Image Capture: permissions issue on imported images...

Hello.
I've noticed that, when using Image Capture to import images from an iPhone, the resulting images that are imported are assigned the following permissions:
Owner (me) = Read & Write
Everyone Else = No Access
This causes an issue later in one of my worflows because a user other than myself is trying to access these images and can't (because they don't have permission). For example, I have a folder that I copy certain images to that I want displayed on my Apple TV (via iTunes). But, because of the "Everyone Else = No Access" permissions, the Apple TV is unable to displaying these images. Images from other sources (for example, copy from a point & shoot camera's SD card using Finder) have the correct permissions, so when copied to the images folder the Apple TV accesses, the Apple TV has no issues displaying these images.
I've tested this on two separate Macs running Mountain Lion (both running 10.2.8) and the same thing happens on both machines.
Anyone have any suggestions on fixing this on the Image Capture level? Currently, I've writen a script that fixes the permissions on import, but that's not a permanent fix.
Thanks,
Kristin.

I noticed after upgrading to Snow Leopard that images imported with Image Capture have "No Access" for Everyone.  I used Image Capture a lot under Leopard and Everyone had "Read Only" or "Read & Write" permissions.  Before and after the upgrade, I stored the images folders I created (with Image Capture) in a Shared/Pictures folder.
I couldn't find any answers on why the permissions are set this way by Image Capture with Snow Leopard.  I found this article http://www.ehow.com/how_2314896_fix-permissions-mac-os-x.html which at least helped me change the permissions of all images in a given folder.
Seems one should not have to change the permissions after importing images....

    I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be selected. Any thoughts? TIA

    Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
    Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

  • Permissions Issues

    I am sure that most of you who read these forums already know about recent updates that create permissions issues. I was not sure how to deal with them and needed to verify for myself what was causing them and to convince myself that they are benign. I just wanted to share the evidence with you that I monitored over a day. Specifically, what is causing these benign permissions errors are three Apple updates: Front Row Update (2.1.7) 13.3 MB (worst offender), iTunes (8.1) 65.4 MB, and iLife Support (9.0.1) 3.7 MB. I assume Apple has heard about this by now. Here are my lengthy test results:

    CONCLUSION: This is one of Apple's infamous permissions error that just "has to be ignored" and will not get fixed.

    SOFTWARE UPDATE RUN
    Updates Listed:
    MESSAGE: "Your software is up to date."
    FINAL CONCLUSION:
    The following installers create unusual Permissions issues that do not seem to go away but seem to not be a danger.
    Front Row Update (2.1.7) 13.3 MB (worst offender)
    iTunes (8.1) 65.4 MB
    iLife Support (9.0.1) 3.7 MB

    GWD2008,
    I too am having permissions issues with Front Row, iTunes, and iLife it happen just after the update. However researching into the problem they are just shortcuts to an original files. Which on the original files Permissions are correct and the reason the permissions are wrong on the shortcuts is because of the little l. I was unable to fix the permission error myself in Terminal and in Finder. And in my opinion as long as the programs are running with no problems its nothing to be to concerned over. As for ACL or SUID files you can just ignore according to apple. See this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Resolution
    You can safely ignore any "SUID file" or "ACL found but not expected..." message. These messages are accurate but are not a cause for concern.

  • Permissions issue only the FIRST time I try to overwrite a file.

    I've a standard user account and I've found overwriting protected files is bugged in Leopard.
    As an example: every time I'm upgrading Camino web browser with the latest nightly build (by dragging the new version from it's disk image, and into the Applications folder) I get a permissions issue the first time only. As usual I am warned I will need to authenticate, then I am warned I will be replacing a file, then the first time only I get told I do not have sufficient privileges on one or more items to continue. The second time I try I am allowed to progress to the authentication window where I enter my admin username and password and the operation completes.
    The same thing happens with other files I'm trying to overwrite that are located in protected folders (I just use Camino as an example because it is a daily occurrence). But it ONLY happens the first time.
    This has persisted through three erases of my brand new iMac's HD and clean installations of Leopard. I have of course run Disk Utility multiple times to repair the HD (no errors found) and repair permissions (just the usual ACL errors every Leopard user faces).

    Hi,
    What's the error message did you get? It would be better to provide a screenshot for your problem.
    Generally speaking, this problem can be caused by third party adds-on of IE. You can try to start IE with no adds-on mode for test.
    Open run, type iexplore -extoff, pess
    Enter.
    If it works properly, please chck which plugin enabled in your browser, try to disable them for test.
    In addition, this can also be caused by IE settings, try to reset IE for test.

  • Frustrating permissions issue.

    I recently moved my account to a new machine and have got an interesting permissions issue that's preventing me from editing a lot of files, even though my user has read/write permissions. If you look at the attached image, there is an extra "everyone" with "custom" permissions. I can't remove it although if I change it to read/write, I can edit the file but obviously I don't want to get everyone read/write access. How can I strip the extra stuff here? And i'd like to find a way to do it for my entire home folder since there are files like this everywhere..

    Launch Applications/Utilities/Terminal
    At the prompt copy and paste this command...
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    You will be prompted to enter your admin password, it will be invisible.

  • Permissions Issue, Colour Wheel, Hard Drive Issue??

    Hi!
    I have had issues with my mid 2009 MBP recently and I'm wondering what the best way to fix them would be. 
    First off, I have some major permissions issues with my accounts.  I am using 3 different users regualrly on the same machine and needed to access files from the home folder so I changed them a long time ago, and am not sure how to fix that.  I have repaired the permissions countless times in the disk utility and it seems like there's always loads more to do each time.  When I varify the disk, it says its all okay.
    Secondly, I have had the machine freeze on me several times while doing very little on it.  This happened awhile ago, and thought that it was just the permisions thing and so I did that again, and it started working better, for awhile.  It would go a few days or weeks before doing the same thing, sometimes not even getting past the apple logo on startup before freezing.  This makes me think it may be a hard drive issue???????
    This morning, I tried dozens of times to boot, with no success at all.....  until about the 25th time when it miraculasly booted.  I have run permissions repair a few more times and it seems to be working okay at the moment, but the problem seems to be happening more often over time. 
    To complicate matters, I am traveling at the moment and will not be home for several months.  I purchased an external harddrive last night and was able to successfully back up my data. 
    Question 1: Is it the permissions that are causing these problems, or is it related to something else.  The computer seems to work fine when its working, and then once in awhile, decides its not going to do anything. 
    Question 2:  Would upgrading to Lion (currently running 10.6.8) fix the permissions issues or just carry them forward?  I would like to consolidate the 3 users into one, if that would solve it.  Does the migration utility preserve permissions or does it give you a brand new start?
    Question 3:  If neither solving the permissions or the OS upgrade would fix the problem and it does need a new harddrive, is it possible to buy one and install it myself?  I do not have apple care left on this machine and am on a very tight budget.  I am used to taking things apart and all that as part of my job and it seems simple enough.  Where can you buy a replacement?? 
    Hopefully someone out there will be able to help me out on this one. 
    Cheers!!!!

    Disk Utility permissions are separate from User account permissions.
    This link is how to fix them

    Disk Utility will always show something to be needing repair, but that's ok

    Verify Disk is good, that's a good thing.

    Your data is backed up, hopefully not with TimeMachine alone, but if you did, then get another drive and backup data manually to that as well. If the TM drive gets messed up, it's a pain to get your data off of it.
    Question 1: Is it the permissions that are causing these problems, or is it related to something else.  The computer seems to work fine when its working, and then once in awhile, decides its not going to do anything.
    Well you could call Apple for replacement 10.6.x disks, and just reinstall 10.6 and bundled programs, but this can kick out kext files out of the /System/Library/Extensions folder installed by some third party software.
    This method fixes OS X, but doesn't touch your files or most programs.
    Nor will this method fix your Users accounts if the issue is in there.
    A creation of a new user, then deletion of the others, return files from backup (set permissions) will fix User folder issues if the above user permissions fix doesn't work.
    (Of course you could wipe the drive from the 10.6 disk, but you have to install all software again)
    Would upgrading to Lion (currently running 10.6.8) fix the permissions issues or just carry them forward?
    No, you don't want to install Lion, it won't fix those issues in User folders, not only that Lion has it's own issues and doesn't work with a lot of older software etc.   No use clusterfscking a already bad situtation when it's seems it's only localized to the User accounts.
    I would like to consolidate the 3 users into one, if that would solve it.
    Yes that could very nicely and tidy up things in the process.
    What you do is transfer all files to one regular powered storage hard drive.
    (Don't use/disconnect the TimeMachine drive for this as it preserves the users seperated and you don't want all those users back restoring  with Migration Assistant)
    Create the New User on the machine as Admin, log into it and delete all the other Users, transfer all your files back from the regular storage drive, changing all the permissions to yourself before placing them into their respective folders as they will have three different permissions.
    Notes:
    If you have a extensive iTunes playlists on one User (say #1), then create the new user with that same name (will require some work, create User 4, delete Users 1-3, reboot, create User 1, delete User 4) then transfer your iTunes folder to Music of that User 1 (same name as before). This will preserve the pathnames of your song locations and your playlists will be preserved.
    (before you ask, no you can't combine playlists)
    Also if you have photo's in iPhoto Library, you have to right click on it and "show package contents" inside is a folder called Originals, copy them out and import into the iPhoto of the User #1.
    Does the migration utility preserve permissions or does it give you a brand new start?
    Yes it preserves user permissions, no it doesn't give you a brand new start. Only a fresh install, creation of new users and then just transferring of files does that.
    Nothing about TimeMachine or Migration Assistant gives one a "fresh start", it's if hosed, so is your restore.
    If you want that sort of pristine protection, you need to clone your ideal boot partition/drive using Carbon Copy Cloner (free/donationware) occasionally as a hold the option key bootable drive, then you can erase and reverse clone the pristine saved clone.
    One can also update the clone on occasion, this way keeping the clone pristine.
    I maintain 3 clones time dated, even have my boot drive partitioned 50/50 and auto-cloned, this way I have two boot partitions on the road and two externals at home.
    I never use TimeMachine, it's not bootable (well it is on 10.7.2 only to restore though)

  • ITunes can't sync - permissions issues

    I am receiving permissions issues when trying to sync my iPhone with iTunes.  This just started in the last week. 
    Background: When we purchased the iMac, we imported users from an old system.  The user IDs were different.  I have had to reset users on several of the system files over time.  In this case, I can't determine which files need to be reset to allow my phone to be sync'd.
    The following errors are in the console messages.  I have also recreated the Address Book and set the user ID on it again to make sure it can sync.

  • IPhoto / Aperture Video Export - Permissions Issue?

    Hello all,
    Setup:
    iMac 3.4ghz i7 16GB RAM
    OSX 10.8.1
    iPhoto 9.3.2
    Aperture 3.3.2
    I'm having an issue that's driving me nuts.  I'm not sure how to articulate this properly so I'll walk you through the issue.
    User 1 shoots video on iPhone 4
    User 1 plugs iPhone into iMac and imports files into iPhoto / Aperture Library
    User 1 can play videos in iPhoto or Aperture without issue.
    User 2 merges their iPhoto / Aperture Library with User 1's.  (File > Import to Library > Select User 1 Library)
    Libraries merge with no problem except for videos.  Videos appear in User 1's Library with yellow "!" and cannot be played.  Thumbnails are black.
    Pictures merge perfectly without problems.
    User 1 exports a video from iPhoto (File > Export)
    Kind = original
    Destination = desktop
    Video successfully exports to desktop.  User 1 can play the video using quicktime.  Video appears on desktop with full thumbnail.
    User 1 copies exported video to shared directory for User 2 to grab.  Appears identical as desktop file when viewed from User 1 account.
    User 2 navigates to shared directory and can see file.  But no thumbnail.  Only a quicktime icon.
    User 2 tries to launch video and receives the following error:  "The document “Name.MOV” could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13)"
    I cannot locate any documentation of this occurence anywhere.  My wife and I each have an account on the iMac.  She imported video of our recent vacation to iPhoto.  I also imported video from my phone and imported via iPhoto.  Actually, I use Aperture.  When she merges her library with mine, no problems.  Everything comes over nicely.  When I merge her library with mine, I get pictures but the videos don't come over properly.  I can see thumbnails or placeholders for them in my library, but I cannot play them.  Again, switch to her account and they play just fine. 
    I hypothesize that this is a permissions issue.  I noticed that when exporting video from her iPhoto the permission for the "everyone" account = "No Access".  I have also successfully played her exported video by changing "everyone" to "read only" and adding the "Admin" account and doing the same.  Once I do that, the quicktime icon changes to a thumbnail and I can play the video from my account.  I believe that whatever is causing this permissions issue is also preventing videos from being merged between the two libraries. 
    Now, the only difference between my account login and my wife's is that she does not have a password on hers.  Actually, her password is blank.  My next step is to place a password on her account and try this again.  I'll report back with my findings.  In the interim, has anyone run into this issue before???

    Okay, as I'm working through this I see that I have to add the "Admin" account to each file with "read only" permission.  Simply changing the "everyone" account access does nothing. 
    So how do I change the permissions settings in iPhoto or Aperture to give each exported file the desired permissions?  I cannot locate a setting in the iPhoto or Aperture applications.
    Also, I added a password to the user account.  It did not change how files are output.

  • Reporting Services Point - possibly permissions issue

    I'm having a really hard time configuring a working reporting services point in my test SCCM 2012 R2 environment and was hoping someone might be able to help me work out what's gone wrong.
    My servers are WS2008 R2.  SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed on the primary site server and holds the site database.  I installed SSRS onto a separate site server and added it as a reporting services point.  This worked, and I see the list of
    reports in the SCCM admin console.  However, when I try to run a report - either from the console or via web browser - I get this message:
    The default value expression for the report parameter 'usertokensids' contains an error.  There are no logon servers available to service the logon request. (rsRuntimeErrorInExpression)
       at Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ServerReportSoapProxy.OnSoapException(SoapException e)

    SMSAdminUI.log shows this message:
    [25, PID:3096][06/12/2014 11:24:05] :[fqdnofprimaryserver] : The request failed with HTTP status 503: Server Error.
    Now, the reason I think this is a permissions issue is because srsrp.log on the Reporting Point server shows this:
    (!) Error retrieving folders - [Login failed for user 'domain\reportingservercomputername$'.].
    (I've removed the actual name here, obviously.)
    I'm really puzzled about what's going on here, what is trying to authenticate with the SSRS server's machine credentials, and what for.  Looking in SQL Server Management Studio on the primary site server which hosts the SQL database, I can see that
    the account has a login listed and it has its default schema listed as DBO.  On the SSRS server, in Reporting Services Configuration Manager, the Report Server Service Account is set to a dedicated domain user account.  The Current Report Server
    Database Credential is set to my own Windows login using Current User - Integrated Security - I can't seem to get it to accept the dedicated user account.
    Can anyone help me figure out what's gone wrong and how I fix it, please?  I'm by no means a SQL person, and I'm at my wit's end with this!
    Thanks,
    M

    The plot thickens.
    The SSRS server has these:
    "The report server has detected a possible denial of service attack. The report server is dropping requests for service from the IP address 192.168.113.163" (this is the IP address of the primary site system, which hosts the SQL database)
    and then
    "Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database"
    The primary site system, meanwhile, has got thousands of these:
    "Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\SSRSSERVERNAME$'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: 192.168.113.164]" (that's the IP of the SSRS server)
    The Windows firewall is off for both systems.  They're on an isolated test network.  I still don't understand where the setting is that tells it to make SQL queries using the SSRS server's machine account, rather than the dedicated service account
    I created.
    Any more ideas?  Thanks for your help so far - I really appreciate it!

  • How do I migrate from one user to another to resolve sleep/permissions issues?

    My MacBook Pro's been having several issues, mainly with waking from sleep. I've tried Repairing Permissions, Repair Disk, running tools like OnyX and Drive Genius, but they can't find any issues. I checked the Console log, and there was some sort of denial from displaying the login window after I woke up from sleep.
    Initially I thought this had to do with some of my peripherals being plugged in when I already had the lid closed; the Mac would wake up, not realize the lid was closed, and never go back to sleep. Nothing--keyboard or trackpad touches--would wake the machine up. I'd have to hard reset by holding the Power button on.
    I had an Apple Genius suggest that I create a new user and test it out with the (same) default sleep settings as the buggy user account. It wakes up from sleep lightning fast, and has thus far never had any issues.
    I'm leaning toward sticking with this new user and migrating over my things bit by bit, to try and avoid potential permissions issues. But since I don't know where the source of this sleep problem lies, how should I go about it?
    I've read through Pondini's Transfer Guide here http://pondini.org/OSX/Transfer.html, but I'm just wondering where people would start, knowing that the machine has had permissions issues with some files. (The permissions issues, btw, I believe were caused by a mangled Time Machine restore. I replaced my internal HD with another one, but the Time Machine/Migration Assistant restore wasn't complete. I did it a second time from within the user account that got created, then tried to delete the malformed one and rename the complete one, but that's when the issues started.)

    I wasn't intending to move the entire home folder, rather, moving things like what's inside my Documents folder in chunks.
    From what I read, tracking down the origin of sleep/wake problems on a computer is notoriously hard, especially if Disk Utility and similar tools don't give any clues during Repair Disk or Repair Permissions. Creating the new user seemed to help, but I don't know why that alone would "fix" anything, so I haven't moved any files as of yet nor done anything with the new user account.
    Trying to move the things from my Library folder to my desktop also seems a bit risky; it's hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion because a lot of system files are there, right? Wouldn't moving them cause problems, not just help me find what file/folder (if any) could be the culprit?

  • "screen shot can't be saved" and other permissions issues

    After having my iMac at the Apple Store for four days solving a problem with "quit unexpectedly" issues with all Apple built-in Apps on OS X Yosemite, I got the machine back with those problems solved.  It involved re-installing OS X and restore files from backup.  I thought all was well; the Genius Bar dude showed me that it's fixed. He said it took so long because of bizarre permissions issues he'd never seen before.
    Now that I've lugged this 40lb machine back home (after verifying the fixes in the store) I now find that several (other) functions don't work.  When I try to do a screenshot, I get this message:"Your screen shot can't be saved.  You don't have permission to save this file in the location where screen shots are stored."  Message could have been more helpful; the "location" is the desktop.  Pretty descriptive, though.  Seems I can't save anything to the desktop.
    I tried creatng a folder on the desktop.  Got this message: "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this".  Type password and new folder appears.  Drag the new folder to the trash, get same message..
    I tried copying a file from a network drive to the desktop. I get this dialog: "Modifying Desktop requires and administrator name and password.  I clicked "authenticate" and after a 3 minute delay (with "Preparing.." ) I get this dialog; "Finder wants to make changes.  Type your password to allow this".  I type the password and the file appeared on the desktop.  Before the work at the Apple Store, this never happened.  BTW I have only one user account and it's marked "Allow user to administer this computer".  Thinking something might be goofy with the pw, I changed it (took 3 minutes to do, oddly) and rebooted. No joy. Same thing happens when I try to drag something from the desktop to the trash.  Long time "moving" message followed by having to provide and admin pw.
    I tried to save a Safari attachment to the Downloads folder and got this message: "Safari could not download the file xxxxx because there is not enough free disk space".  Since I have more than 600GB of available space, I think the message is wrong and that it's really a permission issue with the Downloads folder.
    Tried to reset the password again.  Click to unlock the Users & Groups panel, get "System Preferences is trying to unlock Users & Groups preferences.  Type your password to allow this".
    All this tells me that somehow Yosemite is in "nag" mode (reminiscent of Windows Vista.
    Any ideas?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, 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.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) 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.

  • Can't Customize, Change Settings, or Move Files -- Permissions Issue?

    Hey all:
    Just got a new MBP w/ 10.5.2. Successfully migrated most of my user settings and applications from the old Tiger HDD (old laptop died a horrible death).
    The problem is that aside from everything appearing to be the same, I'm finding that I don't have the access to do a whole lot with my own files. Several different problems that "seem" like they're stemming from the same accessiblity/permissions issue include:
    Intermittent trouble downloading files with Firefox's default download tool.
    Complete inability to change desktop background.
    Programs fail to remember setting changes after quit and re-launch.
    System Preferences do not remember changes to settings.
    Certain files can not be moved, renamed, opened, or deleted w/o admin authorization, or in some cases, at all.
    The problems started after I migrated the old system over after having an interim user account running for a few days prior. After migrating, I attempted to reconcile the two together and that's when things got hairy.
    In the past couple days, I have tried:
    1.) Archive and Install (preserving User settings - now down to just one admin).
    2.) Changing permissions to system read/write, admin read/write, everyone read only for the entire /User directory, applied to all enclosed items.
    3.) Repairing Permissions (which took about 10 minutes!)
    I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm stuck with my OS acting the way it wants to, which is the exact way it was after being archived and reinstalled, no matter what changes I try to apply in the Finder, Preferences, or in any programs.
    I'm thinking maybe a clean install and then migrating over the backup I just made on my external HD will get me my stuff without whatever troublesome thing is freezing me out, but I'm not really sure, and I don't really understand much about command lines in Terminal.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.

    Oddly enough I just had a spastic moment with a mouse click and put my Drop Box in the Trash (I keep the Delete thing in my window toolbar, which is handy, but can lead to accidents)... Since I was playing with it I noticed its absence immediately. Realized what I had done after a moment's reflection, and put it back. Which just goes to confirm something I ALWAYS do before I empty the Trash: open it and see what's in there first, then click empty.
    As to whether removing ACLs is for advanced users only: well, up until Leopard that's the way it always was, there were, until now, NO ACLs on the users folders. So should everyone have been an advanced user until now? Did you ever delete a folder in Jaquar or Panther or Tiger and empty your Trash without checking? Indeed, if you use Time Machine, available in Leopard but not before, you are already protected from such goofs, since you can recover things accidently deleted using Time Machine, so actually you are in better shape with Leopard than ever before, WITHOUT the ACLs if you use Time Machine. Until Leopard there was neither belt nor suspenders to automatically protect you from losing data. Leopard supplies both.
    The situation reminds me of the continuing debate about virus protection on the Mac. Personally, I have seen various anti-virus programs cause all sorts of problems, and it has yet to protect any Mac system from anything (since as yet there are no Mac system viruses). Anti-virus software may have saved some users of Microsoft Office who share files with Windows users from getting a macro virus in their Word docs, and it might have kept a Mac user from passing on some email virus to some Windows users by forwarding stuff from the Internet. But still.... if you don't use MS Office or forward email junk, you get no benefit and may get some problems.
    Same seems to me to be true of ACLs: it is possible to get a benefit (you can't accidently toss your Movies folder and lose data, assuming you mindlessly empty your Trash and don't have a backup), but an awful lot of people are having an awful lot of problems.

  • FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?

    Hello.   The link FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?
    does not work, and i need the answer please. My imported MTS clips are not playing back audio because it seems that no audio imported with the video.   Thanks, Don.

    Hi there
    Audio plays when the object with the audio assigned appears. This is why you hear it when the Button appears.
    Try assigning the audio instead to the object that appears when you click the button. Perhaps the caption.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Updating link to Word Doc is causing a permissions issue

    Hi.  I am attempting to update a link to a Word file, and it is causing a permissions issues in Word when I try to open the Word document back up while the InDesign file is still open.
    Is there any way to link to a Word document that can be worked on while the InDesign file is being worked on?  I think I can use buzzword as an alternative, but I'm looking for the easiest possible solution.
    Thanks!
    Alicia

    Word checks for locked files. In that if another app is using the file, you can not open the file until the other app closes the file. It does this to make sure word has the lastest version of the file. This is partly due to word being using in an office environment were multiple people can be working on the same document.
    Since word is fairly quick to open. You could use the edit original icon in the links panel of InDesign. Make your changes in word once the document opens, then use the keyboard shortcuts ctrl-s to save and alt-F4 to close word.
