More Permissions Issues

I have been experiencing a multitude of permissions issues on my XServe/RAD as of late.
When I try to copy a file to my RAID I get an error message that reads:
"You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long for the destination..."
But it doesn't matter how long the name is and I've never had this problem before.
The server is an older single 2GHz G5 PPC. The RAID is the same age.

you are having it sounds like the same problem(s) you had before with this.
Did you clean install? start from scratch? clone with SuperDuper? Run Disk Warrior?
Made sure that the Get Info for the destination system volume has "ignore ownership" not selected? it shouldn't be anyway with an install or internal hard drive.
Hopefully this is brand not a GREEN variety drive?
It is normal for some messages to show when running REPAIR PERMISSIONS and I'm not sure what you installed or why AirPort and others are listed.
If you continue to have problem keep eye on Memory tab in System Profile, and test your RAM with Rember/Memtest and AHT.

  • Reporting Services Point - possibly permissions issue

    I'm having a really hard time configuring a working reporting services point in my test SCCM 2012 R2 environment and was hoping someone might be able to help me work out what's gone wrong.
    My servers are WS2008 R2.  SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed on the primary site server and holds the site database.  I installed SSRS onto a separate site server and added it as a reporting services point.  This worked, and I see the list of
    reports in the SCCM admin console.  However, when I try to run a report - either from the console or via web browser - I get this message:
    The default value expression for the report parameter 'usertokensids' contains an error.  There are no logon servers available to service the logon request. (rsRuntimeErrorInExpression)

    SMSAdminUI.log shows this message:
    [25, PID:3096][06/12/2014 11:24:05] :[fqdnofprimaryserver] : The request failed with HTTP status 503: Server Error.
    Now, the reason I think this is a permissions issue is because srsrp.log on the Reporting Point server shows this:
    (!) Error retrieving folders - [Login failed for user 'domain\reportingservercomputername$'.].
    (I've removed the actual name here, obviously.)
    I'm really puzzled about what's going on here, what is trying to authenticate with the SSRS server's machine credentials, and what for.  Looking in SQL Server Management Studio on the primary site server which hosts the SQL database, I can see that
    the account has a login listed and it has its default schema listed as DBO.  On the SSRS server, in Reporting Services Configuration Manager, the Report Server Service Account is set to a dedicated domain user account.  The Current Report Server
    Database Credential is set to my own Windows login using Current User - Integrated Security - I can't seem to get it to accept the dedicated user account.
    Can anyone help me figure out what's gone wrong and how I fix it, please?  I'm by no means a SQL person, and I'm at my wit's end with this!
    Thanks,
    M

    The plot thickens.
    The SSRS server has these:
    "The report server has detected a possible denial of service attack. The report server is dropping requests for service from the IP address 192.168.113.163" (this is the IP address of the primary site system, which hosts the SQL database)
    and then
    "Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database"
    The primary site system, meanwhile, has got thousands of these:
    "Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\SSRSSERVERNAME$'. Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: 192.168.113.164]" (that's the IP of the SSRS server)
    The Windows firewall is off for both systems.  They're on an isolated test network.  I still don't understand where the setting is that tells it to make SQL queries using the SSRS server's machine account, rather than the dedicated service account
    I created.
    Any more ideas?  Thanks for your help so far - I really appreciate it!

  • "screen shot can't be saved" and other permissions issues

    After having my iMac at the Apple Store for four days solving a problem with "quit unexpectedly" issues with all Apple built-in Apps on OS X Yosemite, I got the machine back with those problems solved.  It involved re-installing OS X and restore files from backup.  I thought all was well; the Genius Bar dude showed me that it's fixed. He said it took so long because of bizarre permissions issues he'd never seen before.
    Now that I've lugged this 40lb machine back home (after verifying the fixes in the store) I now find that several (other) functions don't work.  When I try to do a screenshot, I get this message:"Your screen shot can't be saved.  You don't have permission to save this file in the location where screen shots are stored."  Message could have been more helpful; the "location" is the desktop.  Pretty descriptive, though.  Seems I can't save anything to the desktop.
    I tried creatng a folder on the desktop.  Got this message: "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this".  Type password and new folder appears.  Drag the new folder to the trash, get same message..
    I tried copying a file from a network drive to the desktop. I get this dialog: "Modifying Desktop requires and administrator name and password.  I clicked "authenticate" and after a 3 minute delay (with "Preparing.." ) I get this dialog; "Finder wants to make changes.  Type your password to allow this".  I type the password and the file appeared on the desktop.  Before the work at the Apple Store, this never happened.  BTW I have only one user account and it's marked "Allow user to administer this computer".  Thinking something might be goofy with the pw, I changed it (took 3 minutes to do, oddly) and rebooted. No joy. Same thing happens when I try to drag something from the desktop to the trash.  Long time "moving" message followed by having to provide and admin pw.
    I tried to save a Safari attachment to the Downloads folder and got this message: "Safari could not download the file xxxxx because there is not enough free disk space".  Since I have more than 600GB of available space, I think the message is wrong and that it's really a permission issue with the Downloads folder.
    Tried to reset the password again.  Click to unlock the Users & Groups panel, get "System Preferences is trying to unlock Users & Groups preferences.  Type your password to allow this".
    All this tells me that somehow Yosemite is in "nag" mode (reminiscent of Windows Vista.
    Any ideas?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Permissions Issue, Colour Wheel, Hard Drive Issue??

    Hi!
    I have had issues with my mid 2009 MBP recently and I'm wondering what the best way to fix them would be. 
    First off, I have some major permissions issues with my accounts.  I am using 3 different users regualrly on the same machine and needed to access files from the home folder so I changed them a long time ago, and am not sure how to fix that.  I have repaired the permissions countless times in the disk utility and it seems like there's always loads more to do each time.  When I varify the disk, it says its all okay.
    Secondly, I have had the machine freeze on me several times while doing very little on it.  This happened awhile ago, and thought that it was just the permisions thing and so I did that again, and it started working better, for awhile.  It would go a few days or weeks before doing the same thing, sometimes not even getting past the apple logo on startup before freezing.  This makes me think it may be a hard drive issue???????
    This morning, I tried dozens of times to boot, with no success at all.....  until about the 25th time when it miraculasly booted.  I have run permissions repair a few more times and it seems to be working okay at the moment, but the problem seems to be happening more often over time. 
    To complicate matters, I am traveling at the moment and will not be home for several months.  I purchased an external harddrive last night and was able to successfully back up my data. 
    Question 1: Is it the permissions that are causing these problems, or is it related to something else.  The computer seems to work fine when its working, and then once in awhile, decides its not going to do anything. 
    Question 2:  Would upgrading to Lion (currently running 10.6.8) fix the permissions issues or just carry them forward?  I would like to consolidate the 3 users into one, if that would solve it.  Does the migration utility preserve permissions or does it give you a brand new start?
    Question 3:  If neither solving the permissions or the OS upgrade would fix the problem and it does need a new harddrive, is it possible to buy one and install it myself?  I do not have apple care left on this machine and am on a very tight budget.  I am used to taking things apart and all that as part of my job and it seems simple enough.  Where can you buy a replacement?? 
    Hopefully someone out there will be able to help me out on this one. 
    Cheers!!!!

    Disk Utility permissions are separate from User account permissions.
    This link is how to fix them
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2181549?start=0&tstart=0
    Disk Utility will always show something to be needing repair, but that's ok

    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?locale=da_DK
    Verify Disk is good, that's a good thing.

    Your data is backed up, hopefully not with TimeMachine alone, but if you did, then get another drive and backup data manually to that as well. If the TM drive gets messed up, it's a pain to get your data off of it.
    Question 1: Is it the permissions that are causing these problems, or is it related to something else.  The computer seems to work fine when its working, and then once in awhile, decides its not going to do anything.
    Well you could call Apple for replacement 10.6.x disks, and just reinstall 10.6 and bundled programs, but this can kick out kext files out of the /System/Library/Extensions folder installed by some third party software.
    This method fixes OS X, but doesn't touch your files or most programs.
    Nor will this method fix your Users accounts if the issue is in there.
    A creation of a new user, then deletion of the others, return files from backup (set permissions) will fix User folder issues if the above user permissions fix doesn't work.
    (Of course you could wipe the drive from the 10.6 disk, but you have to install all software again)
    Would upgrading to Lion (currently running 10.6.8) fix the permissions issues or just carry them forward?
    No, you don't want to install Lion, it won't fix those issues in User folders, not only that Lion has it's own issues and doesn't work with a lot of older software etc.   No use clusterfscking a already bad situtation when it's seems it's only localized to the User accounts.
    I would like to consolidate the 3 users into one, if that would solve it.
    Yes that could very nicely and tidy up things in the process.
    What you do is transfer all files to one regular powered storage hard drive.
    (Don't use/disconnect the TimeMachine drive for this as it preserves the users seperated and you don't want all those users back restoring  with Migration Assistant)
    Create the New User on the machine as Admin, log into it and delete all the other Users, transfer all your files back from the regular storage drive, changing all the permissions to yourself before placing them into their respective folders as they will have three different permissions.
    Notes:
    If you have a extensive iTunes playlists on one User (say #1), then create the new user with that same name (will require some work, create User 4, delete Users 1-3, reboot, create User 1, delete User 4) then transfer your iTunes folder to Music of that User 1 (same name as before). This will preserve the pathnames of your song locations and your playlists will be preserved.
    (before you ask, no you can't combine playlists)
    Also if you have photo's in iPhoto Library, you have to right click on it and "show package contents" inside is a folder called Originals, copy them out and import into the iPhoto of the User #1.
    Does the migration utility preserve permissions or does it give you a brand new start?
    Yes it preserves user permissions, no it doesn't give you a brand new start. Only a fresh install, creation of new users and then just transferring of files does that.
    Nothing about TimeMachine or Migration Assistant gives one a "fresh start", it's if hosed, so is your restore.
    If you want that sort of pristine protection, you need to clone your ideal boot partition/drive using Carbon Copy Cloner (free/donationware) occasionally as a hold the option key bootable drive, then you can erase and reverse clone the pristine saved clone.
    One can also update the clone on occasion, this way keeping the clone pristine.
    I maintain 3 clones time dated, even have my boot drive partitioned 50/50 and auto-cloned, this way I have two boot partitions on the road and two externals at home.
    I never use TimeMachine, it's not bootable (well it is on 10.7.2 only to restore though)

  • Permissions Issues

    I am sure that most of you who read these forums already know about recent updates that create permissions issues. I was not sure how to deal with them and needed to verify for myself what was causing them and to convince myself that they are benign. I just wanted to share the evidence with you that I monitored over a day. Specifically, what is causing these benign permissions errors are three Apple updates: Front Row Update (2.1.7) 13.3 MB (worst offender), iTunes (8.1) 65.4 MB, and iLife Support (9.0.1) 3.7 MB. I assume Apple has heard about this by now. Here are my lengthy test results:

    CONCLUSION: This is one of Apple's infamous permissions error that just "has to be ignored" and will not get fixed.
    03-21-2009 11:39 PM
    SOFTWARE UPDATE RUN
    Updates Listed:
    MESSAGE: "Your software is up to date."
    FINAL CONCLUSION:
    The following installers create unusual Permissions issues that do not seem to go away but seem to not be a danger.
    Front Row Update (2.1.7) 13.3 MB (worst offender)
    iTunes (8.1) 65.4 MB
    iLife Support (9.0.1) 3.7 MB

    GWD2008,
    I too am having permissions issues with Front Row, iTunes, and iLife it happen just after the update. However researching into the problem they are just shortcuts to an original files. Which on the original files Permissions are correct and the reason the permissions are wrong on the shortcuts is because of the little l. I was unable to fix the permission error myself in Terminal and in Finder. And in my opinion as long as the programs are running with no problems its nothing to be to concerned over. As for ACL or SUID files you can just ignore according to apple. See this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
    Resolution
    You can safely ignore any "SUID file" or "ACL found but not expected..." message. These messages are accurate but are not a cause for concern.

  • Permissions issue locks me out of my desktop folder

    Hi All.
    I have a worrying dilema that I am hoping someone can advise me on.
    The symptoms are:
    *1. A blank desktop after start-up (files, folders and volumes are not loading)*
    *2. It takes an extremely long time for the "Devices", "Shared", and "Places" lists to populate in the open-dialogue sidebar.*
    *3. Saving files from applications takes an unusually long time.*
    *4. All other apps and non-Finder related activities appear unaffected.*
    *5. If I navigate directly to the "Desktop" folder in my user folder in the Finder, it appears as an alias. I double click on it and a window appears which says it is trying to resolve the alias, and soon after I get this permissions error:*
    *"The folder “Desktop” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."*
    So overall this appears to be a permissions issue impacting my desktop directory. A similar thing happened six months ago. On that occasion I tried repairing permissions which didn't help and I ended up creating a new user account and restoring from Time Machine.
    I'd prefer not to have to do that again. More so, I'd like to actually fix the root cause this time.
    My appreciation in advance for any advise that at least makes my desktop reappear.
    Best,
    Wade.

  • Permissions issue only the FIRST time I try to overwrite a file.

    I've a standard user account and I've found overwriting protected files is bugged in Leopard.
    As an example: every time I'm upgrading Camino web browser with the latest nightly build (by dragging the new version from it's disk image, and into the Applications folder) I get a permissions issue the first time only. As usual I am warned I will need to authenticate, then I am warned I will be replacing a file, then the first time only I get told I do not have sufficient privileges on one or more items to continue. The second time I try I am allowed to progress to the authentication window where I enter my admin username and password and the operation completes.
    The same thing happens with other files I'm trying to overwrite that are located in protected folders (I just use Camino as an example because it is a daily occurrence). But it ONLY happens the first time.
    This has persisted through three erases of my brand new iMac's HD and clean installations of Leopard. I have of course run Disk Utility multiple times to repair the HD (no errors found) and repair permissions (just the usual ACL errors every Leopard user faces).

    Hi,
    What's the error message did you get? It would be better to provide a screenshot for your problem.
    Generally speaking, this problem can be caused by third party adds-on of IE. You can try to start IE with no adds-on mode for test.
    Open run, type iexplore -extoff, pess
    Enter.
    If it works properly, please chck which plugin enabled in your browser, try to disable them for test.
    In addition, this can also be caused by IE settings, try to reset IE for test.

  • Permissions Issue on Internal Hard Drive?

    I was having problems with an iMovie file, and I discovered that by moving that file to an external hard drive, the problems magically went away. I've noticed some other things as well—leading me to believe that I probably have a permissions issue with that original drive.
    I've done a "get info" on that drive and all privileges say "Red and Write." I've repaired permissions also, but it's less than confidence-instilling when it finds about 50 problems every time I do it and they're the same problems every time.
    Do the problems with this drive sound like a Permissions issue, a Privileges issue, or is it likely to be a different problem with this drive?

    Not Permissions, probably. More like Privileges. There are 2 drives that sometimes won't let me save things to them. It tells me I don't have privileges when I'm the only one who uses this Mac. Doesn't do it all the time—only under certain circumstances, which I haven't quite defined yet. I put that together with this iMovie problem on one of these drives and assumed that they went together.
    Again, iMovie was giving me buggy problems while the file was on that drive. Moved the file to an external drive and now it's stable as can be.

  • How have you migrated user data? (Permissions issues).

    So far our upgrade from Tiger server to SL server has been fairly painless. I chose to do a completely clean install and then migrate users at a later date (after exporting them from the original configuration). I do have a complete bootable clone of the Tiger server install, so I can go back to that install at any time to check on things, so that's been a real help.
    But here is one snag I should have anticipated: permissions issues! I've tried several times now to migrate a single user account from Tiger server to SL server. But I'm getting massive permissions issues on the account. I've tried migrating the user data using Carbon Copy Cloner, or copying the file via. the Finder (what a pain), and in both cases when I login as that user on a client machine I have only read access (or even no access) to critical files.
    What methods have you used to successfully migrate user's directories? Alternately, what did you do to fix permissions issues for migrated users?
    Thanks.

    i use rsync for all transfers and then make sure ownership and perms align.
    are you talking about moving homedir data from old server to new, homedirs on client machines, or something else entirely? regardless, you'll need to ensure all of the pieces work together. stay away from finder copies or most gui tools. you'll have more control and more reliable results from the command line. passenger offers some folder migration functionality if you need a gui, though i've never used it for that. http://macinmind.com/?pid=2&progid=1&subpid=1

  • Weird permissions issue update

    (see thread below for 7/12/08 "Weird permissions issue"
    I re-installed the 3.1.1 final version of CCC, did another backup, (both HD and clone now had Security update installed (as was the case with the backup using the CCC beta) and, voila, no more permissions errors there either.
    So, it would seem, the problem stemmed from the differing security packages, not CCC.
    BDAqua: I owe you points. Thanks again for your help.
    By the way, is there any conceivable Mac executed scenario by which files can end up in the trash (besides "recovered files") without intentionally placing them there, (not counting sleepwalking and unresponsive, zombie states)? This has happened.

    There were about 7 or 8, all documents: Appleworks.cwk or Word or Word.doc. and one was saved in Simple Text. They were related in content and could have come from a few places as they were grouped, saved in several locations, but really impossible to trace where they resided just before they ended up in Trash.
    I don't want anyone to get too bothered about this. It's one of those things I guess they call an anomaly when no suitable explanation can be found. I was just curious to know if it can happen according to some process in Tiger I don't know about.

  • Permissions issue with OSX 10.5.8

    This is likely a newbie question. I am new to OS X, but I am familiar with Linux/Unix Terminal usage.
    I have a permissions issue with OSX 10.5.8.
    I cannot use basic commands on the Terminal, such as mkdir, on my own home directory. I get an error message saying the operation is not permitted.
    I have traced the probable culprit down to default ACL permissions settings.
    So after hours of research on Google, I found out that ACL are turned on by default in OSX 10.5.8.
    But I don't know how to safely use it yet, so I need help.
    I'm not quite familiar with ACL, so I need to know how to add myself safely and securely to modify my home directory.
    The command is with chmod. Can this also be done via the GUI?
    What is the option for chmod to modify my home directory?
    Is it:
    *$ cd ~*
    *$ chmod +a "user:john allow write" .*
    *$ chmod +a "user:john allow delete" .*
    Alternatively, if I use the "chmod -N ." command on the home directory, will that safely remove all ACL? Or is that recipe for a major security hole in my machine?
    Thanks!

    There are many people on this board that know way more than I do. Sometimes there is the tendency to copy/paste some kind of boilerplate response though, especially if there isn't quite enough information about a particular problem, so just keep trying.
    You should be able to add anything you want to your user directory without the use of any ACL entries. The purpose for the *deny delete* entries on the system created folders would probably be to reduce customer service calls about "accidentally" deleting some of the folders that the system expects to be there - it does not affect creating items.
    To verify that there aren't other attributes getting in the way, open the /Applications/Utilities/Terminal application, copy/paste the following command(s) into the window (there is a trailing space), drag the problem folder(s) from a Finder window to the Terminal window (this will paste the path), press return and post back with the results:
    /usr/bin/who am i; /bin/ls -leO@d
    These commands will display the ownership and permissions, including any ACL entries and extended attributes.
    On my Leopard user folder the permissions are drwxr-xr-x+ with an ACL entry *group:everyone deny delete*. These permissions allow read/write for me, read for everyone else, and an administrator authentication will be needed to delete the folder. These are similar to what you posted earlier, so maybe there is something else going on in there.

  • How do I migrate from one user to another to resolve sleep/permissions issues?

    My MacBook Pro's been having several issues, mainly with waking from sleep. I've tried Repairing Permissions, Repair Disk, running tools like OnyX and Drive Genius, but they can't find any issues. I checked the Console log, and there was some sort of denial from displaying the login window after I woke up from sleep.
    Initially I thought this had to do with some of my peripherals being plugged in when I already had the lid closed; the Mac would wake up, not realize the lid was closed, and never go back to sleep. Nothing--keyboard or trackpad touches--would wake the machine up. I'd have to hard reset by holding the Power button on.
    I had an Apple Genius suggest that I create a new user and test it out with the (same) default sleep settings as the buggy user account. It wakes up from sleep lightning fast, and has thus far never had any issues.
    I'm leaning toward sticking with this new user and migrating over my things bit by bit, to try and avoid potential permissions issues. But since I don't know where the source of this sleep problem lies, how should I go about it?
    I've read through Pondini's Transfer Guide here http://pondini.org/OSX/Transfer.html, but I'm just wondering where people would start, knowing that the machine has had permissions issues with some files. (The permissions issues, btw, I believe were caused by a mangled Time Machine restore. I replaced my internal HD with another one, but the Time Machine/Migration Assistant restore wasn't complete. I did it a second time from within the user account that got created, then tried to delete the malformed one and rename the complete one, but that's when the issues started.)

    I wasn't intending to move the entire home folder, rather, moving things like what's inside my Documents folder in chunks.
    From what I read, tracking down the origin of sleep/wake problems on a computer is notoriously hard, especially if Disk Utility and similar tools don't give any clues during Repair Disk or Repair Permissions. Creating the new user seemed to help, but I don't know why that alone would "fix" anything, so I haven't moved any files as of yet nor done anything with the new user account.
    Trying to move the things from my Library folder to my desktop also seems a bit risky; it's hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion because a lot of system files are there, right? Wouldn't moving them cause problems, not just help me find what file/folder (if any) could be the culprit?

  • Can't Customize, Change Settings, or Move Files -- Permissions Issue?

    Hey all:
    Just got a new MBP w/ 10.5.2. Successfully migrated most of my user settings and applications from the old Tiger HDD (old laptop died a horrible death).
    The problem is that aside from everything appearing to be the same, I'm finding that I don't have the access to do a whole lot with my own files. Several different problems that "seem" like they're stemming from the same accessiblity/permissions issue include:
    Intermittent trouble downloading files with Firefox's default download tool.
    Complete inability to change desktop background.
    Programs fail to remember setting changes after quit and re-launch.
    System Preferences do not remember changes to settings.
    Certain files can not be moved, renamed, opened, or deleted w/o admin authorization, or in some cases, at all.
    The problems started after I migrated the old system over after having an interim user account running for a few days prior. After migrating, I attempted to reconcile the two together and that's when things got hairy.
    In the past couple days, I have tried:
    1.) Archive and Install (preserving User settings - now down to just one admin).
    2.) Changing permissions to system read/write, admin read/write, everyone read only for the entire /User directory, applied to all enclosed items.
    3.) Repairing Permissions (which took about 10 minutes!)
    I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm stuck with my OS acting the way it wants to, which is the exact way it was after being archived and reinstalled, no matter what changes I try to apply in the Finder, Preferences, or in any programs.
    I'm thinking maybe a clean install and then migrating over the backup I just made on my external HD will get me my stuff without whatever troublesome thing is freezing me out, but I'm not really sure, and I don't really understand much about command lines in Terminal.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.

    Oddly enough I just had a spastic moment with a mouse click and put my Drop Box in the Trash (I keep the Delete thing in my window toolbar, which is handy, but can lead to accidents)... Since I was playing with it I noticed its absence immediately. Realized what I had done after a moment's reflection, and put it back. Which just goes to confirm something I ALWAYS do before I empty the Trash: open it and see what's in there first, then click empty.
    As to whether removing ACLs is for advanced users only: well, up until Leopard that's the way it always was, there were, until now, NO ACLs on the users folders. So should everyone have been an advanced user until now? Did you ever delete a folder in Jaquar or Panther or Tiger and empty your Trash without checking? Indeed, if you use Time Machine, available in Leopard but not before, you are already protected from such goofs, since you can recover things accidently deleted using Time Machine, so actually you are in better shape with Leopard than ever before, WITHOUT the ACLs if you use Time Machine. Until Leopard there was neither belt nor suspenders to automatically protect you from losing data. Leopard supplies both.
    The situation reminds me of the continuing debate about virus protection on the Mac. Personally, I have seen various anti-virus programs cause all sorts of problems, and it has yet to protect any Mac system from anything (since as yet there are no Mac system viruses). Anti-virus software may have saved some users of Microsoft Office who share files with Windows users from getting a macro virus in their Word docs, and it might have kept a Mac user from passing on some email virus to some Windows users by forwarding stuff from the Internet. But still.... if you don't use MS Office or forward email junk, you get no benefit and may get some problems.
    Same seems to me to be true of ACLs: it is possible to get a benefit (you can't accidently toss your Movies folder and lose data, assuming you mindlessly empty your Trash and don't have a backup), but an awful lot of people are having an awful lot of problems.

  • Updating link to Word Doc is causing a permissions issue

    Hi.  I am attempting to update a link to a Word file, and it is causing a permissions issues in Word when I try to open the Word document back up while the InDesign file is still open.
    Is there any way to link to a Word document that can be worked on while the InDesign file is being worked on?  I think I can use buzzword as an alternative, but I'm looking for the easiest possible solution.
    Thanks!
    Alicia

    Word checks for locked files. In that if another app is using the file, you can not open the file until the other app closes the file. It does this to make sure word has the lastest version of the file. This is partly due to word being using in an office environment were multiple people can be working on the same document.
    Since word is fairly quick to open. You could use the edit original icon in the links panel of InDesign. Make your changes in word once the document opens, then use the keyboard shortcuts ctrl-s to save and alt-F4 to close word.

  • Permissions Issues or Just A Midlife Crisis?

    A little background:  All of my computers are running Windows 8.1 Pro.  I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Printer.  I'm trying to setup scan-to-computer so I can scan from the printer's front panel to any computer on the network.
    Here's the dilly:  I have two laptops which I installed the full feature driver on from HP's website.  I only use these computers with an administrator account.  There are no other user accounts on the computer.  Works flawlessly.  I'm able to login and scan something from the printer's control panel to the computer right away.
    Here's where it gets a little hairy:  I have two desktops that I've installed the same full feature driver on from HP's website.  On each desktop there is an administrator account and two standard user accounts.  I login with the administrator account.  The software works flawlessly.  I'm able to scan-to-computer right away with no problems at all.  However, when I login to either standard user account I get the following "Scan to Computer is currently unavailable" dialog box everytime I restart the computer or logout and log back in:
    During this time I'm unable to scan anything from the printer control panel to the computer as the printer will not find the computer on the network.  If I leave the dialog box up without dismissing it the message automatically changes to the following "Scan to Computer is enabled" within about a minute or so:
    The dialog box stays up and I have to dismiss it everytime but after it changes to "scan to computer is enabled" I'm able to scan flawlessly to the standard user account without problems.  My question is how do I prevent this dialog box from happening?  Is it something on my end that needs fixed or a bug in the software that only HP can fix?  It seems like maybe I'm having a permissions issue somewhere since this dialog box doesn't pop up for the computer administrator accounts and only pops up for standard user accounts.  

    Thanks for all your responses and help on this.  I was able to resolve this issue on my own in case anyone was wondering (but you probably weren't judging by all your chattiness).
    But in case you were here's what I did:  From each standard user account I had to open the printer software then click on "Utilities" at the top.  From there I clicked on "Printer Setup & Software" and was prompted for the administrator password which I entered.  Then click "Connect a New Printer" and follow the steps to connect a new printer.  Then I restarted the computer and the Scan to Computer dialog boxes for the standard users were gone and I could scan from the printer's front panel!
