Permission and sharing

i have 2 user accounts. both are admin. i decided to do itunes this way. my hubby's ipod is on user2.
i can't access his itunes file from my account. i have put his itunes under shared/public folder and set it's get info to share and read and write. so why when i'm in my account i can't access/view his itunes folder?
i don't read need access but if i set everything to shared in the public folder why can't i see it?

Can't help with your sharing bit, since I don't share my single-user machine. However, when you sort that stuff out, see:

Permissioning and folder sharing issues on domain

We are new to Active Directory. I am experimenting with folder and sharing permissions in an effort to get to where we can secure network folders for access to only certain individuals.
I am running into inexplicable behavior.
On a domain joined server, I have created a folder called "for ITADMIN". This folder should only be accessible to members of the ITADMIN domain security group. I disabled inheritance on this folder first. Then, in the Security
tab, I have set it up such that there are only two security principals in the ACL: SYSTEM and ITADMIN, both of which have full control.
On the Sharing tab, I went to Advanced Sharing and clicked the Permissions button. Here, I set my sharing permissions. There is only one security principal in this ACL, ITADMIN, and ITADMIN is granted full control.
At this point, I am still logged in to the domain joined server with my own user account. My user account is a member of ITADMIN. I can open Windows Explorer and browse through the "for ITADMIN" folder freely.
Now, I log in to our Domain Controller with my user account. In Windows Explorer, I type in the UNC path to the domain joined server hosting our shared folders (\\machinename). I see the shared folder "for ITADMIN". When
I try to go into it, I receive an error:
"Windows cannot access \\machinename\for ITADMIN. You do not have permissions to access \\machinename\for ITADMIN. Contact your network administrator to request access?
I am a member of the ITADMIN group. ITADMIN is the owner of the shared folder, has Full Control security permissions, and Full Control sharing permissions. Why in the world is this behavior occurring?
Additional Info: Could this be a problem when trying to access shares from the domain controller? While I don't anticipate needing to do this from the DC on a production basis, it still seems bizarre.
Additional Info: my ITADMIN group is a global group. Could that be posing a problem?

Nevermind. I neglected to log out and log back in after making permissions changes, thus my account's security token was not getting updated.

Local disk access and sharing changes

I have a Mac Dual 2.3 Ghz G5 operating OS X Server 10.4.6. Among other things I use this server to run duplicates of a local internal hard drive, as well as networked client hard drives, to external Firewire backup hard drives that are local to this server.
Frequently the ownership and sharing attributes of these local external backup hard drives mysteriously change. Through Workgroup Manager, I set the disks to be shared, with certain users and groups having read/write privileges. Later, the read/write privileges mysteriously reset to "none", the owner is changed to "root", and the group is changed to "wheel." Sometimes the "share this item and its contents" box is mysteriously unchecked as well.
Manually resetting the attributes back to the desired state does not prevent the problem from recurring.
I use Retrospect 6.1.128 to automatically duplicate local and network files to these local external Firewire hard drives. I don't know if this is related to the problem or not. The backups run throughout the day.
What's going on and how can I avoid this continual reset of sharing and ownership attributes?
Thank you for any light you can shed on this frustrating problem.

Just out of Morbid Curiousity- If you get info on those Firewire drives- do they have the "ignore Permissions...." box checked.

Downloads to iPhone gone after sync with iTunes 9 and shared libraries

I have songs that I downloaded directly to my iPhone 3g-s. After the first time I synched the iPhone to my laptop after installing iTunes 9 and sharing songs with my desktop, songs have disappeared from my iPhone. When I search the song, the title is there but when I click the song, it says to purchase the song from iTunes. The songs are on neither of the 2 computers sharing songs. However, only some of the songs that I had downloaded directly to the iPhone from iTunes have disappeared.

I read another post here and the solution is simple: goto file and select 'Transfer Purchases from iPod". It works perfectly!

Is connection pooling and sharing available on Oracle 9i RDBMS ?

Hello,
I would like to connect from oracle to sql server through db link and ODBC (Heterogenous connectivity). But every session in oracle launch session in sql server. Is it possible to have connection pooling and sharing from Oracle RDBMS level ? I need one solution : when (for example) i run 100 sessions in Oracle i would like to see 10 sessions on sql server. I would like remain 90 sessions from oracle to be queued.
I would mention that i was using Heterogenous connectivity with multithreading agent (agtctl) without success.
appreciate any help :-)

There are two concepts you could evaluate, but they are mainly used for connections to the database, not to sqlserver, but if you can make them work with heterogeneous connectivity this could help:
Connection Pooling. When many sessions are connecting to the same database, it could be that some of them remain idle. Oracle can detect them and timed them out letting another session to enter into the database, letting the idle session remain open without closing its session. This is configured by means of the shared server architecture.
Session Multiplexing. Session multiplexing allows the same bandwidth to be used by many sessions at the same time, this enables the server to use fewer network connection endpoints for incoming request. In order for you to configure session multiplexing you have to configure connection manager.

Unable to print to Canon iR-Adv C5045 from MacBook Pro that is connected to Windows computer and shared on the network

I am unable to print to a Canon iR-Adv C5045 from a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) that is connected to Windows NT computer and shared on the company network. I am connected to the network by ethernet.
I was able to add the printer manually by going to Advanced, Windows printer via spoolss, smb://computer name/printer name and used the Canon iR-ADV C5045/5051 driver.
When I print it appears to be printing but nothing comes out. I checked the completed jobs from the Print Queue and the job is listed. Checked the print log on the printer and it isn't listed. Is there a different driver I should be using for this configuration?

You may not have a choice as to what driver you can use. If the ADV C5045 only has the default UFR2 printer kit, then you will have to use the UFR2 driver - which is what you are using now. If you can access the copier, press the Counter Check button on the control panel. Then on the display you will see an entry labelled Check Device Configuration. Select this and scroll down through the pages. You are looking for an entry called PS. If you see it then the Canon does have the optional Postscript printer kit enabled and this will let you use an alternate driver. One suggestion would be to create the printer again using the same setting that you have done already but this time select the Generic Postscript driver included with the OS rather than use the Canon driver. This will help to determine if the driver is the cause.
If there is no PS option you will have to use the UFR2 driver and this could be the problem, as the Canon drivers don't always work well on a Mac via a Windows share. As a test, are you able to create a print queue directly to the Canon rather than via the Windows share? If you can, then this will let you check if the driver currently installed will work, as there can be settings on the copier that can block/stop you from printing. Assuming that you can print to the Canon with a direct connection from the Mac, then we can work on getting the printing via the shared queue. But if it doesn't print directly from the Mac, then it confirms that it may not be the server and more to do with the copier.

Error when opening workspace, web analysis and shared services

Hi All,
We installed hyperion 11.1.2, Essbase on a AIX server, with reports etc on a windows 2008 server. when logging onto workspace, web analysis and shared services i get the following error message:
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
If we re-start the server it sometimes work, but in the morining we have the same issue, can anyone help.
Thanks
Dylan

Hi,
Restart the services. Issue with Oracle Http server. If you restart foundation and other services I can bring workspace up.
Thanks

I bought a new ipad and shared my documents in Pages from the old ipad to my cloud, but the only document showing on my new pad is the ones that was not in folders. Have I lost my documents for ever?

I just bought a new ipad and shared my documents in Pages from the old ipad to my cloud, but the only documents showing on my new pad is the ones that was not in folders. Have I lost my documents for ever?

Thank you, but after an hour with apple support on the phone we came to the conclusion that the documents are lost... So the lesson is, don't trust icloud as a back up solution! A month worth of work down the drain...

Windows Firewall doesn't work as advertised: "File and Sharing (SMB-in)" fails to restrict by user, computer or IP.

Hello,
I'm trying to understand whether I'm the one who's crazy, doing something wrong, or whether Windows Firewall was designed to be broken (and stay that way through Windows Server 2008 R2!)
When I go to Windows Firewall with Advanced Security from the Start Menu and edit the Inbound Rule for "File and Sharing (SMB-in)", the result I am seeking is that I can restrict access by both user and computer.
Upon enabling the rule, and selecting the "Allow the connection if it is secure" option (and nothing else), the firewall obliges by denying any and all attempts by other computers to map or browse files.
When I enter the name of one PC in the Computers tab under the "Allow connections from these computers", again the firewall obliges and the said PC can now browse and map to shares on that server. HOWEVER, now other computers on the network are able
to do the same, as long as they have any set of verifiable credentials (like a local user/admin or domain user/admin, etc). Trying to restrict by user or by IP yield almost identical results. Both those who I do and do not want are able to access
files on the said server.
My question is this: how is this firewall rule supposed to work? What do we have to do to actually make it accept and reject connections based on the criteria we have provided?
My goal is to only allow SMB access to a user IF they log in from a particular computer or group of computers.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Waqqas

I too find the same problem. I enable the firewall rule, put in Local Addresses that I want to be able to get through the firewall to access the File shares, but it opens the firewall so any ip address can access the shares. Anyone have an answer?
And No, Niko Bellic, checking the MSDN forum is NOT the answer!

Network and Sharing Centre problems (again)

I seem to be tearing my hair out once again with the Network List Service. Several months back the Network and Sharing centre stopped displaying or reporting the active networks, although I was connected with internet access. A consequence was most of the
Metro apps would not work as they thought the computer was off-line.
The problem seemed to be that the permissions were wrong in the Network List hierarchy and adding Full Control for my user account in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList' seemed to solve the problem.
Once again thought the Metro apps are not working reporting no internet connection and the Network and Sharing centre has the following message:
Unknown
The service to detect this status is disabled
More Information
When I select More Information I get a dialog asking if I want to turn on Network List Service, when I click "Turn this on' nothing happens.
Having looked in the Event Viewer, there are a large number of this entry, maybe it is related?
DCOM got error "1068" attempting to start the service netprofm with arguments "Unavailable" in order to run the server:
Network List Service is reported as running in Services.msc. and task manager.
I tried to check the permissions in the registry key as I did before but key was missing (i think). I tried switching to a local account on the computer from my Microsoft Live account but no change, although when I checked the registry, the NetworkList
key was there and the permissions were correct. Maybe I was just looking in the wrong place but I was pretty sure it was missing...
Not sure where to go next with this..

Hi,
The Network and Sharing centre opens as normal but where you would normally see
'View your active networks' followed by the network or list of networks that you are connected to it just says:
Unknown (when view your active networks would be)
The service to detect this status is disabled
More Information
Clicking on 'More information' informs me that the Network List Service is not running and asks if I want to start it, clicking yes does nothing. The Network list Service is listed as running in Service.msc
I have tried a full virus scan and also ran a whole host of anti malware tools and the computer seems clean. I also tried sfc /scannow with no problems detected.
I restored and old clonezilla backup I had and it is fine now but made a system backup before I did. This is the second time this has happened and I would like to find a solution so I will revert back to the drive image with the issue and post a screen shot.

Can't access online backup and sharing web site

Does anyone know how to access the Online Backup and Sharing web site from a computer that does not have the O/B/S software installed? I used to be able to go to My Verizon/My Services/Internet and hit "Launch" for O/B/S, and the link would go directly to the web site for uploading or downloading material. Now, that link takes me to a Verizon page that asks to activate the O/B/S service, and wants to download the software. My O/B/S service was activated years ago and has worked until recently without the software installed. There is no other obvious way to get to the O/B/S web site. (If it matters, I tried this in both IE 9, with Windows 7 64-bit, and Safari.)
After some effort, I got the help number for the outside vendor that runs the O/B/S service. They say that the Verizon web site should link directly to their O/B/S web site, regardless of whether or not the O/B/S software is installed locally, but that the failure to do so is entirely an error of Verizon's on the Verizon web site and they have nothing to do with it. They also said there is no way to bypass the Verizon web site to get to a Verizon O/B/S account on their web site. They said they have received many complaints about this from Verizon O/B/S customers, and that the same problem has even arisen when the O/B/S software is installed on the local computer.
So does anyone know if it is really necessary to install the O/B/S software on any computer used to access O/B/S, and if it is now impossible to access the material from any other computer? That would be a major reduction in the usefulness of the service that was not announced anywhere that I know of. I saw a strong of comments on this issue in the Forums from a few years ago, but the conclusion was that the problem had been fixed. It seems to have arisen again.

Anthony, I tried to private message you several times, but I kept getting an error message stating that my message had invalid HTML that was being removed, and to resend. It did not actually have any HTML, and hitting the resend button just led to the same message.
Also, since my last post, I downloaded the OBS software onto my computer. This gave me access to OBS from that computer. However, even after doing this, I cannot use the old method of directly getting to the OBS web site from My Verizon. The link from "Launch" does not work either on the computer with the OBS software or on any other computer. Rather, the link goes only to the Verizon page saying that my OBS service has not been activated (which it surely has been) and asking to download the OBS software.
If this is happening to everyone and not just to me, this means that material stored on OBS is only available from a computer that has the OBS software downloaded on it. That is certainly not supposed to be the case, and it would make OBS much less useful.
Again, the OBS technical people said that this was a problem that they knew about, but it was entirely a problem with the Verizon web site that they could not do anything about.

On-line Back-up and Sharing Portal

I just got FIos and downloaded the free trial of Security Suite including the On-line Back up and Ffile sharing.
It was simple to set up the back up schedule etc., however I can't seem to find a simple way to sign in to the on-line portal to getto my on-line back up and sharing files. For some reason I can't bookmark the location and getting to it from Verizon sign onpage is almost impossible. If I click on "Manage Broad Band Essesntials" it simply brings me to a screen that shows me thebilling information for the program and has a download button for the Suite, Back up and Sharing. If I click Back up and Sharing itbrings me to the "shopping screen" and just shows me the various bundles and options I can purchase.
The only way I can get there is by clicking on "edit sub accounts" I have no idea why that works-I found that out after about an hourof trying to access my on line files-but that's the thing--it doesn't always work.
Isn't there a way I can ,make a short cut for it on my desktop or bookmark it somehow. It's kind of useless if it takes me all day to get to it. Also--for some reason I can't set up my home page either. I'd like to be able to just click on it from there.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks you.

I'm not sure what you would be saving when you're talking about copy written work--but I'm only saving my own documents and pictures. I'll be saving my itunes library--but that belongs to me already--I bought it!
I had a computer crash last month. I thought I had everything saved and backed up--I was wrong. I don't want to go through that nonsenes again.I also don't want to have to worry about all of my document scans etc being burned in a fire or lost in a flood--god forbid--I know you're supposed to keep all of that stuff elsewhere, but who has that kind of time?
Anyway--the 986th time must have been the charm. I downloaded the back up and sharing software again..and...it's working!! A personal victory. I don't give up witout a fight, that's for sure

HT201317 Using icloud to back up photos and shared photostream, why not updating?

I've been manually backing up my camera roll on my windows 7 pc the old fashioned way (copying files through windows explorer) for some time, and have my pc as a whole backed up on a cloud product.
I have this week however learned about icloud and the ability to back up the shared streams I'm subscribed to. I therefore installed icloud control panel and watched my family's streams appear in My Pictures.
However, one shared stream did not transfer completely - there are 18 of my mum's pictures missing - and My Photo Stream has only transferred 70.
Know there's a 30 day limit so given that is the first backup, it may not back up all 1000 as the earlier ones are older than 30 days, but the selection making up to 70 aren't the most recent as showing on my iPhone, so its no that. I took a whole lot together last weekend, one is on there but not the rest (for example).
I can back up manually to get a complete set of my own photos but think I must be doing something wrong if it's missing some.
I did go out after backing up first time, did I interrupt it , which is why there are only 70? How do I restart it? - given that it didn't finish first backup.
Also, I got home tonight, and the ones I've taken today have not transferred over.
Is there something I'm supposed to do to trigger a backup? ( both to finish first back up, and to backup new ones too)
Given that I'm using icloud more as a way of getting my photos and shared streams onto my pc, rather than backing up in icloud (as I have my own cloud too), what settings should I have on my iPhone, and what settings on iTunes?
At the moment on iPhone In settings/icloud/storage & backup, I have icloud backup turned on.
In iTunes, on the summary page for my iPhone (when plugged in) under Backups, I have 'iCloud' option ticked. Rather than 'this computer', when I change to 'this computer', the icloud setting on my iPhone gets turned to 'off'. I did hit the 'back up now' under 'manually back up and restore' in case that triggered it, and its showing a back up date and time of last night when I did this - but My Photo Stream is still at 70 - not complete transfer, or new ones - and mum's 18 still missing.
Same page in iTunes, under 'Option' I have both 'sync over wifi' and 'manually manage music and videos' checked.
I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple, any ideas?
Thanks!

Right, they're slowly reappearing. And My Photo Stream is updating this time too.
So, is it signing in and out that did this? Is this what's supposed to happen?
I should have said, I was looking for a way to back shared streams as we all have each others streams on our iOS devices and its filling up our storage, so we want to start deleting from the beginning, but not til we've backed up.
However, if icloud works by constantly removing and rebacking up from what is on the device then, then this isn't the right solution for us, as it would remove the complete stream and back up a smaller stream after we've started deleting...
Did i do something wrong here, was this supposed to happen?
What should I have done?
How do I stop this happening again?? I'm clearly not using icloud control properly!
