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 10.5.8

In 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.

  • How do you rename, or change permissions on many files?

    **Note** there are SUDO commands here that can potentially wreck up your system.  If you have questions about this stuff, post in the forum or ask someone verbally to help.  The sudo command can really cause problems if you're not entirely sure what you're doing.
    I had an issue a while ago where I had to rename about 400 pictures all in the same folder.  They were all named by a students PEN #.  I needed an incremental number starting at 001.jpg.  I was hoping to figure out a script either in apple script or in terminal that would do the job.  I called a friend of mine at another school with my problem (he's a windows guy) and he had this great idea.
    First of all, using terminal list all the files.
    The command is simply "ls" without the quotes.
    Select all the files that the ls command outputs and copy it.  (command c)
    Next, open up excel or numbers or any spreadsheet program, select cell B1 and paste the list of files in question.
    When I type SPACE below, I mean hit the space bar. 
    Now comes the fun part.
    In cell A1 type mv SPACE
    In Cell C1 type SPACE
    In Cell D1 type 001
    In Cell E1 type .jpg
    In Cell F1 type the following.
    Fill down each of the columns to the bottom of the list of file names.
    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    F
    G
    mv
    pennumber1.jpg
    001
    .jpg
    =CONCATENATE(A1..E1)
    mv
    pennumber2.jpg
    002
    .jpg
    =CONCATENATE(A2..E2)
    mv
    pennumber3.jpg
    003
    .jpg
    =CONCATENATE(A3..E3)
    mv
    pennumber4.jpg
    004
    .jpg
    =CONCATENATE(A4..E4)
    mv
    pennumber5.jpg
    005
    .jpg
    =CONCATENATE(A5..E5)
    Now Select all of column F and copy it.
    Open up terminal and navigate to the folder that's containing all your files to be renamed.
    Hit paste and press enter.
    This will paste in the contents of each cell in the f column followed by an enter.
    Voila!
    Now, if you wanted to change ownership of a set of folders, you could use the same process. 
    I'm assuming that the folder's that your changing are home folders here.  In other words, the home folder name should be the same as the shortname of your user.
    It might look something like this:
    Navigate to the folder that conains your user folders.  **CAUTION  ----SUDO AHEAD***  This command can BREAK YOUR COMPUTER if you're not careful.
    Type:  sudo -s
    type your password.
    Copy the list of Folders from terminal.
    Paste them into some column way on the right in excel or numbers or whatever.  Maybe column F or something.
    Now, in A1 type chmod SPACE        and fill it down all the way.
    In B1 type -R SPACE         and fill it down all the way
    In C1 type =F1 SPACE       and fill it down all the way
    In D1 type =F1       and fill it down all the way
    In E1 type =CONCATENATE(A1..D1)        and fill it down all the way
    The spreadsheet might look like this:
    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    F
    chmod
    -R
    =F1
    =F1
    =CONCATENATE(A1..D1)
    thor
    chmod
    -R
    =F2
    =F2
    =CONCATENATE(A2..D2)
    incrediblehulk
    Again, just copy and paste column E into terminal and poof!  It should work!
    *Note, it might be a good idea to run a trial on a folder that's not important to you before you start.  These commands you're running can wreck things up pretty good.  So ensure things are set up properly before hand!

    If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document. 
    As Murray said, Flash is dead.  Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

    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

    Adobe Fill & Sign does not yet have a feature to rotate PDF pages but there are several websites that will rotate a PDF for free and then you can bring that PDF with correct orientation into Fill & Sign to fill out.  Any of the top hits when you google "rotate PDF free" will work.

  • How do I change the name of a podcast once submitted to itunes??

    how do I change the name of a podcast once submitted to itunes??
    anyone know? I submitted my first podcast, then changed the name in feedburner. The new name is appearing once you are in the podcast window of my itunes, but not in the itunes store catalog. how do I fix?

    Here's what iTunes Podcaster help says:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html
    Troubleshooting Your Feed
    iTunes should update your listing at least once every 24 hours. If you made changes more than 24 hours ago that are not yet reflected in your iTunes listing, there is a good chance that your feed has broken. When iTunes encounters a broken feed, it ignores the feed and continues to display the old data.
    Here is a set of recommended steps to fix your feed:
    Ping your feed to make sure iTunes has attempted to update your feed recently.
    Review the technical spec, particularly the example feed, to ensure that every detail of your podcast’s feed is supported by iTunes.
    Use a feed validation service like www.feedvalidator.org to check for particular problems. This may be helpful in determining a specific problem with syntax.
    If you used a software- or online-based feed creation service, check to ensure your settings there are correct and iTunes-compliant.
    Subscribe to the feed in iTunes to see if it works. Open iTunes, go to the Advanced menu, choose "Subscribe to podcast..." and enter your feed’s URL.
    Hope this helps - Podcaster's discussion board might have more answers:

  • 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.
    Owen

    Sometimes, 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.}

  • I a owner and administrator. I can't change any file permissions. Help tells me to 'get info' on a file, them click on the lock icon to enter password. The lock icon is not present on any files I 'get info' on. How can I change permissions

    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.

  • Solved - How to take ownership and change permissions for blocked files and folders in Powershell

    Hello,
    I was trying to take ownership & fix permissions on Home Folder/My Documents structures, I ran into the common problem in PowerShell where Set-Acl & Get-Acl return access denied errors. The error occurs because the Administrators have been removed from
    file permissions and do not have ownership of the files,folders/directories. (Assuming all other permissions like SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege have been enabled.
    I was not able to find any information about someone successfully using native PS to resolve the issue.  As I was able to solve the issues surrounding Get-Acl & Set-Acl, I wanted to share the result for those still looking for an answer.
    Question: How do you use only Powershell take ownership and reset permissions for files or folders you do not have permissions or ownership of?
    Problem: 
    Using the default function calls to the object fail for a folder that the administrative account does not have permissions or file ownership. You get the following error for Get-Acl:
    PS C:\> Get-Acl -path F:\testpath\locked
    Get-Acl : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
    + get-acl <<<< -path F:\testpath\locked
    + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-Acl], UnauthorizedAccessException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetAclCommand
    If you create a new ACL and attempt to apply it using Set-Acl, you get:
    PS C:\> Set-Acl -path F:\testpath\locked -AclObject $DirAcl
    Set-Acl : Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
    At line:1 char:8
    + Set-Acl <<<< -path "F:\testpath\locked" -AclObject $DirAcl
    + CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (F:\testpath\locked:String) [Set-Acl], UnauthorizedAccessException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.UnauthorizedAccessException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetAclCommand
    Use of other functions like .GetAccessControl will result in a similar error: "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation."
    How do you replace owner on all subcontainers and objects in Powershell with resorting to external applications like takeown, icacls, Windows Explorer GUI, etc.?
    Tony

    Hello,
    Last, here is the script I used to reset permissions on the "My Documents" tree structure that admins did not have access to:
    Example:  Powershell script to parse a directory of User-owned "My Document" redirection folders and reset permissions.

    #Set-Privilege (new-object Pscx.Interop.TokenPrivilege "SeSecurityPrivilege", $true) #Optional if you want to manage auditing (SACL) on the objects

    I hope you find this useful.
    Thank you,
    Tony
    Final Thought: There are great non-PS tools like
    Set-Acl and takeown which are external to PS & can also do the job wonderfully.  It may be much simpler to call those tools than recreate the wheel in pure

    This is probably really simple but I need a folder action that will alter all added files permissions to R-R-R or alternatively to change the name of the group to "admin"
    The reason for this is because I have been experimenting with setting the global NSUmask so all files are saved to our server as RW-RW-R this is because Photoshop isn't taking any notice of the ACL's and so is making it difficult for different users to work on the same files. My idea is to have a raw image folder that has files saved RW-RW-R via the global unmask and then a folder action to change the permissions when the file gets moved into a Master Image folder

    Oh **** - figured how to do this myself, but realised to only affects files in the folder - not any in sub folders.
    Is there a different way to do this?

  • 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. 

  • How can you change default persmissions saving files

    Mac OS 10.5.8, intel based Mac Pro
    When I save a file it has the permissions RW RW R.  There is another 10.5.8 non-intel Mac Pro then when they save a file to the destop, it is RW R R.  How do you change the default saving permissions?  I want it always to be RW RW W.

    I found it!

    you need to create /etc/launchd-user.conf at noted in the URl above with umask 022 in it.
    BDAqua - Thanks for the reply.  After I created the file and logged out/ back in, I had to change the permissions on the folder also.
