How to unlock a locked read-only .txt

On my Macbook Pro I'm trying to edit a .txt file inside a device/external hard drive(it's under the Devices tab in finder) I've tried get info, looked under general and the Locked box was unchecked, I looked under Sharing & Permissions and under Privilege it says Read & Write by my name, but it also says You can only read under the tab. I open the .txt file and I click the unlock option, and a message comes up and says: The file "Plugins.txt" is on a read-only volume and cannot be unlocked. Is there any way I can fix this to edit the file?

If you can highlight and copy the text, just paste it elsewhere.
If you command shift 4 and draw a marquee around the text and click, it make png image file on the desktop, which you can use Preview to change it to jpg.
There are free optical character reader softwares over at MacUpdate.com that then can convert the image text into regular plain ASCII text to paste into any program you please.
Since your running 10.8, you first have to System Preferences > Security > set downloads to "Anywhere" to accept software from sources you trust.
You can try opening the file with the free TextWrangler, or saving the above text into a the same named file with same extension.

How to unlock account on read only replica (DS 5.2 p4)

We are planning to turn on password policy to lock account after user failed to provide correct password after n times and the account will be lock forever unless administrator is to reset the password retry count.
We implemented password policy with role and cos so that the policy only imposed on end users but not administrators. The password policy works fine.
We understand that for DS 5.2 p.4, the password retry count is per instance, so the account lock is per instance. The problem we now encountered is at account unlock. We developed a function to reset the password retry count in order to unlock the account. It works fine in our test env. However, in production, we have 2 masters and 4 replicas and our replicas are all read only, all update is referred to the 2 masters. Now, when we update the master setting 0 to the password retry count, the reset is not populated to the replicas and when we try update the replica directly, the update get referred to the master and hence the attribute on the replica remains the same.
Is there a way to unlock the account that got locked at the read only replica?

As I recalled the way to unlock an account is to reset password using admin account. I think Ludovic once mentioned that in one of his post.
If I were right here in this point, you should reset password which will be replicated to your read-only account and reset the counter to be 0.
BTW, just found Ludovic's original post link:

the ever biggest mistake i made is that time i was not aware abt apple id n i told them to activate the phone for me.the guy who is dealing with the software installation activated my phone with his id it seems. May be after couple of weeks i started facing problem like every time it was showing for the apple id password was incorrect.That time a friend created one new apple id for me and i started using that with out any issue. All these happ after the release of IOS 7.1.2 , one day my wife by mistakely formatted iphone with out disabling the Find my iphone option and all these mis happ started.
my question is finally i found that guy who activated my phone ,but he is telling the apple id wat he is using is with domain hotmail.com

How to right align a read only numeric field in a panel form layout

Hi, does anyone know how to right align a read only numeric field in a panel form layout? I am using: Style Class = AFFieldNumberMarker, but it only seems to work if the field is disabled. Disabling the field gives it a difference appearance that does not look right on our forms. These are calculated fields, which cannot be modified, so read only is necessary.
I have looked online for some answers, and it seems that others are having similar issues.
I have tried different combinations for the properties, but so far I cannot get it to work.
Thanks

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

Dude, netiquette. Messages like "i need this now! Do it!" are really offensive and no one here is being payed to answer anyone's questions. We're here because we like to contribute to the community.
Anyway, in your case, just perform some search on how you could filter the files that are attached to the message. The sample module is just an example, you'll have to implement your own. Tips would be to query the filename of the attachments (or maybe content type) and for the ones which are not text, remove them.

Multiple signatures: signature clear disable / lock / read only

I have a form with multiple signatures, for example a Purchase Requisition form... the author needs to buy something so he fills in the form with the product he needs to buy that is worth X amount. He signs it and sends it on to his manager for approval, his manager signs it and sends it on to finance for approval signature. The author now receives this form back with all the signatures he needs, but now he can clear his signature therefore unlocking all the fields so he can change the amount to XX and resign so now it looks like he has a purchase requisition that is approved for XX with everyones approval signatures still in place... How can I stop this from happening? Can I lock certain fields with the second signature that stays locked irrespective if the author clears his signature or not. Or can I disable the 'clear signature' option after signing? If the author clears his signature, can it clear ALL signatures on the form as if resetting all signature fields so they are forced to sign again? Is there ANY way to get around this? Pleeeease help, I can't seem to get this right. I'm using Acrobat 8 Pro to create the form.

I'm here to answer my own question... and for anyone who wants to know, or has a similar issue... Create a button with the following script. It will make the form fields read-only (including signature fields!) except for buttons and comments.
for (var i = 0 ; i < this.numFields ; i++) {
var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i)) ;
if (f.type != "button") // do I have to change the word between " " with the name of my button which I put on my PDF? name of button is "Valider"
f.readonly = true ;
I have not tried it on the last signature to see if it would work there as yet. At least the last one to sign can lock the form so the author cannot clear his signature and edit anything.

How to Unlock a Locked Recoed for Infotype 2010..

first of all, use a BAPI instead of BDC.. HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA
you may have to do some up-front logic to determine which records to unlock, if necessary.
EDIT: that is a FM, not BAPI.

How to make form as read only when another time as user sees it..

Hi All,
I have a form to raise the issue. once the issue is raised it appears in the issue raised reports( that is form on a report )
so all can view this report and click on issue no ..the form with details appear .
but i want to restrict it , by allowing only one up manager to view the form on a report in editable format rest all can just view it .
how can i do this?????????
can any one help me with this ????..
my approach is like this ...
a column called "checked shud be added to issue table , then its values must be set to "raised" when issue is submitted for the very first time..( so it is zero when the end user is submitting it ).
when ( the logged in user =1 up manager or checked!="raised") then
form fields to be displayed as edited
else
form fields need to be read only .
Thanks & Regards,
Nandini Thakur.
Edited by: Nandini thakur on Jun 26, 2010 12:04 PM

Nandini,
If you edit any item, you can see a section where you can specify "Read-Only" condition. Here you can write your read-only logic using SQL OR PL/SQL or predefined conditions.
Cheers,
Hari

How Do I: Fill a read-only field based on selections from 2 DDlists?

Follow-up from issue:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2417876#2417876
I have 2 drop-down lists... "Department" and "SubDepartment"
The selection in DDlist "Department" spawns a unique list in DDlist "SubDepartment"
I select the proper items from both DDlists.
When I do this, I want read-only text field "NameOnIDBadge" to be populated with a pre-defined entry.
Example:
In "Department" DDlist, select item "Finance & Administration"
In "SubDepartment" DDlist, select item "Food Service" from the list that appears
THEN:
In read-only text field "NameOnIDBadge" the following predefined read-only text appears: "Contract Food Serv."
(Thanks to Paul, I already know how to make the selection in DDlist "Department" affect the selection list in DDlist "SubDepartment"
but I don't know how to make the selection of both DDlists create a new pre-defined entry in a text field.)
I have attached a mockup of the file I am working with...

I tried that but a few things went wrong.
1. After I select "Food Service" in the second "SubDepartment" DDlist, a Javascript error message pops up (see attached), and I have to click it to make it go away. Then the text "Contract Food Serv" appears in the text box.
2. If I select a different value in the Department DDlist, the rawtext still remains in place... it should clear out.
3. The raw text seems to be based on the selection of the SubDepartment DDlist only. However, I need specific raw text to be generated based on the combination of BOTH DDlists. (It could happen that a totally different Department DDlist could have the same item in its corresponding SubDepartment DDlist. In that case, the rawtext would be completely different.)
Correct example:
Department DDlist = Finance & Administration
SubDepartment DDlist = Food Service
NameOnIDBadge = Contract Food Serv <-- CORRECT
Incorrect example:
Department DDlist = Clinical Services
SubDepartment DDlist = Food Service
NameOnIDBadge = Contract Food Serv <-- INCORRECT (it might be something else)

File locked/Read-Only issue in OES2LINUX

We have observed that when the novell connection is idle for some time, then it is creating a second connection upon wakeup. Whatever the opened files in the idle connection are getting read-only.
How to activate the idle connection and prevent creating a second connection? we hope by activating the idle connection, read-only problem can be solved.

Dear Mr.Willem,
Thanks for ur reply.
Client OS: Windows 7 Proff sp1,Novell Client : Novell Client 2 SP1 for Windows 7 (IR5), but this problem is there with all the versions of client.
We have already tried disabling novell client caching and energy saving. Still the problem is not solved.
I've just changed the value of OPLOCK_SUPPORT_LEVEL to '0' on server. I'll get back to u on this soon.
Rgds,
Ahleia

Two generic things that come to mind:
1) Make sure you have oplocks disabled on the server and also have disabled Novell client caching on the workstation.
2) If this is a fixed workstation, disable energy saving on the network card to see if that helps

Willem
