Lion administrator setting changed to read only for file sharing. Now hung machine

I was trying to network my Mac with a WIndows 7 machine and tried to have my name in the file sharing read write instead of other users such as administrator when I changed the administrator to read only for file sharing rights and could not add my name as a file sharing user with read write permissions Really silly move
I have performed a repair of disk permissions however still hung.
Whats worse is that my time machine for the last three days has been disconnecting when backing up leaving a partially complete backup. Backup failed. I also left a apple support community message a few days ago to solve it.
So its critical
Timely HELP is needed.

This same problem happened to me, all the sudden one day my mac decided to revert to the original standard root username and password which I obviously did not know. In order to change this:
1) Activate single user mode on reboot as by pressing cmd + s as your computer starts up. Make sure you do it right away, and keep the keys pressed down.
2) Where the cursor pops up, type exactly
+/sbin/mount - uw/+
3) When the next cursor pops up type exactly
passwd
4) Then you can type any password you want (now changing the root password to be what you want)
Note you will not be able to see what you type, but the text is being recognized
5)The computer asks for you to retype the password, retype it
6) Type reboot
Once the computer restarts you can navigate to system preferences>accounts> and then unlock the account (lock is located on the bottom left corner) using Username: root and the password you just set. Henceforth, you can appoint your account as the administrator. Hope it works!

Download read only excel file

Hi Experts,
How to download a READ ONLY excel file to workstation (local Machine).

Hi kaleemullah,
Steps to create a BDC program.
1. Create an internal table with fields same as Excel sheet fields.
2. Declare an internal table with BDCDATA table to store the BDC recording.
3. Declare an internal table with BDCMSGCOL to store the error messages after
the execution of the BDC.
4. Write the code using the fun. module ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE
to upload the data from the excel sheet.
5. loop that internal table and write the Subroutines to fill the internal table
BDCDATA with the recording of a specified Transaction Code.
6. Using Call Transaction execute the BDC recording.
7. Check Sy-subrc = 0 and store the error messages in the internal table.
8. If you want you can pass those error records to a session using the SESSION method.
Here is an example of a BDC program, but this program is from a text file. Change the function module WS_UPLOAD with ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE
to upload an excel and write the program with your BDC recording. You can do recording using t-code SHDB.
Sample Program:
REPORT ZRAJ_DATASET_XD01 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING LINE-SIZE 132

I have a lion server set up to host storage for time machine backups. Is there a limit to how many different computers can back up to the single server to back up. I am only backing up the users folders . The backup drive is an external Drobo with 6 TB.

I have a lion server set up to host storage for time machine backups. Is there a limit to how many different computers can back up to the single server to back up. I am only backing up the users folders . The backup drive is an external Drobo with 6 TB. Right now it seems to back up my users all day long. I set their time machine interval to every 5 hours but it still runs all day long and is very slow. Server is on a new Mac Server mini.

AFAIK, there is no user limit.. it is simply a question of the network load. AFP is a fairly clean protocol.. but TM is not.. it does a lot of testing of the backup.. infact your setting of 5hour gap could well make it worse.
I would sort out the clients that are doing 100GB backups to a different backup location.. no matter how fast your network.. 100GB takes time to backup.. and over wireless forever.. it will never end.
I guess some of these clients are on wireless?? I would separate the TM of wireless to those that are wired. No more than 4 or 5 wireless clients to a target device. Otherwise you are saturating your network with backup data. And use 5ghz.. so close by.. it is much faster than 2.4ghz and you will get much better transfer rates.

Can a Column in a Project Plan be set to Read Only for everyone except Admins

At my company the Project Server Admins create the initial project plans. We want to add a new column that will designate each task in the plan as Capital or Operational. We do not want anyone to have the ability to change these.
When the Project Managers need additional tasks on their plans they will need to copy an existing one in order to have this piece of information pre-populated on their new tasks, since we do not want them deciding what the task should be themselves and populating
the field as they create tasks.

In addition to Dale's excellent answer, I'd mention that it is possible to make a column "read-only" for certain security groups in MS Project Pro with VBA code.
That being said, I'd suggest to follow Dale's advice using a "soft" solution.
Hope this helps,

External Hard drive Permissions changed to "read only"

I use a Seagate Slim Drive (500GB) on my Macbook Pro (Late 2012, Retina, 13"), to store movies and tv shows and whatnot. Last night, I was watching a movie and everything was fine. I ejected the drive after use and it stayed that way overnight. This morning, I tried to connect it, but the partition refuses to mount. I got a friend to help me run command prompt diagnostics using terminal, which revealed that the permissions had suddenly changed to "read only". I really need to access the data on this drive because some of the movies in there are part of an important project that could hopefully land me job. Any help is welcome.

1. Select the external hard drives icon
2. Right-click > Get Info (cmd + i)
3. Expand the Sharing & Permission column
4. Click on the lock at the bottom right
* You will be prompted for an administrator name and password *
5. Once unlocked change the permission for user, group & everyone to read & write
6. Click the little gear right below and select “Apply to enclosed items…”

My External Seagate Hard drive just changed to read only

my External Seagate Hard drive just changed to read only on its own?
I went to get info and scrolled down to the Sharing and Permissions
But there is nothing there but a greyed out : You can only read
There are No boxes to check or uncheck, No options to change to read and write, No name of owner or ignore ownership box. NOTHING ELSE IS THERE
HELP!
I have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and am having other problems as well

Click on the external HDD icon COMMAND+I. You should see a display such as this:
You should be logged on as the administrator. Click on the lock icon. It should open and allow you to make the required changes.

Howto make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?

Hello there,
as an admin @ school I was wondering how to make created folders/ files from one teacher, read only for other teachers?
- In a 2008domain, created a group "teachers"
- created a folder "teacher data" where all teachers have read/write permissions
ideal,a teacher who make's a folder in "teacher data" should be the only oen who is able to add file's to that folder and dele that folder or files. Other teachers may be able to read the content of the folder.
Is this possible to set up and how?
many thanks.
Nico.

Hi Nico,
You could set the permissions below to resolve the issue:
For the root folder "teacher data": give the full control permission to CREATOR OWNER – "Subfolders and files only" and give the read/write permissions to the group "teachers"– "This folder only".
Best Regards,

Disable Save or Save As for Read Only mpp file

Hi,
I have a read only mpp file and need to make sure that it cannot be Saved / Saved As by anybody in Team. They should only have access to view the file.
How can enable a file which does not allow save / save as?

ihvarrived,
You didn't mention anything about being in a Project Server environment, so I assume Shiva's response has no meaning for you.
With regard to an approach to prevent unauthorized users from saving a file let me again stress that, in my opinion, the best approach for this issue is training. That has the great advantage of mutual respect and cooperative effort in a team environment.
To implement a more covert approach you will need to do the following:
1. With the file open go to Developer/Code group/Visual Basic
2. Hit the Project Explorer icon
3. In the Explorer hierarchy, under the VBAProject double click on the "ThisProject"
4. In the code window, paste the following code:
Private Sub project_open(ByVal pj As MSProject.Project)
MsgBox "This file is write protected. You can make changes" & vbCr & _
    "for temporary what-if scenarios, but you will not be" & vbCr & _
    "able to save without the correct password", vbExclamation, "Warning!"
End Sub
Private Sub project_beforesave(ByVal pj As MSProject.Project)
pass = InputBox("enter save password")
If pass <> "xyz" Then 'string in quotes is the password you chose for saving, "xyz" is for illustration only
    SelectAll
    EditDelete
End If
End Sub
5. While still in the code window, go to Tools/VBA Project Properties/Protection tab
6. Check the "Lock this project" option
7. Enter and confirm a password. It can be the same as your save password or a different password (This will insure that only you can view and modify the above code)
8. Hit OK, then File/Save [your filename] to capture your macro in the file. Note, at this point you will be required to enter your save password.
Be advised that if a user does attempt to save without the correct save password, the file will be zeroed out and saved (i.e. nothing). That means that whenever you save the file you should also save a backup under a different name, so you can restore the
file if necessary. I couldn't figure out a good way to work around this problem. If the user always tries a "Save As" this wouldn't be an issue, but if they chose "Save" and you don't have a backup, you're screwed.
If this answers your question or is at least helpful, please mark it accordingly.

External hard drives suddenly changed to read only

Three of my external hard drives suddenly changed to read only. These hard drives have been working on my macbook pro for months. When I click on get info 'read only' shows up and there is no lock icon nor is there a window that shows name | permissions, also in disk utility the 'verify disk premissions', 'verify disk', 'repair disk', and 'repair disk premissions' buttons are ghosted and I can not select them. I have not made any changes to my computer and I have read many other posts and have not been able to find a solution.

About a hundred times with no luck. Some of my research is leading to Western Digital, there may be a problem with the drives' 'smartware' software. I've been using this drive for months and I never used the 'smartware', but I tried it anyway with no luck. I just remembered that four days ago I had this drive plugged this drive into an Iomega wireless storage device and it seemed to work fine. Now the wireless storage device can't find the drive at all. I just need to know if there is a way I can change the permissions back to read/write, otherwise I will have to buy another drive and transfer all the data to the new drive and re-formatt the wd drive.

All USB drives mount as read only for user

I have searched a bunch and thee results I find seem to be irrelevant to my situation. Most relate to a single USB media that is a problem and won't read or write.
On a new Arch install on a new computer (my third base system install). Running Gnome.
All USB mass storage devices mount as read only for the logged in user. Root has write permissions and I can mkdir no problem. It is not an issue with the USB drive itself as this occurs with multiple USB media (I've tested several SD cards on a reader and at least two drives, all the media works correctly on my existing installations)
I'm posting the contents of my /etc/group file in case there's an obvious error there I don't see, and my dmesg output upon plugging in the drive. User name is changed in the group file posted to "archie"
This is a single-user system.

I'm sure I'm just missing something in user management, but I can't find what.

I am also having the same problem. Root can read and write to automounted drives, but my user cannot. I've tried with a variety of drives, I am assuming they are being automounted by root instead of the logged-in user somehow. (I am running x directly, and am not using a display manager, if that has anything to do with it).
When I look at how it is mounted it is as follows:
/dev/sdc1 on /run/media/myuser/drivename type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2)

Set fields to read-only after addInstance()

I have this function on my form "add row" which allows user to create a new row to fill in additional fields; when user click submit, the fields of the form will become read-only.
however after i add another new row into the form, when i click submit that row does not change into read-only.
this is the code for my add row: Table1.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance();
and this is the code for my submit button, whereby upon clicking the field becomes read-only
-----Test.#subform[0].Subform2[1].buttonForm.Submit::click - (JavaScript, client) -----------
Test.Subform1.IsSubmitted.rawValue = "1"; //submitted ----0 is default
Test.Subform2.Payee.access = "protected";
Test.Subform2.Name.access = "protected";
Test.Subform2.GST.access = "protected";
Test.Subform2.Amount_GST.access = "protected";

Hello,
Perhaps you could create a trigger for that table that prevents update, delete and even insert of rows before a specified timestamp.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER <Triggername>
BEFORE INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE ON <Table>
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF <RowDate> < <sysdate - <days>> THEN
Raise_application_error(-20001, 'ROW is in read only range.'
END;
null

Custom.pll to set block to read only

Hi all,
I want to use custom.pll to make the item revisions
form read-only for certain responsibilities in 11.5.9.
What is the best property to set to accomplish this?
Alterable_plus looks like a good candidate...
Thanks,
Scott

Actually, it looks like alterable_plus works at the item level - is there a property I can set for the block?
Thanks,
Scott

Hard Drive Not Mounting After Being Magically Changed to Read Only

I was using a firewire connected, verbatim 1tb drive as a time machine. Everything had been working fine, but I walked away from my laptop for the morning and came back this afternoon to find my hard drive changed to read only. Time machine wouldn't back up to the hard drive; so, I rebooted.
Since then, I haven't been able to get the hard drive to mount. It won't show up in Drive Utility or on the desktop. I have rebooted the hard drive, unplugged it, turned it on and off.
What should I do? How do I fix this? It has my backups and my music. I'm no amused.

I've had exactly the same trouble this morning.
I'm using a MacBook Pro with my Time Machine on a portable Hard Drive. When doing my regular back up the computer froze. I force restarted the computer and the TM drive came up as 'Read Only'.
So, I rebooted again and the drive is not mounting at all. I can see it connected through System Profiler, however the drive isn't showing up in Disk Utility.
Does anyone have any ideas? Coz I don't seem to be the only one with this issue.

Some Files Change to Read Only

Hello,
I have Mini SL Server with 5 iMac clients. My problem is that some files
change to [Read Only]. This happens with Excel 2008. My current solution
is to save the file to any iMac Desktop and then move the file back to the
server. I cannot find why this is happening. I am using AFP and ACL to
propagate permissions.
Thanx in advance for any help in this matter.
Art.

Mine is doing the exact same thing!
Server running 10.6
3 clients running 10.4
2 clients running 10.5
1 client running 10.6
I have to periodically go in and reset all the permissions, and hit the "apply to all enclosed items" too.

Lion administrator setting changed to read only for file sharing. Now hung machine
