Imported photos in Shared library are read only

The library was moved to the Shared folder to allow use by both Users. Now a problem: photos imported from camera have write permission only for the User that imported them. Solution: repair permissions via opening iPhoto with option-cmd-click.

Better yet -- the app iPhoto Library Manager corrects permissions. With help of that, I keep the library in the shared folder where all users can get at it.

How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.

Photographs all are read only??

Hi folks. I wasn't sure where to put this question so it may not be in the right place. I have the iMac and my wife has a Dell PC (poor thing :0)). I copied all of the photo's she has collected onto a DVD to transfer them to my iMac for editing and future publishing to the web. I use Photo Shop Elements 6 to do this with, but it would not let me edit due to insufficient permissions! I must admit I chuckled when that came up since I took most of these photo's. So I opened Finder, browsed to the directory where the photo's are and using "Get Info" I found that all of these photo's and directories and subdirectories (literally hundreds of photo's) are read only permission. All I'm looking for is a way to make them all read/write en masse. Is there a way?
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Richard
I don't have a-lot of experience with the windows OS's, but do share hundreds of JPEG images every year with PC user's and that sounds like a problem with the photo files or the way they were burned onto the DVD. If you have a MS-DOS FAT 32 formatted External HD, a Flash Drive or Card Reader & Camera Card you should have no problems transferring the Original JPEG Photo Files back and forth between a Windows box and Mac.

How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto?

How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto? I have a few different pictures in each library and would like to have all my pictures in both libraries. The library on the external drive is my backup. I would appreciate any help.

Depends on exactly what you want to do.
Just move some of the Photos? FIle -> Export from one and export the shots to the Finder. Then import them to the other.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Move the photos and all versions and metadata: use iPhoto Library Manager it's the only way to do this while preserving everything. Merge two Libraries into one?
If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

All my photos in my library are not showing up

All my photos in my library are just showing gray.. here's a screenshot

Update your video drivers. If that doesn’t fix it, calibrate your monitor, or set your display profile to sRGB if you don’t have a calibration tool. If neither of those fix it, then rename your LR preview folder to something else and let LR rebuild all your previews.

Does this involve iPhoto in some way? If so, try using the Force Quit command. It's under the Apple Menu.

Hi,
The error is because either the primary database or the secondary database is configured as read only and the callback to create the secondary keys is null. A quick glance of the code, it appears as if you did not set up the secondary database correctly. In the Getting Started Guide for JAVA API chap 10, we have detailed information on what needs to be done as well as a code example. Please refer to http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/gsg/JAVA/index.html and look for Chap 10.

EXFAT formatted USB stick - sharing permissions wrong - Read Only - Cannot Reformat - Help please!

EXFAT formatted USB stick - sharing permissions wrong - Read Only - Cannot Reformat - Help please!
Hi.
Having various problems with a USB stick that is formatted in EX-FAT.
It was working fine for a long period.
Yesterday I lent it to a friend to put some things on it.
Now when I try and work on it, I get messages like this.
Mac OS X can’t repair the disk “Disk Name"
You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can’t save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can.
It will also randomly eject the drive.
I have tried to reformat it multiple times, in mac and windows.
[I have never used it in windows previous to this occasion of needing to reformat].
In windows, it crashes the disk when I attempt to format with disk manager [I attempted this due to advice in an internet article].
In Mac , I cannot even try to reformat it, because for some reason the permissions on the USB stick have been set to "read only" and I cannot find any way to change them to read-write, or full permissions, or whatever is appropriate.
I have tried "erase" disk in disk utility. I know how to do a full reformat, but it simply will not allow me to do so.
All the options are greyed out.
Does anybody have any information or links they can point me to?
I've been searching around.
Thanks very much in advance for any advice received.
Running latest mountain lion , 10.8.4, and windows 7 through VMware fusion.

Start over:
select the drive > select the Partition tab > select 1 Partition
select Option > select GUID Partition Table > select OK
name it > click the Apply button > then lastly click Partition

Fields for creation of BP in cProjects front-end are read-only

Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner in SAP-Development/Customizing so I hope this question isn't too easy
I can't create a Business Partner using the cProjects front-end (Ressources > Staffing) because the necessary fields and buttons are read-only... (> web-Dynpro Component: DPR_ROL_STAFF; View-Info: VI_SEARCH_CREATE)
I'm using CPRXRPM 450_700 patch 0006
The field-control is standard-SAP (0SAP).
My user-account has all cProject-roles + SAP-ALL
I assume i can change the behaviour of these fields in the Field Control but I can't identify which is the corresponding Object Category to apply the changes.
- Is there a documentation which field belongs to which Object Category in Field Control?
- Or can somebody tell me a procedure to find it out on my own?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
generally it is recommended to use transaction BP or ALE distribution to get the business partner be created.
If you would like to create the BP in web UI directly, the user must have the Structural Authorization, see customizing path:
Collaboration Projects -> Resource Management -> Organizational Management.
It is very HR related topic, you may contact a HR consultant to know more details about it.
Kind regard,
Zhenbo

"The selected cells are read-only" error on Custom Field when trying to insert in Datasheet mode

I have a custom field that works completely fine. Yesterday our QA team found out that when trying to insert in Datasheet format, the error "The selected cells are read-only" was thrown. Any ideas? I tried passing the following property to my fldtypes_field.xml file:

No luck.Victor Palma

Unfortunately it did not work. I also developed the code and access the field and checked its property called "ReadOnlyField" which is already set to false.

I have copied tens of directories with JPG pictures from a CD (that I burnt using Windows XP while on a trip overseas) to my iMac's HD. The problem is that all the copied files are read-only now and I cannot edit them... I tried using Finder to make them "writable" but the yellow padlock at the bottom of the Info window of the affected files is disabled (it's pale yellow, I cannot click on it).
My questions are:
a) why are the files read-only in the first place?
did you copy those files while logged in as the current user? if yes, look at the permissions of the files on the CD. in general, when you copy something via drag and drop in finder the owner and the group of the file changes but posix permissions don't change. so if they were read for the owner and the group on the CD they will still be so when you copy them to the disk. this should not normally be the issue with windows burned disks though.
Was it the way that I copied them (drag and drop in Finder)?
no. that was the right way to copy.
b) is there a way to modify the properties of a directory and its content in one single command to remove the read-only attribute?
yes, but later on that.
c) why is the padlock disabled in Finder? I expected to be prompted for my Admin password when clicking the padlock.
that's strange. check the ambient folder. it could be locked for example. re the files sitting in some folder you made or are they on the desktop?
Any help is appreciated.

[10.0.7 ESR] Temporary documents are read-only again, even with the "browser.helperAppsbrowser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit" parameter set on "false". Why?

We currently updated from the old 3.6 Firefox to the ESR version 10.0.7. Eversince we've used Firefox we've had a problem with documents being read-only when downloaded temporarily. But we've found the solution by finding the entry
browser.helperAppsbrowser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit
in the about:config and setting it on false. Documents were writeable again, and the world was full of fluffy unicorns and rainbows.
But that doesn't seem to be sufficient when using Firefox 10.0.7 ESR, since that entry is set but all our documents are read-only again. We checked that it is a Firefox issue by deactivating all add-ons to be sure, that it's the browser itself that makes that setting.
What is the cause and how can we change it back to them being writeable again?
Andrea

While that may be best practice, it doesn't help in this case.
We use a system that creates documents by using templates and filling datafields with individual values based on the case that is being worked on. These documents are saved in the system and are only displayed for information purpose.
Still some of these documents have to be altered. The system offers this possibility by letting you edit the temp file and load it back up, so that the altered document is saved in the system. The document gets a unique file name in the temp folder which includes numbers so that the system can identify which document in the system should be overwritten by the altered version.
Since the documents aren't meant to be on the local harddrive anyway but in the system, "save as..." is no real solution in this case.
