Network Permission problem??

Hi everyone. I have a problem I am trying to solve with my Mac network.
I have three computers going through a 802.11n router.
Computer A: is an iMac just purchased.
Computer B: is a Mac mini my wife uses.
Computer C: is a Macbook Pro
I have a users account on all three computers.
I type a sermon on computer C and want to save it to an external Hard Drive that is located on Computer A. I am connected on that computer as well through my user account and see it on my computer C. When I try and save the file I get a message to the affect I don't have permission to perform that operation. I have check my permissions on the external drive by choosing it when on Computer A and making sure the user account has read and write permission. I tried to see the Network from Computer B and can't get it to see the other computers. I can from the other computers get to Computer B and save files to Hard Drives connected to it. I do need to solve the A to C problem though. Any ideas what I might need to do? Don't say buy a PC or get Windows 7 I don't want to go there.
Thanks in advance for your help

Normally external drives are set to ignore permissions altogether. Can you save the file from Computer A - the machine attached to the drive?
It sounds like the drive has FAT formatting or something and doesn't like the characters in the file name.

  • Network Drive problems with Fast User Switching

    I have a USB drive connected to my Time Capsule and shared to the network. On one of my computers (Mac Pro) I have 2 user accounts which access the data (music, photos). The first one to access the drive after a power on has no problems, and everything works perfectly. However, if I Fast User Switch to the other account, it can see the drive but cannot access it (permission problem apparently). I then have to click the disconnect button in finder, and reconnect, and then can use it again fine. Then when I switch back to the first account its the same deal, having to disconnect and reconnect. It is really annoying, since it marks all my itunes songs as missing and whatnot. Does anyone know how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Yes, under Sharing in System Preferences both users have been added to full access of the drive. I had to do that for the non-admin account to be able to access it at all.

  • Facing permission problem for accessing database

    {color:#0000ff}Hello All,
    I have just started in this forum. I am very new to j2me and facing problem and I need your help.
    I had successfully signed the application and it was working properly on device. Next I added login module in my application where I am accessing a PHP from server which is having MySQL DB connection for usercheck. When I try with unsigned jar it works properly and when I try using signed jar it is showing me wrong username/password. I think it is midlet permission problem.
    It would be very nice if someone can tell me what might be the possibilities that it is going wrong.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    -Anuradha{color}.

    Signing MIDlet has nothing to do with how data is send over the network. So please be sure that your signed MIDlet is not corrupting your data.
    If you are receiving correct username / password at server side, then its server's responsibility to validate it Your MIDlet has posted the parameters right way.
    I would suggest you to check following things
    1) Check if server is validating the username / password.
    2) What response does server sends you back after validating username / password. Check on both ends.
    3) Check how your midlet processing the response from the server.
    4) Do you get any exceptions?
    but I am doing database connection through php which is on server, I hope it is not wrong way of doing it.Doesn't matter what technology is used at server side to connect to the database.

  • How to fix 10.4.6 network permissions problems

    Here is how to fix it problems with 10.4.6 and network permissions. It isn't a permission problem, per se, but rather the fact that 10.4.6's network permissions improvements also cause it to respect the Locked file flag. You could manually unlock files and folders, but for most people that is impractical. It will be much faster if you run this from the server (find/install the appropriate version of the developer tools - Tiger version of Xcode will not run on Panther - on a client machine and copy /Developer/Tools/SetFile on to the server). Also, I would try the first one first and only do the second if you are still having trouble.
    For changing directories, run this from the command line, filling in the path to your network volume (any spaces will require you to enclose the path in quotes):
    find [path to network volume] -type d -exec /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a l {} ';'
    For example,
    find "/Volumes/Network Share" -type d -exec /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a l {} ';'
    If you are having trouble with files as well, execute:
    find [path to network volume] -exec /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a l {} ';'
    Cheers,
    Nathan

    Hi Nathan,
    I want to ask you do I run
    find "Volumes/Network Share" -type d -exec
    /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a | {} ';'
    everytime I login the the network volumn? Then next time when I login to the network server, the server will not be locked. Or I have to run this everytime?
    Thanks,

  • Permission Problems after Migration

    I have been overcoming numerous problems following a FireWire migration of files from a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11 to a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.2. Nothing seemed to make the transfer seamlessly, but I have managed, after great effort and help from this community, to get the following migrated "correctly" (version changes in parentheses):
    Address Book groups and cards (4.0.6 -> 5.0.1)
    iCal calendars (2.0.5 -> 4.0.1)
    Safari bookmarks (4.0.4 -> 4.0.3!)
    Mail local folders (2.1.3 -> 4.2)
    iTunes music (9.0.3 -> 9.0.3)
    iPhoto pix (5.0.4 -> 8.1.1) - but "rolls" to "events" still needs work
    The current problem is that a few of my files (so far, all password-protected Excel files) are Read-Only on my new machine. Not knowing that it might be an issue, I selected a different User Name on the new machine from the one used on the old machine. The machines are connected over the same network, and I have logged onto the old PB from the MBP successfully. Via Get Info, I have changed the permissions of these files from Read Only to Read and Write for Everyone, but I am still unable to save changes to these files. The Owner of these problem files is listed as the old computer's User Name. I doubt this is relevant, but I am also in the middle of changing from Office X to Office for Mac 2008. Using a tip from a MacWorld article of 3/28/08, I added the old User Name as an alias for the new User Name. This did not solve the problem.
    I would truly appreciate any tips that would solve this problem quickly. I am extremely disappointed that the migration has proven to be such a painstaking exercise, one which is not yet complete.
    Bob

    Baltwo, your suggestion solved the problem easily. I gave in and restored the new machine to factory conditions and then migrated over FireWire seamlessly, with everything completely organized as expected. There was never any option to enter a new username; the old username was part of the migration. I no longer have any file permission issues.
    I think the problem arose because I did not have a 9 pin FireWire cable when I started and attempted to migrate over the network - an option that was available. That did not work (due to permission problems!), but somehow I must have created a username on the new machine that ended up causing all of the problems.
    Thanks again for pointing to the exact solution to my problem.

    So I created another account and it works fine there. Compared permissions between the two accounts and they appear identical.

  • Back End Permission Problem

    Hi everyone,
    We encounter permission problems with our Visual Composer Applications.
    We have created three applications using the visual composer and accessing a BI-system as backend
    But the developer has super_user permissions and we dont want our endusers to have them.
    Therefor we created new roles only with the permission to see that specific report.
    But now, the users are not allwoed to see the data.
    The error says, that I should ckeck the permissions.
    Well, I did. The user can execute the queries I used directly with BEx - no problem, but within the VC-application not.
    So I assume  the problem are permissions in the portal.
    If I give the user super_user permissions it works, but thats not what I want.
    I want the user having minimal permissions in the portal.
    Is there somebody who can help me?
    Sincerely
    Mark

    Hi
    Your problem looks like portal authorization issue. There is separate role for 'End Users' to execute & view the portal iview. Just check with your EP administrator, he will solve the problem. There will be role like -
    *VC_Role.
    *eu_Role.

  • [MX 2004} Can't upload! The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem

    I'm running MX 2004 on Windows XP. All's been well for the
    last few months, doing site maintenance at this part-time job. I
    get tangled up a bit in checking files in and out, coming from
    GoLive, and since there's no one else with FTP access, yesterday I
    told it to check the entire site in. I didn't have any changes I
    didn't want to commit, and I figured that would keep things a
    little neater.
    As of today, I can post revisions to existing pages, or
    resize image files, but when I create a new page, or try to place a
    new image file on an existing page, I can't upload it.
    So, to be clear: I have two pages already up on the site,
    index.html and apple.html, with a link between them. If I create
    new page banana.html and make a link to it from index, index.html
    will upload that revised link, but banana.html is refused with the
    message
    FTP error: The file may not exist, or there could be a
    permission problem
    I know the file doesn't exist (remotely); I just made it.
    I've gone to Prefs and disable Check In / Check Out, which didn't
    do me any good. What next?

    Can you open the FTP log, select one of these new files and
    upload it- then
    cut and paste relevant part of the ftp log?
    Also- does this site have a "host directory", a subfolder
    that your public
    files need to go into? If yes- is this folder listed in the
    host directory
    line of the remote server info?
    And odd past thing i've seen-
    Had hosting that used public_html as the public folder name.
    They also had a symbolic link named www that pointed to
    public_html
    Could upload/download existing files with www in "host
    directory" line of
    dw; but could not upload new files or work with files in
    subfolders.
    changing to public_html instead of the www symlink fixed this
    for me.

  • Permission problems after upgrade to 10.5 on early Power PC G5 Tower

    Permissions problems after upgrading to 10.5 on a client power PC (early) G5 tower.
    Problems include folders that are created on XServe via this client do not allow any one else including this client to access. All other clients running 10.5, which happen to be newer Intel machines do not have this problem. Repairing permissions, updating to 10.5.1, try to manually correct permissions have all failed to repair the situation. All clients log onto the XServe with the same user/password. This client has since been downgraded back to 10.4.9 and has no issues.
    The Xserve runs 10.3.9, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    We have read through the forums regarding permission problems after upgrading and even tried some tips found here.

    You really should check things out first before speaking.
    Here are the requirements for 10.5;
    Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard requires:
    A Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or Power PC G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor
    512 MB memory or more
    A DVD drive for installation
    9 GB of available disk space or more
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider, fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple's MobileMe service; fees apply.

    My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

    Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

  • Looking for a way to solve permission problem in windows 7

    one of the biggest problems i have with this windows that even that i'm an administrator and the owner of the computer i always have permission problems folders i get a no access errors with files and folders even thoughe i should have full permisions i belive system restore doesn't work for me because permissions problem and i don't know what to do anymore i'v used uac i'v disable uac i downloaded a registry file to take owernship on files and folders and still problems so what can i do to solve all this problems?
    and to be honest i really don't like the way windows 7 behave with permisions this is my computer and i am an administrator why do i have to fight to access folders like System Volume Information,Recovery,Documents and Settings why do i get the lock icon when i take owenership and i'm on the users list but when i add users everyting is fine?
    10x in advance.:)

    Hello,
    This is by design. You cannot access the folder or files are protected by operation system even if your current user account is Administrator.
    System Volume Information is a hidden and protected system folder that the System Restore tools uses to store it information and restore points.
    In Recovery folder, there are two files: Winre.wim and boot.sdi. With these two files, you are able to boot the system to Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and do a repair without inserting a Windows 7 installation disc.
    If you want to access the protected folders like “System Volume Information”, use the following method, but I do not recommend you do this. It may cause some potential problems:
    1. Right click the System Volume Information folder and choose Properties.
    2. In Security tab, click Edit and then click Add. Type in “everyone”(without quote) and click Ok.
    3. Then “Everyone“ will be listed under ” Group or user names”, click Everyone, and check “allow” full control option.
    As BurrWalnut said, the “Documents and Settings”, it is a junction. A junction point is also a protected operating system folder that points to another folder. The junction point is an important part of application compatibility and does not contain any data or other files. In Windows Vista and Windows 7, the “Documents and Settings” folder has been replaced with “Users” folder. All of your user profiles are saved in C:\Users\User name folder.

    I'm in the process of publishing the following note (134280.1), titled "How to Resolve ORA-29532 Java 2
    Permission Problems in RDBMS 8.1.6 and 8.1.7".
    It will be accessible from Oracle Support's "Metalink" site.
    "How to Resolve ORA-29532 Java 2 Permission Problems in RDBMS 8.1.6 and 8.1.7".
    Problem Description
    Periodically an application running in the Enterprise Java Engine
    (EJE) formerly known as the "Oracle 8i JVM", "the JSERVER component", or
    the "Aurora JVM" will fail with a "java 2" permissions error having the
    following format :
    Note : Message shown below have been reformatted for easier readability.
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
    usually followed by a detailed error message similar to one of the following
    messages :
    Example # 1

    Hi, Don,
    I solved the problem of security exception I mentioned at java procedure topic as following:
    ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.SecurityException
    I tried to use your solution as following:
    call dbms_java.grant_permission('SDE', 'java.net.SocketPermission', 'ORCL.COHPA.UCF.EDU','resolve');
    but SQL*plus gave me a error message:
    invalid collumn.
    What's the problem?
    However, I call a grant command as following:
    SQL> grant JAVASYSPRIV to sde;
    and then that exception is gone. What's the difference between dbms_java.grant_permission and grant command?
    Thanks

  • Permission problems in my newly installed hard drive from iMac 1 TB Seagate Hard Drive Replacement Program. Is that normal?

    Just got back my iMac with a brand new replacement hard drive through the iMac 1 TB Seagate Hard Drive Replacement Program. With only apps installed, no files and fonts added, the hard drive already shows permission problems. Is that normal? The replacement hard drive is a Seagate again, ST31000528BAS. Do people like their replacement hard drive?

    Just now looking at these... Last recall 2009 MacbookPro Video issues, I waited 4 years and it took 4 trips to apple store with video of the machine problems... Days and months past, finally with stern discussion with manager, got resolved. Now Drive recall on work machine... better take advantage now. IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!
    Should have thought of it... Have TM full back up... (will look into clone next time, now that I see this). Take in 27iMac running 10.6.8, 5-7 days, what a joke, my boss will be happy to pay for a week without working. Finally get, "if you have TM back up, 3 days." Get machine back with 10.6.3, hit the R recovery, click TM back up, runs for 2 hours, reboots, looks great. Box up take back to office... update to install - OH CRAP, still running 10.6.3. Updates crash with error on install, BUG PROBELM, nothing runs.
    Call Apple... after hours, tells me to boot using 10.6.2 disk, wipe, reinstall OS, udate to 10.6.8, THEN do the restore. GREAT! Only thing 10.6.2 DVD won't read... now back on phone... take back to the store, Genius says, "Oh, can't boot a newer system w/ old disk, that's why it won't read." PROMISES it'll be fixed, if you leave it over night... GREAT!
    Pick up next day, supposedly, booted to disk, wiped drive, reinstalled, updated to 10.6.8 and did the RIGHT restore... Looks GREAT... apps run and 10.6.8 OS. Back to the office... CRAP!! not running right... fonts messed up, drop box app needs new install, cocktail needs upgrade, Fetch not working, memorized paths gone... back ups locked out of permissions... ***!!
    4 hours on phone with apple and still not solved. Evidently... either different account names caused problems... and/or they never restored personal "settings". Seems there are 3 ways to restor... Running Migration Assistant, Restoring after they load a new OS... or NOW WAITING for them to send me a bootable 10.6.3 disk and then boot from disk, w/o installing OS and doing a restore from TM.
    Can begin to make enough stink!! So now can't back up without doing a full 400 GB back up and possibly destroying any good back ups... can't work, liek having hands tied behind back. WAITING for solution! TICKED OFF!!!
