No write access to folders, apps etc. "_unknown" user has full access

Hi all,
Just moved up from a 2009 21.5" iMac.
Now, I'm having some weird problems with my new machine. I used Migration assistant to transfer my data, over my WiFi network. I logged in using the migrated user and then deleted the new Mac user. Now I don't have access to many folders. In the permissions tab of the affected apps and folders, there is a user by the name of _unknown which I cant . So I need some help. By the way, I still have my old iMac and a Time Capsule backup of the new one, so in case anything goes wrong, I feel that we'll be able to get back to this stage at-least.
Thanks,
-Aditya.

I had this same problem and what I described for you to do cleared this up for me.
When you select the application with that problem, you have to add your user id to the info first. Give yourself read-write privileges. Highlight your user ID in the window and select from the triangle menu to make your the owner of the folder. That should automatically delete the unknown user. Then, apply those privileges to all enclosed folders and files.
Did you follow those steps?
What actually worked the best for my user account was to get info on my user account folder. The privileges were right on it. By applying to all enclosed folders changed everything within. I know the applications are a little different. Like you said, only the applications affected were user installed. They need to be done individually.
I know there is a terminal command to take care of this and fix it easily, but I don't know what it is. Someone smarter than me may chime in and give that info.

  • How to Find mailboxes a specific user has full access to

    Hi, 
    I have been searching all the threads but all i am getting is user mailbox is accessible to following users. I run this command:
    Get-Mailbox -resultsize unlimited | Get-MailboxPermission | Where {(!$_.isinherited) -and ($_.user.SecurityIdentifier -ne "S-1-5-10") -and  ($_.accessrights -contains "fullaccess")  } | Select Identity,User
    It is taking so much time as we have 20K mailboxes. Then i tried this:
    Get-Mailbox -server exdm01 -resultsize unlimited | Get-MailboxPermission | Where {(!$_.isinherited) -and ($_.user.SecurityIdentifier -ne "S-1-5-10") -and  ($_.accessrights -contains "fullaccess")  } | Select Identity,User
    It gives me list of those users who have access to mailboxes. But what if i want to see user_A is accessing which mailboxes. we
    need to find out which mailboxes user has FULL MAILBOX ACCESS to NOT which users can access this user's mailbox. I hope you will understand, i DONT want the list which MANAGE FULL ACCESS PERMISSION option gives in GUI, but i WANT vice-versa. 
    We migrated 100 users to different domain, now i want to know these users' association with others' mailboxes. 
    Hasan

    Please check with this
    Get-Mailbox -Server "SERVERNAME" -resultsize "Unlimited" | Get-MailboxPermission | where { ($_.AccessRights -eq "FullAccess") -and ($_.User -like "DOMAIN\TESTUSER") -and ($_.IsInherited -eq $false) -and -not ($_.User -like "NT AUTHORITY\SELF") } | ft User, @{Name="Identity";expression={($_.Identity -split "/")[-1]}} -Autosize
    Replace "DOMAIN\TESTUSER" with "Yourdomain\Yourusername" to check,  which will list the users which testuser has FullAccessPermission on.

  • Problem with backing up to external hard drive and then " recovering " files, apps etc.

    Hi there,
    I hope you can help me please, I have messed some things up from not knowing what I was doing : ( and would like to fix them if possible.
    I will try to be brief and concise. Here goes....
    1. My 2006 iMac 4 running Leopard OSX was starting to run very slowly. My hard drive had 232 GB of which 220 GB were being used. The thing using most space was iPhoto, over 60 GB of photos.
    2. I downloaded Mackeeper and ran their cleaning program, getting rid of duplicate files, clearing caches etc. but it didn't release much extra space, just a couple of gigs.
    3. I read an article from Maclife " 25 ways to speed up your Mac ". One of the tips was to reinstall the operating system which I did, using the " archive and install " instruction.
    4. I now have Leopard OS under a new account name which is running faster but I cannot access various apps such as iPhoto, Photoshop CS4, Keynote, Pages etc.
    5. Everything prior to me messing around is now in a folder called " previous system ".
    6. I realize now that I should have first bought a new external hard drive, which I now have done ; an Iomega 500 GB with USB 2.0 and that I should have backed up everything first before messing around. Hindsight is a great thing.
    7. Having connected the ext. hard drive, I was looking for info on what I should do next when Time Machine kicked in and automatically started copying everything, without me having to do anything such as formatting etc.
    8. Everything that was on the hard drive ( 220 GBs ) has been copied to the ext. HD so I hope I haven't lost anything, especially my photos on iPhoto and CS4.
    9. Other 3rd party apps haven't been effected but now I would like to integrate everything back into one seamless, quick flowing system.
    10. How can I do this ?
    Any advice or help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Sean.

    UPDATE : I have re-installed from disk, various apps that were no longer functioning such as iLife, iWork etc. So, I now can access my photos again.
    Also, I had to re-install all the software for my printer ( Stylus Pro 4880 ) and reset it so the printer is working again.
    Photoshop CS4 won't open. I think I will have to get in touch with Adobe as basically, I guess they have a built-in "blocker" which prevents me from opening the app as the license is for only 1 user and having re-installed the OS, there are now, in effect, 2 users ( Me and Me 1, I think ).
    So, having added on a new external HD, Time Machine has made a copy of most of the files, folders, apps etc onto the external HD. The internal HD is still nearly full ( 220 GBs out of 232 GBs ).
    I am guessing the way to go now in order to free up space on the internal HD is to delete/trash older photos from my iPhoto library and hope that if needed, I will be able to access them on the external HD.
    Am I correct ? Please advise before I do something I will regret.
    Thanks, Sean.

  • User with Full Access to mailbox cannot view calendar

    I have a user who one of several users that manages the schedules for several conference rooms using regular mailboxes on Exchange Server 2007.  She (and she alone), has lost the right to manage the mailbox calendar.  When she tries to access the
    calendar she gets the error message, "You do not have permission to view this calendar".
    I verified her rights as Full Access and even ran the cmdlet below which says, "Appropriate ACE is already present on object ".
    [PS] C:\Windows\system32>Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "mailbox" -User user -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All

    Any help out there?
    [email protected]

    Hi,
    According to your post, the permission seems to be configured properly in your Exchange server. This user has full access permission to Domaim’s mailbox.
    Please try to open shared mailbox in OWA to check whether she can access the calendar. In Outlook, we can open shared calendar in Calendar panel by clicking Open Calendar > Open shared calendar. If it fails, please try the following steps:
    1. Click File > Account Settings > Change > More Settings > Advanced.
    2. Add the Shared mailbox that you want to open and click OK.
    If there is any updates, please feel free to let us know.

  • Can't download from the app store- no "write" access

    Apparently I do not have "write" access on a folder in my itunes media file. I went to the folders and checked it was all read+write, then looked it up online. I repaired all my permissions. It still gives me the problem. What gives? Please help.

  • I have to re-install itunes, how can I get all my songs, apps etc back, with no access to my old itunes??

    Itines was deleted from my computer and I need to re-install it but dont want to lose all my songs, apps etc. How can I get all this back onto itunes with no access to my old itunes??

    Itunes was deleted?  Or your itunes library was deleted?
    If it was just itunes, then your music should still be there.  Just reinstall itunes.
    Otherwise just use your backup copy of your comuter to put everything back.

    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Glad you found the answer.  But something seems wrong.  FCP should be able to assign the scratch disk to your startup drive.  It's not advisable, but it should be possible.  You might want to try and figure out what's going on before what ever's going on cause other problems.

  • How do I allow users to create folders in a shared folder where we all then have read/write access to those new folders?

    I have three users who need to access a particular folder on one of our other Macs. The folder resides on the desktop of that particular Mac and it is set as "shared" with all of our accounts set to access the folder. When a user creates a new subfolder in that shared folder, the permissions are instantly set to allow the creator read/write access but the other users are only allowed read-only access. Is there a way to set the permissions so that any new folder created in that shared folder automatically gives read/write access to all accounts who are authorized access to that shared folder?

    You should be able to take the permissions you have set and "apply to enclosed items." I am trying to attach a picture of what this looks like so my apologies if it does not work.
    Highlight your folder you want and go to File>Get Info or command+I and at the bottom where it has Sharing and Permissions, click the lock button to authenticate. Click the gear and click "apply to enclosed items". See if that works.

  • Poll // App-V 5.0 Default Full VFS Write

    Curious who has as default the 'Full VFS Write' enabled when sequencing. Why or why not?

    But when you need to enable Full VFS write for an application, do you perform extra monitoring or other security related measures on that application?
    If you don't do anything extra on those packages, I don't see why you would call enabling Full VFS write a security related thing.
    Sorry to be persuasive.. I'm trying to write app-v 5.0 packaging guidelines which will be used by offshore packaging factory's. So I'm trying to write my guidelines as general and as easy possible so intakers
    don't have to struggle with seeking where to put permissions.
    The reason this is difficult to answer is because it really has nothing to do with App-V and will be pretty business ISO specific.
    At the company I work at, our standard is to enable the VFS write option, but we also don't make developers jump through hoops if an MSI based install requires its own install directory opened up. 
    So forget App-V, what would be your standard in a typical (re)packaging environment?
    That said, there are always 2 sides to the coin with enterprise application compatibility and App-V (really application repackaging).  The tighter your standards the lower your success rate will be to repackage software.  Remember, just because
    a software is a vendor/in house MSI doesn't mean it isn't opening up random folders for everyone to have write access!
    VERY VERY simply put, our standard is to make App-V applications work.  Coming from a long history of working MSI based packaging, its difficult (putting that lightly) to go back to a developer or vendor and ask they do something differently so we can
    repackage to App-V -- even if their coding practices are bad (writing per user info to the install directory, etc).  Right or wrong the response tends to be 'did it used to work?' or, 'did it work when you installed my MSI with admin rights?'.
    Like I said, I open up VFS write in App-V 4/5, I also enable all COM options in the GUI advanced tab of the sequencer.  We are actually thinking about turning OoP COM and IP COM = true also.  We aren't really concerned with application isolation,
    because this has all been worked out over the last decade of traditional installs.  Sure it comes in handy here and there, but I would always sign up for the less isolated/higher functionality App-V (streaming with 0 isolation would be pretty cool!). 
    My 2 cents is to look at the existing process, and also look at what your developer relations / in house expectations if you have an app that requires permissions. 
    And keep in mind a few random thoughts:
    Registry writing is always enabled, a standard user can write to the virtualized HKLM keys
    What will you do if you require open writing to a VFS directory? 
    What will you do if you require open writing to a physical directory (that you cannot virtualize)?
    What will your exception process look like? (because their will always be exceptions)
    What is your ultimate goal to App-V packaging?  App-V success rate? Creating an easy to follow workflow, where easy to App-V packages are spit out, and others are returned to traditional packaging methods?

  • Group policy preventing write access to hard drive for Windows Service

    I recently stood up several SharePoint Servers which use various domain user accounts as service accounts. Everything was going fine until the servers were moved from the staging OU to the production OU which has a server hardening GPO applied to it. Once
    this occurred, all of SharePoint's logging via the Tracing service broke--because this account doesn't run as Local Service, but rather one of the domain user accounts.
    After examining the Application event log, I saw it filled with errors indicating the E:\Logs\ULS and E:\Logs\Usage were not accessible due to error 0x5 -- access denied.
    I explicitly granted permissions to the service account to these folders, and gave Full Control perms. I then restarted the service, but the Access Denied errors persisted. I granted Full Control to the entire E: drive -- the root folder -- with inheritance,
    and made sure the permissions were inherited. And yet the problem persisted.
    I installed a different application which can log to different drives, and it writes to the E: drive just fine when run as Local System. If I change it to one of the domain service accounts, it too produces Access Denied errors trying to write to the E:
    drive, regardless of the NTFS perms.
    The E: drive is a hard drive, not a USB or removable drive.
    I found several posts here that explain how to disable write access to USB and DVD media, but I cannot find anything how to block writing to a hard drive. The server hardening GPO contains thousands of different settings and it'll take days to comb through
    them all. Does anyone know of a GPO setting that can block writing to a hard drive, regardless of NTFS perms?
    The servers in question are running Windows Server 2012 standard (not R2).
    UPDATE: If I grant the service account the ability to log on locally (i.e. add it to the local Users group), and open a command prompt with "Run as User," I can write to the E: drive just fine. But the access denied
    persists when running as a service. This leads me to believe a GPO is blocking the write access to a
    service user but allowing the same account when logging in as an interactive
    user.

    I created a test Windows service that does nothing more than open two StreamWriter objects -- one to write into E:\Logs\ULS and the other into C:\ProgramData\Logs. The former writes dummy text once per second, while the latter writes errors. So error messages
    will get written into C:\ProgramData\Logs.
    I set up this test Windows Service and set it up to use my SharePoint app pool account, and this was written to the error log - the first line indicates the account being used.

  • Don't have write access iTunes media folder or folder within it

    I have recently restored my iTunes media from a two week old version from a Time machine backup
    I deleted all the files in my MUSIC folder, and then restored the version that I last used two weeks ago.
    Now when I try to burn a CD into iTunes I get this message " The file "xxxx" couldnt be converted - You don't have write access for your iTunes Media folder or a folder within it. To change permissions, select your iTunes Media folder in the Finder, and choose File > Get Info."
    I have read many of the previous community submissions and "solutions", and so far I have done the following
    A) changed my folders to have "read/write" permissions
    B) gone into Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > Run "verify disk permissions" and "repair disk permissions"
    C) gone into User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iTunes.plist.lock file and removed it to the desktop
    D) gone into Terminal App and run some script starting with sudo
    and still the issue persists.
    Does anyone know what is the true solution?  -  I am at my wits end..!!

    Does your "/Users/Shared" folder exist? If not , recreate it with the correct permissions, see this document:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1277

  • Can I save to memory sticks for read and write access?

    I use M.S. Office for Mac to do my admin. I would be very grateful if anyone can help with my queries.
    I want to save work to media that allows me read and write access. Saving to discs (of any type) does not allow any editing.
    1. If I save to a memory stick will I be able to save and update my work when I want to?
    Also;
    2. Would a memory stick have to be formatted with to be suitable for Mac?
    3.If the memory stick can be used for the purpose, I want to encrypt it; how would I do this please?
    4. Would encrypting place a limit on the capacity of the memory stick that can be used, e.g.  I have a choice, including 8Gb and 16Gb.
    5. I have heard that passwords can be created by Mac; what is the method for doing this please?
    Many thanks for in advance.

    There is terminology here I am unfamiliar with. I feel I have embarked upon a complex path.
    I do not know what HFS+ is.
    HFS+ is the Mac OS X file system.  Hierarchical File System Plus (Plus as it used to be HFS, but then they improved it and said +)
    By default a USB flash drive generally comes formatted with FAT (from the Microsoft MS-DOS days, but is a universal format - it might come with FAT32 or exFAT as well - still from Microsoft).  Mac OS X can read/write these, HOWEVER, its FileVault whole disk encryption is only designed to work with HFS+, which is why I mentioned it.
    Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility can be used to reformat a disk, USB Flash drive, etc...  NOTE:  reformatting does erase everything on a disk, so keep that in mind.
    What is the difference between File Vault and .dmg in disk utilities?
    FileVault is whole disk encryption.  Everything on the disk is encrypted. and you need to enter the password just to mount the device.
    A .dmg file is a regular file that happens to contain a file system inside of it.  When you double click on the .dmg file, Mac OS X will mount the file system inside as if it was a disk.  If the .dmg file is encrypted, then you will be prompted for the password before Mac OS X will mount it.  A .dmg is just a container for a file system.  Inside that contain is a full file system with files and directories just like any other file system.
    You can create read only .dmg files, you can create read/write, you can create sparse (you declare the maximum side, but the initial size of the .dmg is small and will grow to the maximum size as you add things to the .dmg, you can create encrypted .dmg.
    Since a .dmg is just a file with no special attributes on the outside, it can be copied around.  You can copy it over the network, you can store it in the cloud, you can put it on a USB Flash drive, you can put it on an external disk, etc...
    If the device you put it can be mounted by Mac OS X, then you can double-click on the .dmg and it will mount the file system inside the .dmg and you will be able to access the files in the .dmg
    This even includes USB Flash drives that use the FAT format family.  But you existing external disks can be used for that as well.
    If I used an external hard drive for the purpose I have in mind, would the  disk .dmg utility allow me to access folders and files for editing or should I approach the task in a different way?  I would still wish to encrypt.
    As I said above, the .dmg is a full file system where you can store files and folders inside a .dmg container file.  And you can encrypt the .dmg so it is secure.

  • When deleting iCloud account, how can I save the photo's & other apps etc that are stored in iCloud?

    I have recently changed my Apple ID as my email address has changed & also changed my password.
    I posted a question yesterday about this & have since discovered from further searching here, that I need to delete and set up a new iCloud account as my iPad keeps asking me to login in with my Apple ID showing my old email address (& doesn't accept old (or new) password). Also, naturally, I can't back up with iCloud.
    When I go to delete iCloud account a message appears that my photo stream (& presumably other stored apps etc?) will be deleted/ lost from my iPad too. I currently have no access to any other computer (when return home I have a windows lap top only). I am therefore very reluctant to delete my account in fear of loosing my photo's in particular.
    Can any one help with the above please? Would all my stored data (phot's, apps etc) actually be deleted from my iPad when deleting my iCloud account? If so how else can I save (later restore?) my iCloud stored data?
    Man thanks,
    NJohnR

    I do appreciate your, obviously experienced, help.
    When I went to change my details in the mail settings as you suggested, I was unable to do so. Yes- I could & did add my new email details that I changed to in my Apple ID. however I was unable to change the primary email & therefore iCloud still wouldn't recognise my new Apple ID & kept asking for my details under my old/ original email address.
    Though I did search further after this in the iCloud web site & found further very similar questions to mine where users were successful by deleting the iCloud account.
    So I went ahead & did this. As soon as I had deleted the account it asked me to login to iCloud with my new email address in my Apple ID which worked fine - & I have also retained all my data.
    Again, I appreciate your help & time you spent in reading and answering my need for help.
    All the best,
    NJohnR
