File Read: Access Denied

This is the exception I get for every file that is being read from Program Files or Program data folder. I get this exception for some other files also.
FROM FEjava.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Locale\en_us\How-Tos\recipes\adobe\013\020 (Access is denied)
How can I remove this exception ? ?

Err, he said the file is being read. How will making it not read-only help that?
@OP your problem is that you don't have operating system permission to access that file or possibly that directory. The solution to this lies in the operating system, not in Java.

File read access denied for signed applet

    }The above code is called by a java script, the class' constructor is empty.
The error appears not to be caught by my code. I have tried to insert try/catch statements everywhere to figure out where this error is produced.
The code is write off of the applet for signing with a smart card by Svetlin Nakov - and his applet works!
I have also made a CLI application that uses the above code and it works perfectly.
So: Something is wrong either with my certificate, the signing method, signature verification or something completely different. Any hints?
The certificate I generated with
keytool -genkey -keystore mystore -alias me
keytool -seflcert -keystore mystore -alias meI have tired both with and without the selfcert step.
Thanks! Erik

The problem has been identified: Placing registerProvider() in the constructor the error no longer occurs, instead an error is produced when the key store is loaded.
It appears that the javascript code is not trusted and so, even though the applet is signed, access privileges are restricted to those of the java script.
A solution to this problem is not clear, but possibly, serving the pages from a trusted server, the java script will be trusted, some documentation seem to indicate.

Render - "File Error: Access Denied"

When I attempt to Render All in a sequence I get "File Error: Access Denied". What am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug?
BTW, file is set to "Read & Write".
Thanks for any help.

David, I've just gotten back to training and I'm doing this with Lynda.com tutorials.
The problem area that I posted about has a moving clip that's in V1, overlaying that in V2 is text. From what I just figured out it's actually the text that's giving me the error. I found this out by unchecking "Clip Enable" for each and then tried rendering. It went fine for V1, but got the error on V2, the text.
Motion Clip Properties:
Quicktime
2.5mb
29.97fps
720x486
ProRes 422
NTSC
Text properties:
Layered Graphic Sequence
3.9mb
23.98fps
720x486
NTSC
Both are "Read & Write".
When I play this part of my sequence the motion clip does not move when I hit play, yet if I scrub I see the motion. This I assume is because it needs to be rendered. There's also a red line in the TL above these two clips.
Is there something more I need to post?

Ask your question.Can't render get File error access denied. Whats causing this? FCP 7.0.3

I Can't render get File error access denied. Whats causing this? FCP 7.0.3

Its an was update from an earlier version.
What earlier version?
And you're saying when you using File>Import>File and select a JPEG you get the error message?
You can't or shouldn't import MP3s into FCP.
Have you try creating a new porject and importing into that?

When I try to render, it states "File Error:Access Denied"

When I try to render, it states "File Error:Access Denied". I am working with FCP 6.0.3 and am connected to a RAID with other FCP systems tied into it. Any ideas on what this means or how to fix it? Is it a permissions issue? If so, I don't understand how that works. Help!
Steve

Steve, I have the same problem... sometimes!
I have isolated it mostly to my audio files... I used to be able to use .mp3 just fine in FCP 5, but in 6, it seems to really have an affection for .aiff But today, I had to make sure the sample rate was the same! Ugh... so after re-sampling my music to match my other audio on the timeline (44.1) I'm all good...
Hope this helps... I also tried the permissions, etc... and had no needed repairs... and yes, my capture drive is set correctly, and the ownership is ignored, etc.

File Error: Access Denied After Installing FCP X on FCP 7 Drive

Hi, after foolishing installing FCPX on the same har drive as FCP7 (I know against all sane advice and recommendations) I now get File error: Access Denied when trying to save work under FCP 7.
Does anyone have any advice re resolving this issue.
Would be much appreciated, I'm loathe to do a full reinstall if I can possibly avoid it
Thanks in adcance
john

Have you run software update and repaired premissions?
Was FCPX installed before or after FCP7?
FCP7 and the other FCS3 apps should be located in a folder in Applications if you're going to have them coexist with FCPX. If you had FCS installed prior to downloading FCPX, that relocation is done automatically. But you could also do it manually.
If you haven't sen it, here is Apple's best installation practices.

File error, access denied after software upgrade

We have three users who log on separately to the Mac. After doing a software update in standard mode, that user and administrator can no longer log and capture video, a file error, access denied warning comes up. What I have noticed is that the Final Cut Pro version number for the administrator and the user who done the update has changed to 6.04, where as the other two uses who are still able to capture video is 6.01.

Hmmm... the next step would be to trash the permissions of with FCPRescue. You can easily google for it.
But short of that... are there other system wide issues you've been having with admin vs user?

File Error: Access Denied on FCP?

I shot my documentary on a Canon T2i. I went on FCP to upload my clips and begin editing. I am not quite sure what the preset for my capture and sequence were before I started but I swtiched computers mid-way I was editing. Everything was saved my external hard-drive and now the FCP on the computer I am using will not let me render anything. It keeps saying "File Error: Access Denied". My documentary is due tomorrow and I don't know what to do.

Use Finder to select the drive your media is on, and press Cmd+i to open the information window.
At the bottom of the window, click the permissions disclosure triangle, and check 'ignore ownership of this drive'.
Hope that helps.

Java.io.File causes "access denied" exception in a signed applet

Hi,
New to these forums and not entirely where it's appropriate to post this issue, so I'll stick it here for now until told otherwise.
The problem:
My applet throws the following exception.
INFO: Exception Message: access denied (java.io.FilePermission C:\Some Dir With Spaces\AnotherDir\FinalDir read)
The psuedo-code:
java.io.File RootPath = new java.io.File( "C:\" );
private boolean doesSubdirectoryExist(String directory) {
        boolean mResult = false;
        try
            java.io.File tmpPath = new java.io.File( RootPath.toString() + java.io.File.separatorChar + directory );
            mResult = tmpPath.isDirectory();
            tmpPath = null;
        catch (Exception e)
            ... error handling code
        return mResult;
private void btnCheckPathActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        ....some other stuff....
        doesSubdirectoryExist(.. a text field value from the GUI form..);
        ....some other stuff....
}                                       The conditions:
1) The applet is signed.
2) The applet runs fine in the AppletViewer.
3) I am using JDK1.5.0_09.
4) When I click the button the event handler is tied to, it works correctly the first time.
5) If I click a second time, with the same value in the text field (i.e. testing for the same subdirectory again) I get the exception error.
I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this one out. If it were a security issue with the applet running from a browser, why does it work the first time?
Am I failing to release some lock that creating a java.io.File instance creates?
I would appreciate any help.

I've identified the issue. I was attempting to access the filesystem from two different thread and/or contexts.
It seems that if I use the SwingWorker class from https://swingworker.dev.java.net/ to perform background tasks in the Worker thread, I don't get the security privileges required to modify the filesystem. Even though I have signed the jar correctly.
However I can access the filesystem quite happily from the Event Dispatcher thread. If my jar is signed correctly.
So, I have the following questions:
1. Why doesn't SwingWorker worker threads get the same security context as the event dispatcher thread?
2. Is there anyway I can give the worker thread the necessary security privileges?
3. Is there anyway to do this without having to write my own thread handling code and creating my own thread pools?

File upload 'access denied' [i'm desperate]

I've been trying to fix this issues for months now.
I've searched everywhere online and while i've seen other postings with this exact issue- i havent seen anyone resolve it. Any help would be appreciated.
The issue is when i have a form with 3 file uploads and i don't input a file into all 3 fileds i get a error 404 access denied error up subit. If i do have files in each form field it works like a charm. The problem with this is that i can't expect the user to have three files to upload everytime.
I noticed if i remove the "file" + i i get a file generated at the root of the folder. I don't know if that means anything.
Also, if i just have a form with one file upload i don't get these issues.
here is my code.

If I can get this problem solved i think it will be very benificial to a lot of new users trying to do what i am, considering this code works like a charm (aside from this one issue).

Windows Update for Security Essentials causes FDF-PDF network opening a file error:Access Denied

We open PDF files on mapped network drives, using FDF forms with fields. The latest Windows Update (12/15/14) KB2310138 is now causing the Adobe Reader application to say "Access Denied". I know it is the update for sure. I have one computer WITH the update that gets the error, another without that doesn't. If I change the "/F" reference in the FDF to use a local "C:" copy of the PDF, there is no error message.
Cannot undo the Windows Update. Although it shows on the history list, when I go into "Installed Updates" to undo it, it is not listed there.
Help!

Hi,
Are you still facing this issue?

Shared Variable Read Access Denied from Fieldpoint

I've posted this in the Fieldpoint forum, but I think I may get more responses here:
I've created a shared variable bound to a single analog input (AI) channel on my fieldpoint 2120. When I attempt to read from this variable in my VI, I get the error: "Read access is denied to the shared variable."
BUT, when I view the variable in the shared variable manager, the analog signal is updating correctly and continuously.
Anyone know what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks!

File error: Access Denied in FCP when trying to save a project.

Can anyone help? I'm trying to save a project in FCP, however I keep getting an error stating access denied.
Thanks

Save it to a different folder or hard drive, quit and then try repairing your permissions with Disk Utility...
You could also go to the folder where you are trying to save to, press command-i and check to see if the ownership is correct... then try to save (then run the Permissions repair).

Manipulating File Read Access

The java.io.File class contains a method setReadOnly which takes no parameters and makes a file read only. Javadoc:
Marks the file or directory named by this abstract pathname so that only read operations are allowed. After invoking this method the file or directory is guaranteed not to change until it is either deleted or marked to allow write access. Whether or not a read-only file or directory may be deleted depends upon the underlying system.
Does anyone know whether or not it is possible to do the opposite, and make a read only file writeable in a platform independant manner? (I.e. Not by using native code or System.exec).

I've also noticed the java.io.FilePermission class which has a notion of read/write/exec/delete permissions, but my impression is that this class is merely a question of granting those permissions through a SecurityManager to parts of a JVM.
So, I would expect that even if the SecurityManager gives permission to write to a file, if that file is read-only in the underlying file system, then it would still not be able to write to the file. If someone who is more familiar with the Permissions system can correct or confirm this, that would be helpful, too!
Thanks,
