I got the message, "Photos have read-only access."-Macintosh

I've read this post, http://forums.adobe.com/message/5516195#5516195, but am having the same issues on a Macintosh (LR 5, 10.8.4) with random images.
The folders all have read/write access and the images contained have the same.  I'm logged in as admin, and have full permission.
The images reside on an external HDD connected to an Airport Extreme BaseStation, on a Macintosh formated (Journaled) HDD
-Y = Metadata is written successfully
-N = Photos have read-only access
Folder01
-Image01-Y
-Image02-N
-Image03-Y
-Image04-Y
Folder02
-Image01a-N
-Image02a-Y
-Image03a-Y
-Image04a-N
If I modify the images in Preview, and save, and then go back to LR and save the LR changes "stick".
I've even gone to the parent folder (Folder01, Folder02) and set permsisions to 777 (using PathFinder 6), and applied to all enclosed items, and it still won't change them.  I'm looking at the same images in Finder and the permissions are read/write for all users and the images are not "locked".

Okay, got it. I'm a bit confused why I had to this, but I did and it worked.Here is the solution.
1. Go to my computer.
2. Right click on the hard drive and select properties
3. In the properties window, select the security tab
4. Then click the edit button
This is where it is weird. I'm logged in as an adminstrator, and the administrator account has allows all permissions (except special permission). You would think that since I'm working as in administrator mode, I could write into files. I can't.
So, I checked the user account (same name as my admin account). Here the follwong boxes were not checked.
1. Full control
2. Modify
3. Write
I made sure all three of those were checked and now I can write metadata into the DNG files.

    I got the message, "Photos have read-only access," when trying to save the metadata into a DNG file. I'm on windows 7, and just upgraded to Lightroom 5. The files in Windows have full write and read ability. What am I doing wrong? Or what box do I need to check or uncheck to be able to save my metadata into the DNG files. My catalogue is on an internal drive. The actual images are on an external drive.

  • Share iPhoto library: users have read only access

    I would like to share my iPhoto library with another user on my machine...BUT...I want them to have read only access to that library. I have done some searching and have only found solutions that give all users read/write access to the library. If anyone can help me do this I would really appreciate it.
    Furthermore, I would like to be able to give "no access" to the 2nd user on a file to file basis. For instance, I would like to import photos and set a few to "no access" and hopefully those files wouldn't show up in the 2nd users library but the rest would with read only access.
    Is this possible???

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Check out my post in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=369124&tstart=0. It will do exactly what you want. The other users will have their own library, can edit, delete or do what they want but the source files will be untouched. You could put them in a folder giving them Read access to the folder only and let them point their alias based library to that folder. Don't think you'd want to use the Shared folder as they would have access to the source files via the Finder that way.

  • Installation error  : You have read-only access to oracle inventory

    Hi guys,
    In some versions of Linux eg. Fedora, Ubuntu .. whenever I am installing Hyperion products I get this error " You have read-only access to oracle inventory". and also the thing worth noticing is, if this error comes Oracle doesn't install " OpenLDAP" which is required to run shared services.
    With Oracle Enterprise Linux, and everything seems to be fine. and I didn't got the above error also OpenLDAP gets installed.
    any help would be appreciated. attached is the screen shot for the error.

    HI,
    1. This would be handy

    2. In case OS is not supporting , you ll end up spending lot of time , and am sure openLDAP will trip time and again.

  • Read-only access when saving metadata to file from Adobe Lightroom on a MAC OS to Windows shared drive

    We have a group of 5 people editing and indexing photos to a shared drive on a windows server, everyone has its own catalog and working on different folders to avoid any locking conflicts.
    The windows computers don't have any problems but the Mac's don't write the updated metadata to all files because they get the message "Photos have read-only access".
    The environment is the following:
    2x Macs workstations running:
    - Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    - iMAC with MAC OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
    3x Windows Workstations:
    - Windows 7
    - Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    Server:
    - Shared drive on a Windows Server 2012 Standard
    I have searched the internet, no one has this problem with this exact setup but I have tried all the solutions I found, namely:
    1. Connect to the network drive with cifs:// protocol
    2. Change the settings of the nsmb.conf for 'smb1_only' protocol
    3. Mount the drive manually by command line
    Nothing worked, any ideas?

    Did you ever find a solution to this problem?  I have the same issue and wonder if Lightroom 6 will resolve it.  I  tried AFP, SMB2, SMB3 and they all failed to save metadata randomly. When I use NFS from OS X then it works fine but it's a little slower than SMB and it's not as native as the mount via AFP or SMB, so it's harder to maintain.     My server is a FreeNAS 9.2 (FreeBSD) which is running Samba, Netatalk and native NFS.

  • Read-Only Access to external hard drive

    I have a Fantom Drive 1 TB external hard drive connected to my computer. I only have "read only" access however. I've tried changing the permission to no avail. The readme.txt file for the drive says - "THIS DRIVE HAS BEEN PREFORMATTED FROM THE FACTORY USING THE NTFS FILE SYSTEM... NTFS has limited compatibility with Mac OS (requires 10.4 and newer, read only"
    Does this mean I'm out of luck or is there something I can do that will allow me read/write access to this drive?
    Thanks - Leah

    Natively in OSX, you only have read-only access to NTFS partitions. Here's a free utility that's supposed to work for what you want (I've not tried it):

  • Role for system data dictionary read-only access

    [NOTE: this is for 9i]
    What grants must a role have to have read-only access to
    the system data dictionary tables (e.g.: ALL_SOURCE,
    ALL_OBJECTS, ...)?
    Or, is there somewhere in the docs that talks about this
    kind of role?
    Thanks in advance,
    Robert

    Well, the answer to your explicit question would be that it would need SELECT on each of the data dictionary views that do not have SELECT granted to PUBLIC. To find out what those are, you could do:
    SELECT table_name, privilege
    FROM dba_tab_privs
    WHERE grantee = 'SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE'however, it would probably be easier just to grant it SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE :-)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You can't install 9.2.1 or earlier on any Mac that is only Mac OS X bootable. In fact you need to use the restore disks which came with those Macs to install 9.2.2 on those Macs. 8.6 is only possible to install on Macs which came with 8.6 or earlier. The 9.1 disk may be useful for your 1999 PowerMac G4, but won't be of any use for a 2006 Powerbook G4.

  • HT1178 I bought Time Capsule specifically to back up my computer at work. Only my computer. I completed the steps the best of my knowledge but I got the message, "This device & its network services will be temporarily unavailable. Are you sure you want to

    I bought Time Capsule specifically to back up my computer at work. Only my computer. There are many computers within my department. I completed the steps the best of my knowledge but was unsure of which option to click. I clicked "I want to create a new wireless network". At the onset the instructions said I needed to connect with an ethernet cable, which I did. But I have no desire to connect to the internet, print from it, or have others access. I did deselect guest options, and I did put in passwords. But at the end of the process I got the message, "This device & its network services will be temporarily unavailable. Are you sure you want to continue."
    I was worried this would shut me down and I wouldn't be able to continue to work. I don't necessarily need to connect wirelessly. It is connected via ethernet cable from machine to device.
    Can you advise me how to continue? Did I choose the wrong options?

    I bought an external hard drive called "Seagate Backup Plus" From the Apple store to back up everything on my computer and anything new on my computer. It came with Time Machine. The external hard drive disk had 1 or 2 Terabytes. Time Machine says "next backup: When disk is connected." "Oldest backup: July 2, 2014." & Also "Latest back July, 2."

  • WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none receive

    Hi,
    WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
    I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

    The answer to your question is - neither!
    Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Get an external hard drive on which to store some of your files after which you can
          erase the data from your internal drive to free up space.
      5. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      6. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      7. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

    I have installed ACDSee Pro3 and have problem to transfer photofiles from device: I got the message; The item could not be edited because you do not have sufficent access privileges or destination volume is no longer available." What can I do?

    Ask the ACDSee Pro support personnel. 
    With iPhoto that message means the library is a referenced library (photo not copied when imported into iPhoto's structure) and the source file is not where it was when first added to the library.  I don't know how ACDSee works. Does it have a referenced mode as opposed to copying photos into its structure?
