Permissions error one second, then none the next doing the same thing.

One of several intermittent troubles I am having on my new 24" iMac with Leopard:
I will quit a program after downloading an update, go to copy the updated app over the old one and I get told I do not have correct permissions to do this. I try again seconds later and it works perfectly. Yes - the app is quit first. I have checked. I have also tried waiting several seconds after the app has finished quitting, to no avail.
I spoke with an Apple tech about this. He got me to run disk utility to repair permissions (my first thought and already done, but ok, I'll do it again...) which found nothing but the usual ACL permission errors every Leopard user is experiencing. He then got me to apply permissions to enclosed items in my App and user folders. This resulted in other strange permissions (and yes - I checked I was applying the correct ones) being applied to every file in these folders, completely borking my system. It was easier to start over again at this point so that resulted in my second clean reinstall of Leopard (see below).
Three wipes of the HD and reinstalls of Leopard have failed to fix this issue. It also happened on my previous iMac which was declared DOA in under eight hours. Sure - it had serious hardware issues, but this has still happened across two new iMacs.

Hi,
Certainly sounds a bit odd.
Interent speed or lack of it would be the first choice
A reboot of the computer and then iChat should get iChat to re-read the connection speed.
Anything from there is likely to the the Mac Firewall or the routing device.
At this point I would be stuck to an actual cause.
At the end that has the Screen Sharing option greyed out go to the Home Folder/Library/Preferences
Delete the com.apple.ichat.plist itself (None of the others). Just drag it to the Trash
Restart iChat.
You may have to check the Preferences settings (Save transcripts, Alerts etc.) and some menus  (Buddy List Sort Order, Show Smileys etc.)
Does this "reset" whether you/they have Allowed Screen Sharing and the Ability to turn it Off or On ?

  • "Reader" will only display a PDF for one second, then suts down the PDF.

    I recently had an automatic update to "Reader" and now "Reader" will only display a PDF for about one second, then shuts down the PDF.  This happens to all PDFs no matter what the scource.  I am running Windows 7.  What do I need to do to correct the situation.  (Yes -- I deleted "Reader" from my computer, the re-installed it.  Didn't help.)

    Go to C/Programs/Adobe/Reader 11/Reader.
    Look for a file named eula.exe (or just eula).
    Double click it.
    Accept the license agreement.
    Reader should work fine from there.

    Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

    Sounds like you need to ask your question in the developers forums.

  • How do I create a 1d array that takes a single calculation and insert the result into the first row and then the next calculation the next time the loop passes that point and puts the results in thsecond row and so on until the loop is exited.

    The attached file is work inprogress, with some dummy data sp that I can test it out without having to connect to equipment.
    The second tab is the one that I am having the problem with. the output array from the replace element appears to be starting at the index position of 1 rather than 0 but that is ok it is still show that the new data is placed in incrementing element locations. However the main array that I am trying to build that is suppose to take each new calculation and place it in the next index(row) does not ap
    pear to be working or at least I am not getting any indication on the inidcator.
    Basically what I am attempting to do is is gather some pulses from adevice for a minute, place the results for a calculation, so that it displays then do the same again the next minute, but put these result in the next row and so on until the specifiied time has expired and the loop exits. I need to have all results displayed and keep building the array(display until, the end of the test)Eventually I will have to include a min max section that displays the min and max values calculated, but that should be easy with the min max function.Actually I thought this should have been easy but, I gues I can not see the forest through the trees. Can any one help to slear this up for me.

    I didn't really have time to dig in and understand your program in depth,
    but I have a few tips for you that might things a bit easier:
    - You use local variables excessively which really complicates things. Try
    not to use them and it will make your life easier.
    - If you flowchart the design (very similar to a dataflow diagram, keep in
    mind!) you want to gather data, calculate a value from that data, store the
    calculation in an array, and loop while the time is in a certain range. So
    theres really not much need for a sequence as long as you get rid of the
    local variables (sequences also complicate things)
    - You loop again if timepassed+1 is still less than some constant. Rather
    than messing with locals it seems so much easier to use a shiftregister (if
    absolutely necessary) or in this case base it upon the number of iterations
    of the loop. In this case it looks like "time passed" is the same thing as
    the number of loop iterations, but I didn't check closely. There's an i
    terminal in your whileloop to read for the number of iterations.
    - After having simplified your design by eliminating unnecessary sequence
    and local variables, you should be able to draw out the labview diagram.
    Don't try to use the "insert into array" vis since theres no need. Each
    iteration of your loop calculates a number which goes into the next position
    of the array right? Pass your result outside the loop, and enable indexing
    on the terminal so Labview automatically generates the array for you. If
    your calculation is a function of previous data, then use a shift register
    to keep previous values around.
    I wish you luck. Post again if you have any questions. Without a more
    detailed understanding of your task at hand it's kind of hard to post actual
    code suggestions for you.

  • Photobooth works for one second, then stops.

    It used to work. Like all the time.
    I'm using a Logitech camera, which works fine in Skype and iChat. But when I open Photobooth, the camera turns on, works for a period of one second, then it stops. If Photobooth is open but behind another program, when I switch back to Photobooth I get a quick one second refresh of the image before it freezes up again.
    When I Apple-T, I get the 3-2-1 countdown, then it takes a picture of the frozen image and adds it to the previous photos.
    The camera is plugged into a USB 2.0 card I installed last year. Everything else on the card is working. I've even switched ports around, and everything is working (which makes sense, because the camera works in Skype and iChat.)
    I was hoping to use the video function to record some voiceover stuff and then transfer the audio into iMovie.

    I would try Repair Permissions.
    This is done with Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities using the First AID tab.
    If that does not work I would Reset the PRAM
    Hold down AppleALT+PR keys on restart until you have three start up bongs.
    If that does not work I would download and install the Combo Installer of the OS level you are up to.

    You can undo your permission changes. Probably the most relevant one is cookies. Try one or both of these methods:
    (1) Page Info > Permissions tab
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
    (2) about:permissions
    In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' and press Enter. Allow a few moments for the list on the left to populate, as this information needs to be extracted from a database.
    Then type or paste ''rcn''' in the search box above the list to filter it to the most relevant domains. When you highlight a domain, you can adjust its permissions in the right pane.
    Any luck?

  • When I click on safari button a blank safari screen comes up for one second then minimizes. can't use safari?

    When I click on the safari button  a blank screen comes up for about one second, then minimizes. I have checked wi-fi connection, and all is fine. Facebook and maps apps still work.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • X-Grid Works for one second then says it's finished

    OK, so when I use the command line to submit an X-Grid job, it submits it, but it runs for one second then returns that it's finished. I look at the X-Grid Admin utility which is connected to my X-Serve, and it shows the job, shows that it's completed, and shows that it ran for one second... It doesn't matter what job I send to it...
    Here's the command I used:
    "xgrid -h rtsp.jnetcast.net -p <password hidden> -job submit catmovie /Use
    rs/chris/Public/xgrid/movie.mov /Users/chris/Public/xgrid/movie2.mov -mp4 -o /U
    sers/chris/Public/xgrid/movieout.mp4"
    The path that all of those files are in has RW privileges for all users, so it's not that...
    Anyone know how to get it to work?

    Sorry, I don't have an answer - but there is an actual xgrid discussion board. You probably have a much better chance of finding an xgrid guru there than here.

  • Songs Play for 4-5 seconds then skip to next in Win 7 64 bit

    I installed a clean version of windows 7 64 bit then itunes 9. Songs are able to be imported but only play for 4-5 seconds then will skip straight to the next song and again and again...
    Is anyone else having this problem or know of how to fix it?

    I have the same problem. I have seen several other people dealing with the same issue yet Apple has yet to deliver any answer...ridiculous. Kinda like the sync issue with Windows 7 64bit.. a sea of problems but not a fix in sight... maybe its time for a ZUNE....

  • Some images do not display in browser, iPad Air 2.  When I load a page with several jpgs (one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown.  Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Website issue or iPad?

    I have just bought an iPad, partly to check that my websites work OK on mobile devices.   When I load a page with several jpgs (e.g. one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown.  If I remove the large one, that sometimes fixes the problem. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Is this a website issue or iPad?

    Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.  I'm using a new Wordpress theme that is meant to be responsive.  The large image is for a header, than you scroll down to see the rest, one by one.  Some one the pages work OK on my iPad, typically the old ones where the maximum image size was 500 x 500.  It's the new pages and those I've updated that are causing the problem.  On the iPad the large image loads, then a couple of the small ones become visible as I scroll down, but then darkness (rather like my knowledge level).
    Being new to IOS and iPads, I'm trying to work out whether I should be looking here, or amongst the Wordpress stuff for a solution.
    Here's the website with its new theme: http://www.new-zealand-pictures.com/

    I downloaded the ios 6 on my iphone. I'm having problems with applications. When I open any application, in seconds then closes and returns to the home screen. What could be happening?

    Did you change any AppleID accounts or anything?  I've seen this happen when changing accounts or certain restore situations.
    If you are using iCloud you should be able to reset your phone to Factory Defaults and restore from iCloud, but it always makes me nervous.

    When I load pictures, I only see one page with pictures. On the next page the pictures are grey. How to slove this?
    Thanks a lot.

    Sorry, I don't think I made myself clear on what I am trying to do.  I am looking for a way to do this process a lot quicker.  Sometimes these agendas could be 100 pages.  Since I can only select text from one page at a time from the PDF after I scan it, this takes up so much time.  What I am looking for is a way to open up the PDF file after scanning and be able to select text from all the pages and cut and paste into word.  For example:
    I scan 20 pages and save to PDF
    I can view all 20 pages - pages 1 to 20
    I want to highlight text starting at the beginning of Page 1 and ending on the last word on page 20?
    Cut and paste everything into word
    Is there a way to do this or should I be using another Adobe product to accomplish?
    Thank you.
