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.

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.}

How can I change permissions to access network drive

I change Cf user permission for I access and upload my network drive documents(for using a cffile action="upload"). I need to add permission on the network.How change my Cf access my authority.http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Installing/WSf01dbd23413dda0e-2c56ae6b11fae6200 fe-8000.html
I couldn't not to it.This isn't enough information.Could you be helpfull?

The user associated with the service credentials needs to have permission to use the drive in question. You will also have to access the drive using its UNC - \\serverName\serverShareName\directory\...
By default, the CF service uses a local system account as its login credentials. You'll need to change this to an actual user account.

How do I change permissions for the documents and files on my Mac Book Pro after I re-instaalled the HD using a Time Machine back-up?

I had to re-install the HD on my Mac Book Pro. I used a Time Machine back-up for all the apps and files. Most were restored, However, I cannot unlock a number of them. I tried changing the permissions using Get info but it is not working. I am using the latest version of Moutain Lion OSX.

Linc:
Very helpful suggestion and response, Thanks for pointing out that it is a permission issue. I am working through the issue and resolving my problem.

Using iPhoto 09, 8.1.2 How do I re-route saving pictures to the hard drive? Currently am saving to files on 'my' partition, and would like to change to save to a shared file so both partitions can view and access.

Drag the Library from the Pictures folder to the Users/Shared folder. I would point out that folks doing this on 10.6 and later frequently meet permissions issues. You might do better moving it to an appropriately formatted External Disk.

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
Yours Bengt W

How can you change your line access selection? I have found where you can change your plan selection, but can you change the line access fee or is that a set amount?

DIVAB71,
Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive

How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive or external hard drive?

The same way you change it on the internal drive; click on the name and wait a second or two for the field to drop into editing mode, then just type the new name. Or Get Info on the file/folder and change the name there.

How do i change my settings so that a file automatically opens in Office Word

I am using Firefox as my search engine and when I open files it used to ask me if it was ok to open them in Office Word. It used to open them perfectly. I guess I clicked something wrong and now the files open automatically in Microsoft Works Word Processor. How can I change it back to open then files automatically in Office Word?

There are a few different possibilities when Firefox doesn't handle downloads automatically.
First, can you check the Options dialog to make sure Firefox saved your preference?
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
It takes some time for the list to load... then in the search box above the list type '''word''' to filter it down to the entries for Word documents. Do these show that you want to Open with MS Word?
If those check out but Firefox isn't doing it, there are two possibilities:
(1) Website might be using a generic content type header.
Firefox doesn't actually inspect the document or check the file extension. Instead, it relies on the server to send a content type such as "application/msword" to look up the proper handling. If the server just says this is a binary file of non-specific type, then Firefox always prompts you for instructions.
If this is the problem, then you would find that Firefox sometimes handles Word documents correctly and sometimes doesn't depending on the site.
(2) Download handler settings file might be corrupted.
The longer you have Firefox, the more likely that extra lines will creep into this file and potentially cause conflicting instructions. You can rename the file and have Firefox generate a fresh one.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a separate window listing files and folders.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Start Firefox back up again and it should create a new settings file with default settings. Any improvement on the next download or two?

How do I change the length of an audio file?

How do I change the length of an audio file without changing the actual recording?
I want to aligne start and end points to the rest of my project.

Well, yes and no. I have tried the Bounce track in place function, but it did not do what I was after. However, today I got an idea that solved the problem. I copied the region I had punched in several times. Then I used the Bounce track in place function. This made a track that was just as long as all the other tracks. Finally I silenced the audio "clips" that I had used to make the region longer. I have now 24 tracks to transfer to the Alesis HD 24 that starts, and ends, at the exact same point. This will suit the Alesis software just fine, I think.
Thanks for the tips.

   ELSE.
     move I_TEMP to I_FINALTAB.
     append I_FINALTAB.
     clear I_FINALTAB.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
     In the above code we are moving the data form file to i_temp and i_temp to I_FINAL.
Here before moving to i_FINAL.
use TRANSLATE i_temp to UPPSERCASE.
Then move to i_final.
Pls. reward if useful.
