Modifying the ownership of the content of the Applications folder ...

Hi,
Over time applications where installed by drag and drop, from either admin or non-admin user. Overtime admin user became non-admin user or vice-versa. Finally overtime the Applications folder's ownership gets really mixted up.
Is it a good idea to modify the ownership of the Applications folder's content ? By content I mean modifying the ownership of all folders and content inside the Applications folder ?
If yes, what sould be the permission/ownership of all the Applications folder's content ?
Thanks in advance.
Robert Lespérance

Don't change the ownership/permissions of the Applications folder itself, nor of any Apple applications.
Apple applications' permissions are owner:root read+write, group:admin read+write, and others:read only. As for third party applications that install by drag and drop: typically they are read+write for the user that installed them, and read only for all others. From a functional standpoint, the discrepancy is really not a big deal. But if you want to change everything so that third party apps' permissions match Apple apps' permissions, enter these Terminal commands while logged in to an admin account:
sudo chown -R root:admin /Applications/*
sudo chmod -R ug+rwX /Applications/*
It is generally good to log in to an account where the user does not have write access to applications; because a malware could modify the app without the user's knowledge in such a case. For this reason it is a good idea to use a non-admin account for everyday use, and only log in to the admin account when a certain task requires it.

  • HT4889 How do change the ownership of files after using the migration assistant?

    After I copied all of my files across using the migration assistant, the tool is nice enough to assume that I want to use the same ID that I had on my PC.  This is not my case as I am using a different name on the mac.  How do I get the files from the other user name?  I have already set the sharing permissions so that I can see them on both user ids, however the only way I can see to update is to copy them all.  As I have about 1TB of files, this is a little inconvenient.  Any thoughts?

    Thanks.  It got me on the right track.  At the end, I copied the 1TB over and just deleted the other profile.  I tried to set the ownership to my regular ID by removing the lock from "Get Info" but I still had to move them out of the other "user" folder.

  • When I try to move the new firefox icon into my OSX applications folder I get a message telling me I don't have permission. How can I get the new version of Firefox into my applications folder?

    I downloaded the new version of firefox for Mac OSX.
    I dragged the firefox icon over my applications folder.
    A message window asked if I wanted to replace an older version of the application. I clicked "yes".
    Another message window popped up and said I did not have permission.
    What now?

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • I have downloaded and 'installed' Mavericks, restarted but it's still 10.8.5 and the Mavericks Install is still in my Applications folder.  I've done this three times, still no result.  Help!?!

    Can anyone help with this?  I've searched the help databases and can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere.

    Do  you have the 5.3 GB Mac OS X Mavericks installer application? Please do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Now try installing Mavericks, but before you do I recommend you put a copy of the installer in your Downloads folder and make a backup of your current system.

    Well Well Well..
    That would not work...
    What you have to do is save the uploaded file content on to a location and then pass the fileName as a request parameter to a deidicated which displays the contents of that file.
    Just as an example

    However,this is not the recommended way of doing this make use of MVC pattern.Would be a better approach.

  • Adobe Functional Content and the Creative Cloud

    Hello All
    To any Adobe Employee who may read this, can you please get someone at Adobe to take control of this issue and see that the library, templates and all other functional content gets packaged correctly and enabled as a download and "sub-install" for the parent product inside the Adobe Application Manager.
    I think as subscribing users we should get better service and direction from Adobe in regards to this functional content. As I type this I have more than 10 tabs open, each one leading to a thread that has something to do with how to install and fix a problem with the Functional Content for After Effects, Premiere Pro and Encore.
    See if you can in less than 30 minutes figure out exactly what to do to activate this content by reading these threads:

    I have been very reluctant to do anything because I am reading a lot of conflicting and incomplete information. This link in particular, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-missing.html, is really unhelpful because there are 3 methods to do something but reading it I am not sure if each method does the same thing or if each does one part of the 3 sets of missing Functional Content. Additionally "solution" 3 presents a place to put the content but then leaves out the path we are to do it to.
    Most disappointing is the fact that the first "solution" did not get me the menu buttons I am looking for in Encore and I don't know if I screwed up or if the install was incomplete for some reason.
    Do I now need to install one of the other "solutions"? Those of you in the community that are about to hit reply, please don't. Do not answer that question.
    Here is why...
    Adobe is responsible for delivering us customers a product. It is Adobe's responsibility to fix the mess that a number of paying customers are having regarding this Functional Content.
    TO ADOBE:
    Here is what I and I think a lot of other subscribers want you to do:
    You already have a Solution in place. One that doesn't require a lot of user intervention and doesn't require anyone to pick a "solution" and screw it up, search for more help and spend hours of their time fixing a mess.
    Adobe Application Manager. Create the proper installation packages. Put them on the servers, tell the AAM how to clean up the mess any users who have tried these "solutions" have made. Then have it install the proper packages as a "Sub-Installation" for each of the parent software that it is for.
    This solution will not only make things better for us end users, but you will also make the manageability of the Functional Content easier for your teams as well. And if your teams wanted to add additional Functional Content to any program that is part of the creative cloud or that the Adobe Application Manager manages, then it would be a simple matter of creating an installation package and adding it to the AAM's list of installable programs.
    You just did this exact thing with Lightroom 4.1! Why can you not do this for the Functional Content?!?
    Back to the Community Members that want to answer my post. Don't. Instead if you agree with me or even if you don't, sign off on this thread or indicate your virtual thumbs down. Either way I don't want an answer, I want an action from Adobe, the only ones who can fix the mess.
    I really believe that the Application Manager is the most elegant solution. If any of you have ever used Steam, you know what a great feeling it is when you can download a game demo, try it, buy it and just have everything take care of itself. I don't even have to worry about updates; Steam takes care of my games. And the thing that makes it really valuable? I DON'T PAY $50 A MONTH TO USE STEAM AND HAVE IT JUST WORK, IT IS FREE!
    All I want at this point is Functional Content that I don't have to read a 50+ page manual to install. I know that is an exaggeration, but honestly if it is 1 badly written set of instructions or 50 what does it matter? I don't pay Adobe so I can read up on how to install their software; I just want to use it.
    I guess I should also point out that this is now the second large hold up to my project that I started subscribing for. The first was a problem that I again had to figure out the solution to by working around it, when again Adobe seems to be unable to correct the problem, here, here, here and here.
    And now here I am again at a slight stand still because I can't use my DVD authoring software to create a button on a Wedding DVD menu.
    Okay, you can go ahead and reply... but I would still prefer no answers, just /agree or /disagree.

    Did you even read the post?

    For now though please reference Library, title templates, template projects missing: Premiere Pro, After Effects, Encore CS5 - CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-mi ssing.html for information on how to obtain the additional content.
    Have you read the page in your link?
    Can you correctly install from the instructions on that page?
    And I quote:
    Additional Solution: Install the Resource Central library content   
    Download the extra library content
    Choose your language to begin the download:
    English French German Japanese Italian Spanish Korean
    Extract the Library content to the Library folder
    Extract the zip file that you just downloaded. This will create a .7z file, eg. en-US.7z.
    Extract the .7z file to any convenient location, eg. Desktop. This will create a folder based on the language you selected.
    Copy the contents of the language folder (eg. en-US) to the following location:
    Keywords: cpsid_85388
    Where? Copy the contents to where? I don't see a path written there... is it a secret? Do I have to highlight the hidden text? Nooo... that didn't work...
    Honestly I must appologize for my brashness and sarcastic attitude. I find it questionable to expect the paid subscribing creative but not technically inclined customers to do the work of fixing this problem when Adobe has the means and the tools to fix it for us.

    Ok. Fair enough, I will admit that last night in my anger and frustration I was being a little childish.
    But as a Community Professional don't you believe that you would be better served by Adobe if they were to make one easy simple Adobe Application Manager download for the content that should have been published right at the launch of the new version? Wouldn't your time be better spent actually working on your projects rather than fixing Adobe's mess and responding to people in 10 different forums trying to help them?
    All of this also makes me wonder how Adobe prioitizes the "bugs" that people are dealing with. Wouldn't it be quick to put a someone or a couple of people on the problem of gathering the functional content and getting them to package it and ready it for publishing through the AAM? The process of adding it to the list of installs might be more complicated but a package that knows where to put the content? I would think that something like this could be give a get it done now priority as it would aleviate a lot of the forum posts and something like the missing export choices in Media Encoder or Premiere Multicamera Issues would take more time due to investigation and so you put them on a priority based on the number of users affected.
    It just seems to me that a month after launching a new version is an awfull long time for the publishing of an update to add functional content that was in all the previous versions.
    I guess I will stop "ranting" now. Thanks for responding Jeff AW, at least I have official word that there will be some sort of update on this issue.

  • How to get the dID of any Content from SS_DATAFILE in Site Studio 10gR4?

    Hi,
    I am trying to get the dID of a Contributor Data File from its dDocName (SS_DATAFILE). I can do a search based on this Content ID but if I am able to get the dID using one of the Site Studio variables, it will be great.
    Thanks,
    Justin

    Hi Sapan,
    I am trying to customize a Dynamic List element to display the list of related content for the contributor data file. For this, I use the GET_RELATED_CONTENT service exposed by the Oracle RelatedContent component which needs the dID as a parameter. Now in a Contribution Region, I can get the the dDocName (Content ID) of the datafile from the SS_DATAFILE Site Studio variable. However, I need to get the dID from this Content ID.
    Thanks for your reply.

    The topic does not exist. Contact your application vendor....
    From the individual projects I can see the topics. When I publish them and view the contents all seem to work fine, but it does not when viewing the entire project from the main table of contents.
    The main project looks as follows:

    Tried that and still have the problem. The RH help lists the following workaround for the error

    To workaround this WinHelp viewer limitation, you can either manually insert the Help filename statement on every page of the external CNT file or allow RoboHelp to automatically do it for you:

    The people here are visitors who might have knowledge and might choose to share it, if they have the time, and feel like answering a question. Your questions, instead, suggest that you think it is someone's job here to answer your questions. If you want it to be someone's job, you should raise a support case. This too will require patience.

  • Problems with the Search for room content

    Hi,
    I face a problem configuring the search for room content using KM search iView (com.sap.km.Search).
    I found the chapter Configuring the Search for Room Content in the help. So I set up the following things :
    1- I assign the room_id iView parameter to the roomid room parameter (in the template)
    2- I added room_cm_search component to the component set (I added it at the bottom of the "component for basic search function")
    3- I select the entry "Folder" as the default search scope in the search option set. I specify a root folder for search as well.
    But it doesn't work properly. It always returns "no result found". And if I add the room_cm_search component at the top of the "component for basic search function", It runs the search on all the documents of the default search scope, and not only on the room documents.
    Can you please tell me the right way to configure the search for room content using the com.sap.km.Search iView ?
    I work on EP 7.0 SP 10.
    Thanks a lot,
    Loïc LEVEUGLE

    Hi Loic,
    the Room Content Search iView is a special Search iView that is filtering for documents that were created in the Room Context (all documents get a specific metadata that is keeping the roomiD) . The easiest thing is to use the standard iView used for the delivered templates from SAP.
    I would advise to use the iView that is already preconfigured for a room template or part template and can be found and referenced in your template from the following path: Portal Content ->com.sap.ip.collaboration--> TemplateAndPartContent --> Generic -->iViews and take the iView "Search Room"
    If you reference that iView in your room template or room part template, you have to think about the correct configuration in the template configuration iView. Just take as example the configuration of the part template "SAP Search Room".
    Or even better: Copy a template (room or part) from SAP that is containing the Room Search and delete everything what you don´t need out of the template. You safe time and you can add all additional content you´ll need to your template. Some ideas can be found in the following "How to Guide":
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0496f69-cb70-2910-21a6-c4cf2cc66311
    What you have written under 3 -> would never work as the root folder for search doesn´t make any sense as the documents of a room are stored in different folders and you can´t define a root folder. Therefor you have the specific room_id parameter that is filtering what documents belong to the room.
    Good luck,
    Anja

    I'm glad to hear someone who doesn't have this problem. I tried that to make a connection between my phone and PC, but then I am unable to accomplish that: it says (on my phone) how I'm not playing something... :@ I mean "WTF, it is a bluetooth...".
    I did disable the software from starting, but I is not all of the software - it is all around me: in main many, in control panel... And I can smell some other processes running!
    Also, the computer continues to restart it self for no reason, and it has to do something with installation of Toshiba BT...
    I will remove this thing from my PC even if that meant reinstalling operating system!
    No, I don't have Toshiba notebook... Maybe I had, if that was one part of the uninstalled components.
    I don't get it, it looks like Toshibas developers wanted to scr*w with us - why did they make it so hard to remove all of those components. The internet is full of peoples post who had the same problem as I do!

    PROCEDURE PR_TEST_BLOB2 IS
    RES_BLOB CLOB;
    DEST_BLOB BLOB;
    SRC_BLOB BLOB;
    CURSOR CUR_TEST_BLOB2 IS
    SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR(STR, '[^,]+', 1, LEVEL) FROM (SELECT UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(BLOB_VALUE) STR FROM TEST_BLOB2 WHERE TEST_ID=10)
    CONNECT BY LEVEL <= LENGTH(STR) - LENGTH(REPLACE(STR,','))+1;
    BEGIN
    OPEN CUR_TEST_BLOB2;
    LOOP
    FETCH CUR_TEST_BLOB2 INTO RES_BLOB;
    EXIT WHEN CUR_TEST_BLOB2%NOTFOUND;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(RES_BLOB);
    DEST_BLOB:=UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(RES_BLOB);--converting clob to blob;
    SELECT BLOB_VALUE INTO SRC_BLOB
    FROM TEST_BLOB2
    WHERE TEST_ID = 10 FOR UPDATE;

    COMMIT;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE CUR_TEST_BLOB2;
    END;

  • Email: "the message has no content" ??

    I have had my 3g about 10 days now, and email has been fine. Until yesterday, I started getting this weird message that says "the message has no content". Or I will get weird content, something that looks like the message is in reveal font setting. When I check my email from my laptop its fine. Some, not all, of the email that was already on my phone before yesterday are showing up normally. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    I've seen "the message has no content" or "the message has been partially downloaded" often. Usually, it's b/c of a large message or something in heavy HTML. If I wait and have a decent connection, the message usually appears.
