Finder move setting changed to copy

I am using leopard 10.5.2: Previously when I dragged a file in my shared folder (/Users/Shared) to another folder (still on hard drive not to a volume) it would move the file. However I have noticed that it now copies a file, instead on moving.
This seems to be a similar problem to another post recently (Finder automatically duplicates files
Posted: Mar 10, 2008 1:25 PM) but it seems (to my guess) to be have been activated when I did a change to permissions to the Shared folder to allow everyone to read and write to the files. I also changed all its subfolders and files with "get info". I have completed the instructions given in the other post and have pasted the Terminal results at the end of the post.
PLEASE HELP! it is really irritating.
The only "out of the ordinary" things that I have done within the last 24 hours is:
1. As mentioned above - I did a global change to the permissions on the folder and all its contents using "get info"
2. I downloaded and installed a copy of Blender 3d application
3. I also just burnt my first data dvd on this Macbook

In so doing, you made root (what Finder calls "system") the owner of all the enclosed folders, as the Terminal output shows. This is not the default & is indirectly responsible for the copy behavior.
Try making a new folder in /Users/Shared/ from your "sam" account & rerunning the terminal command. If the new folder shows sam as its owner, the simplest fix is to copy the items from the "shared personal" folder into it, repeat the process with another new folder for the "sibley design" folder, delete the two originals (authentication may be required), & finally rename the two new folders with the old folder's names.
In the future, use the 'apply to enclosed' option with great care & only after verifying that the enclosed items should have similar permissions to the enclosing one. If you aren't sure, then don't use the option.
BTW, it appears you have not given your computer a network name -- it appears as "Unknown-00-1b-63-9f-6a-a3" in Terminal's command line, which is its MAC (hardware) address. To prevent certain (unrelated) problems from occurring, go to System Preferences > Sharing & fill in or edit the "Computer Name" field with some descriptive phrase. Due to a bug in Leopard, it is best to use only upper & lower case letters in the ASCII set (a through z) & avoid punctuation. An example would be "SamMBP" or anything else that uniquely identifies it on a local network.

Links no longer clickable in emails can't find where to change setting

I changed a Firefox setting several months ago that no longer allows me to click and open the link in on that tab. I now have to right click and open link in a new tab. I cannot find anywhere to change the setting back. I find no settings for links. Where can I change the setting back so that I can click and open links without going to another tab?

Update:the "use hardware acceleration when available" line was NOT checked when I looked at that. I switched to the default theme. When I'm looking at the Extensions under ad ons mgr tab, the only ad ons I have are- Adblock Plus 2.0.3 and Adblock Plus Pop-Up 0.3. I looked at each of those and nothing pertaining to links there. REMINDER: Links became unclickable in their original window only after I choose that option somewhere (I wish I could remember). Is it possible that that option was provided in my AVG settings and not Firefox? Disabling both Adblock Plus and Adblock Plus PopUp allowed links to open in original window. Enabling Adblock Plus disallowed links to open in original window. Disabled Adblock Plus and enabled Adblock Plus PopUp and links open in original windows again. I don't see any settings pertaining to links when I look at the page that comes up for more info on Adblock Plus nor are there any updates. I see no place else to check for settings for Adblock Plus. Is there anywhere to check for all settings for Adblock Plus or what is my next step?

I just got a retro clock from brookstone and in setting it up it asked if I want to use current location which is incorrectly "Buffalo" but I do not know how to change it. Can anyone help me find where to change location?

As I understand it, Apple gets your location from the wi-fi router to which your iPod is connected. Location Services identifies the router and then checks for its location in Apple's database. If the router has been recently relocated or if there is a glitch in Apple's database, you will get an incorrect location. I don't think that there is anything you can do about it. You could send Apple a message about the error, but I doubt if they would do anything about it.

How do I Find/Set/Change a Bluetooth passkey on a T61 laptop with the Lenovo US/Eng Vista OS image?

I purchased a T61 two years ago. It came with the Lenovo Vista Ultimate OS, US/English. The T61 has Bluetooth, which I never used until now.
I try to pair a cell phone and a PDA (both Palm devices) with the T61, and the devices ask for the T61's Bluetooth Passkey. I don't know what the passkey value is, nor do I see anywhere to set, change or enter it.
This is how I know the the Bluetooth device driver is working on the T61: 1- The BT icon shows in the taskbar, the BT controt panels open, and even in Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Bluetooth Devices, the phone name shows up. And strangely enough, at the bottom of the control panel, when the phone is listed (is discoverable), it shows "Paired: Yes", "Authenticated: No", attached image shows these values.
I'm stumped. Where do I lookup, set or change the T61's Bluetooth passkey?

Unfortunately that is not working. I've tried 0000, 000000, 00000000, 1234, and 123456 as the keys. No popups, no response whatsoever on the T61.
The devices seem to wait some timeout period and then a message "cannot connect to T61...". I don't have the exact message here in front of me, but can get it if need be.

I cannot find the "set up synch" button on my Windows 7 PC although I have changed the toolbar as per instruction and took the check off ofthe term "menu bar".

the only item that pertains are the words "synch now" appear on the toolbar but they do not appear to be operational.
Where will I find the "set up synch" on the toolbar when the "menu" bar is unchecked

Anything helpful in the Sync log?

SharePoint 2013 - Document Set Capture Version History. Does each version captured for each document set keep a copy of all the document stored in the document set?

Hi All,
We have currently encountered an issue where even though version control is turned on in a document library, changes made to the metadata of a document set is not tracked in a version history.
We have found that in order to this a user will need to manually click on the capture version history button.
With this in mind, we are concerned about the impact of this on our storage. The question we have been trying to answer is whether each document set version:
stores the change in metadata of the document set and a copy of all the documents stored in the document set
stores the change in metadata of the document set and a reference to the documents stored in the document set (making use of SharePoint 2013's shredded storage)
The reason we ask this is that if a document set version stores a copy of all the document stored in a document set, a change in one of the fields in the document set could result in the storage used to grow exponentially. e.g. if the document set contains
documents totaling 30MB, and if we have 10 versions of the document set, we could take up 300 MB in the content database for just one document set.
We have tried to some searching around Google but wasn't able to find any answers around this question. Would appreciate some assistance from anyone who has knowledge around how document set version history works.
Thanks in advance.
John

i had a long thing written out, but submit failed. suffice to say it does "2". it only stores the changes with pointers to the documents.

How to set local file copy buffer size?

Is there any sysctl parameter or any other mechanism to set or change file copy buffer sizes? I'm backing up a huge number of files to a local hard drive connected by firewire, and I'd like to play with file copy buffer sizes for the best performance. The machine used is a new macbook pro running OS-X 10.6.7. Any ideas?

Here is a bash script that uses the dd command to copy a file. Use the -b option to set the file size.
example:
/Users/mac/config/forumcopy.command -vb 4096 /Applications\ $Mac\ OS\ 9$/Civilization\ II/Civ\ II\ Map\ Editor /Applications\ $Mac\ OS\ 9$/Civilization\ II/Civ\ II\ Map\ Editorv8
I haven't tested this a lot.
Of course, I haven't figured out how best to post code. Trying HTML mode. Using the <pre> tag.
#!/bin/bash
# macteracopy [ -b blocksize ] [-v ] [-V ] input_file output_file
# Purpose of this script:
# Copy a file with optional block size. Default size of 4096.
# Notes:
# chmod u+x macteracopy
# You may have to restart the finder to notice a customized file icon.

Sort order changes when copying found items

When I search for items in a library, they show up in the "show search results" window in the right order. But when I copy them to Pages, the sort order is changed. Any idea how to get them to copy in the correct order?

If you have other thoughts, I'd appreciate knowing about them, otherwise, thanks for the suggestion.
If I look in iCal, I can see nowhere to override the system level setting for the locale which is in System Preferences > International. Rightly or wrongly, I would conclude that iCal takes its locale from the International control panel.
Apple Pages does have an independent user interface for overriding the system level setting of the locale. This interface is in the Text Inspector > Language. But I am not aware that anyone has developed technical documentation for how this interface behaves.
The expected behaviour would be that if for a selected character string the user changes the language identifier from the system and document default to some other language identifier, then the sort order for that selected character string changes.
I discussed with Thomas Gewecke whether the user interface for language identification might not be made more explicit per standards. Not all 23 writing systems and 3 world scripts of the EU are included in the interface for language identification, but Deutsch is.
Try to tinker a bit with the controls in the International panel and the controls in the Text Inspector to see if you can find a setting that works. Whether software behaves as standards and specifications entitle one to expect is often a matter of trial and error.

"Type your password to allow Finder to make changes."
Why am I being prompted to do this 100% more often than I was in 10.5.x? It's been happening a lot when I move files from one folder into another.

I see this happen on occasion when moving files from a network drive or other computer. The files and folders don't have the proper permissions as I'm not the owner of the files. I usually put all the transferred files into a folder, get info and change the permissions to Read/Write and click on the gear icon to change the permissions to the same settings for all of the enclosed files and folders. This requires me to type the password once for all those files.
Where are the files coming from that you are trying to move?
You are awesome! That is exactly what I was doing. I had copied a folder from a network drive to install some files. Then I tried to delete the folder after the install. I was prompted with the message in this thread. I checked permissions and I did not have read/write privileges even though I was logged in as the admin both when copying and deleting. Thanks!

Migration Assistant/ Set-up Assistant/ Copy and Paste/ Other?

Hello Wise Ones,
I have just installed a new HD and am wondering how to transfer my old files, a sparsebundle/image, from an external HD to this brand spanking new HD.
For context,
1) Acquired an external HD.
2) Saved a File Vaulted account onto that HD (Western Digital HD; used WD Smartware).
3) Upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard.
4) Time Machine backs up the information of Guest account but not the main account, the Filevaulted account.
5) Rigamarole follows, but sparsebundle/image becomes mountable and files accessible.
6) Internal HD fails.
7) New Internal HD installed just yesterday.
8) Migration Assistant restores the Guest account files. But the sparsebundle/image is not an option.
So, as it stands now I have two accounts on the computer: the newly created account and the migrated old (Guest) account. I seem to have all of the programs I think I should have. But, as you might imagine, my Documents, Movies. Pictures etc folders are empty.
The external HD shows me all of my created files. So, if need be I can just copy and paste those Documents, Movies, Pictures, Desktop folders, yes? (Alas, Migration Assistant doesn't -- um, pickup, recognize -- that sparsebundle/image.)
But what of the inner workings? Most notably, what of a Library folder. I see it there on my sparsebundle/image. It appears to be on the same tier as the Documents, Desktop, Movies folders. Meaning, I'm guessing that this Library folder is personal to this account, not to the computer as a whole. Therefore, if I select my account found on the new HD and find its Library folder, and then paste over it with this sparsebundle/image Library folder then all will be okay? Thus I'll have all of my mail messages/inboxes and all of my Safari Bookmarks and other goodies?
So, um, the best way to proceed? Migration Assistant; Set-up Assistant; Copy/Paste; or other?
Thanks again for your insights and patience.
Lex
P.S. Would it matter that the the sparsebundle/image folder has an account name that is different than the name for this new drive and this new personal account? So, damaged HD was named Lexy. But sparsebundle/image account has the name Lex. With this new HD the HD is named, Smith and the personal account is named LexSmith.

Not sure about the File Vault password protected thing is the problem with migrating. If you have room on the drive, try opening up the image and copy the user account from the image file straight to the drive itself, thereby eliminating the use of the image. Then try the migration.
Other than that, I can only suggest manually copying the files from each folder to your new user folder.
If it's your whole user account and it's a different name than the user account on the new computer, you might try to copy the whole user account over to the user folder and then see if you can switch user to that account.
