Help with a cd read only Error Please

I am trying to copy a Turbotax PDF file to a CD-R cd. When I drag it over from the desk top or try to save it to the cd or do a save as PDF from Turbo tax I get the error that the CD is read only. I have already saved something on it. I have tried to go into the finder and change it to read-write but i can not do that even after unlocking it. Can anyone help me learn how to make the CD to a writable cd so I can save the PDF file ? thank you very much

Hi, CDs once written to, will be Read only, even CD=RWs, unless you recorded as a Seesion.

Help with istat temperature reading on macbook please :)

Hey all.
I just dowloaded the IStat widget because i had read about it on the forum. I have noticed over the past day or so my temperature readings are consistantly in the 150's (farenheit) range. There was on point when it was in the 90's range. I am not familiar with how hot the computer should be running, but this seems awfully high. I always have my macbook on a desk or table of some sort with nothing blocking the fan. The fan is at 1799rpm right now. Sort of confused with what this all could mean. Is this or could this be a problem if the computer keeps running so hot?? This laptop is 2 months old. Thank you in advance!

My MacBook regularly gets that hot.

Acrobat read-only error message

http://forums.adobe.com/message/4117896
Hello I am following on from a previously reported issue.
We have a client who are using Adobe Acrobat 9 and have .PDF's saved in a Share Folder. Is the creator of the document but is still faced with the read only prompt when trying to save the document after making an edit (e.g rotating). Upgrading to Adobe Acrobat 9 isn't an option.
Folder permissions in both Share and NTFS is okay.
User's profile has full control of the folder it is being saved in. I've also ensured the reading pane is Windows Explorer is off when they're opening it.
Have run a repair on Adobe Acrobat 9 and tried with other documents with the same result.
Saving locally does not have the same issue.
Please advise a solution for using .PDF for Adobe Acrobat 9 in a Share Folder environment.
Server is SBS2008 and user's PC is Windows 7 Professional.
Eagerly await a fix.

I am having the same issue. Acrobat X was working fine for me for months, then out of the blue, it starts having this problem TODAY! (There must be something about the month of November when people have this problem with Acrobat! )
Each time I open a PDF file in Acrobat and make an edit, (such as highlighting text or adding a link to a web page), I cannot save the file by the same name. I get the "read only" error message:
"The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
I installed the latest updates for Acrobat after this problem occurred, but the "read only" error message persists. In a previous thread, one person suggested turning off Acrobat's Protected Mode by going to Edit/Preferences/General and unchecking the Enable Protected Mode At Startup. I do not see this option in Acrobat X.
The only work-around I've found is to save the PDF file with a temporary name, then after making the edits in Acrobat, save the file as the original name that you wanted the file to be in the first place.
I'd rather not have to mess with work-arounds. I just want to make this problem go away. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Read only error after instalation

I was using the Arch 0.7 beta2 build for a while and everything was, more or less, fine, I finally decited to update to 0.7 and now after I install I get a buch or "filesystem is read-only" errors and then it frezes when starting hotplug, I love Arch, the philosophy is what I have been looking for, I hope someone can help, Even Gentoo can't muster the speed!

you can start with disable hotplug,
you should also use udev instead if devfs, just edit your menu.lst(devfs=nomount) and your fstab to static naming scheme, (/dev/hdx),
if that not help it could be some form of apm/acpi trouble, there are afew kernel parameters you could try as a workaround for that, can't remeber them in my head right now but i think a popular one is "noapic",

"...the other memory ive been using is memorymaxx 512mb ddr 3200..." If I understood right, your'e actually using both memories at same time so, your'e lucky if it works. We have said thousand times that mixing dif. brand/make/speed memories is a bad idea, most with this Mobo that is very picky about ram. If you want to avoid slowdown problems, stay with only one stick ( the better one ) until you can buy at same time in same store, 2 identical memories to replace the old one.

Read only error message when trying to save updates in Acrobat 10.6.3

Hello
Hopefully I'm missing something obvious here but when I try to edit a PDF in Acrobat 10.6.3 I receive a read only error message, I have been using 'Save As' and tweaking the name each time but this seems to be a clumsy way to go about a simple save.
I am on a network and have read a previous thread that explained Adobe can sometimes be flakey on networks for saving PDFs.
Any suggestion gratefully received.

You may be stuck with copying the files locally and editing and then copying back to the network drive. I am not good with networks, but have noticed posts about network problems over the years -- often focused on specific networks. The solution is typically to deal with the PDFs locally and then copy to the network. In creating PDFs, it seems that some of the results had to do with the TMP folder usage, but I have no clue why.
As far as AA 10.6.3, you must have a cloud version or something. The latest AA is 10.1.7.

Time Machine Read only error launches airport

I have a partitioned external and use Time Machine on an OSX10.5, and SilverKeeper for the OSX10.4.11 Mac. Everything's been fine until yesterday. Backed up the 10.4 machine with the designated partition, drive 'hung', computer crashed. So, now, the partition for the Time Machine computer doesn't work, the MAC Silverkeeper appears fine and I get the "Time Machine Read only error" on the MacB Pro 10.5. I can "read/write" for the other partitioned, can verify and repair. No go to repair the "Time Machine" partition. And here's the best part: If I choose "NONE" in Time Machine Preferences to unchoose that particular drive, The computer launches the Airport Express Utility and offers my Airport express as a choice for a drive. What's up with that?

Time Machine read only error & dissapears

I have been running time machine on a MacBookPro MacOS x 10.5.8 for 2 years.
Last week for the first time I got the "External Drive is Read Only" error. I followed the instructions in Troubleshooting on verify and repair but it didn't work (details below). I bought a new external drive configured for MAC OS Extended Journaled format and it worked for 5 days before giving me the same error and the same problems reported on verify. I don't want to use the install disk again because it didn't work last time (and it is 10.4.9 not Leopard - I upgraded by download).
I am at my wits end here. Given that the problem occurred on two different external drives I suspect a problem with my OS.
Details of errors (more or less the same both times):
Time Machine Error - Time Machine "Backup volume is read only"
Finder initially showed that the back up folder was read/write for my user ID and the drive was read/write for the system (not sure because the drive now doesn't appear in finder or in Time Machine ("storage location cannot be found" message)
Disk Utilities: Repair disk option was unavailable Verify disk was available
Verify disk showed a lot error messages including a lot in red: e.g. "Incorrect number of directory hard links" "Incorrect number of threads" "Invalid Directory Item Count" "Invalid volume file count" - on the second drive (not the first) it could not complete the verify - error message Verify disk failed: Error: 'Filesystem verify or repair failed.'
Repair disk was available on the Installation disk (10.4.9) - I ran it on the first external drive but it could not repair ANY of the errors. I haven't tried to run it on the second drive

I upgraded to Leopard by going to the Apple site and purchasing the upgrade from there. It was a download.
I never heard of that. I've always been told that OSX isn't available that way. (It must have been a massive download!)
I will try Apple support but I am in Australia and it can take a while for things to get here.
Yes, but if you ever have to reload, or even do a +*Repair Disk+* on your boot drive, you'll need it.
The Disk utility is v 11.1 (252.4) dated 2007.
Yes, that's the right one (I was afraid you had a Tiger version).
I did not format the second drive myself. I purchased it as a Mac only external drive. I checked the format before and in Disk utility - it is definitely Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in both the disk and the partition. The Partition Map Scheme is "Apple Partition Map" which is supposed to be alright for an intel machine (which mine is). Should I change it to GUID?
No, that's fine for TM. Only if you want to install OSX on it do you really need GUID. It's likely not a problem here, but most drives come with various software from the makers, often backup and/or management apps. On occasion, some will be running occasionally or constantly, interfering with TM or other things. That's why we usually recommend that a new drive be erased and reformatted.
I did format the first drive myself before I used it. My memory of how I set it up is a little fuzzy but it worked for a long time. After the Time Machine failure, the Disk Utilities showed different format for the drive and the partition - which bothered me a little and was one of the reasons I bought a new drive. I was thinking about reformatting the drive but now I won't until I know what has gone wrong.
That could have been part of the problem with the first one, but it's doubtful.
So what do we do now?
I don't recall hearing that DU wouldn't even offer +*Repair Disk+* on a drive it could recognize. But if DU won't repair the file system, and you don't have +Disk Warrior+ or other such apps, your only choice is to erase it and let TM start over. In this case, it's probably worth the time to see if DU can write to the entire disk.
Select the top line of the drive, then click the Erase tab. Then click +Security Options+ at the bottom, then +Zero Out Disk+ and OK on the next screen, then confirm.
That will, of course, take quite a while. If it fails, the disk is toast. But it should be covered by warranty, at least.
If the zero-out succeeds, it doesn't necessarily mean the disk is good, but since it's new, it probably is. TM will, of course, do a new, full backup, which will also take a while.
What sort of disk is this? LaCie had a run of bad power supplies lately (your symptoms don't seem to be the same, though), and WD has some firmware updates. You might want to check with the maker for driver and/or firmware updates.

Time Machine "read-only" error across multiple drives

Hello,
I've been having an ongoing problem for more than a year now. I continually get a "read-only" error message from Time Machine. To be specific, the message is: "Time Machine could not complete the backup. Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only. You may need to repair or reformat the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can’t be repaired, you must use a different disk for backups. Open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk."
The problem is, this has happened with three separate backup drives. They are all G-Tech 2TB 4th Generation G-Drive external hard drives. So I'm wondering if there may be a Mac OS software problem, or perhaps a hardware problem.
There's a lot to this story, so if you're game, read on.
First, about a year ago, I noticed that my Mac Pro frequently spontaneously ejected the backup drive, for no apparent reason. I didn't deal with the problem right away because I was having other, pressing troubles with my display (which took forever to solve).
In early-mid 2013, I tried a few disk repairs of my backup disk, as well as erasing the disk (and correctly formatting as Mac OS Extended Journaled). The disk was failing to mount at that point, so G-Tech sent me a replacement drive (a refurbished drive of exactly the same type).
With the replacement drive, I was getting the same "read-only" message. So I tried a few times erasing/reformatting/repartitioning this drive. No luck.
So I was sent yet another replacement drive. I experienced the same problems, and in addtion, I once got a message saying the backup drive was full when it actually wasn't. So I tried a) using a different firewire cable, b) using this different cable on a different port. Same problems.
In the meantime, I did some backups with an old Glyph drive, using the same FW800 port, and the same cable (the 2nd cable), and I had no problems. The reason I don't use this Glyph drive as my normal backup drive is that it is only 500 GB and not large enough to back up all three of my MP internal drives.
A couple other items of note: back in August of 2013, one of my MP's internal hard drives had to be replaced (it was determined to be having multiple input/output errors). Also, I've had a intermittent problem with the MP spontaneoulsy ejecting a couple different Lexar USB flash drives, even after I reformatted them repeatedly (but this has never happened with my ADATA flash drives). I suppose these things may be unrelated, but for the sake of completeness, I thought I'd include them.
So it seems like maybe it's a compatibility issue the G-Tech Drives? I'd be surprised...but I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

My boss cannot create a new subfolder by pressing "new folder" until he's already saved the file to his desktop. A "read only" error appears the first time. Is there a way to create and save to subfolder directly? It's Mavericks/Macbook Pro

Hi, when my boss wants to save a new file in a new subfolder, he presses "new folder" but cannot create a new one because a “read only” error box appears. Once he saves the file to his Desktop he clicks on “save as” again and then he can create a new subfolder by pressing “new folder.” Is there a way to create and save to a subfolder directly without having to first save somewhere else?

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Help with opening Adobe Reader and downloading updates

I can not open Adobe .pdf files any longer (this started yesterday, prior to that I could open adobe files).
When I double click a .pdf file I get this notice on my screen: Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access file.
So I went to the Adobe download site to download a new copy of Adobe. When I start the download I get this on the screen: The instruction at "0x0e3a0068" referenced memory at "0x0e3a0068." The memory could not be written. Then two options are listed: click OK to terminate or cancel to debug. So I click on cancel and I get this on my screen: Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer. A malfunctioning or malicious addon has caused I.E. to close this webpage.
I don't have AVG running, I do have avast but I've disabled it. I ran Registry Mechanic and an I.E. erasure program but nothing helps.
I have gone into I.E. and reduced the security level to its lowest state but no joy.
So, any ideas or suggestions on what's the problem and how to overcome it would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance, for your reply. Jim R.

Hi Mike..tried that as well but no joy. A friend of mine was looking at it all and noticed that it was an I.E. thing as far as not letting me redownload the reader so I went to Mozilla Firefox and I could download a new version but....whenever I attempt to open a .pdf file I get that message, "Windows can not open the specified device, path or file. You man not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
Damn...this is irritating as I need to get to some of thos files as I need them for a Journal I'm working on as editor-in-chief.
It all worked just fine last Saturday but starting Monday when I was on my flight out to D.C. no joy.
Sigh...Jim R.
