How do I change permissions on a volume after migration using OS X installer?
On attached volumes I cannot save files. I recently used OS X migration assistant to move to my new iMac but the volumes that I used on the old system will not allow me to save to them (the os says it's a permissions problem). Short of renaming the new computer the same name as the old one, how to I address this issue?
In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-C, or select
Go ▹ Computer
from the menu bar. A window will open showing all mounted volumes. Select the one in question and open the Info window. What is shown as the Format in the General section?

Hi
One Must NEVER move or alter any folders named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Projects - or - alike
on DESKTOP/FINDER - Ever ! - ONLY Within the iMovie Program ! else all connections are broken and hard to impossibly to mend !
but rather do as described here under
Moving Event's and Project's
Connection - Either connect one Mac in Target mode to the other via FireWire. Or use an external hard disk !
(Target-Mode - Start one Mac e.g. laptop - BUT keep T-key down during full up-start - Now a FW-symbol is jumping around the screen and it will work as an external hard disk when connected to the other Mac)
A. The External Hard Disk - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work for Video. UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things but not for Video whatever program is used (iMovie or FinalCut)
B. Should be a FireWire one as USB/USB2 performs badly to me and especially when filling up
C. Do never Move or Alter any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - as this will result in iMovie losing connections to them and repair can be anything from hard to impossibly
D. Moving and Copying must be done within iMovie application and Events to Events - and - Project's to Project's.
E. Moving Project's to Event's - Do not work for me - I have to export project as a QuickTime movie then Import this into Events.
Event's window can show two faces
Like this
or like this
from one hard disk Event - You can move it to the other hard disk
You can not (at least not me) move Event to Project or other way around only
Event to Event and Project to Project

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.
I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible. -

Hi Michele,
Select the paragraphs where you want to change the spacing.

1 Some of the similar softwares include HoneyBow, honeytrap, honeyC, captureHPC, honeymole, captureBAT, nepenthes.
2 Some of the other hacking softwares include keyloggers. Keyloggers are used for monitoring the keystrokes typed by the user so that we can get the info or passwords one is typing. Some of the keyloggers include remote monitoring capability, it means that we can send the remote file across the network to someone else and then we can monitor the key strokes of that remote pc. Some of the famous keyloggers include win-spy, real-spy, family keylogger and stealth spy.
3 Apart from theses tools mentioned above there are some more tools to include that are deepfreeze, Elcomsoft password cracking tools, Online DFS, StegAlyzer, Log analysis tools such as sawmill, etc. -

How do I change permissions to access a shared file?
My computer has 2 accounts, mine and my wife. She has a folder with photos. When logged in as my wife, I duplicated that folder and moved the copy to the User>Shared folder. When I log in as myself and access the Shared folder I see the copied folder with the photos but I can't open the photos. Get Info shows that I don't have any permissions. How do I change that? Thanks for any help.
OwenSometimes, if you highlight an item and use Get Info (or keyboard
command to generate same item) you can see what user permissions
on a file are; and as the author or superuser of a computer, you may
be able to unlock them or give them a different level of general access.
Since I don't save my images to a specific user account (though my
own computers have two accounts each) these do not have the same
permission issues when used between the accounts; and they are
saved to a file on the hard disk drive accessible to both users directly.
{This is what the Shared folder is supposed to do; but I don't use iPhoto
and so this never comes up as a problem in sharing images or exporting.}
If a user or Admin creates a folder for images, and saves them to the
hard disk drive location, the other user can see and use them; but
when there are different user permissions involved, the files have to
be changed so other users can open them. There should be a way
to make the change on more than one item at a time.
Here is a link to another Apple Discussions thread with some information
which may be of use to you to more streamline the shared folder issue:
Read/Write Permissions for all users...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7944908
Hopefully this helps; if not, consider each person contributing to folders
in a generic folder on the hard disk drive you create yourself; so it will
not be in a Users folder in the first place. You can connect to these by
putting an alias folder on each of the user's desktops or in their Dock.
{You could also work around the issue by making more work for yourself,
in that you can Archive images (save as .zip) images in a folder and
under one user, those tend to not be user-protected from sharing.}

How do I change permissions on many files at once?
Hello!
I recently had a large hard drive crash, and, long story short, I got all my data back but now have a different user account on a new hard drive. The permissions on all the files on the computer are fine.
However, I am a recently graduated film student and use an external drive to edit video. When I tried to open up Final Cut Pro and work on a project, I was told that the program couldn't work because I didn't have "write" access to my scratch drives. I changed the permissions on the relevant folders and can now open the application fine, but can't actually edit because ALL the medi files don't give me full read/write access.
I can change them all one at a time, which requires I enter my password for each one, but this would take a few days of work to complete.
My question is: how can I add my user account with read/write permission to many files at once? I've heard this can be done with Terminal, but I'm not sure how.
Please give me step-by-step instructions if you can! I have never used Terminal before! I am not a techie, but I want to be, and I learn quickly!
My computer specs:
15in Macbook Pro, early 2008.
System 10.5.8In the Finder's Get Info window, under permissions, you can click the little gear icon and set the "Apply to encoded items" flag. Then when you change permissions, it will apply to everything underneath the selected folder.

I attached an external drive to my macbook pro for backup purposes. I found that the device is 'read only' for me. I read that I could change permissions by selecting 'get info' for a item and clicking the lock icon to submit my password. The lock icon is not displayed on any 'info' window for any file on my macbook, much less the attached drive. I am the only user and administrator as far as I know. What steps can I take to change permissions? Thanks. My 1st post.
How can I tell? The 'get info' window has no lock and under sharing and permissions, on says 'you can only read'. I did a get info on the Macintosh HD and it had a lock on it but said I could only read, for what that it worth.

How do I Change Permissions for a UME Role: UME.Manage_Users
I am trying to set up a helpdesk role that will allow a limited number of users to reset passwords and unlock users.
I do not want them to be able to change user data, delete or create users.
I created a user and assigned it the user administration content. I removed all except the search, previous search and locked users options. In the permissions I clicked on yes for the manage_users capability.
However, the manage_users option is set to all by default. How can I change it so they only have reset password and unlock capabilities?Hi,
Mangae_users action in UME is basically for delegated admin's. With this action an user can do all admin activities for the particular company.
If you want to give only password change permission assign the action
UME.Manage_all_user_passwords. With this action an user can view and change all user passwords.
Refer the link below also for more information.

How do you change permissions on Lightroom 4 web export?
I am having issues with my web module on Lightroom 4 (Mac OS 10.9.5). "an unknown error occurred" while trying to upload to my FTP (no changes in my FTP). Bandaid fix was to export to local folder and upload via Filezilla. However, now that is no longer working and although upload completes, the URL takes you to a "Forbidden - do not have permission to read this file" page. Lightroom is changing the permissions of each file to 000 instead of 644 for index files and 755 for all others. How can I change the permissions settings in Lightroom?
I just did an upload directly from Lightroom 5.7.1 using OSx 10.8.5 and Cpanel on the hosting site shows the permissions as 644 for ALL files and 755 for folders. I don't think there was any changes to the web module between Lr 4 and 5. Have you tried using Filezilla to delete all the files on the host and reupload. A few years ago I had the exact same problem and something got changed on the server where some of the file permissions got changed and I had to start over to get things working.
