How to fix folder security

folder does not have proper security settings--how do you fix it?

Parallels no longer users the Transporter application so its startup item should be removed. I don't know why you have the .DS_Store file in that folder nor why it is being detected as a startup item. It's an invisible file that you can easily remove by opening the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and doing the following:
At the command prompt enter:
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/.DS_Store
Press RETURN. You will be asked to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
As an additional precaution you may do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

    hi all,
    can somone help me how to resolve the error "javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: SOAP Security Header UsernameToken is required for operation" when i run a client.
    i got a WSDL and using wsdl2java i generated the stubs
    Here is my client code
    public final class LiteratureClient {
         public final static QName SERVICE = new QName("http://siebel.com/asi/",
                   "Literature");
         public final static URL WSDL_LOCATION;
         private LiteratureClient() {
         static {

              try {
                   url = new URL(
                             "file:c:\\reprintwsdl\\http___siebel.com_asi__Literature17.WSDL");
              } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                   System.err
                             .println("Can not initialize the default wsdl from file:http___siebel.com_asi__Literature17.WSDL");

              Client cxfClient = ClientProxy.getClient(port);
              cxfClient.getInInterceptors().add(new LoggingInInterceptor());
              cxfClient.getOutInterceptors().add(new LoggingOutInterceptor());
              cxfClient.getOutInterceptors().add(new SiebelPasswordInterceptor());
              com.siebel.xml.literatureio.iterature inputObj = new com.siebel.xml.literatureio.lterature();

              com.siebel.xml.iteratureio.ListOfliteratureio list = new com.siebel.xml.iteratureio.ListOfliteratureio();
              list.getLiterature().add(inputObj);
              input.setListOfliteratureio(list);
              LiteratureQueryByIdOutput output = obj.getDefault().LiteratureQueryById(input);
    This is the interceptor which i added to the client before performing the query operation

    I did add this interceptor as out interceptor to my client but for some reason the header is not getting added to the request . can someone pls. help me in troubleshooting this issue.
    Thank you

    The problem is in <form action="http://www.eastsidestudios.com.au/FormProcessv2.aspx?WebFormID=42582&O ID={module_oid}&amp;OTYPE={module_otype}&amp;EID={module_eid}&amp;CID={mo dule_cid}"
    You have to remove http://www.eastsidestudios.com.au from the action URL and make it relative:

    Security Update 2012-001 Bricks Rosetta programs
    I've outlined the restore proceedure here, it covers a lot of bases and explains what is going to occur so please don't be intimidated it's a LOT easier that it appears.
    Take your time and comprehend the steps involved and you'll be backup up like before in short order.
    Restore method.
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    If you get a gray screen or some other hangup upon booting, try holding the Shift key down while booting to enter Safe Mode.
    Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
    Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
    #2 Try Restoring from a TimeMachine or hold option bootable clone
    If you have TimeMachine drive, or a hold the option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from before the Security Update occured.
    Obviously if you didn't make a recent backup before the update, your going to have to skip to Step #3.
    Note: A TM restore can take a awfully long time, a clone restore takes under 2 hours in most cases.
    If you don't know how to restore from TM drive

    #3 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    If no recent TM or bootable clone then:
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk and Permissions of your internal drive  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    Note: If Disk Uitlity can't repair the drive, then come back to seek further assistance and make sure you have a copy of your data off the machine.
    #4 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #5 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason.
    If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

    Note: For most users likley Step #3 and #4 is likley all that is needed to be done.
    That's it really.

    Unverified hacks
    Note: You may see a "hack" for this issue floating around, it has had mixed results as people's software is different.
    You may want to try it, but it's at your own risk. It has worked fast for some and not at all for others, hopefully over time it will work for all.
    The above methods I outline are Apple approved restore methods + based upon experience here and not a quick fix, but are sure to work as Apple recommends such steps themselves.
    If at any time you feel this is beyond your capability, please seek local Mac/PC professional assistance before you lose your data.
    In fact my steps above are very simple, you might want to have a family member or friend perfrom the proceedure in about a hour or two.
    If you don't have any backup, please maintain at least a TM drive, just hook up a new blank external drive and TM will ask you to make a backup, takes some time so let it work.
    If your a bit more skilled, a option bootable clone is much superior than TM drive.
    Good Luck

  • HT1366 How to fix Flashing Folder with Question Mark on Mac

    How to fix Flashing Folder with Question Mark on Mac

    RichardEL is probably correct.  I’ll go through your questions.
    > there is no Mac OS partition, I assume it would be directly underneath the HD on the left?
    I have not seen this particular condition where the hardware disk icon appears but the system volume that is supposed to be below it does not.  The System Disk partition would be below the HD icon indented to the right.  It is usually called “Macintosh HD” unless you renamed it.
    > when I go into disk utility my HD appears on the left, but I can repair or verify it
    Odd.  It appears but you cannot manipulate it with Disk Utility.
    > The S.M.A.R.T status reads verified
    If it did not say Verified then it would indicate a problem.  Saying Verified does not rule out problems but I think it indicates it is still breathing.
    > Is the HD deceased?
    If you booted the Recovery Partition (Boot, Command-R), which it sounds like you did, then at least part of the disk is still breathing.  If it took a long time to boot then that may have been a Network Recovery boot which would indicate the disk is very sick or dead.
    >  [If I] restore from time machine [will] everything will be back as it was before?
    Yes.  That is the beauty of Time Machine.  All your data, applications, and system preferences will be as they were as of the last backup.
    > I was thinking of erasing the HD, would this be of any help or do I just need a new one?
    Given what you reported from the Disk Utility steps you took it is unclear to me if there will be a way to repair the current volume, if you can erase and install from scratch or if you need a new disk.  Before proceeding it may be useful to have an expert at an Apple store look at it for you.  They may be able to revive it without a clean install or new disk.
    As was the case above, it could be a good disk with a bad cable in which case a new disk is not going to help.  To test this you can purchase an inexpensive external enclosure, remove the internal disk, place it in the enclosure, plug it in and then use Boot-Option to attempt to boot from the now external disk.  Here are links to the screwdrivers and enclosure you would need.
    $5 Toolkit: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TOOLKITMHD/
    $22 USB 3.0 enclosure: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ES2.5BU3W/
    If you attempt a clean install, use the Partition tab to repartition the disk, selecting one partition and with “Options…” electing a GUID partition.  Then use the Erase tab, select “Security Options…” and set it to write a single pass of zeros.  This will write to every sector to map out bad blocks.  (If you have an SSD do not write a pass of zeros.)
    If you do need to replace it I recommend an new inexpensive (~$100) and super-fast hybrid SSHD drive that has an 8 GB SSD cache that makes the data fly.  Google “Seagate 1 TB hybrid SSHD”.

    This article has a link for more information on finding your profile directory: [[Fix the "Could not initialize the application's security component" error message]]. On Windows 7, you can try this (either in a Windows Explorer window address bar or from the start menu search box):
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    You may see one folder in there and that's the one you want. If you see more than one, look for the one with the most recently modified files.

  • How do I change security settings on items in Startup items folder in Library

    I just installed pro tools TEN on my Mac OS X 10.6.8  -When I log in I get a pop up message that says items in the startup items folder in library won't open because of incorrect security settings.  Now it has given me separate pop up windows saying that those items have been disabled.
    So my question is:  How do I "Fix" the security settings on the startup items folder so that these items are not disabled.  I don't need them to automatically open every time I log in, but they are obviously part of Pro Tools, and I need them so that Pro Tools performance is not affected.  The items are:
    DigiDesign Loader
    Pace Support
    How do I Fix it so that they are not disabled, but that they only open when they need to open, and don't affect pro tools performance?
    Thanks for the help,
    Tristan

    It could be that it Reader-enabled. Try: File > Save a Copy
    If that's not it, post exactly what it shows for: File > Properties > Security > File Restrictions Summary
