How do I reset my music folder permissions to default?

There is something very strange going on with my music folder. All I want to do is re-organize my folder in the following format:
/Music/Artist/Album Name/Tracks.mp3
However, when I try and drag a song into an "artist" folder, Finder asks me for my password, and it will continue asking for my password each and every time I drag anything.
These are my permissions:
deathstar-3:~ jake$ ls -al ~
drwx---r-x+ 3671 jake staff 124814 Oct 14 01:09 Music
What is wrong here? If "drwx" are the attributes that belong to the owner (me), and I am logged-in as the owner, why do I have to enter my password every time I want to copy or move something? Thanks a bunch for any assitance in advance!!!

this is in the arrange window. everytime i change the key commands to what i want and export and save the presets they disappear when i close logic and open it up again.
The side arrows go to next region and then go to next event and then selection end. It does like 3 different things its completely possessed!
I need to reset it to the way it came initially where the side arrows do fast rewind/forward and up and down do rewind/forward.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

I've update my music using an external disk; now I uploaded agin the music but it doesn't appear in Itunes. How can I synchronize the music folder with Itunes?

I've managed my music downloading and uploading it from an external disk; I put the music into the Finder MUSIC folder and copyed it into Itubìnes but it does't appear. What Do I have to do? How can I synchronize the Musice Folder with Itunes?

Chris, thanks for the reply.
That's what I'm confused about. I did exactly what you said. I copied the entire music folder from the old computer and put it in the music folder on the new computer. I've tried that two or three times now. And, I've checked, and all of the files are there (that's what I meant by 'clicking on Itunes Media'--when I click on the iTunes media folder in music/itunes in Finder, all of the files are there). But, when I open iTunes, nothing shows up--no movies, no music, no tv shows. It seems like it should be so simple, but it won't work for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much.

All my programs are opening in adobe even the system restore and the regisrty - how do I reset all programs to their originall default programs. Please help

all my programs are opening in adobe even the system restore and the regisrty -
how do I reset all programs to their originall default programs.
Please help.
PS I have also tried starting in save mode and still have the same problem.

Hi,
As
BurrWalnut mentioned, first please run a virus scan to eliminate virus infection (if AV program is not opened in adobe)
The files association could be corrupted in your situation, apart from the solution posted in the first reply, I also suggest you check Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set your Default Programs or Associate a file type or protocol
with a progra,, manually check the association and check if it can do some help.
Add: another way to open restore point is launching it in recovery console, please refer to this guide

How can I reset my Network Card to the default?

How can I reset my Network Card to the default? I suspect I have a virus, (antivirus software has been unable to decect or remove). What happeneds is that my iMac keeps getting pointed to a proxy. I remove it and with in a day it returns. I only have access to a few sites when under the proxy setting. I want to LOCK DOWN my network settings. When I manually set everything back to default my machine works like new... but within a day or so it will be back to being jacked up.
2nd question : Anyone have a sugestion on a good anti virus with my case in mind??? (im using iAntivirus and I think it is useless)
Dr. N

I'm a bit unclear on what you're seeing, but it's undoubtedly a problem with your network itself. There is no known Mac malware that behaves anything close to what you're describing, so anti-virus software is not going to do you any good. (And you're right that iAntivirus is useless.)
If you're seeing redirects or similar behavior in your web browser, see Eliminating browser redirects and advertisements.
If that's not it, please try to describe in detail the behavior you're seeing.

How can I move iTunes music folder to another drive?

I have iTunes version 7.1 running on a notebook with Windows Vista. My iTunes music folder is becoming too large for the C; drive and I am having problems successfully moving it to the D: drive.
I know the folder is in the D: drive because I can see it there. I have followed guidance on how to link it to iTunes: Edit / Preferences / Advanced / General / Change (choosing iTunes music folder on the D: drive) / OK. I have also ticked the "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" box, as well as the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" box. Nevertheless, when I open iTunes my music does not appear in the library.
What am I doing wrong?

Firstly there is more than one kind of iTunes Library file:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
Secondly you should consolidate your library:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.3/en/670x.html
The following link will give you the instructions to move iTunes to an EHD. These instructions need to be followed EXACTLY.
The 2 metadata files within the main iTunes folder must stay on the main drive of your system as that is their "home", they can't be moved.
Now read this:

How do I move my music folder it into the iTunes folder?

Before I had an iPod all my music was in the My Music folder. When I started using an iPod and iTunes I left all my music in the My Music folder. I have been reading how to back up or move my music and I see my setup is not a good one.
I want to correct my setup by getting all my music into the iTunes folder. How do I do this the right way? Once I do this will all my music, art, play lists, and ratings be together so they all get backed up and/or can be move to an external drive?
My Music folder is about 60 gb and the free space on my hard drive is about 17 gb.

ERROR You do not have enough access privileges / Music Folder Permissions

OS...W XP iTunes 7.6.2.9 HP. Classic 60 GB HP iPod. I have this error when I try to import some CD's. Am trying to import a brand new cd I just bought and error reads...
*"Error occured while converting the file "Large Time" ( or whatever the 1st songs name may be). You do not have enough ACCESS PRIVILEGES for this operation.*
iTunes could not save your music folder because you do not have write access. Check permissions on your Music folder and folders in your Music Folder, then try converting this file again".
Well I've tried every way I can think to check the permissions and am clueless. I do know that after going through my pc settings for folders, that after some time, I was able to save the last playlist and sync it. I've no idea why, but I do know I have this problem frequently. And it's BAaaaack.
If you find or have the answer please post...ty. MP3 players seem more user friendly, using WMP, but this iPod was more for the money.

How to delete tracks from Music Folder?

After selecting all of the tracks of one of my iTunes playlists, i.e., an album, and clicking Option + Delete to move them to the Trash, I accidentally clicked Enter and, by default, selected the "Keep Files" option instead of the "Move to Trash" option in the "Do you want to move the selected songs to the Trash, or keep them in the iTunes Music folder?" dialogue box. I went to Home > Music folder > iTunes folder > iTunes Music folder > the folder of the album artist, but I do not see the folder of the album in the artist folder. How can I find these tracks so that I can send them to the Trash as intended?
Thanks,
Paul

After performing a (Finder) Find for .aif files, I located the tracks and was able to delete the playlist (album) folder with the tracks. So no assistance needed after all.
However, inexplicably, the folder with the tracks to be deleted was located in iTunes Music folder > Compilations folder, rather than in the artist folder. After finding and moving the folder of the tracks to the Trash, I checked the info of the original CD in iTunes out of curiosity and discovered that "Part of a compilation" was checked for the tracks, even though this is not a compilation (or even a live) album. I assume this sort of...tagging, I guess...was originally imbedded in the CD and is not a result of any glitch in iTunes. In fact, in the Compilations folder, I noticed several albums which are not compilation albums. I'd appreciate any thoughts or explanations as to why some non-compilation albums are checked as compilation albums.
Thanks,

How Can I Stop My Music Folder From Being Created...

I have installed and successfully migrated my iTunes to a NAS...the problem is that everytime I start iTunes it recreates the My Music folder on my local hard drive...as (a) I no longer need or want this folder and (b) I find it both annoying and potentially confusing that ut appears, is there any way to stop it from being recreated time after time...
Thanks so much...

Must be missing something in description. My Music folder is from Windows not iTunes. iTunes places its content in iTunes folder inside My Music folder. As for not using the folder I don't think you can. The iTunes library file(itl, xml) are put into iTunes folder inside My Music folder.

How can i reset all bean properties to their default state.

I have a bean which i am using to store data throughout a users session until the data is extracted from the bean and put into the database at the last stage. What i would like to know is how i can reset all of my bean properties? I understand that i could go through each String property and sets its value to "" or null but there must bea an easier way. does anyone have any idea how to do this?
Suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You can implement your own reset option (one methode that goes though and manually sets everything back to its original state) or you can dispose of the bean and create a new one.

Global reset of file / folder permissions on a USB Drive

I just migrated to a new MB Pro. I now have an issue with file permissions on my USB drive that I use for Time Machine and some other external data. I understand (sort of) why the permissions are messed up, because you're forced to come up with a new user name when you migrate your data and applications. That being said, I just want to globally reset / update the permissions on my USB drive and it's data so that I'm the owner; and I can read and write. And I want to save all my data.
I've started this process going from the "get information" screen, so I think I know how. But it's been running forever. Isn't there some type of universal setting for a drive or does it just need to crunch thru every single file and directory?

Whatever you've done already it's the wrong thing to do. You cannot arbitrarily change permissions on every file on your backup using the Get Info window. The result will be a complete screwup of all the file permissions on your backup. You will manage to make a simple problem into an unsolvable one.
Next time you should ask first before you act rather than after when you cannot go back. Since you did this to your TM backup drive about all you can do at this point is erase the drive and start your TM backups from scratch. Of course this doesn't resolve anything for whatever you tried to migrate to your new computer.
If you migrated your old Home folder to the new computer then first be sure the account has admin status, then log into the account. You should then have full access to all your restored files. You can then delete the other user account.

Print Failure: How Do I Reset the CUPS folder?

HP support says the problem with my 4 mo old laser printer is Apple’s cups folder and that it needs to be rest. Can anyone explain this to me and give me directions? Verbiage from the back and forth with HP is below. Thank you very much!!!
HP Reply #2
Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
If you have already reset the printing system manually with the
instructions that we have provided to you then I would recommend
contacting Apple as it is likely that the cups folder needs to be reset.
If the manual reset did not resolve it then it will need this folder to
be reset in the terminal and only Apple can direct you within the
terminal on your Macintosh.
This should resolve the issue.
Sincerely,
Michelle

Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately, what you suggest is basically what I had already done as detailed in my initial e-mail to you. Just to be sure, however, I did it again, exactly as you suggested, with the same non-results. The printer is on my USB chain: It shows up in Printer Browser, but it cannot seem to find the drivers it needs. Any help you can provide would be most appreciated! Thank you!

My Request
Hi. I had a system crash yesterday and now cannot get my printer to work. It worked superbly up to this point. OS 10.4.10. 1.6 GHz PPC G5 with 1GB factory RAM. HP LaserJet 1022 installed April 2007.
Ran Software Update and all is up to date. Ran Applejack multiple times. Uninstalled HP LJ 1022 drivers per article on your WEB site. Reinstalled HP LJ 1022 drivers from LJ1022_SeriesOSX.dmg which, when unpacked, led to hp LaserJet 1020 Series.pkg v 1.2.0 (modified 4/27/06 9:23 AM). This takes 10-15 minutes, but eventually completes successfully. I then go to Printer Setup Utility v 4.7 (161.10) and attempt to pick my LaserJet 1022 (I can send you a Grab screen capture (TIFF) if you like). I am able to see the 1022 with USB listed as the connection, and the name at the bottom of the screen reads HP LaserJet 1022 and right under it the location is r-mymac. However, the spinning icon goes for many minutes while it looks for drivers, and eventually stops. If I use the Print Using bar and choose HP, I get a zillion HP options, but can’t find the correct hp LaserJet 1022 option. Of note, the HP 1022 does show up in About this Mac under the USB window. Thus, I’m unable to print. Any help would be greatly appreciated| Thank you very much.

Thanks for posting and sharing your knowledge!
Unfortunately, this didn't work. I went to the Printer Setup Utility Finder menu and hit "Reset Printing System" several times. Then I followed thee HP uninstall and then did reset:

Thanks again.

My Ipod touch wont let me add or take off music. How can i reset my music and everything else without deleting any app data?

It wont let me take any music off and in Itunes it says that I only have 40 songs that are on my cloud. But my Ipod says i have 1400 songs on my ipod and lets me play them all. I dont understand what i should do but i dont want to do a factory reset, that is the last thing i want to do. If you have any suggestions that would be great. Thank you

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Otherwise:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
