Itunes showing as read only

I tried to moves my itunes to external hardrive without first uninstalling now shows as read only.  How can i retrieve it without loosing 60gb of music

Hello
i have macbook pro 10.9.2
i plugged my WD passport in to time machine it for the month
mac doesnt regnize it - but disk utility did
i went in activity monitor and quit the process "fsck_hfs"   - this allowed eventually the pasport to show in finder -only with  read only
i dont know what to do - i cant seem to copy the whole file (containing all back ups)  to computer before erasing everything -  as not enough room on computer - also tried carbon copy clone but says not enough room also
if i simplu erase the passport on disk utility -(and loose all previous backups)  will it go back to working again simply with timecapsule? or does it need reformatting? what format should it be in for time capsule?
regards eva

  • SharePoint 2010 List View Web Part not showing for read-only users?

    Hello all,
    I have List View Webparts on my Blank Web Part page, and it's not showing for Read-Only users.
    Is this intended by Microsoft or is it a bug?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the read only user could not see the list view web part.
    Per my knowledge, the issue may be cause that the user do not have the proper permission for the list.
    1. Check whether the user can access the list.
    2. Check whether the user can view all the items instead of partial items in the list.
    3. Check whether there are some fields refer to other lists or terms, especially the lookup field or managed metadata filed.
         If that is the case, make sure the user can access the lookup list.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • External Hard Drive showing as Read Only

    I have an external hard drive I've been using on Windows XP for the longest time. I never set any permission settings on it, and I even made it a freely shared network drive on XP. Any other Windows computer I plug the drive into, I can freely read and write. I can't write to it in Mac. I used to not even be able to view the drive at all under Tiger, but now in Leopard I can read but I can't write.
    How can I change the permissions? If I try it through Windows XP there's nothing to change since there's no permission settings on it, it's freely readable and writable to all.

    Hi i have same problem but quite different.. if anybody knows the resoultion please help me out.. i have 250 gb external harddisk drive was using for my perosnal in my mac book and i use for windows also. suddently i don't what's wrong with my mac.. today morning i connect to my mac book it shows the external drive is read only file system. i cann't able to write the data on it.But if i connect to some other macbook it works perfectly.. i did check for other external harddisk drive and pen drive . only in my mac it shows read. only.. please help me out this issue..

  • HT4796 why are all the files on my external harddrive showing as read only?

    I have a harddrive (Seagate) that I have used with my PC to store files.  When I plug it into my Mac, all the files are read only.  How do I fix that?

    Most likely, the drive is formatted NTFS, which OS X can only read natively.
    If you don't want to reformat the disk into something you can use on both, try exFAT.
    If you want to reformat it only for a Mac, use Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Either way you'd have to move the files off the drive, format, then reload them
    There are several programs which will allow you to write to NTFS, Paragon, Tuxera, and NTFS-3G (free).

  • 2 users on the same computer.  Full iTunes shows up on only one

    There are 2 users on this computer.  Only the iTune downloads appear on one.  How can I get the full iTunes library on the other?

    Hey there IamSwings,
    It sounds like you would like to share your iTunes library between 2 different users on the same computer. I found this article for you that should help you accomplish that named:
    iTunes: How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203
    If you're using Windows, follow these steps:
    Quit iTunes.
    Locate your iTunes Media folder. (This folder may be named iTunes Music if you created your iTunes library in iTunes 9 or earlier). By default, it's in these locations:
    Windows XP and Windows 2000: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
    Note: The Windows version of iTunes doesn't copy all the music you add to your iTunes library to your iTunes Media folder. To copy the Music in your library to your iTunes Media Folder (if you have enough hard drive space), choose Consolidate Library from File > Library > Organize.
    Drag the iTunes Media folder to a public location. You can use one of these public folders:
    Windows XP and Windows 2000: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\Public\Public Music
    Important: Don't move the iTunes folder, the iTunes library file, or the iTunes library.xml file.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Edit > Preferences.
    Click Advanced.
    Click the Change button.
    In the Change Music Folder Location dialog, navigate to your iTunes Media folder.
    Click OK.
    Repeat these steps for each user that you want to share music with. If multiple users on your computer are storing music in the same public folder, duplicate song files may appear if a user imports music from a CD that another user already imported.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Sterling

  • Files or folders created by one user show as read only for others

    We are using Server version 3.2.2, we have a group call production and then we have 9 users plus the administrator account.  All users are assigned to the production group.  We have a single share called customers and the group "production" has read and write permissions for the share and also for all the underlying folders and files.
    Each user logs onto the share with their own username and password.  But, when a user creates a new file or folder on the server within the "customers" share, they are assigned read and write permissions and everyone else is assigned "no access".
    We then go into the folder on the server and assign the group "production" read and write access and life goes on, but the issue is that we should not have to.
    From this description, can anyone tell me what we are doing wrong?

    In the sidebar of the Server.app window, select the icon at the top with the name of the server. Then select the Storage tab in the main window pane.
    Navigate to the folder in question and select it. From the popup menu at the bottom with a gear icon, select
              Edit Permissions...
    Verify that the permissions are what they should be, and make changes if necessary. Then, from the same menu, select
              Propagate Permissions...
    Check all applicable boxes, including Access Control List. If in doubt, check all boxes. Click OK.

  • Read Only Folders

    It may have been discussed before but I haven't found it. I from when I found out about mp3s have always saved Artist-track title release year. It works for me. So why when I rip from Itunes am I stuck with their format. I recently found out that WMP would change the file to what I wanted as said above. Now I find Folders Are Read Only, I went to Properties and changed it. 2 secs later "Read Only" Add to that It got album art from another album, so I deleted jpg's only to have them reappear. I then took files out into "My Music" Directory but they still won't change. Help, This is one of the reasons I won't have i in front of my music devices. Why I got it? It was the only place I could get some music videos that I wanted. Other than that, It's got info that the others hadn't and gave me info that the other's couldn't or wouldn't.

    Sorry New to this forum, I have Windows XP. I went to Microsoft Support to see if I could over-ride the command on the folders. I opened the CMD box typed in what they said, only when I tried to put in the path that's where I got lost, it didn't recognise my commands. Thanks for the quick reply. Hope you can help I have started to rip the albums again, only this time I have to copy paste the info and change dates. I just checked, other folders are showing faded read only as well, but info is being changed by media player except the itunes files.

  • Textarea formatting for read-only display

    Hello,
    I currently have a textarea field that is on a data entry screen, which can be displayed as editable or read-only, based on certain criteria. I noticed that when text with line breaks is entered into the textarea, it keeps these line breaks as expected when viewing the record again in edit mode. However, when the record is read-only, and the textarea is showing as read-only text, the formatting has been an issue -- all of the text is run together as if it were one continuous line. In the Label area of properties for the textarea, I added in <PRE> in the Pre Element Text value, and </PRE> for the Post Element Text, to retain formatting of the text. The good news is that now the text formats properly in edit or read-only mode; however, if a long amount of text was entered before a line break, when viewing the textarea as read-only, the text goes on and on far past the right edge of the screen so a lot of scrolling must be done to read the text.
    Is there some property or workaround I can use to restrict the width of the text showing when read-only, so the text will wrap but also maintain line breaks? I don't want to change any properties that will cause the edit view of of this textarea to function any differently. In a nutshell, I'd like to be able to have the text wrap, but still show the line breaks.
    Thanks in advance,
    Brian

    Yes, I had the same issue.
    Read only with textarea .
    It is not fixed in 3.0 version I don't know if it is in 3.0.1.
    My workaround was to use javascript to change the property of the textarea to readonly on page load event upon certain condition, something like :
    if ('&P8_EMP_TYPE.' != 'EMP' || '&P8_DATE.' != ''){
    document.getElementById('P8_EMP_COMMENTS').readOnly = true}
    You should be able to do something similar with most conditions, if you find a better workaround pls let me know.

  • Read-only files and folders

    I would like to add ilustrations to mp3 files that I adeed to my iTunes library. However, some of the iTunes folders seem to be read-only. I tried to uncheck them but when I restart iTunes they are read-only again.
    Any advice ?

  • 'Read-Only' is applied to 44k photos while using LR5...can't save work.

    Hello,
    As noted in the title...
    Using MacPro (5 years old), OS Lion, full RAM, 4 HD's with 2 TB+ drives, plenty ofroom left over in all.
    ALL 44k images located in one LR3 catalog (recent upgrade to LR5 hoping for remedy 2 days ago) show 'read-only' notice, so after doing any kind of work on them in develop, etc. I select all (in specific folder, not 44k photos!) then save it, a notice comes up and says these are 'read-only' files. Thus not able to save any work that is apparent in LR.  BUT, when exported as JPG all changes are saved.
    I have opened various folders, NOT via LR, but via Finder (OS Lion) and opened one by one using PS 4 and they open fine in RAW converter window.  Save as PSD, all files look fine.  Same for JPG's.
    The issue is LR, or hard drive or something along the chain where the photos, when viewed in LR, say they are 'read-only'.
    Via Finder window I have opened various files (denoting read-only notice) and right-clicked to 'get info' on that specific photo. ALL files are 'read and write', there are NO files that are denoted read-only when getting the info.  I checked 50+ photos in 25 different folder locations.
    Laptop test:
    I started a new LR catalog in LR5, with ZERO photos and imported a few folders, with images that had 'read-only' notice to make sure I tested the same photos that had given me the read-only notice.
    Did a test on photos with 'read-only' files on a laptop (OS Mountain Lion), pulled files from HD where ALL 44k photos are located.  Copied to thumb drive, imported with LR5, copied to desktop in test folder, all photos came in fine, slected all, did global edit to all images, saved all, all images were saved with NO 'read-only' notice.  This is true for a series of folders.
    So my test, if it proves anything, is that either LR is messed-up or the HD is messed-up on MacPro tower or something is telling LR to show the 'read-only' notice to pop up.
    Back-ups:
    Back-ups were done from HD where all 44K photos reside, to 2 (two) other drives, within MacPro tower.  So ALL 44k photos are essentially the same.  This was a drag-n-drop not using Super Duper or similar byte-verification software.
    Any ideas on why ALL 44k images say 'read-only', when viewed in LR5 in MacPro tower but NOT in laptop?  HD is 5 years old...could this be the weak link?
    Also, considering to wipe the complete system drive (not HD where photos reside) and re-load everything from scratch to begin anew.  My concern is will this help and then, will wiping all drives and re-loading all images, then re-loading LR5 catalog will solve this.  I am resigned to a week of doing this if it works as right now, I am at a stand still and cannot go forward or backward.
    Thanks
    Sergio

    Ok, before we square off on the definition of metadata.  I was saving work done in the develop module, as in developing the photo to my taste.  Once I am done with the work, I either select the one image or all images in a folder and save the work.  If the saving action is indeed called metadata (that is written to the xmp sidecar file) so be it.  All I care about is that the sidecar file hangs onto the work I just did.  Thus if a catalog is corrupted, I can re-load a recent back-up (done every time LR exits) and not have to do the work again.  I also want to make sure my photos can be used even if LR dies, fades away into obscurity or no longer works.  I do not want my photos to be 'prisoners' of Adobe LR or any other software.  That is why I tested the photos outside of LR, by opening them in PS and see if my settings stayed as I had them before.  If LR automatically saves the work to the catalog, great, no worries.
    Now, onto the issue at hand.
    Why do I get 'read-only' when I try to save work to a photo or a bunch of photos within a folder?
    Where do I go to get "permission to write to a folder', whether using LR or any other software?
    thanks

  • How to make select list as read only

    Hi All.
    when i m loading a page ...how to make value of select list as read only ..
    i tried doing this ....
    i added readonly attribute to the select list's element attibute ...it is showing as read only field by darkening the select list field but ... the select list is editable even now... its allowing to choose from drag and drop ...
    Thanks & Regard ,
    Nandini

    I have the same requirment..
    I have a select list on a editable form and i want to make that one read only.
    When I use read only property it doent do anything. (But this is working for text items well).
    When I use "disabled' option it works fine. But then that value does not post when use POST the form. So making select list disabled is not a solution.
    Any Idea..
    Thanks

  • External drive changed to read-only

    I have a Western Digital external drive that I use for Time Capsule and Super Duper! This morning, when I wanted to start work, Time Capsule said that my drive "appears to be a read-only drive," and Super Duper had failed its overnight backup.
    I used BatChMod, and changed the permissions.
    When I opened a finder window for the external, it still showed the read-only icon in the lower left hand corner of the window.
    The Get Info window shows System as the owner, Admin as the group, with all permissions. EVERYONE has read-only permission.
    When I look at the disk in Disk Utility, Repair Disk Permissions is greyed out.
    What would change the disk's status, and how can I fix this?
    Thanks,
    Nicky

    Most likely, your backups were corrupted, beyond Disk Utility's ability to repair them. It's possible a 3rd party disk repair app, such as +Disk Warrior,+ could have fixed them, but it's too late now.
    Does the drive have two partitions, one for Time Machine backups, and a second for SuperDuper? If so, erase the Time Machine partition and let TM start over.
    If not, that's a problem (see #3 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum). Your best bet is to reformat the disk with two partitions. See #5 in the FAQ for detailed instructions. Then start both Time Machine and SuperDuper over fresh.
    Longer-term, having both backups on the same physical drive is not good; if the drive fails, you risk losing both of them.
