Operation not permitted - Permission errors when restoring
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to restore some files from a time machine backup from a DIFFERENT machine (i.e. browse other Time Machines) to a different laptop.
BOth machines run 10.6. When using Time Machine it didn't want to know about it with the graphical restore.
I tried the browsing via Finder and drag/drop onto the new machine's desktop and no joy - error messages.
Finally, I used the command line and the even used sudo, but got this error:
mv: Linwood College//10Bi SS/Global Terrorism/Rainbow warrior comic.comicdoc: Operation not permitted
The command I used was:
MacBook:Grad School sam$ sudo mv -f Linwood\ College/ ~/Desktop/
I did enter my password too, which is an Admin account on the machine.
Any suggestions on how I can recover these files? I'd really like to get them off the external hard drive before I give up and wipe it.
Appreciate all help in advance.

What does that mean? Did you get an error message? If so, what? If not, what happened?
You should be able to restore to an "alternate location," per #16 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

George VargheseHi
Well, it is not advised to do it manually, the logged in user (sidadm)
should have the permissions, the reason being it is required at several points of time and with several folders..
However, for learning purpose, here is the syntax to be given in command line-
chgrp -R groupname <directoryName> (for all subdirectory - recursive)
I gave this jsut to cross verify, please assign the access rights (add to admin group) and then continue installation,
Revert for queries,
Cheers

Is there anything to look out for here? What have I done wrong? Did I reformat my drive incorrectly? I chose Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Tried also to fix permissions from the install disk but got the same errors.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanksacquiesce wrote:
Hmm I haven't seen so many errors either.
the number of errors is not high at all. Leopard would very often produce at least 3 to 4 times as many.
It could have something to do with me running snow leopard on a Macbook Pro 2.16 core duo and not a core 2 duo... ?
no, that would not have anything to do with it. as i said, those are most likely just errors in the permissions database. as i said, leopard was notorious for those. snow leopard is not as bad but produces a number of them too. I just haven't seen this particular kind of messages before. reinstalling SL will fix them but it seems like a serious overkill in this case. -
I'm trying to increate the ulimits for max user processes and open files for the oracle user. I've set the values in limits.conf, /etc/profile and in oracle's environment scripts. Now when I log in as oracle I get the below errors. If I change the ulimits back to the original values errors go away but ulimits aren't changed.

When I try to update my software, I'm receiving the error message "Failed to check for updates. The operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted."
I'm using Safari 4.0.3. Yes, I know this is an old version of Safari - I can't update it, or any other software on my MacBook. Should I just wait for the Lion OS, or is there any kind of fix a non-technical Mac user like me can attempt without screwing up her laptop?
I've tried clearing my cache and resetting Safari already - doesn't help. I've also tried to update after disabling my (Norton) antivirus software, thinking that might be interfering. None of these help.
I don't know if it's a related problem, but also I can't download .pdf files from the internet, although I used to be able to.You should use the NortonAV uninstaller to uninstall it. Disabling the dreadful thing in the past hasn't always been sufficient for it to cease creating system havoc. The Mac NortonAV version has a long and well-earned reputation for doing truly seriously nasty things to OS X. Shame on Comcast for inflicting NortonAV on its Mac customers. It's not a matter of if NortonAV will mess up OS X but when and how badly. I can't help but wondering if some setting in your Norton AV has decided that NortonAV, rather than you, will be making executive decisions about what you are allowed to install on your computer and is keeping that fact a secret.
After you are done uninstalling Norton use the finder to search for any Norton files that the uninstaller might have missed. Add the option to search for invisible files.
After you have removed all the Norton bits and pieces restart in safe mode by holding down the shift key right after the startup chime. Keep holding down the shift key until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Safe mode does some maintenance tasks which means a much longer than normal startup time. Use Disk Utility to repair permission
If your Mac works normally in safe mode restart. If things still aren't fixed you might want to give another shot at reinstalling Snow Leopard from the install DVD and applying the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo before taking your Mac to the Apple Store.
If you feel the need to run AV software on your Mac use ClamXav in manual mode. It's donationware and doesn't seem to cause the litany of weird problems that are associated with other AV software. -

Operation System: Windows 8 Pro
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
Office: MS Office Professional Plus 2013
I am getting "The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found" error when I double click on an .ics file to an appointment to my calender. My outlook.com account's data file is set as default and this error only occurs if
that is the default data file. I thought that maybe my profile is corrupted. So, I opened up a new profile with the below steps and only add my outlook.com account there:
1-) Open up the Control Panel and go to Mail section
2-) Click "Show Profiles"
3-) Click "Add" and give a name to your profile.
4-) Configure your outlook.com account (with Auto Account setup, not manual steps)
5-) Finally, set that profile to be used always.
Then, I opened up the Outlook 2013 and clicked on the .ics file to add that appointment but got the same error.
Is this a known issue or specific to me?
Thanks!yes, I have the same problem.
The workaround of saving the ICS file and then importing it into the current calendar
works,
but the ICS calendar
displays in other section, NOT in the section of my old events.
why ?? -
Creating files in user directory results in "Operation not permitted" error
Hello everyone,
I have a FileVault-secured home directory on my PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.6 which gives me some headache, as you can see from the following Terminal session:
arepty-powerbook:~ arepty$ touch fubar
touch: fubar: Operation not permitted
I am definitely in the correct directory, logged in as the correct user, have enough free disk space and the directory has the correct permissions, as you can see below:
arepty-powerbook:~ arepty$ pwd
/Users/arepty
arepty-powerbook:~ arepty$ whoami
arepty
arepty-powerbook:~ arepty$ id arepty
uid=501(arepty) gid=501(arepty) groups=501(arepty), 81(appserveradm), 79(appserverusr), 80(admin)
arepty-powerbook:~ arepty$ df -h | grep '/Users/arepty'

arepty-powerbook:~ arepty$ ls -l /Users/ | grep arepty

Am I missing something here or is my FileVault-directory perhaps fubar? Thanks in advance for any help you guys might be able to give me.
Cheers,

PowerMac G5 & PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)That is good to know, but it will probably make it ever harder to locate the cause of this problem. In the meantime, I made a backup of my FileVault-enabled user directory on my PowerMac and reinstalled the operating system on my PowerBook. During the backup, I have encountered a couple of I/O errors so I'm guessing either the filesystem was damaged (and could not be completely repaired by Disk Utility, which I have tried) or the hard drive is damaged.
Just to be on the safe side, I have ordered a new hard drive and exchanged it (wouldn't want to risk data loss with the old hard drive) and everything works perfectly again with a completely new user directory.
I am still wondering what caused all this trouble though, since I want to avoid another incident like this in the future. -
Error mounting NFS share - mount.nfs: Operation not permitted
I've got an NFS share on a FreeBSD server which I mount via fstab.
It mounts automatically at boot and everything is fine.
However, if I unmount it and try to mount it again I get:
mount.nfs: Operation not permitted
I have tried vers=3 and nfsvers=3 in fstab, but to no avail.
rpcbind is allowed in /etc/hosts.allow.
Does anyone have any ideas?
fstab entry:
server:/path/to/files /mnt/files nfs ro,hard,intr,nfsvers=3 0 0Tagging along, I have the same problem, although I have a different setup:
- Server = Arch linux
- Client1 = Debian Testing linux
- Client2 = Arch linux
On client1, I'm unable to mount all NFS-shares. 2 out of 3 mount ok and the third fails with this error (both through fstab and manually):
# mount -a
mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting (null)
On Client2 I'm able to connect automatically and manually to all shares.
Maybe it is Debian-related, but the debian user forums have not been of much help...

I have been sent a secure CD of zip folders but double clicking only comes up with the message unable to unarchive, error 1 - operation not permitted, any ideas please?
First thing coming to mind:
do you double-click on the zip files on the CD ?
Maybe the "unzip" tries to write in-place to the CD which of course is not possible.
Have you tried to copy one of them to your OSX volume/harddisk and thhen double-click the copy ?

Hi
I have a MacBook Pro with a corrupted copy of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed on the HD (I say corrupted because if I try selecting the HD as the startup disk I'm locked at the pretty spinning gear screen). The problem started when I went a little OCD on system files and tried to make everything look pretty but accidentily deleted necessary things... IE... the entire utilities folder and what not... anyway I'm using my factory install disk with Snow Leopard 10.6.3 to run Disk Utility and Verify/Repair the permissions but I keep getting "operations not permitted", errors... I'm semi-comfortable in using the Terminal from my OS disk if anyone knows the commands necessary to fix the permission issues.
Any help is greatly appreciated -- I really don't want to lose my files (Silly me... I never used Time Machine or a external HD to backup anything important) and I'd like to have my Mac running smoothly!
Thanks so much,
TimothyYou should not be getting any kind of error message when trying to install, if you're booted from the DVD. I can't comment further on that without knowing what the message is.
As for backing up, you can do that within Disk Utility, but you should have done it long before now. If you don't make regular backups, you'll inevitably lose all your data.

Permission errors when using File Sharing
I am having permission errors when trying to transfer from Mac to Mac over the network using Filesharing.
I mount the other computer, but when I try to copy I get:
"You may need to enter the name and password for an adminstrator on this computer to change the item named "xxxxxx""
(but I am signed in with adminstrator accounts)...I click continue then get:
"The item "xxxxxx" contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?" ....I click continue then get:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items"
thanksI had to reset the permissions on the "other" machine as well using the Installation boot disk.
That seem to fix the issue. -
I tried to burn a data DVD, got Error code 0x80020000, and the Finder created a burn folder (although I NEVER set my preferences for this and hate it) that is locked and the √ for Locked is greyed. I want to ditch the burn folder because I always like to name the DVD and the burn folder acquired the name I want to use for the DVD (can't have two disks same name locally, right?). No matter either way about naming, I still want to unlock and trash this burn folder. It has permissions: owner = (Me) Read & Write, Group = staff Read only, everyone Read only. Using Terminal, I tried "sudo chmod a+w foldername.fpbf", but the result was "Operation not permitted". Is the all (a) parameter wrong? Is the parameter wrong? Is it because w permission is already applied to the owner? I thought that doesn't matter.

That folder probably has extended attributed. Try unlocking it via the Finder. You may have to toggle it on and then off, maybe a couple of times.
