How can I open something as not Read-Only?

Everytime I've opened an Excel (Microsoft for Mac 2011) file today it opens as read-only, and the only way I can save changes is by changing the name of the file, which I don't want to do. I did not have this problem last week when working with the same file. I hit command-I -- I'm listed as read & write and then it said Staff (it's just me -- read-only) -- I just switched it to read & write& did the same for Everyone. Yet it still opened (from the Finder) as Read-Only. Please help me!!
Thanks,
joanne

Try this:
Reset User Permissions and ACLs in Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
From the Utilities menu select Terminal. At the Terminal prompt enter: resetpassword. Press RETURN. When the window opens select your startup drive where it says "Select the volume containing the user account:" At the bottom of the window you will see, "Reset Home folder permissions and ACLs." Click on the Reset button.

How can I make a file not read only? Using LV6.0, I have tried the Access Rights VI w/o luck.

I am talking about any file in windows 98 that has the read only box checked when I look at the properties of the file from Windows Explorer. I can can get rid of the check from the properties box, but I want to do it programmaticaly in LabView.

Hi,
Wire in '448' to the 'New Permissions' of the Access Rights VI. This will set the file as readable, writable and executable. I just tried this (on WinNT, though).
The 'permissions' parameter is a 16-bit integer where the least 9 bits are used. Of these, for Windows, bits 8, 9, and 10 (0-indexed) are important (i.e. if these are set = integer 448). See online Help for full details.
Hope this helps,
Khalid

How can i open file from adobe reader..i already have adobe read

Is the file really a PDF? Where is it? Have you tried opening it from within Reader?

You can't - Adobe Reader will only open PDF files.

How can I find something from Notes that might have been deleted?

How can i use different suffix for read-only and read-write?

I have a directory server with 11.1.1.5,I have created the root dn:o=test.com.cn. This dn is replication enabled and it is the consumer.
I want to create another suffix:ou=test1,o=test.com.cn and I wish to write some data from own.
However,when I use dscc to create the suffix,I can not find any entry under the suffix.
When I use the command:
ldapsearch -b "ou=test1,o=test.com.cn" -s sub "objectclass=*"
I get this:ldap_search:no such object
I can not import any ldif to this suffix.
I get the error:
import test1: WARNING: Skipping entry "uid=jwalker, ou=People, ou=test1,o=test.com.cn" which has no parent, ending at line 280 of file "/opt/dsinst/test1.ldif"
When I use dscc to change the suffix to rootdn,I get the same error too.
How can i do now?
Thank u very much.

There are a few issues here, ie
"uid=jwalker, ou=People, ou=test1,o=test.com.cn" has no parent.
Did you create ou=People, ou=test1,o=test.com.cn before you tried to create above dn?
Also, your suffix naming is very poor and will result in more problems later on especially since you want to create sub suffices.
you should use the DC notation, ie dc=test,dc=com,dc=cn that way you can easily attach o=test1,dc=test,dc=com,dc=cn
This way you would be able to keep your separate suffices inside separate database files and you will have less headaches when you try to replicate and do bulk re-initialisations.

How to check which views are not read only

Hi, I need to run a script in order to get the views that were not created with the read only option. Where can I get that info? It doesn't seem to be in dba_views.
Thanks and regards

Join it with DBA_CONSTRAINTS (CONTRAINT_TYPE = 'O') :
SYS@db102 SQL> select view_name, text from dba_views where owner = 'U1';
VIEW_NAME                      TEXT
V_EMP_RO                       select empno,ename,job from myemp with read only
V_EMP                          select empno,ename from myemp
SYS@db102 SQL> select view_name, decode(constraint_type,'O','RO','RW')
2 from dba_views v, dba_constraints c
3 where v.owner = c.owner(+)
4 and view_name = table_name(+)
5 and v.owner = 'U1';
VIEW_NAME                      DE
V_EMP_RO                       RO
V_EMP                          RW

How can i open a attachment with the fileextension .note sent from an Ipad

A friend of mine sent me an email from his Ipad with an attachment which has the extension .note. How can I open this file on my Mac?

It appears that this extension is related to the ipad app 'notability'. It would have to be exported as a pdf or rtf file to be opened.
You can do some googling, but might be better if the sender converts the file to something more common and sends again.

How can I open an Apple App account for downloading free apps? I will not let me open a new account without a sim card.

I just bought a used 1st Generation Apple iPad 64 GB, 3G. How can I open an Apple App account? I am trying to download a free app and it says I have to have an account, however, everytime I try to set up a new account I can fill only fill out some of the information but then the screen goes black and I cannot proceed with the account. At one point it said "no sim card" and I am not sure where one would go if I had one. Do you need a sim card to download free apps? Why won't it let me set up an Apple Account? Any suggestions?

I can think of no reason at all why you need a sim card to creat an Apple ID. Try this first - reboot the iPad and reset the memory.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Afte the iPad starts up again, follow the directions in this support article - exactly - to creat the account without a credit card.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
IF ... You are signed into another Apple ID on the iPad you will have to sign out of that ID in order to create a new one. Settings>Store - you can sign out there.
You MUST try to download a free app in order to start the process off correctly. If you were using an email address with another ID that you already created, you will have to have another email address to associate the new ID with.

How can i open my iBook on my Mac, not just on my iPhone

Hi,
how can i open my iBook on my Mac, not just on my iPhone? I ask this questions in hopes that I can eventually find a way to have the iPhone read a non "Enhanced" iBook to me.
I used the Accessibility reader for a brief time but it's very persinickety. Move the phone a tiny bit and it threw me out from page 70 and back to page 48. Changing pages when you are in Accessibility is excruciating. Now, I cannot get back there at all.
I downloaded 2 apps that claim they can read to me but the closest I can get in the instructions says I need to open the iBook from my Mac computer with my iPhone connected and then I will be able to open the iBook in the app called "Read text to me". Only when I go to open the book on my Mac it says "This book can’t be viewed using this computer. You can view this book using iBooks on your iOS device."
Thank god, I only have a brain tumor and am not yet completely blind.
I've been to the Apple store twice, checked out a youtube page with all it's comments and I am still nowhere, over the course of a week.
Can anybody help me?
thank you,
Ellen

You cannot.
Ibooks are only for iphone/ipod touch/ipad
So, there are no third party readers/emulators in Mac OS X and Windows to read them from iTunes? I don't even own an iOS device. I just redeemed Action Comics' Superman #1 from Starbucks and iTunes.
This one?
Where the REQUIREMENTS spell out that an iOS device is needed to read it?

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

Anubha,
It worked! Thank you so much.
I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
program...', it worked like a charm.
Again, thank you!
