No write access to files copied from a CD-ROM

Hello:
I have searched and found a few topics on fixing permissions on files copied from CD-ROM that are read only. I would like to know if there is a way to prevent the problem. I routinely get files burned on Windows machines and I can copy the folders and enclosed files to my desktop but both the folders and the files inside show up with "Read Only" permissions.
While it is possible to fix it, I would have thought that if they are copied from a CD-ROM to my desxtop that I should automatically have write access to them. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Repartitioning and reformatting will remove all the information on the drives. You will prefer to backup any data you wish to save. You can do that by transferring those files to one of the two drives using a Windows computer or by purchasing a third drive that can be OS X formatted to which the data on one of the Windows drives may be copied. Then repartition/reformat one of the Windows drives for OS X and copy the data from the third drive to this drive. Then copy the data on the remaining Windows drive to the now empty third drive, repartition/reformat the second Windows drive. Finally, copy the data from the third drive to the second Windows drive.
There is really no need for a Time Capsule nor would it be preferred since you will now have three perfectly good external drives to use for backups and/or storage.

  • NTFS issue: video files copied from Arch won´t load on other devices

    Hi!
    I'm having this odd issue... I'll start from zero:
    I have a 1TB external HDD (usb3, iomega). It has an NTFS filesystem since it was always my Windows backup drive. Since I've buyed a Digital TV that supports video playback from external drives and almost any video format, I'm using it as a movie/etc device. Previusly I had installed Ubuntu... but since I've installed Arch, any video file that I copy to the external HDD won't work on the TV. When I try to reproduce those files copied from Arch on the TV it hags and reboot several times.
    I don't know where to start. I've installed ntfs-3g-fuse package for mounting r/w without root privileges... and my user is part of "disk" and "storage" group.
    Any ideas?
    PD: Sorry, I'm not an english speaker... If it's not legible I'll try to write it again.

    Usually crash on access indicates damaged filesystem. For example drive was removed without umount-ing it.
    For start you can run file system check on your drive from Windows - "chkdsk /f X:"
    You also can run it as "chkdsk /f /r X:" to check for bad-blocks (though it is not so critical now days).
    Keep in mind - NTFS is proprietary system so 'ntfsfix' from ntfsprogs in Linux could help sometime but do not hold you breath with it.
    Better find Windows for Windows filesystem.
    Or you can just recreate files system from scratch with mkntfs - all data on the drive will be lost, obviously. But you do not need windows for that.

    Eugene.

  • No write access to file

    I have a blackberry curve 8330. I made a voice note(amr) and then I foolishly made it mid.file so I could make it a ringtone(stupid I know) now I can't delete it because it says no write access to file(or file is in use can not delete but file is not playable and it is not associated with no contacts as a custom ring). I have tried file pro manager and other file managers but I still can't get the audio file off my memory and the file doesn't play just a waste of space. Can you help me?

  • Access linux file system from windows and vice versa

    Friends
    Do anyone of you have any idea about how to access linux file system from windows using java. Thanx in advance.
    Regards
    Rakesh

    "Accessing" is vague. Do you want to read? write? Both?
    Here are two ways I'll mention.
    1. Write an ftp client for the "cleint" computer. I beleive java has some framework functions for doing this.
    2. Write java RMI client and server to open, read or write, and close a file. Pass a byte array parameter containing each block of data.

    Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  • Files copied from AFP share point are unwriteable by client

    This is the same issue as: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8044984
    Has anyone found a fix yet? Basically, when copying files from an AFP server, Leopard is not having the file inherit the permissions of the parent folder. It is inheriting the permissions of the file within /Volumes.
    I am accessing an AFP share point on a server that has files that are 644 (readable by everyone, but only writable by the owner). I am not the owner. When viewing the AFP volume on my client within /Volumes/whatever the permissions appear to be 400 (unwriteable by the owner, no access to anyone else). When I copy the file over to desktop, the permissions remain as 400 when they should obviously be 600.
    What does this mean? Even though I am NOW the owner, and it is on MY desktop, I am unable to write to the file unless I chmod it. Very, very annoying and this behavior is unique to Leopard. Tiger does not mangle the permissions.
    The server is ubuntu-8.10-server running Netatalk.
    The test clients are Leopard 10.5.5 and Tiger 10.4.11
    On the server:
    $ pwd
    /srv/www
    $ ls -l
    -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 1024 2008-11-23 23:29 test.doc
    On the Leopard client:
    $ pwd
    /Volumes/www
    $ ls -l
    -r-x------@ 1 sauce staff 1024 Nov 23 23:29 test.doc
    $ cp test.doc ~/Desktop
    $ ls -l ~/Desktop/test.doc
    -r-x------@ 1 sauce staff 1024 Dec 7 00:21 /Users/sauce/Desktop/test.doc
    Message was edited by: iSauce

    I don't believe this is a problem of leopard in general. i can not reproduce this behavior with any of my afp shares. no matter how i connect (as an owner or as a guest) after I copy something to the desktop it gets standard 644 (not 600) permissions.

  • Not able to access a file referenced from a HTML file

    Hi,
    Using UCM i am checking two files aboutus.html and aboutusBanner.png in About Us FOLDER.Checkin is happening perfectly well.
    Now In JDEVELOPER I am creating a webcenter application (named MyPortalApplication) and accessing those file using a connection to the UCM server.I am able to fetch the files under
    Application Resouces->Connection ->Content Repository ->UCM ->Contribution Folder ->About Us
    UCM I am using a connection name.
    My aboutus.html file in accessing the aboutusBanner.png to display some image.
    Below is code snippet for aboutus.html ...
    <table align="CENTER" width="930px" BORDER=0 bgcolor="white">
    <tr>
    <td>
    <img src="aboutusBanner.png" />
    </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td valign="top">
    <p style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:14px">
    <br>
    Go Green Eat Fresh opened in 1992 by three Italian brothers with a vision:
    </p>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    But when i am running the application that banner image (aboutusBanner.png) is not getting displayed.I think i am not giving the path aboutusBanner.png in aboutus.html correctly.
    Please suggest me how my aboutus.html should use the aboutusBanner.png in code given above.
    Thanks,
    Rajeev

    <img src="aboutusBanner.png" />This may reference the file while it is on filesystem (most likely on a web server, must be in the same directory).
    If you want to create a reference to a file in UCM (document repository), you need to do it differently. The easiest way (if your file is in Public security group) is to use html link to the file: e.g. http://{serverURL}/{instance name}/groups/public/documents/graphic/oly_088631.jpg (search for the file in UCM and copy the link from the search result dialog).
    A better way is to use SSXA - see this manual http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e13650/toc.htm - when your html will be constructed from a template and the image will be defined through a placeholder (you will learn to use placeholders in Chapter 3 of the manual). Since PS3, SSXA should be usable for Webcenter pages.

  • How to restrict users to access the files directly from /irj/go/km/docs/doc

    Dear Experts,
    I have made a folder in KM where I have saved some files, and also I have made a application from where user can access those files.
    But the users are able to access the files by directly typing the path of the file in internet explorer, I have to restrict it that the user should not be able to access the files directly.
    Please give your helpful suggestions.
    Warm Regards

    Hello,
    You can have a link/button react to a mouse clic by reading the KM document and putting it on the htpp flux with the correct header (this is the same kind of code that is used when you generate the pdf). As the file access is in you server-code, user will not have access to the URL...
    an exemple for the WD Java (coming from this [PDF|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0cc41cb-9576-2b10-99a6-ab90ef28c73b]), with slight modifications :
    public void exportToPDF( ) {
       //@@begin exportToPDF()
       ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = null;
       outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
       // read the file with KM API and copy it to the outputStream
       showPopUp(WDWebResourceType.PDF, outputStream, "PDF Out Put");
       outputStream.close();
    //@@end

  • File dates of files copied from my iphone to my XP system are realy off!

    Whenever a file is copied from my iPhone to my XP System via iTunes copy purchases, Sync, Etc... the file date of files copied are realy wrong! Extremely old dates are used insted of the actual date. In windows XP the file list can display three dates, The Created Date, The Modified Date and the Last Accessed Date. I think it's the accessed date thats coming up wrong. Anyone else experience this? or can anyone explain what might cause this.
    Thanks!

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software.  A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • How do I access BSD file tree from within Linux?

    I just installed PC-BSD 8.0 RC on an external USB HDD.  I went with the PC-BSD default partition layout, i.e. one primary partition for the entire PC-BSD slice, and 4 "partitions" within that slice, for /, swap, /usr and /var.
    In order to access the PC-BSD file tree from within Linux, I mount it as follows:
    mount -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2,ro /dev/sdb1 /mnt/bsd
    But after executing this command I can only access the PC-BSD / , not /usr and /var , presumably because they reside on two BSD "partitions" (subslices) different from / .  Is there any way I can mount these (read-only) in Linux, too, or would I have to reinstall PC-BSD and opt for laying out the slice differently, i.e. specifying only / and swap in sdb1?
    Last edited by RobF (2010-02-13 11:55:39)

    Look at  /dev/sdb*  there should be more than just sdb1.  You would need to mount those to see which is which.  For ufs write support the default kernel needs to be recompiled with experimental enabled.

  • File copy from shell using nautilus file operations?

    Is it possible to have the nautilus file operations copy command from a shell?  In other words, rather than using the cp command, I'd like to have a file copy triggered from a bash script that uses the familiar "File Operations" dialog box in nautilus.  Can this be done?

    Give this a try., if i understood correctly. I coudn't test it my side.

  • What does a greyed out folder mean? (after failed file copy from Time Capsule)

    I did a clean install of Mavericks and I'm trying to copy my files back from my Time Capsule.
    The transfer rate is terrible, despite being a direct link via gigabit ethernet.
    I have about 800GB of Logic projects on the Time Capsule, so I set it off to copy them over.
    After 2 days and 233GB copied across, my iMac hung and I had to do a hard reset.
    I now have a 233GB folder on my desktop that is lighter in colour and I can't open it. Nothing happens.
    Is there any way to resume the copy, or am I looking at starting again, leaving my iMac untouched for 5 days and hoping for the best?
    The tech just doesn't work reliably, despite being a fresh install of Mavericks and an offical Apple Time Capsule 2TB. No idea what I'd do if I had 2 or 3GB of data...

    Phil,
    If you haven't already you may want to try to restart the TC first to ensure that it doesn't think that that folder or it's contents are still in use in some way.
    If that doesn't allow deletion, then you may need to use terminal to delete it regardless of permissions.  Be careful when doing the following and make sure that all spaces and typing are done exactly as given below:
    1) Log into the mac as an account that is an Administrator
    2) Open Terminal, then arrange Terminal and Finder so you can see them both
    3) Open a Finder where you can see the grayed-out folders on the TC
    4) In terminal, type the following, including a [space] at the end (but don't hit enter yet)
    sudo rm -r
    5) From Finder, drag the bad folder to the terminal window and release.  This will type the correct path into terminal.  Ignore and leave any backslashes that are added to the path.  You should end up with a command that looks like this:
    sudo rm -r /Volumes/MyTC/ParentFolder/BadFolder
    6) Hit enter ONLY if the path looks correct and ends in the name of the bad folder you are trying to kill.  If the path looks wrong or does not end in the targeted folder name, then do not hit enter and close terminal.
    7) Once you hit enter you will be prompted for the password of your currently logged in user.
    8) it should then blow away the folder.
    9) Close terminal

  • I have a seagate external hard drive with files copied from windows pc. If I will download NTFS driver from seagate to my mac, could I install it safely without harming my files in the external hard drive? I am afraid I may erase all files in there.

    I have a seagate external hard drive with files transferred from my windows pc. If I will download NTFS Driver from seagate to my mac, could I install it safely without harming my files? I am afraid.. I might erase all my important files during the installation..

    Thanks a lot! I have already downloaded Paragon Driver and it works well with seagate external hard drive. I am copying as of now my important files from my mac to it. However, I have only the trial version which will expire in 10 days. I don't have credit card to buy for it.

  • Extremely slow file copy from USB 3 external Seagate on MacBook

    I copied my iPhoto file of 20GB onto a new Seagate USB external drive from my 2011 MacBook in about 20 minutes over USB 2.0. I am copying up the same file from the same drive on my newer 2012 MacBook pro and it is taking 7 hours. The newer MacBook has a 750GB SATA SSD and is equipped with USB 3.0. Why would it take so much longer to copy from the drive to the newer Mac using a faster USB spec?

    Well, I solved this myself with some searching on other threads. I turned off Spotlight indexing on the drive, and killed the copy job, disconnected and reconnected the drive, and the copy is now going quite fast. Will be done in lest than 5 minutes.
    System Preferences> Spotlight>Privacy> Press the + and added the external drive.
    Apparently, this is the default behavior of Spotlight, and the indexing was causing the bottleneck.

  • Write access other file systems - NTFS, extX, reiser?

    Hi,
    I've purchaseda Media NMH410 to connect to my WRT160N router and am having difficulty gaining write access to my connected USB drives. I've tried NTFS, extX and reisfer file systems, and none of them will allow me write access when connected to the hub. I can't go with fat32 because of the 4GB file size limitation. The Mediahub really should also be able to write to NTFS considering most every other linux disitribution these days can.
    I expected that since the box is a linux system it would be able to access read/write other linux file systems so thought I could move my data to a linux file system. I've learned to expect encountering access problems with NTFS but am very disappointed the MediaHub is presenting these access problems with other linux file systems.
    Does anyone have any suggestions of how to gain write access to my other drives. Is there a setting somewhere, or do I need to format in a particular fashion w/switches or something to that affect. And why isn't the hub able to write access another drives formatted even in the same file system (reiser, right)?
    Thanks so much for any help you can offer.
    Jacqui

    Hi,
    It might just be a system limitation on the device.

    Thanks.
    I had followed that thread. The problem is I can't go fat32 b/c of file size limitations and I have to be able to write to these drives across the network.
    It appears the Mediahub can ONLY write to external USB devices if they are FAT32? That just seems so odd to me - it's a linux Oistro (albeit slimmed down), I would expect it to have the ability to write to other linux filesystems. or at a minimum, the same filesystem (reiser).
