How to gain full access to an external HD

I'm new to mac. My external HD is read only. How can I be able to add/delete files on it?

NTFS is read only in Mac OS. It would have to be reformatted FAT32 if you wanted the drive to be accessible from both Mac and Windows. You can do this on your Mac with Disk Utility. Choose the MS-DOS(FAT) volume format. http://ftp.georgetek.com/George/DiskUtilMS-DOS.png

How to give full access to mailbox to users in trusted domain?

Hi,
I am working on a migration-project where we migrate all users from one domain to a new domain. I have Exchange in both domains, and migrates mailoboxes from the old to the new domain. In the old domain I have a number of mailboxes that are used for common
calendars for the departments. My problem is: How can I give the users who has been migrated to the new domain full access to the existing calendar-mailboxex in the old domain? I have given the accounts in the new domain full access to the mailboxes
in the old domain by using to following command: get-mailbox mailboxname | add-mailboxpermission -accessrights FullAccess,ExternalAccount -user newdomain\username
After the command has completed I can see the account listed in the "Manage Full Access Permission"-dialog, but still the new useraccount cannot create appointments etc in the original calendar from Outlook.
Any tips on this?
Thor-Egil

Hi Thor,
Thank you for your question.
Did the issue occur when we use OWA?
Are there any errors when they cannot create appointments?
We could enable “Support cross forest delegation” on FIM(Forefront Identity Manager) to check if the issue persist.
There is an article for us to how to enable “Support cross forest delegation” by the following link:

How do i deny access to an External Hard Drive while using user switching

Hello,
I have a QuickSilver running Tiger (Leopard upgrade coming when RAM arrives) and have 4 users ( fast user switching enabled). I would like to deny all access to the external hard drives except for the my account on the box.
I have already have gone into the info Sharing & Permissions and only allowed myself to have access, others have "no access" however when I switch user (using fast user switching) they assume ownership of the drives and have access.
Just so you understand the overall direction I would like to go. I'm a photographer and my images are loaded on various external hard drives which is plugged in to the desktop. Family uses the desktop and do not want them to access my work on the external hard drive, however I do need to connect via my laptop to edit images via ethernet which I would obviously enter the admin username and password for the desktop when challenged.
Any ideas???
dsh
P.S. I also changed the permissions via unix to 700 but guess what it doesn't matter! It still assumed the other users ownership upon switch. Does anyone have a proven solution?

When you Get Info on the Drives, who is the owner of the Drives? What exactly are the permissions? Do all of the other users use an admin account? You might have to chmod the root user of the drive to your admin account, change the user to no-access, and everyone to no-access.
how does one "chmod the root user of the drive to your admin account"?
can that be done with terminal inside an administrator account, or does root need to be enabled and logged into?

How do I take ownership of my external HD?

I'm having unbelievable problems with my external Verbatim HD. I've been using it for backup but using it is an incredibly nightmare which just leaves me bashing my desk and ripping my hair out...
Basically it mounts intermittantly. I'll plug it in and out 20 times and it'll appear in disk utility but the only partition is greyed out and if I try to mount it, disk utility just freezes for ages before saying "the disk could not be mounted".
Then if I ignore it for a while, occasionally I find it just mounts on its own. Sometimes it mounts straight away with no problems at all and other times it just won't mount.
I have been lead to believe that "Enable owners: no" on the disk might be causing some of the chaos. I was also told that to change this all I had to do was "get info" and change the permissions. Problem: Apparently I have no right to do so. On the permissions tab, it just says:
"Ownership and permissions: You can read and write"
That's it! No options, no more detail, nothing. Disk utility seems to have no tools to change this with. How the **** do you change it?
It's a FAT32 disk by the way, but I don't think that's the problem since on the occasional incidents when it does mount it works perfectly, no problems at all
Can anyone help? Is it possible to gain full control over an external HD?

Fat32 doesn't have permission bits. The format was invented for a single use system where you had access to all the data.
My Fat32 get info says like yours, "you can read and write"

How java application can access other java application

Hi everyone,
Please help me, I need to know how I can make my java program,
specifically a servlet, access other java application continuously running a single instance in java virtual machine, and vice-versa.
thanks in advance

A java application is just a bunch of classes with one designated as a main class. You can simply ensure the classes are available to the server's jvm and then load and run the "external" program as part of the servlet process.
If you have full access, and which external program is to be run, you can simply import it in your source.
If your don't have the details at run time use the java.reflect.* stuff to load and run the class dynamically.

How to set up full access and limited access wireless networks to laptops

Dear Apple,
I just received my Apple 1 TB Time Capsule. Can someone please help me with a network configuration I want to set up?
I have a cable modem, and, three computers: a G4 iMAC (system 10.5.5), an Apple MacBook (system 10.5.5), and, a PC laptop.
The Time Capsule is connect directly to the cable modem.
Regarding the computers:
(1) I want the G4 iMAC to connect directly, via an Ethernet cable, to the Time Capsule, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature, and, with allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
(2) I also want the MacBook laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule via the Airport utility on the laptop, and, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature (using WPA/WPA2 security, and, without the network name visible to third parties), and, WITH allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
(3) I want the PC laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule (using WEP security), but WITHOUT ACCESS to the Time Machine, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the iMAC, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the MacBook, and, WITHOUT access to the inkjet printer --- I only want the PC to use the Time Capsule as a WIRELESS ROUTER so that the PC laptop can access the internet.
(4) And, finally, I want to specify (Time-Capsule/Time-Machine/server ) access ONLY to the iMAC and the MacBook, so that others cannot gain any access.
I specifically need help to set up and configure the Time Capsule so that the PC laptop, as stated above, should have limited access to the Time Capsule --- namely, only to access the internet, and, not even be aware of stored data on the Time Capsule, not even be aware of the inkjet printer, and, not even see my WPA network name when the PC scans for wireless devices.
I also want the iMAC and the MacBook to have access to each other’s data stored on the Time Capsule (like a common server).
I have an old D-Link DI-624 wireless router that I used before buying the Time Capsule, which is available, if needed. Hopefully, I can configure the Time Capsule so that I would not need the old D-Link.
Thank you in advance,
David.

The basic method for remote access is not changed.
http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
You have a few issues.
The really big one.. the school firewall should not let you connect to home.
Check the IT admin at your school but if they allow anything but a few protocols like http and https through, they are not doing their job. You cannot afford in a large network to have every Tom Dick and Harry access any open device.. that can introduce viruses and trojans into the network behind the firewall.
The general method for remote access on large networks is vpn and the TC offers no vpn connection.. just AFP.
If you intend using 3G wireless stick or the like then you can get access.
The next issue is static public IP or how to find the TC.. you need some way to find the IP if your ISP does not offer static ip, and the tc has no dyndns client. Since Apple shut down new users for mobileme and will close that service there is no method to find the TC IP without owning your own domain. You would be better placing the TC in bridge behind a router that does offer dyndns and port forward AFP (TCP 548) to it.

Time Capsule - how to gain "over-the-internet" access from Windows 7!

Hi guys,
I've been fighting for such a long time with my Time Capsule. I have no idea how to gain access "over-the-internet" on a PC (Windows 7) which is running on another network. My Time Capsule is set up with my Macbook Pro at home running Lion OSX, and i have internet connection. My brother who also uses Macbook has no problems connecting to my Time Capsule - through finder (connect to a server). But how do I gain "over-the-internet" access to my Time Capsule through a PC (Windows 7) from my office? Is there please someone who can guide me step-by-step, how to gain connection to my TC through a PC? Or maybe just an explantaion what has to be done on the PC before this thing can work out! This was the main reason to why i bought Time Capsule - besides of the Time Machine function. I also have an iCloud account (earlier Mobile Me), if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

There is no way to do it from windows direct to the TC.
It only presents AFP to the WAN side. And most ISP block SMB from internet access due to risks. There is AFAIK, no suitable AFP protocol utility for windows at the moment. If you google and find one, be aware it probably will not work to your satisfaction anyway.
You must use a Mac to access AFP but even then it is not a secure protocol and I would recommend against it anyway.
So basically if you had have asked before purchasing, I would have said, TC is unsuitable product. It is a backup drive for a Mac. It is not a NAS.. it is not designed for remote access by any computer other than a Mac. It does not support any other file protocol to the WAN interface.. and no secure protocol even there.
A NAS with Time Machine extensions from QNAP, Synology, Netgear all are designed for web access and are far more suitable. Researching a purchase beforehand is always worthwhile.
Anyway, your choices are.. return the TC and buy something more suited to the job.
Or if return is now impossible sell the TC on ebay.. etc and do the same thing.. buy a more suitable NAS.
Or buy a cheap mac mini (even second hand) and use that for communications with home.
Or, replace your current router with something that includes vpn. This is actually a good and commercially sound decision. VPN is generally used by business to connect to remote locations, because it is secure and will allow the greatest flexibility of connection. How hard or easy depends on the current setup. I would recommend a combined modem router with vpn server if you have adsl. Or for cable you can find plenty of routers with combined vpn. You can also use those for adsl if your ISP allows pppoe with bridged modem. The TC will have to be bridged as well. For other broadband it might be harder to find the right kind of box.
Once you setup a vpn you can access it from work using the appropiate vpn client in your work computer.

How do i recover data from an external hard drive that was accidentally deleted? After I verified the drive, a message appeared that said my drive needed to be repaired. When I tried to access the drive again, the 700 Gigs of music is gone!

Stop using the drive immediately, un plug it.
Buy a copy of ProSoft DataRescue 4 and use it to search for deleted files.

G'day. I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space. How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

G'day. I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space. How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

How do you set a security password to control access to an external hard drive?

how do you set a security password to control access to an external hard drive?

The only way to reliably protect data, especially on an external hard drive, is to encrypt it. Permissions don't have to be respected. One way to encrypt data is to create an encrypted sparse bundle disk image with Disk Utility. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1578
(Be sure to use the 256-bit encryption.)
Alternately, you could use some whole-disk encryption, though I have no experience with any of the software for doing that. You could try the following:

I don't know that I would recommend the product being advertised inappropriately by keynesis.

How to get list of users who all are having full access in sharepoint site using client object model c#

Here you are complete code i created from some years it lists all groups and users, you can just add a check in the permissions loop to see if it is equal to Full Control.

clientContext.Load(roles);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
foreach (RoleAssignment orole in roles)
clientContext.Load(orole.Member);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//name
//MessageBox.Show(orole.Member.LoginName);
lvi = new ListViewItem();
lvi.Text = orole.Member.LoginName;

// args.GroupsList.Items.Add(lvigroup);
DoUpdate1(lvigroup);
Group group = clientContext.Web.SiteGroups.GetById(orole.Member.Id);

How to Find mailboxes a specific user has full access to

Hi,
I have been searching all the threads but all i am getting is user mailbox is accessible to following users. I run this command:
Get-Mailbox -resultsize unlimited | Get-MailboxPermission | Where {(!$_.isinherited) -and ($_.user.SecurityIdentifier -ne "S-1-5-10") -and ($_.accessrights -contains "fullaccess") } | Select Identity,User
It is taking so much time as we have 20K mailboxes. Then i tried this:
Get-Mailbox -server exdm01 -resultsize unlimited | Get-MailboxPermission | Where {(!$_.isinherited) -and ($_.user.SecurityIdentifier -ne "S-1-5-10") -and ($_.accessrights -contains "fullaccess") } | Select Identity,User
It gives me list of those users who have access to mailboxes. But what if i want to see user_A is accessing which mailboxes. we
need to find out which mailboxes user has FULL MAILBOX ACCESS to NOT which users can access this user's mailbox. I hope you will understand, i DONT want the list which MANAGE FULL ACCESS PERMISSION option gives in GUI, but i WANT vice-versa.
We migrated 100 users to different domain, now i want to know these users' association with others' mailboxes.
Hasan

Please check with this
Get-Mailbox -Server "SERVERNAME" -resultsize "Unlimited" | Get-MailboxPermission | where { ($_.AccessRights -eq "FullAccess") -and ($_.User -like "DOMAIN\TESTUSER") -and ($_.IsInherited -eq $false) -and -not ($_.User -like "NT AUTHORITY\SELF") } | ft User, @{Name="Identity";expression={($_.Identity -split "/")[-1]}} -Autosize
Replace "DOMAIN\TESTUSER" with "Yourdomain\Yourusername" to check, which will list the users which testuser has FullAccessPermission on.

Not a problem. I just wanted to point out that you won't get any "official" answers from Apple on this board. It is all user to user and we only know what we know and some of the time it is conjecture on how to fix a problem if we've never seen it before. I try to point out when I'm guessing, but I don't always remember to rephrase my statements.
I'm not sure how to set up the Time Machine, but look for an option to only serve out files via AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) only. Turn off SMB sharing, if possible. The PC won't be able to understand AFP--it communicates via SMB (Server Message Block). I would think you should be able to set up
If the PC can use WPA or WPA2, use that instead of WEP. There is no way to set up special passwords for individual users on a wireless network. It is all or nothing. Now, the wireless password could be different than the password needed to access the files, I think. So, you could set up a simple WPA password for wireless, but set up user accounts with strong passwords for the file server. Again, I don't have Time Capsule, so I don't know how to set it up. Hopefully, I've put enough keywords in for you to look through the configuration options and get it set up.
As long as this thread stays open and unanswered, more people might look in and have a more specific answer for you.
