"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.

Suggestion - At No 6, after "...section is not checked"., add "If you do not see Ignore ownership on this volume, make sure that you unlocked the lock at bottom right." - it's OK for the techies of the world but many of us need as much info as possible.
Wrong forum. Post to Time Machine feedback.

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.

Set "Ignore ownership on this volume" to be on by default
Hello, I have a MacPro loaded with 10.5 server that I use frequently for backing up customer data via USB or Firewire. The MacPro is in a locked room and is relatively isolated from the network. I am looking for a way to set "Ignore ownership on this volume" to be checked by default for any/all drives I plug into the machine. This would be a huge time save for me. Thank you!
Hi Alfredo,
I can't test this at the moment, but I have a theory!
One would think that setting iTunes to a FW Dive would need to change the Permissions to control Sharing of iTunes content.
My iTunes was set to another internal drive and had the same Ignore unchecked and owned by system, I unchecked it and changed it back to my boot drive, the Get Info change Me to owner & kept the Ignore checked... setting it back to the other Drive did not change those settings, but I suspect that a Reboot would... how else could Apple control Sharing of songs? -
Problem moving Time Machine backup in Mavericks (missing "Ignore ownership on this volume")
In order to move Time Machine backup it is necessary to Make sure "Ignore ownership on this volume" at the bottom of the "Sharing & Permissions:" section is not checked.
However, this option has disappeared from Volume info window after upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.
Any idea how I can find this?
Thank you.Once you're in the TM interface you will see a basically normal Finder window (with a lot of weird graphics, hence its other name The Star Wars interface )
On the right of the screen is the timeline allowing you to move backward and forward in time. Once you find what you want you can select the files or folders and restore.
As in the normal Finder multiple selections are allowed. I suggest you play around with it a bit at first and try restoring a file or a few files or folders just to get a feel for it.
good luck

HT202380 Do I have to check "Ignore ownership on this volume" again, after copying is done?
Do I have to check "Ignore ownership on this volume" again, after copying is done? Thanks. Alex
Sorry I thought the context was clear. I followed the instructions on how to transfer a timemachine backup from one disk to another (linked above). One step in the howto is to uncheck "Ignore ownership on this volume". I was wondering if it is important to check it afterwards.

PS CS4 Scratch Disk Ownership on this Volume Problems
I have a second hard drive selected as a scratch disk for Photoshop CS4 but PS won't start unless a check is put in the box "Ignore ownership on this volume". However that won't stay checked and I keep having to go into "Get Info" and rechecking that box. That check box is not on my main boot drive but it seems to be on every other drive. This wasn't an issue for a long time and then suddenly it started happening recently even though I haven't made any changes to my setup. Any ideas how to make that setting stick??
As long as you understand the security risk there's no other reason for avoiding that option. However, as long as you are the only one writing to these other drives, then there's no need to ignore permissions. You would always have access to your own files.

does my macbook air have a built in virus scan? how can I access and use it? also any recommendations of what software if this is not avail ?
Contrary to what Geeks on Hugs is telling you, Mac OS X does indeed have a basic malware scanner. It is not a feature that is directly accessible to the user, and works a bit differently than every other malware scanner out there. Gatekeeper, which has been mentioned here, is entirely separate, and provides a different method for helping to protect you against malware.
The anti-malware scanner in Mac OS X is called XProtect. When you download an application (or any other kind of executable code), it is automatically "quarantined," so that when you open it you're asked if you really want to do that. I'm sure you're very familiar with this aspect of Mac OS X if you have ever downloaded any apps from outside the App Store. What you don't know, though, is that each time you try to open a new app, that app is checked by XProtect. If it is identified as malware, you will not be allowed to open it, and will be warned that it's malware.
At this time, there is no known malware that can infect a properly up-to-date Mac. All current malware will be blocked by one or more methods.
For more information, see my Mac Malware Guide.

upgraded to Yosemite and now can't update Iphoto or Imovies receiving message this update not available for this apple ID because it was bought by a different user or item refunded or cancelled. Is there an easy fix
Unfortunately, anything obtained at the app store remains tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it forever. You will either have to start over with your new ID or try to recover the original ID.

One TV keeps getting message this channel not available
OK so one TV an older one, in my home keeps getting the message this channel not available. I went through ll the trouble shooting steps. My other two TVs are fine but they are new one's. This is my grandpas' old one.
I'm sure it happens to many channels from time to time, because that is what happens to me. On the DVR or on the HD STB. Tonight I sat down to watch the Yankees play the Phillies on ESPN. My 2 favorite teams, very excited. At first ESPN doesn't load, then I get the BSOD w/ the white letters in the middle of the screen telling me the channel is unavailable. It provides me w/ 2 options. Option 1 is to switch away from this channel and back again (didn't work). Option 2 is to call the toll free number, input a code and everything will be fine.
So I called the toll free number, entered the codes as prompted, and listened to the robot lady while she reset my DVR. She told me to look for the yellow light to the left of the display after the reset and if the yellow light wasn't there, to turn on the DVR using the power button on the DVR. I did not see the yellow light, so I turned the power on as instructed by the robot lady. However, still no yellow light. The robot lady is only prompting me to say next, repeat the instructions for the #%&^*(*&%@!!!#%$^ yellow light, or say problem fixed. When I took her up on her offer of more info, she simply repeated the thing about the yellow light.
How about adding a prompt to her repertoire asking if the yellow light isn't there.... I guarantee this will be the most used prompt.
Meanwhile, I am too experienced and sane to call for tech support, live chat is always unavailable, so I am left waiting for some verizon kool-aid-drinking "guru" to tell me my coax is bad in the forums.
Good night. -
