HT5902 Can I set permissions on a public photo stream such as "read only"?

I like that I can make any photo stream "public", send the link to family members w/o a idevice, but I don't like that anyone with the link can download the photos. Is there a way to set permissions on the photo stream. Something like read only would be ideal.
Thanks all.

Not at the present time, but you can give this suggestion to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html.

How to set Permissions for Mac HD from "No Access" to "Read only"

Hi everyone! My friend's having a problem with her MacBook Pro. She accidentally changed the value of the Macintosh HD's privilege for everyone from Read only to No access. (See attached image for reference/guide). Seconds after, her Mac crashed. She rebooted her laptop, the Apple logo shows up with the usual scrolling week. Afterwards, the scrolling wheel disappears but the Apple logo is still there and it no longer proceeds to her login/desktop screen anymore.
We already tried Repairing Disk Permissions (by pressing Command +R on bootup) and Repair Disks, rebooted, but it's still up to nothing. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a Time Machine backup.
Is there a way to revert the changes even though the login/desktop screen can't be accessed? Is having the value "No access" on your Macintosh HD unsafe and will make you locked out of your system?
I am looking forward to your fast and favorable feedback. :-)
Thanks in advance!

There is currently no way to access the disk, no access means no access.
Others may know better but I would backup the data on the drive, erase and reinstall.

Please help setting permissions on a Public folder

I've just migrated from a G4 running 10.4.x to a Mac Pro running 10.5.1, and now when I create files/folders on a Public folder located on a Xserver, I can't set permissions to allow everyone to Read & Write.
Here's what's happening. Let's say I create a new folder in the Public folder and select Get Info to change the permission to allow everyone to Read & Write. The folder starts with the permissions as g42 (my account) "Read & Write", admin "Read only", everyone "Read only". If I click to change the Privileges of "everyone" to Read & Write, all of a sudden g42's Privileges change to "No Access", admin disappears and everyone (which I had selected as Read & Write) changes to "No Access". And the folder icon now has a minus symbol on the lower right corner.
With that said, lets say I try and correct this by clicking the Privileges of g42 to "Read & Write". Nothing happens. I then try and correct the Privileges of everyone to "Read & Write". After doing this the list of permissions is osxserver "No Access", (unknown) "Read & Write", everyone "Read & Write". And the folder still has a minus symbol on the lower right corner.
I'm sorry if this is confusing but it's just as confusing to me and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I Can set all the correct permissions if I do it via the Xserver. But I don't want to have to do this everytime I create a file/folder. And no one else connected to the network, running 10.4.x, has this problem which makes me think its a Leopard problem.
Any suggestions? Need me to clarify anything?
Thanks.

Hey Aaron...
I just ran thru this with my nephew at college who wanted to share .mp3 files with his roomies, and yes, I'm afraid it's all about permissions.
In a way, Apple has made this a bit harder than it needs to be.
1. You could create a new user for your computer, say User1, and let all your co-workers log in as that user, and they would have access to the all the docs in User1's home folder, including the ability to create, edit, move, and delete files. The problem here is that you'll be logged in as "you", and won't have the same priviledges, and no amount of manual changing of permissions will make this easier.
2. If you have a spare HD(they are pretty cheap), you can add that to your computer, and set the the permissions to "Ignore". Your co-workers can log in to your computer as Guest, and have access to all the docs on that drive, and you will as well, since docs on that drive respond to permissions issues.
3. The last option would be if you have an older, spare Mac to set up as a file server. Create a user for it, and you and your co-workers can log in as that user (all at the same time) and see, edit, and delete docs on the computer.
BUT, as far as I know, I have tried numerous times to do what you want to do, and can't get it to work. Unless you don't have any "secrets" on your computer, you could give your co-workers your username and password, they log into your computer and have access to all the docs in your home folder.... but ALL the docs... anything and everything in your home folder will be available for perused by anyone logged in with your username. LIkewise, establishing a 2nd user on your computer only goes most of the way to a solution, since you can't (easily) be logged in as both users and create, open, edit, save and delete docs.
I suppose there may be a script out there that will automatically change permissions on the fly, but I'm unaware of any.
Hope this helps.

SAPCAR: can not set permissions for /EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF

We are running SUM 1.0 SP10 on IBM i with V7R1 to put EHP6 and SP's on an ERP 6.0 system. Phase PREP_PRE_CHECK/SCANDIR_EPS0 repeatedly ends with multiple errors that SAPCAR: can not set permissions for /EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF file. We tried increasing the sidADM and R3GROUP authority to the file, but it changes them back and ends with a different number of errors each time, see example:

Hi,
We had the same issue, and in my opinion it is caused by the parallelisation of sapcar during SUM phase PREP_PRE_CHECK/SCANDIR_EPS0
I did see several parallel SAPCAR jobs running during this phase.
So what happens when one job extracts SIGNATURE.SMF at the same time another job tries to finalize its extraction by setting the permissions for /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in/SIGNATURE.SMF?
It can happen that permissions are being set at the same time another sapcar yust deletes this file to begin extracting.
Since we had 146 SAR archives that needed to be extracted, a retry allways ended up in 4 to 12 conflicts.
What did do the trick was adding
/sapcar/extrcact_parallel = 0
to the file
../SUM/abap/bin/SAPup.par
Just as Christoph Langer suggested.
We had to restart the whole phase, a repeat was not enough to solve the problem.

I have iPhoto 11, 9.4.1 installed. When my library was upgraded, I got a message the photos couldn't be imported and I need to repair iPhoto permissions. How do I do that? My photos are there, but I can no longer drag them to the photo stream.

I have iPhoto 11, version 9.4.1 installed. When my library upgraded, I got a message that the photos couldn't be inported and I need to repair iPhoto permissions. How do I do that? My photos are there, but I can no oonger drag them to the photo stream.

Disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's preferences and then go back and reenable it. See if that will jump start the process. If that doesn't help try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto check its preferences to meka sure all is as you expect and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

You can create a Quicktime movie slideshow of the book's pages and share that. Here's how to get your book into an iPhoto slideshow and then export as a Quicktime video:
1 - While viewing the book type Command+P to start the print process.
2 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
Note: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
3 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
4 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. Immediately select all of the photos in the new album and sequentially renumber them as "Page " using the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with the option to add a sequential number to each title. This is to let you put the pages back in the correct order in the event they get sorted incorrectly.
Now you can proceed as follows: create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large (480p with iPhoto 9),

HT201077 Can I add older pictures to my photo stream?

Can I add older pictures to my photo stream?

There are a couple of ways to do this:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll (if you choose to send them as Actual Size) and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

Collect signatures workflow - Signatures can't be added or removed because this document was opened read-only

Hi, I have configured a "Collect Signatures" workflow for test Word document(.docx), then uploaded it to sample SP 2010 doc library (content type "Document"). This Word document has 2 empty Signature Lines in it.
After that i'm starting the Collect Signatures workflow on it , which is assigned to me and other user from my Active Directory.
Workflow is started and after that i'm receiving mail about assigned task which also contains link to document.
When i click on link it opens IE which contains SP library file path, after a while doc is opened in Word client in Read-only mode. When i want to sign the document info window pops up : "Signatures can't be added or removed because this document was opened
read-only" and i'm not able to compete task/sign doc from Word.
It is possible to sign the document when i go to SP library and opens this file directly from there (file drop-down menu-> open in MS Word).
I saw that this behaviour is similar to this article:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/31ba43ec-b04e-428d-9a66-0cc571934197/collect-signatures-workflow-using-firefox-not-showing-workflow-task-this-document-requires-your?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
but i'm using IE so it shouldn't be Active X issue.
I have also checked this MS Fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2661910
but changing CA settings to Permissive didn't help
Any ideas ?

Hi bezcisnien,
I could not reproduce this issue.
When you open this file directly by clicking the document Name link from SharePoint library, is there a
yellow message bar in Word document?
Did this happen to all users on all PCs?
Have you checked if it is a client side issue, test with different IE 8/9/10 versions for this issue (and IE compatibility mode, add-ons, trusted site zone etc)?
Thanks,

Can i add a sound alert or message when someone comments on a pic of a photo stream when i am only another participant (not owner of the photstream)?

Hi,
How can i add a sound alert or message when someone comments on a pic of a photo stream when i am only another participant (not owner of the photstream)? Thank you. Joana

Joana,
that should be automatic.
See: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.4/#pht884a8908
When you like or comment on a photo in a shared stream, a notification is sent to all the Apple devices of the photo stream’s creator and subscribers. You can delete comments you added to a photo by placing the pointer over the comment and clicking the Delete button that appears.
Usually the problem is the other way round - how to prervent spamming all subscribers to a shared stream from being alerted to each comment on a photo in the stream. Quite a few subcribers have cancelled their subscriptions to shared streams, because they have continously been sent alert messages and could not disable them. It can get rather annoying - there is no way to silently add a few comments to photos and then send only one alert.

I only create Read Only folders can't set permissions for any file but mine

My issue is I have 25 users and an X-Serve and it seems like all the users
do not have the same permissions. More specifically if a user creates a
folder on the server only that user can access it. This is the same if the
user creates the folder on there desktop and then copies the files to the
server. But if they copy a "read only" folder or file (this happens more
with files) to there desktop and then they open the file save it and place
it back on the server there is no problem.
I also, have a user that whenever she creates a folder it automatically
set's itself to read only. No matter whether she copies from her desktop to
the server or visa versa. Every folder she creates is protected this way
here settings are all the same as everyone else. So I'm not sure if she is
unique or if the settings for my users are incorrect.
I did not set up the server or the user's so I'm really trying to catch up
quick. We are really suffering in that it totally slow's things down almost
to a crawl in some cases. I really hope you can help me out with this I've
attached some screen shot's and the X-Serve system profiler for background.

Can I set permissions in DW 5?

Trust me, it's NOT that I want to get into this. But here's what happened:
My first Wordpress blog hosted on Dreamhost worked perfectly when hosted through a domain. I downloaded all the files onto my computer through DW 5, uploaded them again, everything was great. But THEN, I started the SECOND WP blog and hosted it on a Dreamhost subdomain. Everything suddenly fell apart. All of the files downloaded to DW, but nothing could be uploaded (through Put.) I just kept getting ""An FTP error occurred. Cannot open server folder ourblog.greenhillslawnandgarden.com. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem."
Also, nothing could be uploaded to the WP site for the blog hosted through the subdomain. So the advice on the WP forums is to set new file permissions for the subdomain blog files, and that will fix everything (supposedly.) "
FTP programs ("clients") allow you to set permissions for files and directories on your remote host. This function is often called chmod or set permissions in the program menu. " (That's what they say, anyway.)
Apparently, setting permissions is easy to do with Filezilla. But do I REALLY have to learn yet another program?? Can't this be done through DW 5? It just seems hard to believe that there isn't a way. Does anyone know???

I really appreciate the answer, but... it doesn't work. And that actually is a good example of the entire problem. When I try to switch to Remote View in the Files Panel, all I get is the same message that says:
""An FTP error occurred. Cannot open server folder ourblog.greenhillslawnandgarden.com. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem."
So there's no way to even get to a view where I *could* set permissions. Is there any way out of this mess??
