External Harddisk read only after the system hand during I copy some folders to my external drive.

I'm using macbook pro mid 2010.
I could not write my external HDD 1TB (WD) after I copying the folder from local folder to external folder via my parallel desktop.
During the copying, the system hang halfway and no choice i terminate the copy. SInce that, i could not write my HDD either from OSX or via parallel desktop.
When i check the infer, the HDD shown read only. I truing to use the disk utility to verify the disk but I could not click on the button.
Appreciate someone could advice me beside backup and reformat the HDD.
Thank you!

I've got the same problem here with a Seagate external HD. I've been able to install Leopard on another Western Digital HD and boot from it to copy some files to a newly purchased external, but in Leopard I can't copy my 180GB music library because of several errors. It either says that the file names cannot be copied because they are too similar to another file name (accidental dupes in the library) or that the names are too long to be copied and neither make any sense. I'm trying to figure out how to move all of my music over without having to go through it file by file and without losing anything.
I was able to easily copy all other information from the hard drive; the music is the last remaining item I need before I reformat the external and use it in Snow Leopard as a TM backup drive.

  • External hd read only after snow leopard

    Hi, I installed snow leopard and it's running fine, but now my permissions for my external drives (mac formatted) are now read-only. It wont let me change the permission, or change owner, even when I go through root account (regular account is an admin). I already repaired permissions on my mac hd in a vain attempt to see if that would help, but it didn't.
    I then tried the chmod command in terminal
    sudo chmod -R u+rwX /Volumes/"myexternaldrivename"
    but all i get is this for every file on the drive.
    chmod: Unable to change file mode on /Volumes/Aaron's Big External/music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Disturbed/Ten Thousand Fists (Bonus Video Version)/Video - Stricken.mp4: Permission denied
    Any suggestions?

  • To make RFQ form or Quotation form read only after the satus is made closed

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where we need to make all the fields either on RFQ or Quotation form read only/freezed/greyed out once the document status is made Closed from Active satus. The User should not be able to change any value in the RFQ or Quotation form. The same needs to be achieved in core purchasing module. Looking forward towards kind suggestions. Thanks.
    With Best Regards,
    Nirabh Nayan

    Hi,
    Please perform form personalization.
    Triggering event : WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE, WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD
    Triggering object : PO_HEADERS
    condition : :PO_HEADERS.STATUS='Closed'
    In action, Type : property
    Object type : Block
    Target object : PO_Headers
    Property name : update_allowed
    value : false.
    Like this, you need to create a actions for all the Blocks available in RFQ/Quotation Form ( ex: PO_lines, PO_Shipments etc)
    Thanks,

  • How to make fields read only after form is filled in

    I am creating forms to be used within our company.  The customer srv representative (CSR) would fill in the form and send it to the customer for signature and initial.  There are a few issues I can't solve.
    1)  I need to make the rate & services fields read only after the CSR initials the form

    Will the CSR have Acrobat or just Reader, and what type of computer will the CSR be using (Windows/Mac/mobile OS)? If just Reader (Wind/Mac), this is possible by setting the fields to read-only with JavaScript. The problem is this can't be considered secure, even if using a password as discussed here: Password-protect and hide one form field
    With Acrobat you have the ability to flatten certain fields, which makes it a bit more difficult to change the "fields".

  • Office 2013 - Word cannot establish a connection with this document after the system resumed from suspend mode

    Hiya!
    This issue has been answered numerous times for Office 2010 and Office 2007, but I have yet to any solutions or Hotfixes that work for Office 2013 (x64) on Win7.
    How to replicate the issue:
    Open a file from a network share.
    Edit file.
    Leave computer on with file open. Computer goes to sleep or into stand-by mode.
    Wait a bit
    Wake up computer
    CPU opens file in Read-Only mode and gives you the following error "Word cannot establish a network connection with this document after the system resumed from suspend mode. Save the document into a different file to keep any changes."
    What I've tried:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2434898 - Office 2007 registry fixes. Does not apply.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2413659 - Office 2010 problem. This exact issue. Says 'No microsoft products that match this hotfix are installed'
    Work Around:
    I can saving new versions of these files overrides this issue, but this is sometimes not possible for end-users who only have specific access to ONE SPECIFIC FILE in a particular network share.
    Please let me know how I can alleviate this issue!
    Thanks
    -Chris

    Hi,

    As of EHP3, you could still install some EHP components. On an ERP 6.00, you could just push SAP_APP to 6.03 and move on. Now if you want another component in your system with an EHP4 version, you can't have some components at EHP3 and some at EHP4. You would install EHP4 for the new component you desire updated and part of the work will be to also update SAP_APP to 6.04.
    EHP4 is an UPGRADE process, with shadow instance & all the joy of an upgrade process. You can either run ressource minimized or downtime minimized. In resource minimized, the shadow instance runs on the same server as the main instance. Downtime minimized allow to run the shadow instance on a separate / new server. Anyway you go, you will always have a "Downtime Phase" when you bring back the updated components from the shadow instance toward the real production one.
    As with any UPGRADE project, the benefits of installing EHP4 for your business has to weighted against the downtime cost.
    Our tests so far on small systems (few data, few users, 120GB database) show ~3 days process from EHP3 to EHP4 (all components) with a downtime phase of about 22 hours using the "resource minimized" path, i.e. shadow & main instance on the same server (4 CPUs, 16GB RAM). Until you give a try at your Sandbox or DEV systems, you won't have realistic figures for your environment.
    Good luck!

  • My windows(8.1 64bit) partition is read only from the mac(yosemite) side of things. Anybody have a clue on how to fix this? Also, slightly frustrating as well, windows crashes every time I attempt to open a file from the mac partition.

    All Office applications will also try to open a temporary work file in the same location as the source file. This implies the source file directory also needs to be writable for this temporary file. Since the default HFS+ driver provides only read-only access, such temporary files will fail to open, and will cause the application to fail.
    As a test copy the file you want to edit, say an Excel spreadsheet from the OSX file system to the C: drive on the Windows side and try to open it. If you look in this directory, you should see two files, the source and a temporary file. You may have to force the temporary file to be opened on a read-write file system, by manipulating the folder for temporary files.

  • Make a field required on record creation, read only after that

    Hello,
    Does anyone know of a way to make a pick-list field required on record creation, but read-only after that? The other twist to this is that we need to allow this field to also be read-write for all the integration edits, since this field's value could change in the enterprise database.
    Thanks,
    Neal G.

    Hi !
    I think you can add a validation rule for that. Something like :
    IIf(PRE('<YOURFIELD>') IS NULL, <> '', = PRE('<YOURFIELD>'))
    This means that if the previous value of your field is null (it's a creation), so the value must be different than blank. Else, it must be equal to the previous value, so not modified.
    I didn't tested it, but I let you get back to me if it works... or not !
    You'll just have to add a message saying that this field is required on creation and readonly after...
    Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

  • Word 2010 document becomes Read-Only after saving it

    Hi,
    My Word 2010 document is becoming "Read Only" after saving it, for information my doucment is on the desktop . I searched on this forum and find a couple of solutions (deactivating auto saving, etc.) but it does not work at all. Any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Sylvain.

    , I wonder why the docuemnt is becoming Read-Only when I am saving it on the Desktop...
    I've read articles and blogs of people arguing each side of whether you should use the Desktop as a storage folder and I really
    don't have anything substantial to add to either the pro or con side of the issue.
    However, what I know about Word is that it behaves a bit different and seems to have issues when you’re actively editing document that are stored
    on the Desktop.  I would speculate that the issue has something to do with the screen driver software.
    When you’re editing a document, Word is actually using something like a dozen or more temporary hidden files and some of these are stored in the
    same folder as the source document. If the source document’s folder is the Desktop, then there has to be interaction with the screen driver. 
    This interaction with the screen driver is one variable that makes the Desktop folder unique and possibly problematic and thus Word under certain conditions
    makes the file Read Only.

  • Is it possible to circumvent read-only after a pdf has been signed?

    Hi, my pdf has a signature field.  In the signed event I have make all fields read-only.  Is it possible for someone to come along and make them not read-only anymore?  It seems the easiest way to make my document tamper-proof.  Thank you.

    goodprogramming wrote:
    It's not the file that is set to read-only at the OS level.  The signature field has an event for signed.  Once that occurs I have the checkbox selected that says mark all fields as read-only.  I want to be sure it is really read-only and that there is no way to make it non-read-only.
    save as does not change the read onlyness of the pdf.  I have tried this.
    It shouldn't matter.
    Making changes to the file after the signature is added will invalidate the signature. You'll know someone has been messing around if the sig is invalidated.
    Even if you have a reason to do what you want, you can't. At least not without a very expensive Digital Rights Management solution plus a server to run it.

  • Changing a Record to Read-Only after an event.

    I have a Developer application that needs to be modified. This
    application includes several fields as well as a comments
    field. I'd like to change all updatable fields (not to included
    the comments field) to READ-ONLY after a certain event. Then
    after a certain date, I'd like to make the comments field READ-
    ONLY.
    Do you have any suggestions?

    Dear Regina,
    Have you tried to set_block_property in pre-record trigger to update allowed/not allowed depending on the event. And in post-record update not allowed. These triggers must be on block level. Also on item level to the item 'Comment' define pre-item trigger where take a new decision whether you want to open the entire block or not, the same way as on block level triggers. But in post-item trigger always make the entire block read-only again.

  • Make all text fields read only after signing form

    Hello,
    I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
    The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
    for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
    var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
    if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
    After signing the form the following console error is shown:
    this.getNthFieldName is not a function
    Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
    Any assistance will be most appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
    In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

  • Firefox profile folder becomes read-only after closing browser

    firefox profile folder becomes read-only after closing browser
    It is a problem with firefox or is it this to to a virus?
    How to fix? How to prevent?

    Only a check mark in the Read-only box means that a folder or file is Read-only.<br />
    Windows doesn't check all the files in a folder so instead displays a greenish block to indicate that it is not sure.<br />
    You need to look at the files individually to see if any are read-only.<br />
    Easiest to do that is to make the Attributes visible in "View > Details" mode: Choose Details in Windows Explorer.<br />

    Well, yes, in the sense that simplicity has a price: it comes at the cost of reduced functionality. (If all the functionality were still there, things wouldn't be as simple; it's an inevitable trade-off.) It looks like IBA was designed with the iWeb philosophy: make simple things really simple, and leave out the stuff that's too complex to control for non-experts. The upside of course is that non-experts can use the tool really easily.

    Sure. But almost all that effort went towards creation of the content, not towards laying it out with IBA (which was remarkably easy). So, in that sense, IBA more than met my expectations. The things it does do, it by and large does really well, and without much expertise needed on my part. The only thing that was complex was the HTML widget, which took some programming. But that's entirely my own fault, not IBA's
