Locked project - custom access??

hello all..my daughter just completed an entire idvd project on our laptop. when she went to burn, the laptop did not have enough memory to multiplex. she then went and put the project on a flash drive and went to the mac pro to burn. when she went to open the project in idvd, idvd says this project is locked and can not access it. i opened the info box on the project (on laptop) and the project is not locked but has custom access with no way to change it. what is going on??? any help would be appreciated.....

How did she 'put the project on a flash drive'?
An iDVD project is not self-contained. iDVD can be thought of as a container that holds references/aliases to the media used within it, but it does not actually move the media to its files. When you burn the iDVD project to a DVD disk, or create a disk image file, iDVD locates the media needed on your drive and pulls its information in just for the burn process.
If you move just the iDVD project onto another drive, iDVD will be unable to locate the files and will not work properly. In fact, iDVD will not work on your laptop if you move, rename, delete or change any of the media files used to create the project.
The only way to move an iDVD project is to burn an archive DVD disk of the project. This data DVD can be opened on another Mac and the media will be there also so that iDVD can locate it for burning a disk. However, if the original iDVD project is still on the laptop and you can somehow get more space on your laptop, you can save the project as a disk image file, and move it for burning.
Do a 'Save as Disk Image' from the iDVD project to create a disk image file. The process will look the same as the burn process, with encoding, and will take just as long. But, the end result will be a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk. The disk image file IS self-contained, and is usually smaller than the original iDVD project. The disk image file CAN be moved to another computer/drive, because it has all the needed media files encoded within it.
You can use Disk Utility or Toast to burn a DVD disk from the disk image.

My system drives locked up -- "custom" access can't be reset

My system crashed and it took be a day and a half to get it working again: Lion wouldn't reinstall from the DVD, from the internet or from the Lion USB stick I made. Finally I pulled out all the drives and put in only a Lion drive I had set aside as a safety. This worked.
My main system drive and the Time Machine drive display a little lock icon and when I open Info, their permissions are all listed as "custom." Worse, when I try to change them, I can't.
All my data is on those drives and Lion won't even let me open them to transfer files.
How do I change the permissions?

I've been wrestling for three days with being locked out of all drives except one. I've tried everything on the planet including variations on the following, with no success. I was stunned when these two simple commands, cut and pasted into terminal, worked. I repeat this from the archives since it took me ages to find it among all the other posts that were efforts to help. Frame this, bronze it, put it on the wall, worship at its feet. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to relax using my Macs again. V.K., you're a god. How about visit a bolt on Cupertino.

run the following terminal commands (copy and paste, please)
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
sudo chmod a+rx /volumes/*
you'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see). that's normal. this should unlock your drives.

"Custom Access" permissions are locking me out of my own computer!

"Custom Access" permissions are locking me out of my own computer!
I have a Mac Book Pro which I can no longer access, due, I believe, to a problem with disk and file permissions. When I attempt to open up the volume, which I am able to put in FireWire target mode and mount on the desktop of a nearby iMac G5, I get an error message saying: "The folder 'MacBook Pro' could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges."
When I select the 'MacBook Pro' volume and run the Get Info command, I learn that the system, admin, and everyone else groups now have "custom access." I suppose that this newly acquired "custom access" is the reason that the volume icon now appears on the desktop with a lock at its lower left corner! Unfortunately, that lock is keeping me out, so I need help in finding the key back in!
How all this came about overnight is a mystery wrapped in a enigma similar to my getting pneumonia last summer. Coming down with both diseases would require telling long stories that would only have as their common objective the desire to be cured. I might have gotten the pneumonia at my college reunion; my laptop computer might have caught a cold last night when I ran TechTool Pro and optimized my volume prior to installing its eDrive today. Or, my laptop computer may have choked when I tried to add Disk Warrior to the TechTool Pro eDrive and inadvertently issued some command that resulted in my normal permission settings getting changed and rendering everything on the computer completely inaccessible to me. Who knows for sure? Right now, the cause doesn't matter: finding the solution does.
I used TechTool Pro to run a series of tests before (and after) I got locked out of my own computer and the volume passed all the tests for volume integrity and file integrity. TechTool also rebuilt the directory, defragged all the files, and optimized the hard drive into one, large, well-organized segment of files --that I unfortunately can no longer access!
*What I think I need now are some very explicit, error-free, Terminal (UNIX) instructions telling me how to change the permissions on an external FireWire volume called "MacBook Pro" containing Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.7 from its current custom access privileges back to my settings before my poor computer caught this disabling cold.*
I do have a SuperDuper clone of this MacBook Pro computer on an external FireWire, which I could probably use to relieve me of my pain. But, if at all possible, I would like to call upon that option only as a last resort for two reasons:
(1) I am not entirely comfortable that the clone is completely reliable at this moment. My last cloning operation last night (before this corrupted permissions problem occurred) did not complete itself, leaving the cloned volume in an unknown, or unstable, state. (2) I would like to use this problem as an opportunity to grow and learn more about the Terminal and UNIX commands.
I have read the relevant sections in David Pogue's missing manual on Mac OS X Leopard, so I am familiar (in theory) with the concepts he explained regarding ownership, file permissions, the root, Terminal, the CHMOD command, and the SUDO command. It's just that, considering the awesome power of the SuperUser Do command, I'm not all that confident yet that I could write the command(s) that could affect the state of my entire computer hard drive. So, *I'm asking for guidance from a UNIX guru to guide my hand this first time out.*
I know about the idea of safe booting up as a single user, but since I do have my laptop computer mounted on the desktop of my iMac as a Firewire volume, I would prefer to use Terminal on the iMac to fix the permissions on that mounted volume, called "MacBook Pro".
*Experts only, please*. Theories about what might have caused this problem would be nice, but what I really need is explicit command line code to cure this one. Since other people may occasionally encounter this problem of being locked out of their own computer, it would be fine with me if some knowledgeable guru wants to use this as a springboard to write a detailed tutorial on the topic along the way to the solution. Thanks.

{I read that article you sent me to, Baltwo, but it does not seem appropriate, because the disk is not invisible. It's locked! I also went through all the discussions on flag changing you directed to me to look up, and I tried to apply something from there to my situation. But that's not working for me yet either. The topics there seem to be close enough to be relevant to my case, but none are exactly on the mark, and so far they deliver no cigar. Maybe I missed the one thread you had in mind from among the twenty I looked through: I can't be sure. You point it out, if you have one in mind. Anyway, in the absence of anyone providing me with specific Unix code or suggestions about my particular situation, I plunged ahead on my own, and I attempted to write some Unix code that might fix my problem. So far, I've had no success. This posting intersperses my comments along with the lines of Unix code which were displayed on my MacBook Pro during my recent attempts to tinker under the hood. My remarks are contained inside of curly brackets like { and } while the results of my Unix experimenting in Single User Mode on the laptop are presented without curly brackets. These were initially notes to myself, so I'm creating a post around my Unix dabbling to see if it triggers any feedback, corrections, and guidance for moving ahead. I'm stuck right now.}

{So, to summarize, I have a MacBook Pro which I am apparently locked out of and cannot change. The hard disk is not invisible: it will appear as an external drive when placed in Target Mode and connected via a Firewire cable to an iMac. I tried to use Terminal on that iMac to change permissions on the MacBook Pro, but permission was denied.
{So, I have tried to make changes on the MacBook Pro directly. I learned that it will neither start-up under normal circumstances nor via Safe Boot mode. It will, however, start-up under Single User mode. Based on my bleary-eyed crash course in Unix throughout all of last night and early this morning, I did gain some additional understanding about UNIX from some [free online books|http://www.scribd.com/doc/12747795/Made-Easy-Unix-for-Beginners] and articles, especially from a thorough and lucidly written article at Indiana University called [In Unix, how do I change the permissions for a file?|http://kb.iu.edu/data/data/abdb.html]
{Also, I followed the links to the Apple discussions on user flags, and I cherry picked the most appropriate solutions suggested there to see if they will apply to my situation. However, none quite fit. None have thus far succeeded. I think I now know how to formulate the syntax of Unix commands in regards to modifying permissions, and I'm willing to plow ahead and try things out. But I'm only a rank beginner in this Unix realm, so maybe I'm doing something wrong in that department.
{It just boggles my mind that someone can inadvertently be locked out of their computer without a way back in, so all I'm asking for is some trouble-shooting guidance to find the key back in. Anyone got it? Is this a problem that can be cured by writing some Unix commands to the system? Or, does the solution lie elsewhere?}

I transferred files from a NAS server to the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server and now some of the files have Custom Access and can't be opened by some users. How do I fix this?

We're setting up our Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, and in the process transferred files that had been stored and accessed from our Blackarmor NAS server over to the Mac. These files were all created on PC's and are Office Excel files, WordPerfect files or PDF's. When you look at the files on the Mac from the Mac and bring up Get Info for the affected file, it says that the file has Custom Access. The files that work properly don't have that configuration. I can access and open the files on some computers, but some users can't open the files from their computer even though they can see it. We're all using PC's and they get the Error: Access Denied-Contact your administrator--or something similar. I've seen on the web similar issues and it may have something to do with ACL permissions. I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand this, but what is baffling is that they can be opened from some PC's but not others, and all of the Users have the same accessibility to the files. Thanks for a solution!!

Creating an SQL Query for Project Custom Fields Values

Hello:
I'm currently trying to create an SQL Query to show all of the server's Project Custom Fields Values, along with the modification date.
So far, I've managed to display correctly all of the data for all of the Projects' text value Custom Fields (those not based on a LookUp Table) with this query:
SELECT
MSP_PROJECTS.PROJ_NAME,
MSP_CUSTOM_FIELDS.MD_PROP_NAME,
MSP_PROJ_CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUES.CODE_VALUE,
MSP_PROJ_CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUES.TEXT_VALUE,
MSP_PROJ_CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUES.MOD_DATE
FROM
MSP_PROJ_CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUES
INNER JOIN
MSP_CUSTOM_FIELDS
ON MSP_CUSTOM_FIELDS.MD_PROP_UID = MSP_PROJ_CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUES.MD_PROP_UID
INNER JOIN
MSP_PROJECTS
ON MSP_PROJECTS.PROJ_UID = MSP_PROJ_CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUES.PROJ_UID
WHERE
MSP_PROJ_CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUES.CODE_VALUE IS NULL
ORDER BY
MSP_PROJ_CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUES.PROJ_UID,
MSP_PROJ_CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUES.MD_PROP_UID
However, when I try a new Query to obtain the actual values for the Projects Custom Fields that do use a LookUp Table, I can't seem to find what table in the model I'm supposed to link to the MSP_PROJ_CUSTOM_FIELD_VALUES.CODE_VALUE field (the TEXT_VALUE
field has NULL value when CODE_VALUE field isn't NULL)
Any suggestions on how to obtain the actual Projects' custom fields values instead of the Code Value, for Metadata that do use a LookUp Table?
Also, I'm able to run this query only in the Published Database, since the MSP_CUSTOM_FIELDS table is empy in the Draft Database. Why is that?
Awaiting your kind reply,
Sebastián Armas PMO Project Manager

Hi Sebastián, rather than directly accessing the database it would be better to use the PSI to get this data. Take a look at the ProjTool sample in the SDK whcih gets this data.
Best regards,
Brian.

Permission problem that won't die: You have custom access

After upgrading from Tiger to Leopard I had so many permissions problems that I backed up all my docs, erased my Macbook Pro hard drive (first time since I bought a Mac in 1985 that I have EVER had to do this), and installed a 100% clean Leopard install (no upgrade from Tiger). I updated everything through Software Update. Then I copied back several folders from my backups.
Permissions problems declined, but only from 100% to 80%.
The problems fall into three categories.
ONE: A folder seems to have normal permissions:
jimw(Me) Read and Write
staff Read only
everyone Read only
but at the top it says "You have custom access." (It should say "You can read and write.") That turns out to mean I can't edit, trash, or even move any of its contents without an Admin password. Copying the file into a virgin folder with correct permissions, then Applying them to enclosed items works sometimes but rarely. An ls command results in lines like this:
drwxr-xr-x+ 11 jimw staff 374 Feb 14 10:09 jimw's old home folder
0: group:everyone deny delete
TWO: Same as above, but there is no staff entry in the table and "everyone" has "Read & Write" instead of "Read only".
THREE: "everyone" appears twice in the table under Sharing & Permissions.
Other threads suggest that one of these "everyone"s is left over from Tiger, but they have scary suggestions on how to fix the problem (see below).
Yes, I have run "Repair Permissions".
So I logged onto these discussions and discovered that I have company -- LOTS of company. And there are about 1,334,786 different proposed solutions, including some hairy ones with typos (like putting in single quotes where double quotes should be -- in Terminal).
Carefully I tried a couple of these, and have wrestled the problem down to maybe 40% of its original size. And my heart leapt when one solution seemed to work on one of my biggest folders: sudo chmod -R -a# 0 FOLDERNAME.
But trying it on a bunch of other folders only solved the problem for the documents inside, not their intervening enclosing folders. If I create a virgin folder structure I can copy all the docs inside folder by folder, then throw out the bad folders en masse. But that's too much work! And prone to error.
How can I strip a bunch of ORDINARY folders of their inappropriate permissions so I can get on with my life?

I HAVE FOUND GOD AND HE WORKS AT APPLE IN THE APPLECARE TECH SUPPORT DEPARTMENT!
(First, let me apologize to people who find the above offensive on religious grounds... OK, now on to the details.)
I am posting here the steps that a certain support guy (accessed through 800-APL-CARE) stepped me through. The solution is so simple that I am beginning to doubt my sanity. It may not work for everyone, but it seems to have worked for me. I'm leaving this thread "not yet answered" for a couple of days just to be sure, but I can say that MUCH of my problem is definitely different and is apparently 100% gone. I'll follow up later to be sure.
Here are the steps this wonderful fellow stepped me through.
1.
Make sure things are not REALLY REALLY messed up. Click on your desktop so Finder becomes the active program. Create a new folder. Rename it from "Untitled folder". Throw it in the trash. Empty trash. If all these steps work OK with no demand for an Admin password, then your permissions and Users and Groups and all that are not TOTALLY messed up and you can proceed.
2. (step by step for the inexperienced)
Open your hard drive icon. Open the Users folder. Find your particular user folder (the one that looks like a house). Click on it ONCE to select it.
3.
Do a Get Info on your user folder (the house). Under Sharing & Permissions it should say "You have custom access" (which is normal for this folder and certain others, but not normal for an ordinary folder you created, say, on the desktop in step 1).
The little table underneath that should have 3 entries. Mine reads:
jimw (Me) Read & Write
wheel Read only
everyone Read only
As you've guessed, my username is jimw, so of course your username should be there instead of the jimw.
4.
Click on the little lock in the right-hand corner waaaaay at the bottom of the Get Info window. (You may have to scroll down.) Enter your Admin password and click OK. The lock icon will turn into an unlocked icon.
5.
A little popup menu somewhat to the left of the unlocked icon will now become active (rather than its previous state of grey). It has a little cog wheel in it, and a teeny triangle indicating it's a popup. Click on it and hold: you should see one or two greyed-out choices in that popup, and one active choice reading "Apply to enclosed items". Choose it.
Step 5 was the one that had messed up my drive on previous occasions, because (I think) it applied hidden things called ACLs to enclosed folders and files. But my support guy assured me that this step was OK and would fix my problem.
6.
You will probably get a dialog box asking for your Admin password again. Enter it and click.
7.
Wait. Breathe deeply. A progress bar will start spinning. Depending upon the size of your hard drive, it may take awhile.
8.
When the process finishes, close the Get Info window.
9.
GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE! THE PROBLEM IS FIXED!
At least mine is, so far. For you techies, the proof to me that a huge step in the right direction has been taken is that an ls -l command in terminal NO LONGER produces entries like:
drwxr-xr-x+ 11 jimw staff 374 Feb 14 10:09 jimw's old home folder
0: group:everyone deny delete
but instead produces entries like:
drwxr-xr-x 11 jimw wheel 374 Feb 14 10:09 jimw's old home folder
I am uncomfortable in Terminal and I don't really understand permissions and ACLs, but I think the significant differences are: no plus sign after the initial string of permissions, "wheel" instead of "staff", and NO SECOND LINE CONTAINING DENY DELETE.
Apple: Can't you produce a tech note explaining this process?? It's really simple! Even a grown-up could do it! (Apologies if you already have and it was posted a month ago and it's highlighted in flashing red text on the discussions.apple.com website and somehow I missed it...)

Leopard install default permissions: Custom access

Hello,
I am a very new mac user. Only bought my first iMac 1 month ago. I really liked the experience so far.
I recently upgraded to Leopard, and i had no problems at all (no blue screens, or locked users).
The problem i am going through right now, is about user permissions.
If i do 'Get Info' of my primary hard drive (the one Leopard is installed on), i get 'You have custom access'. I was expecting 'You can read & write'.
I've read a lot about these permissions. I tried a lot of things but nothing worked for me.
To be exact: i am using a leopard installation now, which has been installed from an empty hard drive (before the installation started, i erased everything. Just to make sure there is no conflict with the previous version, tiger).
I've upgraded from tiger, clean installs, and fresh installs (like the one i am using now) all to get the same situation. I really hope this is not intended.
Seen as I am a administrator, i really like to control where i want to write.
I've tried the following:
-i used Tinkertool System to change ACL's. Finally i got the '/' to show me 'read and write' but i had to change the ACL for every file manually, and at a certain moment i couldn't start my system preferences.
-i tried the 'chown -R -N'. Didn't change a thing.
-i tried the 'chown -a# 0 username' (username is babyCreative). Got a message telling me 'No ACL present'...
Now i am working on a fresh format (so the permissions are still the ones, set by default). I can actually do the work i need to do, but i don't feel very 'okay' with this permissions-situation.
PS: what really bothers me is the following: when launching leopard for the first time, and checking those permissions IMMEDIATELY, it tells me 'Read and write'. Only later on, all of a sudden, it changes into 'Custom access'. (right now it already is 'read only, yet i am copying files on it)...
Is there somebody that can help me out with this?
Any help is much appreciated.
(excuse my bad english ;))
Message was edited by: babyCreative

This might be me turning crazy... but right now... My permissions on the primary drive have changed again... Permissions are now 'Read and write'.
when i check out the owner of the drive, i see 'root' is the owner of the primary drive.
I suspected to see my username there...
Anyway: right now my permissions seem to be okay... Will evaluate this during a few days, and post the outcome here...
(i feel pretty bad now: been wasting days to this... Only now realizing the following: patience is a virtue... (so far))
thx for you reply though

Locking a custom table

Hi All !!
I want to update one custom table which has key fields K1, K2 and K3.
I am using ENQUEUE_E_TABLE to lock the table.But I dont know how to send the table for enqueue.
Nextly, I need to send keys of table .Should I use any structure where I append the key fields and export the structure. The function call is as :
CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_E_TABLE'
   EXPORTING
     MODE_RSTABLE         = 'E'
     TABNAME             = ?
     VARKEY               =?
   EXCEPTIONS
     FOREIGN_LOCK         = 1
     SYSTEM_FAILURE       = 2
     OTHERS               = 3
Please help in this regard..
Thanks in advance..

Hai.
Check this.
Lock objects are use in SAP to avoid the inconsistancy at the time of data is being insert/change into database.
SAP Provide three type of Lock objects.
- Read Lock(Shared Locked)
protects read access to an object. The read lock allows other transactions read access but not write access to
the locked area of the table
- Write Lock(exclusive lock)
protects write access to an object. The write lock allows other transactions neither read nor write access to
the locked area of the table.
- Enhanced write lock (exclusive lock without cumulating)
works like a write lock except that the enhanced write lock also protects from further accesses from the
same transaction.
You can create a lock on a object of SAP thorugh transaction SE11 and enter any meaningful name start with EZ Example EZTEST_LOCK.
Use: you can see in almost all transaction when you are open an object in Change mode SAP could not allow to any other user to open the same object in change mode.
Example: in HR when we are enter a personal number in master data maintainance screen SAP can't allow to any other user to use same personal number for changes.
Technicaly:
When you create a lock object System automatically creat two function module.
1. ENQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. to insert the object in a queue.
2. DEQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. To remove the object is being queued through above FM.
You have to use these function module in your program.
check this link for example.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/cf/21eea5446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm

endif.
Normally ABAPers will create the Lock objects, because we know when to lock and how to lock and where to lock the Object then after completing our updations we unlock the Objects in the Tables
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/cf/21eea5446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
purpose: If multiple user try to access a database object, inconsistency may occer. To avoid that inconsistency and to let multiple user give the accessibility of the database objects the locking mechanism is used.
Steps: first we create a loc object in se11 . Suppose for a table mara. It will create two functional module.:
1. enque_lockobject
1. deque_lockobject
before updating any table first we lock the table by calling enque_lockobject fm and then after updating we release the lock by deque_lockobject.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21eea5446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
GO TO SE11
Select the radio button "Lock object"..
Give the name starts with EZ or EY..
Example: EYTEST
Press Create button..
Give the short description..
Example: Lock object for table ZTABLE..
In the tables tab..Give the table name..
Example: ZTABLE
Save and generate..
Your lock object is now created..You can see the LOCK MODULES..
In the menu ..GOTO -> LOCK MODULES..There you can see the ENQUEUE and DEQUEUE function

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
     var pos = sym.getPosition();
     if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
          sym.stop(0);
          clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

She is the project manager of the 12 projects and having project manager permissions on the project sites.
Please suggest any solution for this.
Geeth If you feel that the answer which i gave you is Helpful please select it as Answer/helpful.

I believe I've found the fix for this issue. After opening a ticket with MS support and not getting anywhere with this issue I decided to do an in-depth review of all the Project and SharePoint 2013 CU's starting with December 2013 to September 2014.
To my amazement buried inside the July 2014 CU was a hotfix for this issue described almost word for word. (I will list all the relevant KB's at the end) I contacted my support engineer inquiring about this hotfix and he stated it wasn't relevant because
the "Synchronize Project Web App permissions to Project Site" was not failing or even generating any warnings in our Prod or Test environments. I stated that is not always an indicator as ULS doesn't always catch all relevant errors.
I informed him that I also found a second hotfix pertaining to the same issue released August 2014, apparently the first hotfix in July didn't totally resolve the issue and a second hotfix was released. He was adamant that this would not resolve
our issue and he requested or production databases because he was unable to replicate the issue in his test environment. The reason, you may wonder, is because he was at a higher patch level that our farm.... Obviously! His farm had the most current
CU which included the hotfixes from July and August. Apparently he didn't see the flaw in his logic.
I decided to install the September CU on our test farm. Low and behold that fixed the problem, even though MS support stated the hotfix was not relevant to our issue. I learned a long time ago to take MS support comments as suggestions instead
of gospel truth, this isn't the first time they have confidently given me erroneous information.
We are currently doing further testing to verify that this CU didn't break something else. Unfortunately these rollups are not GA and Microsoft is very clear that you should only install them if the hotfixes pertain directly to your issue.
Finding the hotfixes was a chore as Microsoft loves to create multiple KB's for the same thing and then nest (bury) them so you have to dig through four or five KB's to find the relevant fix. I'll save you the trouble and list them below.
Watch the
September CU Webcast Brian Smith and team go into depth explaining why this issue has been happening and how they fixed it.

Document in Easy DMS and SAP DMS is lock cannot be accessed

Hello Guru,
Document in Easy DMS and SAP DMS is lock cannot be accessed. when check in Easy DMS the document 123 excel file is not accessible cannot be open, it has an icon on pencil with red circle sign.
when check in SAP GUi, the padlock is unlock, file cannot be open as well with error (File C:\EasyDMS\SAP_400\PRE1234567890 could not be accessed.
how can we fixed this and unlock the document excel so that we can open it. Please advise. Thanks

Hi,
based on your description it seems to me that this original file is currently checked out for editing. So maybe another user is
editing this file and so you cannot access it.
If no other user edits the file you can try to use the function 'Exit Edit mode' in the context menu of EasyDMS. This will checkin the file again and restore the last checked in version.
Best regards,
Christoph

Using PowerShell to set Custom Access Rights on a Calendar Does not set Free/Busy Permissions

We recently discovered an issue where, if you use Exchange Management Shell to configure custom access rights, the Free/Busy permissions do not get set at all (they remain as "None"):
$temp = [Microsoft.Exchange.Management.StoreTasks.MailboxFolderAccessRight[]]("ReadItems","EditOwnedItems","DeleteOwnedItems","EditAllItems","DeleteAllItems","FolderVisible")
Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "conf-company-test:\calendar" -User "Company Calendar Management" -AccessRights $temp
Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "conf-company-test:\calendar" -User "mpinkston" -AccessRights Editor
If you use a pre-defined "role" such as Editor given to mpinkston6 in the above example it sets the Free/Busy permission to Full Details. It would appear that using Add-MailboxFolderPermission or Set-MailboxFolderPermission is generic for folder
objects, and doesn't explicitly set the Free/Busy permissions. In the case of the pre-defined roles either the command is doing something special/different, or the permission checks later accept pre-defined roles for determining Free/Busy permissions. No idea
which is going on. If Free/Busy permissions can be fixed through PowerShell by some other mechanism/command, that would be great. If not, how do we go about requesting a fix/feature change in Exchange?

(Please expand Parameters and read AccessRights to get a better understanding for what I'm describing.)

Did you try adding AvailabilityOnly or LimitedDetails in your $temp variable for Calendar folder? These would set it to "Free/Busy time, subject, location" or "Free/Busy time" respectively....
Add-MailboxFolderPermission - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298062(v=exchg.150).aspx
The following roles apply specifically to calendar folders:
AvailabilityOnly View only availability data
LimitedDetails View availability data with subject and location

Help - Lion "custom access" permissions mess

I should start with an apology... I know there are a lot of threads that dance around this very issue, but it's so much I can't make sense of it.
So I'm asking anew...
Here's the situation: After months of persuassion, I finally talked my wife into letting me upgrade her Macbook from Snow Leopard to Lion. After installing, I then ran software update and installed everything else recommended. Reboot and everythign seemed to go fine, but then when I tried to delete a few PowerPC apps, the computer kept asking for her password.
Wanting to find out why on earth I had to retype the password with every toss of a file, I looked online and found someone suggesting I had to log her out as an admin and then log back in. Why that would work, I don't know, but I tried it. Big mistake.
When I tried to log her back in to make her an admin again, I couldn't get the computer to accept her password. So I then logged out and tried to log back in with my admin account which is set up on the same computer. That worked to get me in, but still wouldn't allow me to upgrade her to an admin in the system prefs.
So I THEN found this "resetpassword" trick using the Lion Recovery partition and terminal. I did that and was able to restore her password and while there, I also "reset to default ACLs and Permissions" or whatever it says inside this utility, with the logic that repairing permissions has always been a decent failsafe fix.
Okay... after a reboot and we're back in... and I run into a new problem with not having permission to do much of everything.
So, I open the "Get Info" on the hard drive to look at the permissions at the bottom of the info window. It says I have "read only" access. I figure this must be an error so, perhaps foolishly (or should I say probably foolishly), I grant Read & Write access across the board, so it reads like this:
System - Read & Write
Wheel - Read & Write
everyone - Read & Write
And then, don't cringe, I apply to all enclosed items.
When this is done, I rebooted to the Lion Recovery partition and ran the Disk Utility "repair permissions" there, too.
Upon reboot... I remember Keychain First Aid and run that too. It has errors to fix but says it was able to repair them too.
Right now... it all appears to be working fine, though it says I have "custom access" in the Get Info window for my HD.
However, I can't shake the nagging feeling that I've just used a flamethrower to clean up the living room.
For instance, I look now on my own Macbook and see that "wheel" and "everyone" in the Get Info window and see it's Read Only. And yet, I have no permissions problems right now at all.
(Update: I tried setting hers back to match mine in the same way (via the Get Info window, apply, disk utility, reboot, etc.) and the permissions problems all came back. So I went and made it Read & Write for everyone again. However, this just can't be right.)
Can anybody tell me (in easy terms, please) what I can do to get it back to what it should be?
I've seen notes on a program on xnation.com that "fixes ACLs"... and a few posts with Terminal commands... but I'm hesitant to borrow somebody else's solution, just in case it's not so good of a fit or if I don't understand it.
What do you think?
P.S. I promise to rate good solutions offered to up your point totals.

Something like this?
System - Read & Write
Wheel - Read Only
everyone - Read Only
Yes.
...software from xnation.com that is designed to reset those ACLs?
I've never heard of it. You already know how to reset user permissions.
if the system seems to be working fine, does that mean something is still broken/in danger of corrupting or something?
You set wide-open permissions on all files. That's insecure, and some things won't work at all, maybe not anything you use.

TS3048 Keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings

My keyboard won't link and screen is locked, I cant access Bluetooth settings. What do I do?

First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Otherwise see these support articles:
Mac mini (Mid 2011 and later) and iMac (Late 2012): Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.
