No longer have permissons to RAID drive

Hi. I was able to create a 1TB Raid and store all of my info. Now, however, I cannot access the drive. I can see the folders and files, but when I try to open them I get a "This operation could not be completed. Unexpected error occurred (error code -43)." Under sharing and permissons, I can only "read." There is no lock button to unlock and for me to change the permissons. I can also no longer add new files to the RAID drive.
Under the disc utitiliy it has it lised at RAID Set, online, but with a lock button under each slice.
Raid Set Name: StorageRAID
Volume Format Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
RAID Type: Mirrored RAID Set
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I cannot view the RAID in my windows bootcamp either. I can see the drives under computer management, but they are listed as status "Healthy (GPT Protective Partition)."
They also say they have 100% free space, which should not be the case. OS X at least notices 200GB is used.

In 10.7, I No longer have permissions to files I created in 10.6

I upgraded to Lion back in 2012 from Snow Leopard on my Macpro 1,1 (Because it can't go any higher than 10.7)
And to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro 5,5.
One EXTREMELY ANNOYING change that was made (and continuing in Mountain Lion) is that I no longer have permissions to my files that once belonged to me in Snow Leopard.
And when upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6, this was never a problem.
If I created files or folders within Snow Leopard, once I upgraded to Lion (and Subsequently Mountain Lion on my Newer Macbook Pro), I have lost my rights to those files.
For example:
When I try to delete files off my system, I have to enter the password for my Snow Leopard OS (the password on the OS when the file was created). Luckily I didn't change it. If I didn't know the password, I would not be able to delete the file from my computer.
When I try to move a file or folder, instead of just Moving the location of the item, it creates a Copy instead, which takes up twice the space (Yes I know there are work arounds for this such as moving to the trash then recopying, but that still takes a lot of time).
What are the fixes to this?
Adjusting Share & Permissions in Info does not work.
Fixing Permission within Disk utility does not work.
Holding down the Command key also does nothing.
The OS is saying I do not own the file so I have to have the password from the true owner to do anything to it.
Please help. This is extrememly cumbersome.

Could you further elaborate on this Migration Assistant?
See How do I set up a new Mac from an old one, its backups, or a PC? for an explanation of the difference between Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant and links to the gory details of each.
Using Migration Assistant instead of Setup Assistant usualliy causes permissions problems, as detailed in the pink box in Problems after using Migration Assistant.
But you didn't use either; you just copied things from one user account to a different one (it may have had the same name, but a different UID), resulting in the same problem.
I created a file using OSX Leopard. I used a different password. Then I saved the file as I detailed above to the external drive.
I upgraded back to Mountain Lion and dragged the file back to my computer. When I tried to move or delete the file, once again, it asked me for a password before I could delete the file.
This time, it would only accept the password from my system, when the file was created.
If I tried to type in my current Admin password, it would not move or delete.
The version of OSX doesn't matter. You must have used two different user accounts -- they might have had the same name, but different UIDs.
One user, even an Admin user, doesn't normally have permission to a different user's files.
This is very frustrating.
No doubt. Since you won't read the links that would fix the problem, you're not going to understand or be able to fix it.
Again: One user, even an Admin user, doesn't normally have permission to a different user's files.
Last time -- there are two very different things:
• Repair Disk Permissions via Disk Utility works on files installed by OSX or the OSX installer; not files you created, and not files on a disk that doesn't have OSX installed. See About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
• Resetting Password and/or Home Folder Permissions sets the permissions on files in a home folder to the defaults.

Don't have permissions to data drives after replacing system drive

In my 10.4 Mac Pro, the hard drive with the OS died. I have two more hard drives in there that I store all my data on, those are fine. I bought a new drive, reloaded OSX, created a administrator account during setup, but now I don't appear to have access to my data drives. I did a command+i and tried to reset it to my administrator account and group having read & write, and everyone else having read & write (as other people use this computer too, we all share the data drives so the permissions need to be wide open for everyone) but it says I dont have permissions to do it.
Anyone know how i can blow open the permissions on those two data drives?

Thanks - I did go there but couldn't find my specific issue addressed.
In any event - I've since discovered that the two HD in question (although I use them on a daily basis with no problem) both had "Ignore ownership on this volume" checked in the Info window. The two I COULD access (via Time Machine) did not.
So I unchecked that box on the 2 problem drives and, when I went back into TM, was able at least to select each hard drive with no error messages.
Unfortunately, execept for the "Today" state, TM would NOT go back in time to show files on either of the two previously-locked drives for all of the yesterdays that it backed them up.
Unless I can figure out how to access Time Machine as "System" I think all those archived files are lost to me on the two drives.

No longer have permissions to access Time Machine.

I can no longer access or write to my time machine. i am not sure when this happened, because the previous recent occasions i've had to access it, i've done through my MPB, which, if you will read here (https://discussions.apple.com/message/16071164#16071164) i have managed to possibly seriously bork.
i do know that i have been successfully backing up to the machine up until at most 2 days ago and possibly just yesterday when the above disaster occurred.
now i cannot access any part of it.
i cannot find the "invisible" file that controls its permissions, though to be fair i'm not entirely sure where it lives. BUT, i do have hidden files showing, so that's potentially helpful if i can find the .001xxxxxxx-whatever file.
i cannot change the permissions on the desktop icon. they now sit with only everyone:read only and no others.
i cannot add a new user to the permissions; it says the name is invalid. probably because the whole thing is just read only.
after my as-yet-unresolved MPB nightmare, this has very nearly put me over the edge. please help.
running: 10.6.8

Can you tell if it's Time Machine that's showing that error message? I took a look at item C5 in Time Machine Troubleshooting. It specifically refers to Leopard (OS X 10.5), which is another confirmation that the old advice you found about that hidden file no longer applies.
yep. it's time machine. when it tries to back up and fails, a message displays about it being read-only and to go ahead and repair it or reformat it. if i go to time machine prefs and select that drive to use for backup, that's when the other message about "necessary read, write and append privileges" displays.
So you mean the Desktop icons for the mounted Time Capsule disk, etc. The icon for the volume containing the "sparsebundle" files should have an AirPort fan, not a network volume icon with the three people. Item B4 of Time Machine Troubleshooting mentions that, although I'm not sure the advice given there would be useful in your case.
yep. i know, but that's what's there, nonetheless.
If you launch AirPort Utility, put the Time Machine into "manual setup" mode, select the Disks panel, then the File Sharing tab, is "Enable file sharing" checked? What is the setting for "Secure Shared Disks"?
i checked and tinkered with this part already, too. it has always been set to enable. it originally had with "time capsule password", then i tried also with "disk password". now it's back to TC password. again, everything was fine a few days ago, and i haven't touched any airport or TM settings in probably a year or more.
small update: i was able to get into the capsule's backups finally after a few more passes using disk repair, so i can see that it was happily backing up until the 1st, when i had the aforementioned problem with my laptop. i can't see this being mere coincidence, so i know i must've also damaged the permissions for the TM/TC at the same time.

Can no longer repair permissions using firewire drive

attempting to boot from a firewire drive with 10.6 to repair permissions of a different 10.6 drive no longer works.
even though there's an OS on the drive, when launching Disk Utility, the Repair Permissions button is completely greyed out unless you select the actual boot drive
looks like we might now ONLY be able to repair permissions using the 10.6 boot disc

I no longer have permissions to my external HD

I can't open my external disc which has my Time Machine backup as well as other data. I have spent hours trying the obvious stuff but it looks like it's to hard for me. The volume is 1 of 2 partitions on an external. 1 partition is a 600GB FAT(which I can access) and the other is a Mac Extended Journal which is the one that has a little lock on it now and I cannot get into.
Has anyone else had this problem and found away around this?
Cheers for Xmas.

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

RAID drive failed

I have a external RAID drive purchased from OWC. It failed. Most likely the housing no longer works. I have been told that without a housing designed for these particular drives I can't plug the drives into another case or adapter to access my data. I just want to see if anyone else had this problem. The RAID, while showing power via the power light, does not appear in Finder or via Disk Warrior

The housing isn't what's important, it's the raid implementation. RAID1 is technically very simple, but there are many mutually incompatible implementations. OS X software RAID makes the partition type code different from a normal JHFS+ volume, and the partition begins with a significant amount of metadata for the raid software rather than the JHFS+ volume header which normally begins immediately at the start of the partition. So without software that explicitly understands the partition type code, and the raid metadata, extraction of data isn't a given.

I just installed Lion and have no desktop hard drive icon. How can I make it reappear?

How can I gain access to my hard drive directory? Since installing Lion yesterday, I no longer have a desktop hard drive icon to click on, so cannot see my folders.

Select Preferences from the Finder menu and click on the General icon in the toolbar. Check the boxes for items you wish visible. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar. Check or uncheck the boxes for what you want displayed in the Finder's sidebar.

Partitioning a new laptop's RAID drive for scratch disc

I've now set my heart on getting a laptop. I'm doing to much on my old desktop, and getting a laptop is hopefully going to ease the burden & open up some possibilities. Certainly the specs will way better.
I'm seriously thinking about getting a Sony VAIO AR71ZU.
http://vaio.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProduct.action?product=VGN-AR71ZU&site=voe_en_GB_cons&cate gory=VN+AR+Series&assetid=1218032875460
It has a lot f features I like & has 4GB of RAM. Unfortunately it's Vista (Ultimate), but that's what things are coming with now, so that's that.
It has 640GB of HDD space:
Hard Drive Type Serial ATA RAID 0 (0 and 1 supported) 2x320GB
Hard Drive Capacity (GB) 640
Hard Drive Speed (rpm) 5400
The two 320 GB drives look are joined -"con.... something" ! sorry I've forgotten the name for this- the opposite of partitioning. Hence it the drives are seen as one drive. Well for Photoshop one wants a second drive for scratch disc purposes doesn't one. Can I partition this 640GB (320+320GB) drive ? Anyone out there know ? Is it an ok thing to do ?
[One of the added features is "HDD recovery (hidden partition)". I assume this is the backup /recovery facility that comes with Vista Ultimate ? Anyway, it may be of note, as it mentions "hidden partition. Would this interfere with any partitioning ? ]
If I can partition then would it be wise to go for three partitions: one as the main program drive; one for most documents & files; and one for back-up/ other stuff including for use as first scratch disc ?
Anyone wise?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
[I'm also been looking at the possibility of an Alienware laptop, but really I'd rather put that money elsewhere. (Eventually a new desktop but not yet.)]

Thanks, most informative.
I'm considering an Alienware laptop.(Though, expensive!) One can have the double RAID drive, and there is something called SMART BAY which bascially is 3rd drive. Maybe this is a way around things- perhaps get that & make that for the scratch disc...an expensive way around things!

My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up. I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order. What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

I have a MacPro that for some reason FCPX briefly "sees" my Raid drives then acts like the Events there don't exist. Seems like it wants to treat that drive like a "camera". Any ideas..help.. It sees the Main drive no problem.

I am having a problem with FCPX seeing my Raid drive as a Drive and not as a Camera.. Don't know what I might have done to change things..it was working fine and other than backing things up to external harddrive..not sure what happened. I reinstalled FCPx, checked the disk permissions and verified it with the disk utilities. any suggestions?
I am using a MacPro mid 2010.

Repair disk permissions for an external RAID drive?

Hello,
We are able to repair disk permissions on the hard drive, but can it be done on an external SCCI RAID drive? Is there software that is recommended that will repair and fix issues such as if the RAID drive was improperly removed without ejecting the drive? Or is that not needed?
Thanks,
Jordan

DiskWarrior repairs your directory, throws in some limited optimization (iPhoto's open in half the time is about all really), so if your "directory is out of order" it's not that big a deal really.
It's good to have on the shelf if you have a lot of Mac's, but ever since Tiger rolled around it seemed a lot of directory problems have disappeared on single user machines. It's pretty expensive for it's limited options.
With a RAID O (stripe) setup you should Disk Utility Erase w/Zero before setting up the RAID and laying data down. (in fact this is wise for all new drives at least once)
RAID O's should always be cloned (in the case of a boot RAID O) or backed up quite often because if one drive goes the whole set with data is lost.
Mirroring (RAID 1) is only necessary for extremely valuable one time data captures where a hard drive failure would be awlful. It doesn't make a good backup because any corruption, mistakes etc get immediatly written to the second drive.
Using automated cloning and backup software is better like (search Apple) DeJaVu. Auto clone the whole boot drive once a week and auto backup certain folders of files nightly.
Since cloning I haven't really too much need for drive maintainance software, if my RAID goes down for a data reason, (hasn't yet in 2 years of 24/7 operation) I simply option boot off the clone and repair/recover/reverse clone. I'm done in a hour, I even go out to eat or something while it's reverse cloning.
A good piece of software to have is (search Apple) OnyX, it's automation section will do a lot of cleanup and fixing certain things. Good to run it about once a month.
To find out more about cloning, visit Carbon Copy Cloner forums, they have donationware software too.
