ITunes Write Privileges

I am not able to do anything on iTunes (i.e. sign in, access my account, etc...) without an error sign popping up telling me "I do not have write access to iTunes Media folder or a file within it. Change the permissions (in the Finder) and then choose > Store> Check for available downloads" How do I fix this? I have already listed myself to have "read & write" privilages on majority of my apps, but this message still pops up. I've also tried to uninstal iTunes, but it's still on my computer.

How to create files with read/write privileges for everyone?

I have two iMacs 7,1 (one with Snow Leopard and the other with Mountain Lion) in a local area wireless network.
I have shared the "documents" folder in the Snow Leopard iMac in order to have files available to the other iMac. The folder has read/write privileges for everyone.
When I create a new file in the shared "Documents" folder (for example a new Open office document, or a Keynote presentation) this file is by default "read/write" for the Administrator but only "read" for all the other users, so when I try to open it from the other iMac, I am informed that the file is "read only".
I can obviously change the privileges of the file in the information window, but I have to do on a file per file basis and this takes too long.
Is it possible to change settings in order to create files which are always "read/write" for everyone?
And, secondly, since I have several existing files whose privileges I should manually change one by one, is it possible to make global changes of their privileges?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

couple of different changes - 1st, if you want to share folders, doing your whole documents folder is not the best way. Since both your computers can handle AidDrop, that's what I would recommend - http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/14/how-to-use-airdrop-in-mac-os-x/ - as it create an instant Ad-Hoc network between the two computers and then let's it done.
A second possibility that may not be what you're looking for, is to use google drive or some similay cloud sharing app to sync the documents back and forth. both of these solutions will transfer the files well, but the airdrop may be simplest

Can iTunes write corrected ID3 tags to the main files?

I'm sure this has been posted somewhere already, but I can't find it, so here goes.
I have changed several hundred ID3 tags by editing the files in iTunes. Titles, artists, album, etc. The problem is, the main files aren't updating. SO if I change an entire album's ID3 info in iTunes, then delete it from iTunbes, then import it again, it's not updated. Is there a way iTunes can transfer whatever information I have changed within the application to the main files? I tried using the "Convert ID3 Tags" inside of iTunes and it didn't work.

It does for most fields, but it won't change the song title.
I still don't understand what you mean by "main files" or why you are deleting and re-importing. Sorry, but without more information, I don't have any suggestions. iTunes writes tags just fine for me but I allow iTunes to organize all my music. My iTunes files are my only music files.

Error msg when I compact: The folder 'Inbox' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify you have enough disk space, and have write privileg

I recently had my computer serviced. I re-downloaded Thunderbird (getting a newer version), and retrieved my saved email. Now, Thunderbird keeps asking me to compact, but when I do, I get this error message:
The folder 'Inbox' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.
Obviously, since I'm getting mail all the time, I have write privileges, and disk space. The question is whether there's a setting I need to specify, or whether Thunderbird is writing to a special partition that may have gotten write-protected when my computer was in the hospital - or whether this is related to a known bug.
All help appreciated.

The only know bug I can see is probably your anti virus is trying to scan the file when the new inbox is created leaving Thunderbird to think the file was not created.
As an experimental / diagnostic process. Restart the machine in safe mode with networking using Microsoft instructions for [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7] then try the compact. If it works I was most likely right. If it does not, another idea must surface.

I try to read an EDI-file from a file location.
In configured the receive location but when I enable it I get an error message in the log saying:

The location is correct (I used the browse option) and the folder is shared with all users (full access for everybody).

External Hard Drives Mysteriously Losing Read/Write Privileges...

I am currently running 10.5.8 OSX and for some reason all of my external hard drives are mysteriously losing their Read/Write privileges on my Mac Pro. I have not altered anything within my account or settings to my knowledge. I continue to have to unmount the drive, connect it to my MacBook Pro, reset the privileges, then re-mount to the Mac Pro to get it to Read Write. What could be causing this?

HI,
Try repairing disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

How to allow write privileges by a process to files?

Hi there
In SPARC-Solaris8:
How to allow write privileges by a process to files?
Tks in advance,
C�sar

The access to files will be controlled by the owner of the files, the owner of the process trying to access the files and the permissions set on the files.
You can use either user, group or world permissions to limit access to files by processes owned by different users.
For example, a files with permissions of 777 (rwxrwxrwx) could be written to by every user on the system. A files with 760 (rwxrw----) could be written to by anyone who owned it, or anyone in the same group, but not have general write permissions.
read man pages on group, chmod, etc to get an understanding of how the permissions and the owner of a process interact.

Lost write privileges to external USB hard drive- please help!

Hi,
I've got an external Western Digital 250GB USB hard drive that has been chugging along just fine until about a month ago, when somehow I seemed to have lost write privileges to the top level directory. I"m not sure if this happened when I installed an Mac OS update, or what, as I use the drive as backup and didn't notice it for a while.
The drive appears in the sidebar with a tiny lock icon, and when I try to copy a file from my internal HD to the external (top level directory, or drag the items right onto the icon), the following things happen:
Dialog box says "The item "foo" cannot be moved because "External HD" cannot be modified", with an authenticate button, which I then click.
After I authenticate, I get the error msg "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
But I *CAN** copy files directly into a folder that already exists on the external drive, but I cannot create new folders in the top level directory.
I have tried the following, to no avail:
1) "get info" on the external drive, checkign the permissions. In the Ownership and Permissions section, it says "You can Read & Write", and under details:
Owner: my account (dimmed) and access level is "read & write".
Group: my account (dimmed) Access: Read only
Others: No access
Ignore ownership on this volume (unchecked).
The fact that my account was named both as owner and group seemed odd, since in Group the access was "read only". I clicked on the little lock icon next to Owner, authenticated, and was allowed to change the Group settings. I changed the Group access to "read & Write", but it's not "sticking" -- when I close teh details field and reopen it, or close the get info window and reopen, the Group access settings go back to "read only".
2) I've also, of course, tried repairing permissions on my internal startup drive, which did not help the matter. Also in Disk Utility, I verified/repaired the offendin external USB drive (no problems), Verify/Repair permissions were dimmed for this drive (I assume becuase it doesn't have MacOS X installed on it?)
3) Searched the forums, Western Digital support, etc. and I cannot seem to figure out what has gone wrong.
4) When I connect the drive to another computer (my iBook) the situation is the same. Also, when I create a new admin user account and try to access the drive from that account, I still cannot write to the drive.
Thanks, I appreciate any tips or pointers.

The drive appears in the sidebar with a tiny lock icon, and when I try to copy a file from my internal HD to the external (top level directory, or drag the items right onto the icon), the following things happen:
Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and enter the following:
chflags nouchg
followed by a space; next, drag the disk into the Terminal window and press Enter. The lock should now be gone.
The fact that my account was named both as owner and group seemed odd, since in Group the access was "read only".
Recent versions of Mac OS X create a group with the same name whenever you create an account from the Setup Assistant or System Preferences. The Group permissions don't apply in this case.
I changed the Group access to "read & Write", but it's not "sticking" -- when I close teh details field and reopen it, or close the get info window and reopen, the Group access settings go back to "read only".
Did you get an error message after doing this?
Verify/Repair permissions were dimmed for this drive (I assume becuase it doesn't have MacOS X installed on it?)
That is correct. The Repair Permissions mechanism uses data from the /Library/Receipts/ folder on a disk to function, and this data is only present on disks which have Mac OS X installed.

Why have my DVD-Write privileges changed?!

Yesterday, my system profiler showed me this below.
HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N:
Firmware Revision: BP10
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
Today, it says I can only write to -R, -RW.
HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N:

CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
How come?! Also, even with the stats from yesterday, I already couldn't burn to +R's anymore, meanwhile, my +RW's can still be read, erased, and re-burned. I don't understand what is going on. How do I go about remedying this situation? I am also unable to read any of my old burned copies of movies on +R's. All blank or burned +R's whirr a bit in the drive and then get ejected. Regular store bought movies can still be read. I have been burning to +Rs for over a year now with no problem and have gone thru like 200 +Rs without a hitch until a couple of days ago.
I've already gotten screwed over by Repairtech's fraudulent 3-year extended warranty and my Apple 1-year warranty ran out over a month ago.
Please help!!!

ok, that changed the dvd-write privileges back to what they were in system profiler, but still unable to detect +r blank & burned dvds. what can i do now? or might u have an idea of what the problem could be? everything else able to be detected. i have tried hp, verbatim & mitsubishi +r's. can't detect my burned hp & verbatim +r's anymore & can't detect blank verbatim (anymore either) & mitsubishi (new brand i'm trying) +r's.
your advice is much appreciated!

Insufficient 'write' privilege to the 'sunserviceschema'

Hi,
I had installed Sun Java System Portal Server 6 2005Q4 under window xp environment.
I got error message when deploy war file by the following command =>
pdeploy deploy -u amadmin -w amAdminPassword -g -p
amAdminPassword -v portletsamples.war
errorStoreDP (sms-UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION_OCCURRED)
in pdeploy.debug , I got the following error message =>
Message:The user does not have permission to perform the operation.
netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result (50); Insufficient 'write' privilege to the 'sunserviceschema'
Actually, this command is work for me before, I don't know why it's not
working right now.
How can we setup the 'write' privilege ?
Can someone help me ?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am sorry but I really don't have answer for the problem I mentioned in this thread.
First of all, what I installed was 2005Q4 for windows.
It's been working for me once a while, then I think I re-deployed
a portlet without undeploy it or vice versa.. then i received
that error. In the end I removed 2005Q4 from control panel and
re-install that thing using another set of ID/PWD. I've been repeating this several times, sometimes it works, sometimes not.
I even wipe out my hard drive once a time to re-install the OS then 2005Q4.
it's painful. I talked with JES support staff, they said there are bugs
on 2005Q4 but they have them addressed in version 7...
After you remove it from control panel, make sure run regedit to see
all JES related entries have been removed from HKEY-LOCAL-
MACHINE/Software.
I don't have this problem anymore since I got an Unix box, so far
2005Q4 seems to be working fine on Unix.
hope this can help

CS3 Installation "check disc space and write privileges" message

I recently purchased a new desktop. I deactivated CS3 from my old computer (Windows Vista OS) and downloaded CS3 to the new(Windows 7 OS), After it shows 100% extraction, I get a "A problem occured while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and write privileges for destination folder." Not sure what to do from here and Adobe does not offer any phone support for my archaic version of PS.
I tried out copying the downloaded ADBEPSHPCS3_WWE file to C:\ as suggested in a previous post, however to no avail.
Many thanks in advance to whomever might be able to offer assistance.

Thanks again for the replys....
Like I said, my desktop is new--I'm not a techno geek just yet, but it's an ASUS, Intel dual core, I've got 340GB of 372GB available on C:\ and 550GB of 550GB on D:\ ...Would space be an issue with these stats?? The product is downloaded, and when I go to start the instal, it looks like it's doing well at extracting the files and indeed I can access the setup.exe file, but when I try to open it, I get the Windows "Do you want to allow this program to make changes to this computer?" When I click yes, that window goes away, but nothing else seems to happen??

Error on LR5 Install -- Write Privileges

OK what's up. I'd like to buy the upgrade! Chronic error won't let me install. Install error below.
Photoshop Lightroom 5.0 Installer
A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space
on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder.
Also the path is listed as
...\Adobe\Photoshop Lightroom 5.0\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5\setup32.exe
So am I mistaken when this looks like a 32bit program on my 64bit system?
So all the genius' at Adobe and the LR5 team, this is a chronic issue all over the web. What is the fix?

dswhalen wrote:
Then it installs in the Program files (x86). Could the problem be in the Program files location?
Yes! On a 64-bit Windows system you have two different folders for programs. One is called "Program Files (x86)" - this one is for 32-bit programs; the other is called "Program Files" - and that's the one you have to select for the installation of 64-bit programs.
Also, be careful when the installer wants to send the program to the desktop. The desktop has a limited capacity. And when you have too many items on it, the capacity is not enough for installation of a program. And Lr5 is not small - heck, it's a 810 MB file!
Rather do this: On your C drive in the folder "Program Files" create a folder "Adobe" - if it's not there already. Then in the folder "Adobe" create a folder "Lightroom 5" or "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5". When the installer comes up for unzipping, direct it to this folder. Then when the InstallShield comes up for the installation direct it again to this folder. Then you know where everything is regarding Lr5 - and everything is in one folder.
