Ignore ownership box on disk info panel is missing.

I've lost one of my external disks and am using diskwarrior to attempt to rebuild the directory so I can move files off the drive. I'm on a macbook pro with tiger 10.4.8. Diskwarrior is version 4. After installing it when I try to run it errors out with an error about ownership not being sufficient in tiger and requests that I uncheck the ignore ownership box on the drive or the dmg (not sure which). In any case there is no ignore ownership box to uncheck on either device.
The device is a newly formatted boot device on which I freshly installed tiger. Neither the device nor the original disk in the macbook pro have this checkbox available. How can I restore the check box or how can I accomplish the same thing with another utility including chown or chmod?
thanks,
Mike

Thanks, I actually got by the ignore ownership problem. Someone elsewhere said that box shouldn't show up on the root/boot drive so I rebooted under the old boot and then looked at the newly inited boot device and there was the box. That got me past that problem. However now I can run disk warrior from a nonboot drive with the os installed but after agreeing to the license it fails with a message:
"An unserialized copy of Diskwarrior cannot be run from locked media, either restart
from the DiskWarrior disk cd or install disk warrior onto a hard disk."
There are lock checkboxes on the DiskWarrior DMG, the utilities folder and the applications folder in their respective disk info panels but they are all unchecked. There is no checkbox on the drive itself.I have no idea what this means and there are only two incidents of it on google neither of which are helpful. At this point I think I'm going to have to wait for alsoft Tech support.
thanks,
Mike

  • Finder get info ignore ownership on volume vs wgm sharing perms

    if I check "ignore ownership on volume" (finder > file > get info), how does this affect wgm sharing settings?
    i.e. Is it ignored if WGM handles the share?
    does it override wgm's settings?
    just wondering how they interact with each other, if at all....
    thanks in advance

    The "ignore ownership" box in the Finder's Info window completely disables local POSIX and ACL permissions, making the affected volume act like a removable disk. (Any user assumes POSIX ownership of the volume with full control.)
    If you want to use a volume to house a share point, do NOT check the ignore ownership box. Yes, you can share a volume with it checked, but with very unexpected results.
    Often people have trouble sharing FireWire disks because they don't check to see if the "ignore ownership" box is unchecked before attempting to share them.

  • "Ignore Ownership" when backing-up CDs and DVDs

    Dear members:
    While in the process of making back-up copies of my applications' CDs and DVDs I was surprised by a message from Retrospect stating that if I proceeded to duplicate the disk with the option "Ignore Ownership" checked important files would not be copied that allowed the duplicate to be bootable.
    Do any of you have experience with using Retrospect to duplicate CDs and DVDs ? Is this just a standard warning meant for duplicates of drives that have the operating system installed and that should be bootable copies ? Or could this affect my back-up copies ?
    I would prefer to leave the option "Ignore Ownership" checked as it is my understanding that it would allow the disk to be read by other computers instead of only mine. Is this right ? Could my back-up copies become corrupted or unusable if I leave the "Ignore Ownership" box checked ?
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Joseph Chamberlain

    Hi, Joseph.
    1. The "Ignore Ownership" warning is to ensure that you get a 100% accurate backup of the data you are backing up, including the privileges (Ownership and Permissions) associated with that data. Part of creating a 100% accurate backup includes backing up the filesystem information, such as the privileges associated with those files, not just the data files themselves.
    This is covered in the Retrospect User's Guide: see the information concerning the "Privileges Warning" on page 162. You can also find this by searching Retrospect Help for "Privileges Warning" and selecting the topic "OS X Preference" from the search results. This warning can be disabled in Retrospect's OS X Preferences, but one should leave it enabled for the reasons stated above.
    2. You wrote: "I would prefer to leave the option "Ignore Ownership" checked as it is my understanding that it would allow the disk to be read by other computers instead of only mine. Is this right?"No. For example, if you used Retrospect to Duplicate your Home folder to another folder on a FireWire drive, then connected that FireWire drive to a second Mac, you could simply select "Ignore Ownership..." in the Get Info window for the FireWire drive when its connected to the second Mac to have access to all the files in the duplicated folder on the FireWire drive. The "Ignore Ownership" setting is specific to the Mac using the disk/disc, not the disk/disc itself.
    3. Retrospect is generally not the right tool for backing up CDs and DVDs of the type you describe. Retrospect is designed primarily for backing up data on hard drives. This is generally the case with all Backup and Recovery utilities. You could use it to backup CDs or DVDs that contain only data.
    When backing up commercial CDs or DVDs there are a variety of other important issues to consider:
    - The first are legal issues, such as "Does the software license permit this?" or "Is this activity legal in my country?" If the answer to either question is "No" then you should not engage in that activity.
    - The second are formatting issues: while you may be able to backup the data and permissions bits off an optical disc, you may not be able to recreate a usable disc by burning the backup to another optical disc. For example, commercial DVDs generally employ some form of copy protection or encryption to prohibit or deter piracy. One can search MacUpdate or Version Tracker for specialized utilities for backing up various kinds of optical media so that one can create a usable disc, but one should not engage in these activities if they are illegal, either by license or by statute.
    - In some cases, there are no legal restrictions, e.g. a home movie of your family that you filmed with your video camera and from which you created a DVD with iDVD or DVD Studio Pro. In this case you're the copyright holder. For that case, there are instructions in the AppleCare Knowledge Base: see "How to copy previously-burned DVD-R video discs."
    Please note that all questions concerning Retrospect should be posted to the EMC Dantz Support Forums. These are like the Apple Discussions. Questions posted there are often answered by Dantz tech support personnel. Searching or posting to the Dantz forums are the best ways to find Retrospect answers quickly.
    Good luck!

  • External drive and IGNORE OWNERSHIP issue

    So here at work we share an external drive where we ALL share the files. And a good bit of the time one of us tries to open or save a file and it saws one of several things like "access denied" or "you don't have the right privileges and you will not be able to save changes" Anyway if I go in and get info on the external drive and click the "ignore ownerships" box all seems to be well...for a while. BUT the drive will sporadically decide to UNCHECK that button. It's very annoying. Any FIX for this issues.
    Oh, I also have it "locked" which I assume means it can't be changed but that is not the case. Any help is appreciated Thanks.

    Sorry, I don't know anything about Silverlining -- I'm a moderator at the Bombich (CCC) forums. If Silverlining allows for attaching a post-cloning script ask the Silverlining developer/distributor. If not, ask for help (even though the script will be pretty simple you may well need some troubleshooting until it works perfectly) in one of the scripting forums (AppleScript or Unix), e.g. this one.

  • Looking for "Startup Disk" Control Panel for OS 7.1

    Hi,
    For some reason the "Startup Disk" control panel is missing from my PowerBook 170 and it's not booting up nice like it should. I still like and use the old Mac PowerBook 170 for word processing. In many ways I even prefer it. Easy on the eyes and it keeps me off the internet.
    Does anyone know where I can find a copy the OS 7.1 > Control Panel > "Startup Disk"?

  • Another case of Soundfont panel/manager missing - Audigy ga

    I just recently had to completely reinstall my windows, so naturally I was doing a clean install of the Audigy drivers from my CD. Everything went smoothly, except when I started my AudioHQ it was completely missing the SF manager. I do alot of MIDI related stuff on my computer, so I would very much like to use this feature.
    I tried finding the SF manager thing on my installation disc manually (as someone else was instructed previously), but the directory that was referred to in the other post isn't on my disc, and I could not find the setup anywhere else either.
    I tried finding 3rd party software to load soundfonts into memory, but they all require that the SF manager has been installed.
    I found a zip package with the SF manager installation on the internet, but it crashes with "SURegCreateKey failed!". I suspect the setup isn't meant for my audio card.
    I might add that the soundfont system has worked perfectly for years, on all the various configurations and systems I had this audio card in, including this one (just two days ago, before I had to reinstall).
    I am using Windows 2000, the same as before. If there is need of any more specs, I'll supply them then.
    I would greatly appriciate any help or feedback.Message Edited by mckey on 05-22-2006 : AM

  • Anyone know Disk Utility, Ignore Ownership, and disk image DL DVD issues?

    I am currently having issues with backup DVD's I burned using Disk Utility. I can put the dual layer DVD's in and the system reads them. When I try to pull a file off the Dual Layer DVD a circle with an X appears notifying me that I cannot copy the files to my desk top.
    When I check the DVD's permissions it reads Admin (me) read and write with the ignore ownership checkbox checked...which means I should be able to pull files off the DVD. The only way I can currently get information off the DVD is to duplicate the entire disk to a new folder by selecting the DVD while holding down the Cntrl key and selecting duplicate. I have had other issues with DVD's and disk images in Leopard....including having to eject either through disk utility or by selecting the image with the Cntrl key held down. Finder eject, keyboard eject, and the menu eject selections suddenly report that the disk is in use.
    The DVD's were burned by creating a dual layer dvd image through disk utility with the read/write option checked.
    After duplicating 2-3 disks, the system itself is unable to mount any more disks from the series of backups. When I look at disk utility it reads that the disk is not mountable. I have to restart my computer so the system can continue to read the backups.
    My Itunes disk backups are marked the same way (ignore ownership) with admin read/write privlages....I have no problem pulling files off these disks.
    I have tried both logging in as root and booting from an external drive...same problem. Is this some nasty Disk Utility bug? Is anyone else having bizarre permission related issues with Disk Utility and Disk Images.

    When you create the image in Disk Utility, did you
    change the 'Partitions' setting?
    If you leave it to read 'CD/DVD', it will create a ISO9660/UDF image.
    To be able to maintain permission and extended file attributes, you
    need to select 'GUID Partition Map'.
    I assume you used iTunes to create your music backup?
    It seems it creates the correct image type for you.
    Before sending this message, I actually created a single layer image,
    copied some files to it and gave additional permissions to other users on my system.
    Afterwards I copied the files to my Desktop, verifying that the attributes are still intact.
    Best regards
    (It took quite a while to burn this 4x DVD-RW Anyways, I hope I could help)

  • "ignore ownership on this volume" not available

    I have a large external (Firewire) volume that is in the process of converting to core storage (FileVault) encryption. (I did not want to convert it, but did so by accident). It has been converting for a couple of days, and I have days more until the conversion is finished.
    Currently the permissions on the volume (as I said, it is an external volume) are completely whacked out
    * "Ignore ownership on this volume" is NOT available in the Finder Get Info window
    * Permissions for most folders and files are
         You have custom access
         Name             Privledge
         <Fetching>     Read & write
         staff               Read only
         everyone        Read only
    That is, it can't seem to figure out who the owner is for most of the files and folders. This means I cannot easily write files on the disk.
    Any thoughts other than (1) wait for encryption to finish and see if the problem goes away or (2) restore from back-ups? Restoring takes a couple of days, so I'd rather not do that.

    I attempted to uncheck ignore ownership for the same reason you describe for DiskWarrior 4.1. I followed the instructions in the panel "to unckeck ignore ownership for DW v 4.1". But since ignore ownership is not listed under Sharing & Permissions, I failed. Ignore ownership, as far as I can see, is no longer an option under Sharing & Permissions. I recall some one saying this was so, but at the time I did not pay enough attention to the remark.

  • How to "Ignore Ownership On This Volume" When Saving File to External Hard Drive?

    Hello,
    I just switched over from Photoshop CS3 pc platform to the MAC version, and it gives me the message that I can't save what I've I've just done - I have my photo files on an external Seagate Free Agent Hard Disk - When I followed the instructions to "Select Disk/Choose File/Get Info/Click Disclosure Triangle next to Sharing & Permissions" - Then after I did all of this, there was no option to select "Ignore ownership on this volume." Instead, the only thing it said was, This is read only."
    Surely, I don't have to give permission to save each and every file - This is a very serious hobby for me, but I am doing it out of my home, and no one else at this time uses my computer.
    Before submitting this request, I called Apple support first, and they tried doing a Disk scan and repair of the permissions, but this was only for the internal Macintosh HD drive, not the external one that is related to this incident.
    Thanks For Your Help ahead of time!
    Also, this might should be saved for another separate question, but I had to set change my resolution to 1920 X 1200 - The text, etc, was much too large for especially doing anything in Photoshop. This new iMac has a 3.06/4 GB RAM/1 TB internal HD/NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Graphics Card.

    Buko-
    To tell you the truth - and I apologize for that statement - I woke up early this morning, and it hit me that I took what Lundberg02 said earlier the wrong way! So, I couldn't wait to get back on and apologize to him and all of you - And I hope that you will forgive me.
    When I think about it now, perhaps he is right - This may not have been a pertinent place for me to insert this question. But after spending a long time with Apple about it, and then Seagate - I decided that the only other place I could go was to ask you guys. I thought, perhaps someone here had encountered the same problem when switching from pc to Mac platform. But perhaps I shouldn't have.
    Actually, Seagate - I think - solved the problem, at least this erase procedure was working after two hours - until I decided that I'd cancel it, and take it back to Costco for a refund, which I did. And the Seagate rep told me that he didn't blame me, because the drive was getting a little old, and if I used their warranty program, I'd probably gotten a refurbished one, anyway. So, all of this trouble I've put you good people through has gone "for naught".
    But hopefully, you'll be acceptable in the future when I ask more applicable questions, when my wheels really start spinning. Otherwise, I probably won't come here that often, anyway. I just enjoy fixing up old black family photos and coloring some of them. And I got the basics down. You know, like cloning, healing, and layering them to death!!
    Thanks for understanding - And for forgiving me.

  • Old Macmini ignores ownership on external HD's, new Macmini does not.

    Hi - my old Mac mini has a couple of external HD's set to "ignore ownership on this volume", as they are just storing personal files, one backing up the other nightly. I transferred them to a new Macmini, only to find my backup software won't update from one external to the other (permissions type error messages), and the "ignore ownership on this volume" checkboxes on each are not checked, and greyed out.
    I've tranferred the HD's back to the old Macmini, and presto the "ignore ownership on this volume" boxes are now checked again. How can I make this behaviour transfer safely to the new comp?

    Thank you! I haven't yet dared try this, but I've found the following info that explains those commands in a fashion even I could understand - I take it this will work for all enclosed folders too? -
    chmod stands for "Change Mode".
    The numbers part is a little more complicated.... "777" is three numbers..to be nerdy and specific.. it is three 3 digit binary (base 2) numbers converted into three 1 digit octal (base 8) numbers.
    The first number stands for "user", the second group stands for "group" and the final number stands for "other". There are three possible things that can be done with a file: read, write, and execute.. Here is a little reference:
    execute = 001 in binary = 1 in octal
    write = 010 in binary = 2 in octal
    read = 100 in binary = 4 in octal
    So where does the 7 come from?
    7 in binary = 111 in decimal = read, write, execute
    So you get:
    read write execute = 111 = 1 + 2 + 4 = 7
    read write no execute = 110 = 4 + 2 = 6
    read no write execute = 101 = 4 + 1 = 5
    read no write no execute = 100 = 4
    no read write execute = 011 = 2 + 1 = 3
    no read write no execute = 010 = 2
    no read no write execute = 001 = 1
    no read no write no execute = 000 = 0
    <http://www.websitebabble.com/uploading-files-ftp/1667-what-chmod-777-a.html>
    I'll have a go in the next few days (will need to switch the HD's back to the new comp first etc) when I'm feeling brave.

  • Finder - "Get Info" - "More Info" panel has NO information any more!

    Hello all,
    Can you help a slider out? My new MacBook Pro has a problem with the Finder. When I use the Finder, File, Get Info (or Command I), to get info about a file, in particular, a graphic file, I used to see stuff in the "More Info" panel. I use the image size information (e.g., 512 x254 pixels and the actual memory size) to quickly keep track of graphics for my web pages.
    Well, for ALL file types now, I get NO "More Info" information in the panel. All the other panels, "General", Name & Extension", "Open with", "Preview" and "Ownership & Permissions" work fine.
    I fixed disk permissions via the Install DVD and deleted the com.apple.finder.plist and neither of these have helped resurrect my "More Info" information.
    I am running 10.4.10 and this is only on my machine. On the other 2 in our household, the panel works as it always has.
    HELP, I miss my "More Info" info!
    TIA,
    Dave

    I am also encountering the same issue...in addition, I'm having trouble installing Google Sketchup Pro 6, I believe there may be some sort of correlation between the two?

  • How to make my old file info panel from photoshop work in xmp

    Help. Not a photoshop guy but rather a genealogist. Many years ago downloaded a custom file info panel for photoshop which I used to enter meta text about the family photos I scanned. Currently using adobe creative cloud but cant figure out how to use panel or see most of my metatext last few version. Below is information about the panel. All I really want to do is install my panel and get back to genealogy. I apologize but not sure I need to understand the basics of photoshop..

    This is the authors description of the panel:
    Genealogy Photo (Private Collection) Custom File Info Panel 1.0 for Photoshop. 11 FEB 2007
    Developed by Ron Reiger [email protected]
    Please contact me to suggest improvements.
    1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
    3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
    4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    1. BASIS FOR THIS CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    The Custom File Info Panel is used to capture metadata about a genealogy/family history photo that is privately held (that is, the photo is not in the possession of a library). The metadata property names on the File Info Panel are based on my interpretation of the recommended primary citation for a photograph (private possession) (annotated, with provenance) as described on page 95 of Elizabeth Shown Mill's "Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian" and on my interpretation of recommended primary citation for an Electronic File (Image from Private Files - Annotated), Mills, "Citation!", page 81. I added a few more property names for location and date the photo was taken and keywords (to ID people by number rather than by name), the name of the person who provided the description, a surety for their description, and an informal description. Each field is discussed below.
    2. DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROPERTY NAME
    Date Scanned: This is the date the photo was scanned. Date is populated by Photoshop and is not editable.
    Provider: The owner of the photo as of the date it was scanned. A researcher in a future generations will know who had the photo at a particular point in time.
    Provenance: Describe as best you can how the photo got from the person in the photo to the Provider.
    Description Provided By: List the person who identified the people and location in the image.
    Description Surety: (This is an open text field. You can use any surety rating system you want.) Describe or rate the quality of the Description of the image's people and location. Note any uncertainties regarding any particular people in the photo.
    Complete Subject Description: List the full name of each individual in the image, in order. You may want to list the location and date of the image even though there are separate property names for that data.
    Informal Subject Description: An optional non-genealogical description of the image, perhaps for using the photo outside of genealogy. Example Informal Subject Description: "Grandpa as a young man."
    Media Description: Describe the paper photo you scanned. Dimensions, border, frame, damage, etc. Your ancestors will have an easier time finding the paper photo later if you describe it well!
    Annotations: Copy any annotations on the front or back of the photo and frame. Transcribe any photographer embossing/imprint; this is a clue for dating/locating photos.
    Special Editing/Alterations: Describe any restoration you performed on the digital image. Did you correct for the lateral reverse of a tintype or daguerreotype?
    City/County: List the City/County where the image was taken.
    State: List the State where the image was taken.
    Country: List the County where the image was taken.
    Photo Date: List the date the image was taken.
    Keywords: This is the standard keyword entry. Commas or semicolons can be used to separate keywords. I type the TMG ID number of each person in the photo here so I can search for all photos of the person without typing their name.
    3. WHERE EACH PROPERTY NAME MAPS & OTHER NOTES
    I have not created a working namespace URI or rdf ala http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ for this panel. I have not created localization dictionary files for this panel. Data entered into the panel will appear in Adobe Bridge. As you can see below I re-used lots of pre-existing property names and dumped all my new property names into the photoshop namespace. I don't know if this approach has drawbacks.
    Date Scanned:                xmp_path: 'CreateDate'   Pre-existing property name
    Provider:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Credit'    Pre-existing property name
    Provenance:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Provenance'
    Description Provided By:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionProvidedBy'  Pre-existing property name
    Description Surety:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DescriptionSurety'
    Complete Subject Description:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Description'   Pre-existing property name
    Informal Subject Description:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Caption'   Pre-existing property name
    Media Description:   xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'MediaDescription'
    Annotations:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Annotations'
    Special Editing/Alterations:  xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'SpecialEditing'
    City/County:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'City'    Pre-existing property name
    State:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'State'    Pre-existing property name
    Country:     xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'Country'   Pre-existing property name
    Photo Date:    xmp_namespace: photoshop, xmp_path: 'DateCreated'   Pre-existing property name
    Keywords:               xmp_path: 'Keywords'   Pre-existing property name
    4. WHERE TO INSTALL THE CUSTOM FILE INFO PANEL
    I have tested this panel with Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge CS2 only.  It may not work on earlier versions.  FWIW a malformed Custom File Info Panel will fail to load in File Info; it won't crash Photoshop.
    The following was taken from "XMP Custom Panels," Adobe, Oct 2003.
    Each time an Adobe application opens the File Info dialog, it scans all the files in these directories and appends them to the file list. If more than one of the description files has
    the same panel name, the one found in the last file to be loaded is added, and others are ignored.
    Changes to the contents of the directories do not require you to reload an application; changes are automatically reflected in the dialog the next time it is opened.
    The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Creative Suite applications:
    Mac OS X
    {Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
    {Home Directory}/Library/Application/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels
    Windows
    \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
    \Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\XMP\Custom File Info Panels
    The panel description and localization dictionary files must reside in the following locations for use with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or 6.0:
    Mac OS X
    {Root Volume}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
    {Home Directory}/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Custom File Info Panels
    Windows
    \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\\Custom File Info Panels
    \Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Custom File Info Panels
    I actually do not understand how to write a panel but here is the actual panel:
    <?xml version="1.0">
