File access on USB

I am trying to Photoshop files from a client on USB, but when I make changes and try to save them I get the message "write access not grated". How can I overcome this?

You could right click in My Computer > Choose properties, and see if there is an option to turn off write protection.  Or it might be as simple as the files being 'read only'.  Otherwise, Google remove write protection USB stick, or give the client a 50 cent CD.

  • HT1145 I can't see my files on my USB shared drive.  It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac.

    I can't see my files on my USB shared drive.  It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac.  How do I see them?  I also can't see them on my iPad using FileBrowser.

    You don't have access to it to configure it via Time Machine? You lost me on that one, Time Machine is used for Backup.
    Here is a basic article on the first setup and what you should see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1178
    To configure Time Capsule you should be using "Airport Utility" 5.3 or higher that is located in the Utilities folder. You can tell if its version 5.3 because the icon will have blue lines instead of orange lines like the older versions. Since you are running Leopard 10.5.6 and you ran Software Update you are probably already running the latest 5.3 version.
    The light flashing amber means you haven't entered enough information so that it can get to the internet. Once you have that info entered the light will turn green.
    If your absolutely sure your CAT5 cables are good you can try a hard reset. I think you have to push the reset button on the back and hold it for 5 seconds or so until the amber light blinks rapidly, then when you release the button it does the reset then.

    Hope this helps! If not I would probably call AppleCare support or see if you can exchange it.

  • Can't access a USB Drive connected to Time Capsule from a Windows PC.  Apple Care can't/won't assist.  HELP!!!

    Trying to get my Windows 7 PC to access the USB Drive that is connected to my Time Capsule.  I have a Fat32 Formatted USB drive connected to a 2TB Time Capsule and I'm trying to get access to that drive from a Windows 7 PC.  I've attempted to map the network drive (based on some 3-4 year old articles I could find online) but any time I access a file from the PC, the Time Capsule "freaks out" and disconnects all connections to it which forces me to unplug it to restart the Tim Capsule.  I'm at a loss now as to what to do.
    Spent a few hours talking to Apple about this and much more.  Apple Care can't or won't help with this particular problem (the guy I talked to, as nice and helpful as he wanted to be, had no experience supporting their hardware in a Windows environment).
    Someone has to know how to fix this so, PLEASE, help if you can!

    First off, Archon23, what you want to achieve is possible.  I have access to both my Time Capsule (TC) and the USB drive connected to it, from a Win. 7 and Win. XP machine.
    Here is what I see from the Windows side of things:
         From My Computer - TC USB Drive (Y)
         From Windows HomeNet - Time Capsule:
    Now getting there is the trick.
    One caveat before proceeding:  I am not well versed in Windows Networks, Windows Sharing and Firewall settings so some of the following may not be elegant, may not be absolutely required, and may not be the best way of getting there.  But it is what I did to see both the TC drive and it's attached USB  drive on the Windows side of my network..
    1.) First, I added Airport Utility to the Inbound rules of Win 7 Firewall
    While poking around my Network Sharing and Firewall settings trying to figure this out, I got a Pop-up recommending I do that.  AND I did that. Oh, and while you are at it, make sure you have a Home network established. 
    2.) Next, on a hunch, I installed a USB Wi-Fi Adapter (under $20) to my Win PC, enabled that Wi-Fi connection and disabled my Ethernet connection.  I was getting no where on this matter with my Ethernet connection to a DSL Gateway.  But with a Wi-Fi connection to my AirPort Express Base Station, I made progress.
    3.) Finally, while poking around my Network Sharing Center some more, one by one I started the various network device Setup Wizards in there, and Trouble Shooters, to find the elusive TC/USB devices in question...AND voila, it worked.   And it's stable, been this way for going on two weeks now.
    Good luck.

    Can I use my iPad with airport extreme to retrieve files from a USB connected hard drive?

    Yes, I believe so. Please check out the NetPortal app. I don't have an iPad, but I use it on my iPod Touch to access files on my Time Capsule. It is available from the iTunes App Store.

  • Unable to access shared USB Disks on Airport Extreme using Leopard

    I have a Mac Book Pro, iMac and Mac Mini all running Leopard with all of the latest updates. I use an Airport Extreme (also patched to the latest updates), and it has a 100 GB USB drive attached.
    When I was running OS X Tiger, all of my devices could connect to the shared USB drive and store files. Now that I've upgraded all of my platforms to Leopard, none of them can access the USB drive. If I try to open the disk using Finder I get the following error:
    "The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "Shared Disk 1" cannot be found."
    Anyone have a clue as to how to fix this?

  • Grant/reject access to USB thumb drive

    I am building an information security simulation model using LabVIEW
    and would like to grant/reject read/write accesses to the removable
    media such as USB thumb drives. I would appreciate if someone can
    tell me how this can be achieved under LabVIEW environment.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Belur,
    LabVIEW is capable of modifying access rights to files using the VI on
    the controls palette found at File I/O >> Advanced File Functions >>
    Access Rights. The "http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_guid=B123AE0CBACD111EE034080020E74861&p...
    example shows how to use this VI
    to modify file access rights.
    If you need more complex security functions, you will probably need to
    access third-party DLLs suited for your specific application.
    If this does not help, please post more information about the access
    controls that you are trying to implement, and which version of
    LabVIEW you are using.
    Have a good day,

  • Very very slow file access iSCSI NSS on SLES11/XEN/OES11

    Hi,
    Like many Novell customers while carrying out a hardware refresh we are moving off traditional Netware 6.5 to OES11 and at the same time virtualising our environment.
    We have new Dell Poweredge 620 serves attached by 10gig iSCSI to Equalogic SAN
    Installed SLES will all patches and updates and XEN and then created OES11 SP2 virtual machines, these connect to NSS volume by iSCSI
    Migrated files from traditional netware server to new hardware and stated testing and ran into very very slow files access times
    A 3.5mb pdf file takes close to 10 minutes to open from local PC with Novell Client installed, same if no client and open via cifs. Opening same file off traditional NW6.5 server takes 3-4 seconds.
    We have had a case open with Novell for almost 2 months but they are unable to resolve.
    To test other options we installed VMWare ESXi on the internal usb flash drive and booted off that, created same OES11 VM and connected to NSS on SAN and same pdf open in seconds.
    The current stack of SLES11/XEN/OES11 is not able to be put into production
    Any ideas where the bottleneck might be? We think is in XEN.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As also mentioned in the SUSE forums, there is the option of using the Equallogic Hit Kit. One of the tools, next to the great autoconfigure options it has, is the eqltune tool.
    Some of the stuff that I've found important:
    -gro is known read performance killer. Switch if off on the iSCSI interfaces.
    - if possible (meaning you have decent hardware), disable flowcontrol as this generally offers stability but at the cost of performance. If your hardware is decent, this form of traffic control should not be needed.
    -To have multipath work correctly over iSCSI and starting SLES 11 SP1. Make sure kernel routing and arp handling are set correctly (not directly relevant if you only have 1 10 GB link):
    net.ipv4.conf.[iSCSI interfaceX name].arp_ignore = 1
    net.ipv4.conf.[iSCSI interfaceX name].arp_announce = 2
    net.ipv4.conf.[iSCSI interfaceX name].rp_filter = 2
    Test if traffic is actively routed over both iSCSI interfaces:
    ping -I [iSCSI interfaceX name] [iSCSI Group IP EQL]
    -Make sure network buffers etc are adequately set as recommended by Dell (set in /etc/sysctl.conf):
    #NetEyes Increase network buffer sizes for iSCSI
    net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
    net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
    net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 8192 87380 16777216
    net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216
    net.core.wmem_default = 262144
    net.core.rmem_default = 262144
    -Settings for the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf I'm using:
    node.startup = automatic # <--- review and set according to environment
    node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 60
    node.conn[0].timeo.login_timeout = 15
    node.conn[0].timeo.logout_timeout = 15
    node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_interval = 5
    node.conn[0].timeo.noop_out_timeout = 5
    node.session.err_timeo.abort_timeout = 15
    node.session.err_timeo.lu_reset_timeout = 20 #Default is 30
    node.session.err_timeo.tgt_reset_timeout=20 #Default is 30
    node.session.initial_login_retry_max = 12 # Default is 4
    node.session.cmds_max = 1024 #< --- Default is 128
    node.session.queue_depth = 128 #< --- Default is 32
    node.session.iscsi.InitialR2T = No
    node.session.iscsi.ImmediateData = Yes
    node.session.iscsi.FirstBurstLength = 262144
    node.session.iscsi.MaxBurstLength = 16776192
    node.conn[0].iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLength = 131072 #A lower value improves latency at the cost of higher IO throughput
    discovery.sendtargets.iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLeng th = 32768
    node.session.iscsi.FastAbort = No # < --- default is Yes
    -Have Jumbo frames configured on the iSCSI interfaces & iSCSI switch.
    If you are using multipathd instead of the dm-switch provided with the Equallogic Hit kit, make sure the /etc/multipath.conf holds the optimal settings for the Equallogic arrays.
    Ever since Xen with SLES 11 SP1 we have been seeing strong performing virtual servers. We still use 1GB connections (two 1GB connections for each server, serving upto 180~190Mb/s).
    There could be a difference with the 10GB setup, where multipath is not really needed or used (depending on the scale of your setup). One important thing is that the iSCSI switches are doing their thing correctly. But seeing you've already found better results tuning network parameters on the Xen host, seems to indicate that's ok.
    Cheers,

  • Libusb requires write access to USB device nodes [SOLVED]

    Hi,
    I have used gtkam to upload photos from my camera for some time now - though on an occasional basis because I don't take very many photographs.  On attempting to use it today for the first time in a while I find that I can't do so as a user.
    "libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/003/002: Permission denied.
    libusb requires write access to USB device nodes."
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?

    I did some additional research and found the udev file for libgphoto2: /lib/udev/rules.d/40-gphoto.rules
    I also realized that my camera is not listed in that file:
    Bus 001 Device 011: ID 04a9:31f6 Canon, Inc.
    I tried to add this device and vendor ID to the list of Canon cameras and restarting udev
    ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="31f6", ENV{ID_GPHOTO2}="1", ENV{GPHOTO2_DRIVER}="proprietary", MODE="0660", GROUP="camera"
    # killall udevd && udevd -d
    Unfortunately this didn't work out.
    I also tried to add the following line to that gphoto udev file as suggested by Digital Cameras wiki
    PROGRAM="/lib/udev/check-ptp-camera", MODE="0660", GROUP="camera"
    Still nothing after restarting udev...
    My next try was adding the camera to the HAL fdi file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/10-camera-libgphoto2.fdi and restarting HAL.
    This didn't help either.
    I'm getting short on clues...
    For sure I can access the camera as root but that's not what I want to do.
    !! UPDATE !!
    I was dumb. PTP cameras are handled separately so I don't need to have the USB IDs in the udev or fdi files.
    So the question is why PTP cameras are not handled correctly, why the group for these devices is not "camera"?

  • Can't Access any USB drive

    I just installed Windows 10, and untill now all is working fine except for the fact that I can't access any USB Drive or PEN.
    When I try I always get the following message:
    this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer
    How can I fix this BUG.

    Hi,
    I don’t think it’s a bug, it could be driver or settings issues.
    Please run rsop.msc to see if there is any related Group policy was configured to block USB device.
    First I would like to confirm with you that expect USB drive, if other USB device can be recognized fine.
    If not, I recommend you to update or reinstall the USB controller under Device manager.
    If this issue only happened on USB drive, let’s try following suggestions:
    Suggestion 1: Check hidden device drivers
    Unplug your USB storage device.
    Type CMD in Start Search.
    Right click cmd.exe and select
    Run as administrator. Click Yes if the User Access Control box pops up.
    At the Command Prompt window, type
    set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and press the Enter key.
    Using the same Command Prompt window, type
    devmgmt.msc to bring out the Device Manager.
    At the Device Manager top menu, click
    View and select Show hidden devices.
    Browse down to the Universal Serial Bus controllers and click the
    + to expand the list.
    Probably you will see some light grey devices, e.g. USB Mass Storage Device or USB Composite Device. Right click each and every light grey devices and select Uninstall. This will remove whatever "hardware profile" linked
    to your USB storage.
    Attached your USB storage device and see if it works.
    Suggestion 2: Check if the drive can be recognized under Disk management:
    Right click the Start icon and choose Disk management.
    If you can find your USB drive there but there’s no in File explorer, follow these steps.
    Run cmd as admin, type following commands   to enable automount feature:
    Diskpart
    automount   enable
    Details   for this command:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753703.aspx
    Then try   to assign letter for your USB drive again by using commands below:
    Run cmd as   admin, type following commands:
    Diskpart
    list   volume
    sel   volume x [x present the volume number of your USB drive]
    assign   letter=g:
    Another thing is if you use USB3.0 to connect the drive, change it to USB 2.0 to see what's going on.

  • Not Working: BlackBerry Link Remote File Access Remove Old BlackBerry from BB ID

    I have: removed my blackberry q10 from blackberry link, wiped my q10, uninstalled and reinstalled blackberry link, have link version 1.1.1.32, blackberry q10 os version 10.1.0.2309 - which whenever I plug in the q10 after removing the device from link, says there is an os update, so I update it, and then it does nothing apart from rebooting the q10, or gives an error saying 'updates not available. Please check internet connection and retry.'.
    Also, I have Logout/login on blackberry link, I know my q10 is activated as I have purchased items from app world, and on the computer the app world site shows that I have a q10 when I sign in. I am using the same BBID and have changed the password on my q10 to see if that made a difference, then signed out and back into link on computer with updated password. I have administrator rights on my computer.
    I can access the q10 from my computer over the same wifi network, and it syncs files fine with wireless sync turned on. It is remote file access not giving the option to connect to my q10. 'BBID *email* isn't associated with a device running Blackberry 10 OS or an error occurred when trying to retrieve your information from the Blackberry ID servers.'
    The problem is that although I have the same blackberry id for link and my q10, no devices show up on the remote file access screen, and I cannot access my files on my computer from my q10, yet I can sync them on my computer over the wifi network. How can I enable Remote File Access?
    A problem could be that I have a Curve 9300 on my BB ID account, so if I could disable this (which I have no idea how to do after a lot of research), this might rectify why link cannot set up remote file access.
    What I haven't done is wiped my q10 and uninstalled all user data from link at the same time, as then I would have to manually reload everything on my q10.
    My q10 shows my computer in the settings\blackberry link\paired devices ,  but I 'cannot view files on *computer*'. Also, link does not show in the file manager. I set up my q10 as a permanent link not a one-off connection.

    No one cares because it's not a z10 (I know because I am having the same problem and no one knows how to fix it and no threads for q10 fix)
    Slàinte.
    Not all things are good.
    Not all things are evil.
    But with an open mind...
    You can see the difference.
    Knowledge is power.

  • Read-only file access from network volume

    I get an read-only file access from network volume problem while sharing a drive from Snow Leopard to a Tiger install. Most of files were opening well, but *.fp7 (FileMaker) and *.xls (Excel) files won't open dealing with a read-only error.
    As descibed in the last post of http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1406977 the client have the same share name of the server. Renomming it resolved the error!
    Thanks!

    right then, as it looks like I'm talking to myself....
    I have just wiped clean the Macbook Pro.
    I installed Leopard from scratch, then installed Office 2008.
    Logged back onto the network share, and the read-only error came up again, ONLY in Excel.
    bugger.
    Did the same thing with my Macbook and all is fine.
    Copy the file to the local hard drive, opens ok.
    I then copied the file to another Mac on the network.
    mmmm, opens fine.
    what's the difference....
    mmmm, the machine it opens fine from is running 10.4
    the machine which hosts all the data is running 10.3.9
    could this be the problem.
    Just done a software update check on the 10.3 machine and there are some security updates that need doing.
    Going to run that now and see what happens, otherwise I think the iMac running 10.3.9 is going to need to come up to 10.4 and fingers crossed this will solve it.

  • I have a time machine backup file on a USB hard drive.  I bought a time capsule / airport extreme, flat 3TB.  I wish to transfer the backup file from the usb hard drive to the time capsule hard drive.  10.6.8

    I have a time machine backup file on a USB hard drive.  I bought a time capsule / airport extreme, flat 3TB.  I wish to transfer the backup file from the usb hard drive to the time capsule hard drive.  10.6.8

    Unfortunately, Time Machine backups that are stored on a drive that has been connected directly to a Mac are completely different than Time Machine backups that are stored on a Time Capsule.
    Frankly, it is not worth the effort and trouble to try to transfer the old backups to the new Time Capsule.....my opinion....having done this in the past.
    It is possible though, but I would not recommend it due to the complexity and downsides involved with this. To give you an idea of how to do this, check out this support article.
    http://pondini.org/TM/18.html
    Even if you transfer the "old" backups over to the Time Capsule successfully, Time Machine will not simply "add on" to the old backups.
    Time Machine will make a new complete backup of your Mac and then add incremental backups from that point.
    My advice.....start a new backup on the Time Capsule and move forward. Keep the USB hard drive around for a month, maybe 2 or 3 in case you need to go back to an old backup for some reason.  At that time, you will not likely need the old backups at all since you will have a current 2-3 month history of new backups.  At that point, you can erase the USB drive and use it for another purpose.

  • How can I send a large .MOV file to a USB?

    We had an event a few days ago, and made a movie with iMovie, when I finally finished making it and adding what i wanted and edited to my like I exported it. The file is currently 9.86GB. I have a 32GB USB thumbdrive but everytime I try to "drag and drop" it tells me the file is too large for the volumes format. Now, I'm confused. I also tried exporting it directly to my USB but that didn't work also. I've tried sending the movie through an ethernet cable I had, and I succeeded but the quality downgraded and the movie was converted to a 8.42GB movie. I want the full HD video I took and edited, and thats on my mac. By the way I'm trying to send this movie to my VAIO PC. So does anyone know how to copy .MOV files to a USB? It's a PNY 32GB USB thumbdrive.

    Here's how I did it: 
    1.  Open disc utility
    2.  Select the USB drive on the left
    3.  Click the "erase" button
    4.  It will give you a "Format" pull down bar, select "Mac extended journaled." That will give you the complete USB to use. I don't suggest case sensitive journaled.
    5.  Click "Erase and Reformat"
    Success!

  • Sql agent job getting file access denied error

    I'm not sure if this question belongs in this forum. Please move it if you want to.
    Here is my question. I have an ssis package that is running into an error at the file system task trying to move a file. The package is deployed to the catalog and I am running the package using the stored procedure
    [SSISDB].[catalog].[start_execution] @execution_id
    When I execute this stored proc in Management Studio while logged in under a sysadmin, everything works fine. But when I call the same TQL in SQL Agent job, I get a file access denied error. This has something to do with the id that is getting used
    to run the package and I am not sure how to track that down. Any help would be appreciated.
    I've check the windows permission on both the id that is running the SQL Agent and SQL SSIS Service. Both seem to have the right windows permission.
