File search - not authorized

I have system of computers... all with similar setups, about half I can control and observe, but not transfer files. The other half I can control, observe, and transfer file work fine.
I can not understand why some work and some do not.... same setup.
When I try to transfer a file, or search for a file the task files and the error it gives is not authorized, however I have ARD'd in with admin access.

I had a similar problem where I could perform a File Search, but it would fail on at least half of the machines and return a Not Authorized error. What seems to have fixed this problem is to click on the "Rebuild data for report" check box, and this cleared up the problems I was having with a trouble computer that would not return a File Search. I could connect to the computer and control it just fine, but could never get a report back from it.
Perhaps this might fix your problem?

How do you find out which files are not authorized?

All of a sudden, out of the blue, I start getting this message :
Some of the Audible files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod “iPod” because you are not authorized to play them on this computer.
Well first of all - all of the music I've bought in the last 4 years have come from iTunes so why this comes up now all of a sudden is beyond me.
Computer hasn't changed.
Same old iPod touch (1st gen) I've been using for several years now. The last time I tried to sync it was probably a few weeks ago (with no problems).
I thought I'd look to see if say the past 10 songs I've purchased are on the iPod (which goes back several months)... they are.
So I thought - ok let's see if I get a problem syncing my iPhone and my iPad. Nope - no problems there.
I'm stumped.
It would be nice if I could even get a list of the files it claims can't be synced to the iPod, that would be a good starting point to diagnose the problem, but I can't figure out even how to get that.
Help!

Some of the Audible files ...
if you're seeing that error, it has nothing to do with purchased content from the iTunes store.
Audible is an online store that sells Audiobooks. The audiobooks purchased from Audibooks work the same way as the songs purchased from iTunes. You can only play the audiobooks on a limited number of computers.

Network smb server file search not working

Hi,
I cannot do file searches on remote smb windows 2003 server under Lion. I could do it with the previous osx version, It just says searching and stalls there with no result shown.
Thanks for any tip,
fundc

"Once credentials are submitted, the share is mounted without the need to select it - is this normal?"
yes , unless there are other shares as options.
"The share I need reports: drwxrwx---@ 22 admin all-staff 748 16 Mar 14:38 Current Work, so that looks right."
only posix owner and group are allowed which is admin all-staff. Are these groups available in LDAP ?
really you should have something like
drwxrwxr-x+ 12 root admin 408 Mar 15 22:32 MyShare
that little + then allows other users or groups to access the filesystem.
do an " ls -le " to see more
sample;
drwxrwxr-x+ 12 root admin 408 Mar 15 22:32 MyShare
ls -le
drwxrwxr-x+ 12 root admin 408 Mar 15 22:32 MyShare
0: user:_spotlight inherited allow list,search,file_inherit,directory_inherit
---- then I can allow other access rules.
Using the Gui in osx server I gave read/write access to the IT_dudes Group on the Share. *note the group is an active directory group from the NT Domain named BETH.
This server is bound.
drwxrwxr-x+ 12 root admin 408 Mar 15 22:32 MyShare
0: user:_spotlight inherited allow list,search,file_inherit,directory_inherit

ITunes says computer is not authorized to play file, but it definitely is

Hello.
I recently bought Ministry of Sound's 90s Anthems 2 on iTunes. All the files have downloaded, but certain ones won't play. When I try to click them, I get the error message: 'This computer is not authorized to play X. Would you like to authorize it?' See below.
The computer is authorized. I purchased this album for £9.99. My computer is the only authorized computer on my account. If I log into my account as it says in the error message, it tells me the computer is already authorized and STILL won't let me play the tracks. Can anyone help?
Paul

Authorization should only be required to play "protected" media whereas the tracks should be classed as "purchased". It is likely that the tracks are corrupt. Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases (like the U.K.), delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library (but do not hide from iCloud), close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading click the small download activity widget underneath the search box and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

DW Search not seeing file - CRITICAL

Hi Gang-
I ran into a critical issue yesterday when using Dreamweaver
(CS3) to do a "Find" on a string of text.... I did a "ctrl-F" to
look for a string of text inside of a file, and performed a search
using DW's source code and text options. The string is present in a
file, however none of the ways that I could execute a search/find
with DW yielded a positive search result; DW search results came up
empty.
This presented a very uncomfortable situation that I was
forced into with a support group, so much so they mandated that I
download and install CFEclipse (the search result came back
positive with CFEclipse). More importantly, it made me look foolish
that a simple search gave wrong results and consequently killed
several hours of my time, and others as well.
I was trying to find a simple string of text "Your attempt
was successful." I copied and pasted the search term, tried shorter
strings and ultimately the search failed. The file that I needed to
find was a ".properties" file - is there something special I need
to know to have DW handle these file types? Are there any other
file types that will hang me up in the same way?
Thanks for your help,
Rich

This is an issue that I have never come across before. You're
using a
non-standard filename extension, so it doesn't particularly
surprise me
that Dreamweaver ignored it. Have you tried entering
.properties in the
list of filename extensions, as I suggested? If that works,
your problem
is solved. All that's needed is for the documentation to be
made more
explicit.
On the other hand, if your filename extension is likely to be
in
widespread use, perhaps it's something that should be added
to the
standard list of files that Dreamweaver handles. Submit a
feature
request to the Dreamweaver team.

I recently bought a new computer and had all my files moved to it. Now when I sync my iPad and iPod I get a message stating that some (41) of my items can not be copied to my PC because it is not authorized even though it is authorized on my account.

I recently got a new PC and had all of my files moved to it. However, when I sync my iPad and IPod nano I get a message that states that 41 of my items can not be copied to the PC because it is not authorized on my account even though it is. I have tried de-authorizing it and re-authorizing it but they still will not copy. Any thoughts on how I can get them to copy?

"Note: If you no longer have access to a computer that is using one of your authorizations, you can deauthorize all of the computers associated with your account by following the steps at the bottom of About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization".
Authorize the new computer. Launch iTunes. Go to the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Sync your iPod.

File to File - "Not authorized to file" Problem

Hi
I have configured a communication channel to pick a file form R/3 system. We have created an FTP user for this. We are getting "Not authorized to file" error in adapter monitoring. I came to know that the FTP user needs R3OWNER authority. Does the FTP user really needs the R3OWNER authority or is there any other way to pick the file from the R/3 system ?
Regards,
Sreenivas Nettem

Nettem,
If the client has no problem within the organisation to share the files then we will go for NFS. If you send the files outside your organisation then we will do the FTP. NFS is nothing but network file sharing.
Sometimes even with in the organisation also client dont want to give file sharing. Then you will go for FTP. Hope this gives you some idea on these two.

"The file 'x' could not be copied because this computer is not authorized."

I am trying to get an app (VSCO Cam) from my sister's iTunes library. We are logged onto the same home share network, and I can open her library just fine, but when I click the app and click "Import", a box shows up and says, "The file "VSCO CAM could not be copied because this computer is not authorized." I'm not sure wat computer it's talking about, buton both computers we've got up to the "Store" button, clicked "Authorize this computer", and we've entered OUR OWN Apple ID's. Now, the one we use for homesharing is different, and we both have our own apple ID's, which I put in my own, and she put in her own when asked to authorize our computers. Should we be putting in the ID we use when we homeshare when asked to authorize? Or will that change everything about our iTunes libraries.
I can import a song just rom her library just fine, it's only when I try to do the app/.

Unhidden files are not revealed in Finder search

When I use the Finder "Search" window, my Library folder, System folder and folders therein are not revealed, even though I can manually locate them though the Finder's tree. As far as I can tell, these files are not hidden and do not have special security settings. They do not show up in Spotlight either. What in the world is going on? I never had these problems with older versions of OS X.
Thanks to anyone who can assist!

Spotlight doesn't normally show files from those folders because those folders do not contain files that should normally be accessed directly. Rather than clutter the search results, system files are suppressed unless you specifically ask for them. Do that by including a criterion in your search to 'include system files'. You might have to add that option to the search criterion pop-up by choosing "Other...". Check "System Files" and then choose "Include".

Using Finder search not displaying file names

I'm running 10.6.4 and searching from the finder on an Xserve for a file name 00035.png but it's not showing in the results.
Any ideas?

To clarify your question, when you perform the file search through finder, at the bottom of the window is there a place where it says "x items" and is the number shown there greater than zero?
I am having trouble understanding if your search is returning results but they aren't being displayed, or if you're searching for a file you know is on your drive, but it's not being identified.

I am being blocked from my "favorites"on my iPad 2 with the following....... You are not authorized to open this file. What do I need to do

I'm not sure whether you have tried the "usual" things:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
* Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* classic Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Why do I get a message that my computer is "not authorized" to play some iTune files, but when I authorize it I'm told it's already authorized????

I get a message that my new computer is not "authorized" to play certain files - music, videos,- in iTunes, but when I go to the screen to authorize it, I'm told it's already authorized.

Moved Files "Not Authorized"

Is there a step I am missing when copying new files to machines that are authorized to play my iTunes content?
Currently my iTunes libraries are located on external drives.
I have one for my desktop (G-Tech 2TB) and one for my MacBook Pro (iOmega Mini Max 2TB).
The problem I am having is with the "authorizations" on the files.
Even though both computers are authorized to play my iTunes content when I copy new files and go to play something new on my MacBook Pro the system invariably tells me that "this computer is not authorized to play this content". Now if I have an internet connection available this is an easy fix but if I don't (which is fairly often when I am operating off my laptop) I am screwed.
Is there a step I am missing in importing that will prevent this?

Hi kellmack,

Did you download the app via that same iTunes account id ? Have you tried re-downloading it directly on your iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) ?
