HT1526 what are locked items?

why are they locked? who locked them? should I lock all my files? how to unlock all my files? how do I find each locked item to unlocked them? yes, I'm very angry with some features I find on my mac, every day.

Generally items that are locked by default should be locked so they are not unintentinally changed To open a locked item, "Get Info" (cmd-i) and click the padlock to open, you'll be asked to enter your admin password and it will unlock.
What are you trying to unlock and why would you want all files unlocked?

  • What are secure items when emptying trash

    I would like to empty my trash and I receive the question if I would like to empty secured items.  What are secured items?

    It's not "secure items" it's deleting. It's deleting items securely. Secure Empty Trash, trashes the items in a way that they can not be read after trashing.
    Emptying the Trash the regular way is faster, but items can be read with the right type of recovery software.

  • AS-CS3- Fill color of any paths, what are "plugin items"?

    I had a script that used to work in Illy 9 or 10. Now in CS3 I found it does not work 100% properly. I have some artwork that contains some "plugin items" on the page. WTH are these and how can I manipulate them? I've checked the item's properties and can't find a way to get the fill color or path item kind of data.
    Here's what my old script did: Get each path item on the document, check it's fill color. If fill color total (ink total) is over 290 then either set it to be only 100% black, or select the item and warn the user.
    This script is run by various PrePress people and other artists. Assume that no one knows where the document came from or how it was made. I am attaching a sample document you can check out. It appears like the "tree" object has been made by the Pathfinder filter but was not expanded. I can not assume that I can expand the object, artwork must stay the same except for color changes.
    Here is my current script:
    tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
    tell document 1
    set myCount to count path items
    set selected of every path item to false
    repeat with i from 1 to myCount
    try
    set myColorSum to ((cyan of fill color of path item i) + (magenta of fill color of path item i) + (yellow of fill color of path item i) + (black of fill color of path item i))
    if myColorSum is 400 then set fill color of path item i to {class:CMYK color info, cyan:30.0, magenta:20.0, yellow:20.0, black:100.0}
    if myColorSum > 290 and myColorSum < 400 then set selected of path item i to true
    end try
    end repeat
    set mySelectedPaths to count (path items whose selected is true)
    if (mySelectedPaths > 0) then display dialog "If you have any items with color sums over 290 then they are selected for you now (some have been fixed automatically). Please fix them, and run this again to verify. Gradients must be checked manually!" with icon 2
    if mySelectedPaths = 0 then display dialog "Document is OK -or- all items have been corrected. Save your document." buttons "OK" default button 1
    end tell
    end tell

    Thanks, I had a look at your sample file and the only route I can see is the expand that you don't want to use. You may just have to add the plugin items to the things the user has to check manually. The only thing that you can really do with plug in items is alter the trace options if it is a trace. Sorry.

  • Can't delete trash because items are locked, but I can't find them

    When I used the mac backup software, it backed up EVERYTHING including applications and settings, etc. After I lost my harddrive, I replaced it from my external harddrive, but it put things on my computer that were already there on my new hard drive, like the application support and the caches. So, I dragged everything I didn't need into the trash, and attempted to delete them from my external hard drive (in my mac trash). However, nothing will delete, because it keeps stopping and saying things like "The operation cannot be complepted because the item 'wmphelp.htm' is locked. I will press continue, but there is an infinite number of things that are locked, and I always just end up pressing 'stop'. You might say just to unlock them, but I cant find them in the trash, there are too many folders, and too many locked items. I have about 5,700 items in my trash in all. And I can't drag it out of the trash either...it only copies it...
    Is there a way to override what is locked? Change preferences of all? Force the trash to delete? It is making it so I can't even delete simple files and because of this I have no more room on my hard drive.
    What can I do???
    P.S. I just now noticed that it is on a loop. 79 items that are locked, and then it starts over with the list. Ahhhhh!

    Restart the Mac in safe mode holding the shift key on startup.
    If Secure Empty Trash doesn't work from the File or Finder menu (I'm not at a Mac now, so I don't remember where that is found), try my software Force Empty Trash from this page*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/software.html
    Given the number of files, wait a couple hours before double clicking the Trash to discover whether or not it has emptied.

  • My ipad mini was stolen and i have activated the find my phone to lock it. how can i get the serial number off my itunes or icloud profile? and what are the chances that the find my iphone app works when someome erases the device?

    my ipad mini has been stolen and i have activated the find my iphone to lock. now it is only a wifi device so what are the chances that a person can get hold of it and log onto wifi without the password of my device to unlock. does that not make the app rather less useful as i have to hope that the person is apt enough to log onto the internet but not enough to erase it and start afresh. is it possible to find my device even afte someone has erased it?

    "Losing your iPhone feels lousy. Thankfully, iCloud can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new Find My iPhone features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it."

  • What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

    What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

    You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
    Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
    Answer YES to change the security.
    A new window opens:
         Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
         Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
         Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
              Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
              Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
              Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
              Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
              Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
              OK - OK
              Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
              OK - OK
              Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

    I live in China, have Dutch nationality, and no US address or Credit Card; how can I have access to products from the US iTunes store, in particular music, when such items are not available from the China iTunes store? In general, what are the differences between countries' iTunes offerings? Does one really need an address and a credit card for any country to be able to access that countries iTunes store? Why these restrictions?

    You cannot.
    You cannot use another countrys itunes store.
    You must be physically locates inside the borders of a country to use that countrys itunes store and a credit card issued in that country with a valid billing address in that country.
    The owners of the distribution rights of movies/music/etc differ by country.  These distributors decide who can sell their content in that country.
    Buy from another source if your countrys itunes store does not carry somehting that you want.

    I have a Win7Pro SP1 PC locked down with a Group Policy as it is a public facing PC. PDF fillable forms cannot be completed when logged on as the restricted user. The forms work as a normal user. What are the user requirements/permissions needed to fill forms?

    Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
    Go Utilities > Disk Utility
    Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
    Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
    If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
    After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
    I hope this help.

  • What are the lock modes in Lock object

    What are the lock modes in Lock object ?
    what are the divfferences between
    Exclusive , cumulative
    Shared
    Exclusive , not cumulative
    Could any body explain what happens in each table lock ?
    How the lock consists ?

    HI
    Lock objects are used to synchronize access to the same data by more than one program.
    The lock mode controls whether several users can access data records at the same time. The lock mode can be assigned separately for each table in the lock object. When the lock is set, the corresponding lock entry is stored in the lock table of the system for each table.
    There are three types of lock modes
    1.Exclusive
    2.Shared
    3.Exclusive not cummulative
    Exclusive lock: The locked data can only be displayed or edited by a single user. A request for another exclusive lock or for a shared lock is rejected.
    Shared lock: More than one user can access the locked data at the same time in display mode. A request for another shared lock is accepted, even if it comes from another user. An exclusive lock is rejected.
    Exclusive but not cumulative: Exclusive locks can be requested several times from the same transaction and are processed successively. In contrast, exclusive but not cumulative locks can be called only once from the same transaction. All other lock requests are rejected.

  • What are dead locks in BW

    hI,
       What are dead locks in BW

    Hi ,
    The concept of dead lock is as similar as in Oracle. If Process P1 is using resource A (locked by P1)) and waiting for B and Process P2is using resouce B(locked by P2) and waiting for resouceA. This creates dead lock as both can not proceed further.
    In BW deadlock usually occur in delta load. As, far as my observance deadlock usually occurs during processing of update rules. This may be because more than one package will be processing same record as in delta load, data moves from changelog of below level to next level.

  • Please tell me SQL to see, what tables are locked by which user

    could you please tell me the query
    so that I can see, what tables are locked by which user in a databse
    Thanks

    The only way you can ensure that only one transaction touches the data at any one time is to use a select .. for update nowait statement to select the rows to be updated.
    Try this::
    Where I select the data i want to update in a cursor Incase the row is locked due to any reason it will throw me an error as shown below;
    SQL>DECLARE
      2   cursor c
      3   is
      4   select * from emp
      5   where empno = 10
      6   for update nowait;
      7  BEGIN

      9   for rec in c

    11     update emp set ename ='J' where empno = 10;

  • What are these startup items and are they harmfull

    Hello
    I Have a M55-S325. I have noticed some items on my startup list in system Configuration Utility
    TCtrlIOhook.exe
    TPSMain.exe
    Ltmoh.exe
    AGSMMSG.exe
    Apoint.exe
    TFncKy.exe
    So My Question is What are these and are they harmfull
    if so how do i remove them.
    PLEASE HELP

    Hi David,
    The items you have listed are genuine items use by your operating system although they may be stopped if you wish without doing any real harm. It will largely depend on whether you want to use any of the functions in which they are involved.
    For example, TCtrllOhook.exe and TPSMain.exe are associated with the Toshiba power management utility.
    Ltmoh.exe and AGRSMMSG.exe relate to you installed modem.
    Apoint.exe is associated with you pointing device (Touchpad or whatever).
    TFncKY.exe is related to the Toshiba function keys feature.
    Obviously, if you are not using your internal modem then the modem related items can be stopped without any ill effects, similarly the Toshiba Function keys.
    regards,
