_HD 41.6 GB disk1s5
Find the disk identifier that points the external device in question. Type sudo fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk1s3 if the target drive would be disk1s3. If the result shows you like below, the symptoms may be fixed.
MyMachine:~ Myself$ sudo fsck_hfs -fy /dev/disk1s3
** /dev/rdisk1s3
** Checking HFS Plus volume.
** Checking Extents Overflow file.
** Checking Catalog file.
** Checking Catalog hierarchy.
** Checking Extended Attributes file.
** Checking volume bitmap.
** Checking volume information.
** The volume Data21HD appears to be OK.
If the above solution fails, boot into a Single-user-mode and perform the same way as above-- a "sudo" parameter MIGHT not be needed to type.
The third phase:
Start up from Mac OS X 10.4.x Install disc. Launch Disk Utility program. Try repairing the target volume(s) on the external device and then repair the permissions.
If the above solution fails to fix all filesystem problems on that volume, then you may need to abandon hope some file or folder in question to trash it/them. Of course, I do not hope so.…
Also, when I booted into Safe Mode it started up the volume menubar item as usual but I had no sound... Is this normal during a Safe boot?
Certain Mac OS X features do not work when you are started up in Safe Mode. For example, you can't use DVD Player, capture video in iMovie, use an AirPort card, use audio input or output devices, or use an internal or external USB modem.
So it should be no problem on this matter.

How to make save dialog open up folder where document originates as default

Hello
I was wondering if there is a way to make save dialog open up the folder where document originates as default. I feel Like I am wasting a lot of unnecessary time navigating through menus saving certain documents.
Example : I open an Excel document in a folder called 2009. I make some changes and then do a "save as" -- I want it to automatically bring me first to the folder where I opened it, not the last place where I saved to.
I recall being able to set this preference in macs a looong time ago. Now I can't seem to find it. Thank for your help

Rick,
Sorry about the misgiving adresses, folders and access rights. My question is not about these three (they were just here to tell the story). You're perfectly right to say that in a local network, there's not need to complete the full IP or ".com" name of the PCs (even if it works all the same).
When I said "of course" for the perms, it was just to mean, in the same way, that it's not this kind of problems here.
My question is much more a human/mac graphic interface problem than a network problem. I want the people (as well as myself) to be able to go in a folder on the pc network with a simple click on an smb link in an email message (as they do now on an ftp or afp link).
Thanks for the bother,

Can I specify the location where iTunes places ripped mp3's?

I would like to use iTunes to rip my CD's.
However:
1. I keep my music at a different location (directory tree arranged by genre, artist, albums etc) than the iTunes library. I manage the music library myself.
2. I edit the MP3 tags outside of iTunes (using MP3TAG software).
So, can I
1. tell iTunes the directory where to place the ripped mp3's and
2. prevent iTunes from automatically integrating the rips into its library. I will import the mp3's into iTunes when I an good and ready.

Not really. iTunes places rips at *<iTunes Media Folder>$Music$<Album Artist|Artist>\<Album>\## <Track>.<ext>*. You can change the location of your *<iTunes Media Folder>* but that's it. The optional Music\ bit depends on whether you're using the new *iTunes Media Organsiation*.
2. prevent iTunes from automatically integrating the rips into its library. I will import the mp3's into iTunes when I an good and ready.
Nope. iTunes add files to the library as part of any import, rip or play operattion.
For what it's worth I keep my library organised manually, but why use MP3Tag to edit data that can just as easily be editied inside iTunes? After I rip an album or purchase from iTunes/Amazon I use iTunes to amend the details so that the album will be properly organised (see tips at http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp) and then use MediaMonkey to reorganise the files & folders to my style. I then simply delete & reimport the album.

Windows users can't access shared folder - only see Library folder.

I created users folders with the same name as the user's login name. (Note: this is NOT a home folder. I have Home Folders shut off). When the Windows user logs in to access their folder, they don't see their files but instead a folder that says "Library".
When I log in with that user's account on my Mac, I can see the correct contents of their folder, but there is also a folder named "99". I found this "99" folder at the root of the server hard drive but every time I delete it, OS X recreates it again.
I don't understand what's going on.

Hi,
Whether you can able to ping the server when the server share is unresponsive?
Check for the events on the server for a clue. Try disabling the AV program for some time and check whether the problem is repeating.

Software Update log

We have 2 G4s & a G5 and I am admin on all.
On one of the G4s the software update log has recorded all the security updates on the other G4 & the G5 the log hasn't updated since June and August of 2006!
1 - I am pretty sure that the updates have been applied.
2 - I tried signing in as admin & installing the updates.
3 - I tried enabling "root" & installing the updates.
How do I fix this? Our network security people are concerned.
TIA

"...a representative of Apple? Are you an Apple employee? Is that gospel according to Apple?"
As a rule, this is a User-To-User forum. As such, I am merely a user, like yourself, and not affiliated with Apple. So my posts are not gospel according to anyone!
I consider suggestions dispensed in Discussions, as the take it or leave it variety.
Usually if erroneous or incomplete advice is posted, it will be corrected or elaborated on, by another user. It's a community effort.
If the "IT Security folks" need official Apple Employee verification, you could call AppleCare at 1-800-275-2273.
"I tried signing in as admin & installing the updates."
What was the result?
"...I could not make it work. Software update will not allow me to choose "Download and Install from the menu bar""
When the Receipts were removed, did Software Update find the updates again to install?
If updates are selected with a checkmark, you have the options to click on Install x Items, in the lower right corner of the window, or from the Menubar Update contextual menu to:
Ignore Update
Download Only
Install
Install And Keep Package
You can certainly reinstall them, after removing the Receipts, but I don't think it is necessary, if the files below can be located.
HD > Library > Logs: Software Update.log Open this file by double clicking.
You can also view this log in System Preferences > Software Update > Installed Updates > Open as Log File.
If the updates were installed using Software Update, they will be listed there.
As well as having a Receipt in HD > Library > Receipts.
The absence of the updates in the Installed Updates list, in the Software Update function, does not necessarily mean that the updates were not installed.
There was a problem with that log file in the past, and I can't verify with absolute certainty, that this information is still valid, but check the Ownership & Permissions on HD > Library > Logs This folder.
They should be:
Owner: system
Owner Access: Read & Write
Group: admin
Group Access: Read & Write

If they are different, that would explain why the Installed Updates list, does not show the installed updates.
No guarantees, but if the Ownership & Permissions needed to be changed on that folder, once done, you could then remove a Receipt for one of the Security Updates, run Software Update to see if it will locate it, install it, and see if it now appears in the Installed Updates list of Software Update.

Access to folder crashes Premiere Elements 10

Whenever I request access to a folder such as "File Save To" or "Export To" or Import From. the folder dialog opens for a brief instant then the program quits.

This can happen if you have installed the K-Lite Codec Pack, which installs the Haali/Matroska Splitter. The Haali/Matroska Splitter will cause explorer to crash along with any apps when you open a window that contains certain kinds of video. CoreCodec also installs the Haali/Matroska Splitter. So if you have the Haali/Matroska Splitter installed, does uninstalling it fix the problem?
You will have to search for a file named "splitter.ax" possibly in a folder: Program Files/Haali/MastroskaSplitter
I think you can use the CodecTweak Tool to disable it, but I use the following command from a command prompt in the folder where it resides: regsvr32 /u splitter.ax
My operating system is Windows XP Pro SP3.

Disable access to the cloud storage feature for Creative Cloud for Teams?

Is it possible to disable access to Creative Cloud Files when using Creative Cloud software for Teams/Volume Licensing customers? We're considering moving to Creative Cloud subscriptsions instead of traditional licensing and the ability to turn this feature off would be the easiest way to comply with our company's security requirments.
Thanks.

BrickyB, This is what the Creative Cloud FAQ says,
My organization wants to block access to certain services, such as storage and access to community features, available through Creative Cloud. Is this possible?
Yes, your IT administrators can block users from accessing the online services. The online services and their URLs are listed here.
As an administrator, you will also be able to deploy Creative Cloud desktop applications independent of the cloud-based services using the Creative Cloud Packager. The Creative Cloud Packager is available through Creative Cloud for teams.
