Mac Permissions issue when Runtime already installed

Situation...
I am writing an Adobe AIR Application using CS5.5 and AIR 2.6. I use the NativeProcess.start() to call a program which handles our licensing. NativeProcess supported requires the NativeInstaller. On the Mac (10.6.3 Snow Leopard), this is a DMG files produced on the command line with adt and the air file generated by CS5.5.
This all seems to work just fine when I install completely from scratch (Adobe AIR Runtime NOT yet installed on the target machine). The installation process requires my admin password, everything installs just fine, and everything works just fine.
The problem begins when I install to a target machine which already has Adobe AIR Runtime installed. I note that no password is requested by the OS during installation, and during runtime, the NativeProcess.start() call throws exception Error: #3219. I took a look at the permissions of the program which handles our licensing. Our license supports says to expect the following: -rwxr-xr-x (3 x's). However, I only see -rw-r--r-- (no x's).
Is there a way to require an Adobe AIR Application, which is being installed on a machine that already has AIR Runtime, to require the password from the user during installation? Or at very least, to have the right executable permissions?
Thanks!

Our application uses a licensing service to prevent illegal copies being run. The licensing service is realized through an executable which pings a server in order to activate the serial code entered by the user. In the AS3 code, we use Adobe AIR 2.6's NativeProcess support to call NativeProcess.start(), trigging that executable to perform said ping. The executable is included in the AIR file, which is converted into a Native Installer (DMG) via the adt command provided by the Adobe AIR SDK for Mac.
While I'm not able to provide you with a build at this time, I'm confident that if you simply attempt to launch an executable from a Mac via an Adobe AIR Application, you will easily reproduce this issue. Just to be sure, here are my specifics again:
Original AIR File:
Windows XP
Adobe Flash CS5.5
Adobe AIR 2.6
Generate the AIR file
Native Installer:
Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.3
Adobe AIR SDK for Mac
Use the AIR file to generate the DMG file

HT4356 I downloaded Printopia Demo to my Mac laptop, but when trying to install it, a window comes up showing the printer is recognized, but there is no button to go any further. What do I have to do?

I downloaded Printopia Demo to my Mac laptop, but when trying to install it, a window comes up showing the printer is recognized, but there is no button to go any further. What do I have to do?

Close the window and print .... Read this for the details. Once you install it - you should be able to print from the print option in any app.
I have downloaded the demo twice. I forget exactly how to do it, but it is very simple. If you installed Printopia, just try to print something - try a web page or a photo. Tap the Arrow icon in the upper right corner in most apps to get to the print option.

Installing LV Runtime on PC with VEE Runtime already installed?

My LabView programs have to coexist on a PC that has Agilent VEE programs on it already. At least until my programs are fully accepted, then the VEE stuff will slide to the side.
Can LV runtime be installed on a machine that has VEE runtime on it already?
Will both work fine together?
Anything that I should look out for when installing LV runtime so that it does not make the VEE programs unusable?
Jim
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi you don’t say which version of runtime and if you are using agilent GPIB cards?
The quick answer is yes they can run together, I would uninstall io libs install NI visa and the runtime programme.
Re install io libs, it will install itself in side by side mode.
Have a look here this will run you through the steps required.

Power Mac G5, freezes when trying to install operating system

Hello,
I have a PowerMac G5 that I think that the hard drive is bad. It is a SATA 160 GB Drive. I got a new drive and tried to install the Operating System (10.3 black CD) and it won't boot just flashing question mark.
I have a Grey DVD (Power Mac G5) and when I try to boot it gets to the apple screen then freezes with lines across the screen.
I have an apple hardware test V2.5 and it ran the quick test and said hard drive was loaded. I ran it before and the old drive did not even appear.

Permissions issues when getting started

Hi, I'm trying to create a test "Hello World" app on our IIS server. When the user clicks a button a pop up should say "Hello World!", which is a string returned by a WCF web service on the same server. I have no problem getting the service to work on an aspx page. But in Flex debugger I get the error:
[SWF] /TestProject2/TestProject2.swf - 1,110,380 bytes after decompression
Warning: Domain our-server.local.ourserver.com does not specify a meta-policy. Applying default meta-policy 'master-only'. This configuration is deprecated. See http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files to fix this problem.
Error: Request for resource at http://ftp-server.local.mycompany.com/Service_Upload.svc/basic by requestor from http://upload.mycompany.com/TestProject2/TestProject2.swf is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to http://our-server.local.mycompany.com/Service_Upload.svc/basic halted - not permitted from http://upload.mycompany.com/TestProject2/TestProject2.swf
I've created a crossdomain.xml file and tried various settings to try to open up access, including adding *.mycompany.com *.local.mycompany.com, etc., and at the moment I'm using this.
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<cross-domain-policy>
    <allow-access-from domain='*' to-ports='*' />
</cross-domain-policy>
No matter what I do I get the permissions error when my Flex app calls the following function:
<![CDATA[
import com.mycompany.HelloResultEvent;
    import com. mycompany.Service_Upload;
    import mx.controls.Alert;
    public function sayHello():void {
        var service:Service_Upload = new Service_Upload();
        service.addhelloEventListener(
            function (event:HelloResultEvent):void {
                Alert.show(event.result);
        service.hello();
]]>
I got a demo project to call an external service. Why am I getting this permissions error on my own server, especially when the service and the swf are on the same server and the crossdomain.xml seems to clearly open up permissions?

Hi Louellen
After you go to 'eprintcenter.com' and click the sign in button there will be another window with a sign up button, after you sign up it will ask for the printer code. After that you will be asked if you want to customize your printers email address.

Permissions issue when seeing DVD drive in Encore

Hi,
I currently have an issue when using CS4 Premiere Pro Encore in that I can see the DVD drive available (build) when I have admin rights to the machine, but when I change those admin rights to Power User, the DVD drive is not seen by Encore. I am using the Roxio DE 10.3 (Dell's cut down version) as a DVD/CD writing software.
I would be very grateful for any help on this issue.

As far as I know, Premiere/Encore REQUIRE Aministrator right to operate fully

Hp photosmart b109n-z on a mac 10.5.8 having already installed on win7 2nd laptop - issue

Hi, I have a HP Photosmart Wireless B109n-z printer. I setup the printer for the wireless network and then the first laptop has windows 7 op system. I installed this in the usual way and it worked fine. However, i tried to install the printer on the 2nd laptop with a Mac 10.5.8 operating system. This can be found using the IP address in system preferences which i got from the other PC. The Printer at first printed a test page but not anything else. I have tried to re-install a few times but with the same result. I have also re-installed the driver and this had no success. Previously we changed the wireless provider and due to the short nature of the change (2 months) we never installed the printer on this. Ever since we changed back to the original wireless provider the issue has been seen. It should be noted that it is the same provider but different id. Any help on this would be great.

First, you will have to re-install the printer just like you did originally. Do not use the CD for software, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
Now that the printer is installed, on the Mac reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Click on the Default tab, not the IP tab. Look for the printer with Bonjour next to it, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

Air installer issue on IE8 when runtime not installed

The standard badge is great, but on IE8, if it detects no runtine, a Flash error box 'A download error has occured. Try to download again?' comes up. If I click the (?) help icon, it first ******* about an invalid certificate. Once adding the security exception through IE8's wonderful security crap, I'm finally redirected to www.adobe.com/products/air. Unfortunately, my Mom (all our type of customers!) is not a developer which that page is for. It should be redirected to http://adobe.com/go/getair/ instead. As for the invalid cert - someone needs to fix that. please. thanks.

How to update Boot Camp drivers when you already install Boot Camp?

The last time i install Windows 7 (Boot Camp) and drivers on my Mac was a bit long time ago, and i realise that there is some new drivers available for mine, so how can i update my Boot Camp drivers, please help me, and thanks!!!

I have MacBook Pro Retina w/Lion (of course), installed Win 7 Pro 64-bit, using Boot Camp procedures and files that were issued June 14. My BootCamp Assistant says it's 4.0.4.
My question is: how do I know when the Windows Support files (drivers) are updated by Apple? I would have expected an update by now, but I just went into Boot Camp Assistant on Lion, re-downloaded the drivers, and I *think* they are all dated June 14th still. (looked in WindowsSupport folder which is where it said it downloaded them)
There doesn't seem to be a reasonable way to get notified if there are new drivers or not.
My expectation was that I could run *something* either on the Windows or OS X side, and it would *tell me* that drivers needed updating, or at least say "you are running version X".
It can't be that I have to re-download the drivers and check the dates on all the files every time I'm curious if there's updates available. Can it?
The files seem to be on some mysterious Apple server and the only thing I can do to that server is ask to download the support files. No query, no "is an update available", ... ???
It's not even clear to me that the Windows Support files have a version number.

Need to install for but mac says that firefox is already installed and I cannot find it.

I am trying to install TOR (had many moons ago and thought I closed it). It says that firefox is already running and I can't open it twice. Possibly I have firefox and possibly I don't. I cannot find it anywhere, nothing to drag to the trash. I want to reinstall it after, but I can't find it anywhere in my computer. I just get the warning when I try to install TOR.

Hello  ,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Bootcamp Issues when attempting to install Windows 7

Please excuse my ignorance.... new to Apple after using Windows for ever.
I am attempting to install Windows 7 on my new MacBook Pro 13" purchased 4 days ago. I follow the instructions from following tutorials on UTube however do not get the option to divide my OS into a mac portion and a windows portion.
I have got the original Windows 7 disc have also created an ISO version, and have formatted a USB to be MS-DOS Fat. Still no luck
On the tutorials, it states to open up Bootcamp, then divide the partitians for Windows / Mac, then load up your Windows 7 disc.
This does not happen on my bootcamp.
Im asked to create an ISO of Windows 7, which I have done
Then asked to download the latest Windows support software for Apple - which starts - but never ends
Then when attempting the third section, installing Windows 7 I get an error message stating please install the installation disc and wait a few seconds
I am using the Bootcamp that was included with my purchase of the MacBook Pro. Should I search for another one - although I appear to be up to date with applications.
I am doing this in order to use CorelDRAW via windows on my mac for my small business. Any help would be most appreciated, and please no smart comments as i am really struggling here and everything appears to be simple, but is not.
Thanks in Advance

File permissions issue when putting a file into another person's Drop Box

I frequently drop files from my Mac into a co-worker's Drop Box on her Mac. When I do so, however, the files are inaccessible to her until she does a Get Info and changes the owner to herself.
I've done file sharing of this sort between many different Macs before, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone have to alter file permissions on a file I gave to them--every single time. How can I avoid this problem?
We're both running 10.4.9.
Thanks very much.
MacBook 1.83GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I too have noticed this behaviour with the drop box and find it irritating. I don't use it much so I haven't investigated a solution, but your colleague could try opening Terminal from her admin account and entering these commands:
sudo fsaclctl -p / -e [this enables ACLs on her boot drive]
The below two lines can be pasted in at the same time (replacing "mary" with her short user name):
sudo chmod +a "mary allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file, \
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" ~mary/Public/Drop\ Box
That should allow her to have full access to any files put into her drop box. Rebooting might be necessary for the ACL settings to take effect.
Disclaimer: AFAIK this should work because I have gotten similar things working before. But I have not tested this specific solution.
FWIW, it might be easier to just e-mail her the file instead.

CE 7.2 Permissions issue when system restart/bounce

Hi All, we have just got CE7.2 system. I have created a custom developer group and added to Portal Content Folder permissions, granting full control to developers. Issue is when we bounce/restart the system the permissions that I modified for Portal Content Folder dissappears and reset to standard SAP settings.
Please advide if you know what might be causing this.
Thanks,

Dear Mohammed
The problem you mentioned is casued by this:
the initial permissions are being recreated on each server restart.
So the permissions set by you manually are lost after server restarting.
To prevent this: please login the system with an admin user:
http://<host>:<port>/nwa -> Configuration Management -> Application Modules,
here look for the "com.sap.portal.initialPermission" module,
and manually change the property "run" to "false".
Don't forget to save the change.
Afterwards, your customized permissions shouldn't be lost again with server restarting.
Best Regards,
Thunder
