Owners Enabled if Off, How do I turn it On?

Using OS 10.4.8. G4 450, with two internal drives. I cannot write to the second drive, and Disk Utility indicates "Owners Enabled Off". How do I reverse this? In an earlier post someone had suggested the following:
"More than likely your /private/var/db/volinfo.database is corrupt. There's a bug in Tiger where two volumes will be referenced on the same line. You could try to manually edit the file. Or you can remove the file in single user mode. Then reboot. Also see vsdbutil -h"
If this is correct could someone please walk me through step by step on how this is accomplished?
Thanks
Powermac G4 450   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1.5 G ram

By opening an App that uses it. Something like Photobooth.

  • After the firmware upgrade last week, the local WIFI networks pop up when I turn on my phone, I have WIFI turned off, how do I turn off the pop up?

    After the firmware upgrade last week, the local WIFI networks pop up when I turn on my phone, I have WIFI turned off, how do I turn off the pop up?

    What OS X version are you using?
    Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

  • TS3276 cannot receive or send mail, server off line "ssl off" how do I turn ssl on?

    Cannot receive or send mail.  Server off line  "ssl off " . how do I turn on ssl?

    Hello there, gillaf.
    To turn adjust your SSL settings the following Knowledge Base article will be of assistance:
    Mac OS X Mail: About Secure Email Communications (SSL)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25586
    Setting up Mail for SSL
    Important: These steps require Mac OS X 10.1.3 or later.
    1. Open the Mail application.
    2. Choose Preferences from the Mail application menu.
    3. Click Accounts.
    4. Select an account name, and click Edit.
    5. Click the Account Options tab.
    6. Click the Use SSL checkbox to enable this option.
    Selecting the checkbox will auto-populate the default port numbers. If there is a non-default port number already present, it will not change. You can manually enter a number if your ISP gave you a different port number. Be sure you enter the correct port for your mail server here when selecting SSL, even if it auto-populates a default number.
    Note: If SSL is accidentally set up when it should not be, or is configured using the incorrect port for your mail server, an alert box with a message similar to this may appear:
    "Fetch Error: Couldn't connect to a POP host name mail.apple.com."
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • HT5824 If I lose my phone and the "Find My iPhone" is off, how can I turn it on from iCloud on the computer?

    If I lose my phone and the "Find My iPhone" is off, how can I turn it on from iCloud "Find my iPhone" on the computer?
    Does anyone know how to do this? I can't find how to do it on the Apple and iCloud website. I've looked through the help section and can't find anything on it either.

    You can't.  You can only turn it on in Settings on the device itself.  You can't turn it on remotely.

  • Volume Limit in iPhone 3 says off how do you turn on

    I am trying to activate Intuit GoPayment reader and am supposed to go to music in setting and turn on Volume Limit. It says it's off. I get in there and the slider is up all the way and there is no switch but a button "Lock Volume Limit". I have no locks on this phone. My phone settings in Music for the Volume Limit says it's off. I touch the arrow and inside the volume slider is all the way up. How do I turn the volume limit "on". Do I get a volume limit code to turn it on?

    If you tap Lock Volume Limit you should get a window to enter a lock, followed by one to verify this lock code.  Be sure to remember this as you will need to enter it again to turn lock volume limit off.

  • I have OPTED OUT of hot deals (and 2 others, the third will not let me its behind its window) and it will not turn off - how do I turn it off forever?

    You have an opt out option.
    THIS opt out option has a forever option.
    IT DOES NOT WORK.
    I have opted out forever on the stupid )(&**%^*&()*^ tab that occurs in the MIDDLE OF MY SCREEN, covering a THIRD of my screen (and at 62cm - this is over kill!) .... FAIL. (at least 4 times)
    I have opte dout forever on the stupid tab on the RIGHT side of my screen......FAIL.(at least 8 times)
    I am unable to opt out forever on the tab that appears on the bottom of my screen, as the opt out options appears BEHIND the window I wish to opt out forever of. (I call this EPIC fail.)
    When I am reading a story on line, I DO NOT WANT TO SHOP. If I am shopping in Amazon for a book, I will be reading about that book. IT IS ANNOYING TO HAVE TO CLOSE OUT WINDOWS EVERY TIME I SEARCH FOR A NEW BOOK - consider that I search/buy around 15 books at a time - after checking out maybe 50 that these tabs open over the TOP of.
    I also wish to get rid of the underlines with the green circle-thingy arrows that open pop up windows if I mouse over them. (there are 3 of them under this box I am typing in as I type, and nudging the mouse out of the way has opened up at least 4 stupid pop up windows - which I have blocked pop ups in the options...so WHY???????)
    I realise this can not be fixed on the spot, as it is going to require an actual programmer to fix it but please, pass this up to or over to whoever CAN fix it. I have used firefox since before patch 4 after it went live. I ADORED the old "you are F****d (etc" page you used to have that was directly opposed to internet explorers page not found - and I actually took the time to read it and had a terrible time stopping the laughter (at work of all places) when I did. I do not want to change browser, but these *features* do not enthrall me - especially since *features* should be optional, and turning them off should work.
    Thank you for your help, and I hope you have a great day/night and no more horribly painful people like me. <3 x o

    thankyou. THANK you.
    thankyouthankyouthankyou!
    sorry about no screenie but the first option worked (at least so far!)
    THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU

  • My sound for games is off .how do I turn it on

    I can't turn the sounds on for my I pad3 .there is no sound anyone know what to do ? Playing videos there is sound

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • AirPort Card Turned Off/ How's It Turned On?

    I've gotten as far as installing the software and hooking up all the wires. When I open the AirPort Utility window the base unit shows at the upper left. That's the only icon showing. When I click the continue button,after a few seconds, a message drops saying AN ERROR OCCURRED JOINING THE SELECTED NETWORK. If I click Manual setup the same thing happens. I have reset and extreme reset the AirPort. When I check the About This MAC list of components and click the AirPort Card the info says it's turned off. Is this the problem? If so hoe do I turn it on?

    Hello Milton hoskins. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    When I check the About This MAC list of components and click the AirPort Card the info says it's turned off. Is this the problem? If so hoe do I turn it on?
    The easiest way is via the AirPort icon in the OS X menu bar. Click on the AirPort icon, and then, select the "Turn AirPort On" option.

  • IMessage turned off how can I turn back on without remembering Apple ID?

    So, my friend has the iPhone 5 on Verizon. Someone turned their imessage off and it would be easy to turn it back on but she doesn't remember her apple ID password. Can imessage be turned back on without remembering her apple ID? I thought I fixed it for her because even without knowing the password it turned back on but today it seemed to turn off again. Do I need to know the password or will it automatically turn off without remembering the password?

    Yes so I'm aware of the difference between imessage and text....but imessage was turned back on last night for some time, then this morning it was turned back off. And if imessage requires a password, then if I switch it off on my iPhone, why doesn't it need a password to turn back on when on hers is requires it?

  • HT4436 If my location is off how can I turn it on

    How

    If you mean location services, you turn it on in Settings>Privacy>Location Services.  This has to be done on the phone itself; it can't be done remotely.
    If this isn't what you mean, please explain your question further.

  • How do your turn off home sharing on a ipod

    I have to iPods and I would like to turn off home sharing off how can I turn it off

    Welcome to the Apple Community.It isn't home sharing that matters here. I suspect you are wanting to either de authorise a computer or remove a associated device from your ID, you can do both of these in your iTunes account settings on a computer.
