How do I find the owner of a folder/file and change it.

Photoshop will not install license correctly and Adobe is not being much help. The problem seems to be that the Library/preferences/FLEXnet Publisher folder is locked and the Photoshop installer can not write to it. The get info box for the folder says I can read only even though I'm logged in in my admin account and the list at the bottom shows I have read and write. I'm guessing that it may be a folder owner problem (caused by FileMaker since I can see it's data file in there and it is the only one). So can anyone give me terminal commands I can copy and paste into Terminal that will 1) tell me who the current owner is and 2) Change the owner to my admin account to get write permission?

ok. it has some deny delete ACLs and some Time machine created extended attributes. did you by any chance copy this folder from a TM backup via finder?! that would be the only explanation I can think of for presence of those things. you should NEVER copy or do anything with TM backups from finder. TM backups should be accessed via TM interface ONLY. please run the following terminal command
chmod -RN "/library/preferences/flexnet publisher/flexnet"
then see if your problems with this folder go away.

  • HT1267 How do I find the owner of an iphone I have found But there is no contacts or Cell number of the phone that is the phones cell number and the phone has been suspended and you can't get any information on returning it .

    How can I find the owner of a found phone that  must have been reported stolen but all you want to do is find out who the person is that owns the phone. But you have no idea who the person is who stole the phone in the first place but now you only want to give it back to its rightful owner.

    I found a iPhone 5s, and I'm willing to return to the owner ASAP, but it seems that "he" have not turned on "Find my iPhone".
    Could anyone help me get in touch with the owner, that was probably here for the 2014's World Cup?
    I'm a Brazilian Apple user, and got stolen 6 months ago. I'm fully aware of what it is. Please, don't flood me with the obvious. The law here DOES NOT WORK.
    This owner must get it back, even if I must send it overseas.
    Thank you for the support.

    My stepson found an iPod touch with a cracked screen. We would like to find the owner and get it back to them. Anyone have any ideas?

    Contact the local authorities to find out if it has been reported. The serial number is located on the back.
    Are you able to access it and turn it on? If so you may find an email address you can contact.

  • How do I find the tempo of a audio file?

    How do I find the tempo of a imported audio file (stereo track song)
    in Logic Pro 7.

    my way is the old way.
    move your file to the end of the song. (make sure SPL is at the beginning of the region)
    open sample window.
    open tempo list.
    set new tempo and slide the tempo until you see the bar display at the top change position and the down beat of the audio file is underneath the next full bar.
    hope this makes sense.
    you might need to find the next down beat by listening to and then cutting the region at the down beat. that way when you open the saple editor it will be able to see where the down beat is.

  • How do I find the path to a pdf file I have found in Spotlight?

    I downloaded a pdf file, and a few days later couldn't remember where I put it on my HD.I found it easily using spotlight, but that brings up the file as a full pdf in Preview, and I can't see any way of finding the patrent folder, or the path to it, so I can find it again or move it. How do I do that?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    I just found the answer myself - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17196624#17196624 .
    I agree with the comments in that thread - not at all intuitive!

  • HOW DO I FIND THE DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS 8 AUDIO AND VIDEO TO UNINSTALL?

    I NEED TO INSTALL AND UNINSTALL WINDOWS 8 DRIVERS FOR AUDIO AND VIDEO SO THAT I MAY REINSTALL THEM, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO TO FIND THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
    ALSO, IF I PURCHASE THE PROGRAM FOR UPDATING DRIVERS, WILL THAT PROGRAM ALSO INSTALL THE NEW AUDIO/VIDEO DRIVERS AND UNINSTALL THE FORMER ONES SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH SO MANY STEPS BY MYSELF. I FIND THE DIRECTIONS TO DO THIS FOR MYSELF VERY COMPLICATED.

    Hi, I would like to assist you on this matter, however I would need some information from you first.  I see that you are running windows 8. What is the make and model number of the computer that you are using?  The windows 8 that you are using, is it a 32 bit or a 64 bit operating system?  Please write back and I will be happy to do research on this issue.
    Thank you

  • How do I find the tempo of imported audio files?

    I import music tracks from iTunes to record voice/guitar and want to be accurate in the tempo..
    Diego

    GarageBand does not show you the tempo of imported sound files. You have to count it out yourself. If you do not have a utility that will help you count, like Transscribe or Melodyne, cut a section of 8 (or 16) measures out of your recording and then change the tempo of your project, until this section fits exactly 8 or 16 measures in the timeline. This will give you rough idea of the average tempo, but usually your imported audio will have tempo changes, so I'd recommend to fine-tune the tempo locally using the tempo automation curve of the "Master" track.

  • HT4528 i found an apple iphone and i want to find the owner, but it is dead, how can i find the owner?

    i found an i phone at airport and would very much like to get this back to the person, we were in europe for a month and i think it is dead.  how can i return it to them?  i do not want to just hand it in at the provider store, i want to make sure this gets back to the right person.  i am not sure which iphone it is even.

    I would turn it into ATT (then Verizon then Sprint) and let them do the heavy lifting on it.  Besides, they have the "confidential records" you do not have.  Those companies will not simply hold onto it and secretly re-use it, unless the original owner already has a new one and the old one is irrelevant.  At least that is my opinion of how the will deal with it.  You may get to keep it if the original owner says "not interested" -- *maybe*.

  • How do I find the size of a video file in iTunes store?

    Is there any way to find out how big a video file is before I download it to my computer? I see that movies show the file size in the product description, but what about episodes of a TV show? Or a complete season? Or a video in iTunes U?
    I tried "right clicking" (or whatever that's referred to on a Mac, sorry, I just recently got my Mac) to get info on a few files, but it says the size is unavailable. I have an iPod Touch I'd like to get videos for, but I don't have a ton of space after putting all my music on it, so that's why I'd like to know the file sizes in advance.

    You can figure for a 1 hour TV show - about 40-45 minutes of video - you will have a file size of about 450-550 meg.
    A movie such as Pirates of the Carri..... will weigh in around 1.6-1.8 gig.
