Permissions problem with files from a backup (Timemachine)

I had to re-image the Mac. I took the back up I had from the time machine HDD and put it back on the users AD acccount (which has Admin rights). The user has no problems with the files, but when the user tries to drag to the trash bin, it wants the you the authenticate with admin account and password in order to move to trash bin, but if she creates a new file she has no problems moving files to the trash bin. So the users account has admin rights to the Mac. The permissions on files from her time machine back up are R/W and any new ones she creates are R/W to her account. I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. any suggestions?

  • Permissions issues with files from a zip

    We've got five macs on a network, all on 10.5.6. Clients often send us folders with files in as a single zip. If the zip file is opened, the folder and files all have read/Write permission for the user that opened the zip, and all other macs have "no access". This happens with all the macs. The zip files are sent from PCs.
    Has anyone any idea as to why this should happen, and a possible fix?
    Cheers
    Steve

    im now trying this method instead, it kind of works, but reads in all files (I just wanted XML files), and Im sure its not the best method for this:
    public void readZipXMLFiles(String inFilename)
    try {
            // Open the ZIP file
            ZipInputStream in = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(inFilename));
            // Get the first entry
            ZipEntry entry;
            entry = in.getNextEntry();
            while (entry != null){
            // Open the output file
            String entryName = entry.getName();
            String outFilename = entryName;
            OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(outFilename);
            CheckExtension("xml", entry.getName());
            // this check the file extension, if correct FileType=true
            System.out.println(entry.getName()+ ":" + FileType);
            if (FileType == true){
            // Transfer bytes from the ZIP file to the output file
            byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
            int len;
            while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
                out.write(buf, 0, len);
            // Close the streams
            entry = in.getNextEntry();
            out.close();
            in.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            catch (Exception e)
                e.printStackTrace();
        }Because I'm using a ZipInputStream, its grabbing all files even if the files are not .xml,

  • Problem with files from Forte

    I've been programming using the lateste J2SE version of Forte. When I've tried turning in my java and class files, my professor was unable to use them. Is there a reason why the java file won't work in JPadPro or on another IDE?

    I don't think so, Are you sure?
    Using bbritta's example of "package something;", all of the files should be in a directory named \something\ or a subdirectory of it.
    To execute the program from DOS, go to the parent directory of /something/ and enter: java something.<yourclassname>
    This works for me with programs created in S1S. If you're using some special S1S classea and it says some are missing, you'll have to add them.
    Can't help with getting it to work in another IDE.

  • Unable to download from AppStore, updates,etc.Messages 'the installer is damaged' to 'there might be a problem with file ownership and permissions.' I am the owner and only user of a new MBP. What could be going on?

    Is anyone having the same type of problems I'm having with Lion. I have a new MacBook Pro, received 7 weeks ago, preinstalled with Leopard 10.6.7. I didn't migrate anything from my old iMac, wanted a clean install from the Apple Store. While there, I asked for the upgrade to Lion 10.7, however their system was down.
    I  installed it myself, wirelessly about a week later, and Apple emailed me a receipt. Now, I've had to call support directly last week when I lost Mail, Address Book, was unable to open Preview or iTunes, among other problems. Seemed fixed after a session that baffled even the store tech.  Now I am unable to download or install the recent Mac updates for Lion, from the App Store, could not install Adobe Reader, etc. Messages range from 'A network error has occured - Check your Internet connection and try again' to 'The Installer is damaged and cannot open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.'  All fail and I'll probably have to call Apple again. I am frustrated beyond words.  Logs 'Install's runner tool is not properly configured as a setuid tool', domain errors, 'attempt to write a readonly database, and on and on. I have barely done a thing on this computer except search online for help with these problems. Safari gives me a 'You are not connected to the internet' too often. Diagnostics disagrees. I do see wi-fi problems in the forum. Disk and permissions were fine at the beginning of the earlier problems, checked first by support tech. I'm not sure if support tech even knew. I was just happy they were fixed. Anyone have these download and/or install problems after a 'clean bill of health' so to speak, only a week ago?

    Let's try the following user tip with that one:

    I'm still having problems with this. I made

    to text file. The reading part work fine on my
    computer, but the writing doesn't, not even
    an exception is thrown if the file exists that
    I'm trying to write to. If I try to create a new
    file I'll get an exception about file permissions.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
    /var/log ▹ install.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.

  • Problem with file permissions using Snow Lepord

    I'm having problems with file Sharing & Permissions using Snow Lepord.
    When I save any new file it only has 'Read & Write' privileges for the user, everyone else is 'read only' or 'no access'.
    We have a Netgear NAS Server which is accessed by other users over the local network and if I change the Privilege to 'read & write' via Get Info and then copy the file from my desktop to ther server it changes the Privilege of the server version to 'no access' we then have to change it again for it to work.
    I also created a new folder on the server and now it says 'no access' and has a no entry icon!
    Any ideas???

    We have issues like this. Have tried running AFP and SMB, now connecting using CIFS. All have the same problem. I can work on one or two files fine, then suddenly, one of the files I just worked on says I don't have permissions. I log off the server and log back on, and then I have permissions to the file. It will work fine for one or two operations, then fails. We just updated to OSX Mavericks and a Windows 2012 server, but have been having this issue for years. My permissions look fine. I can even change permissions, but it won't let me work on the file or move or delete the file or rename the file. Once I log out and log back in, I can do anything I want.

  • How do I restore files from TM backups with broken links?

    I have Time Machine backups with broken links all over the more recent backups.
    I get the message "The alias “xxx” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found." whenever I click on one of the links.
    I have made the backups on my external usb backup drive before before upgrading my internal disk to a larger one.
    Two questions: 1) How can I recover the files?  2) What happened, how can I repair the backup if possible?
    The sequence of events was: Made the latest backup.  Apple ran extended diagnostics overnight at the store and did a reinstall of the OS (10.8.2).  I passed on restoring the backup and went to an authorized service center and had them put in a new tera-byte drive.  I deleted (in the star-wars display) the oldest two and a middle backup leaving the Aug, Oct, and latest Nov. backups.
    Now I see 100's 1000's of bad links.  If I look at the backup (just look) with finder I can see directories for July and Sept in addition to the ones I didn't delete.
    It appears that the files are probably all there and I could recover them a few at a time if I poke around.
    I am tempted to do this before trying to repair the disk.  Yes, it will take me ages; but I would rather take the time than a chance at doing -Anything- that could even possibly make things worst.  I can see 3 senarios and wonder if anyone can say what would be best. And by best I mean **Safest**.
    1) Go in TM to the Aug backup that seems to have no (or maybe only a few) broken links and restore that; then move in TM to newer backups and restore one folder or file at a time on top of it.
    2) Do the same thing with a restore of Aug but then use the finder to copy newer files from the backup disk to the new disk.
    3) Do essentially the same thing; but do it all in finder.
    Of course that still begs the question of what happened and if the backup can be repaired; but to me, that is secondary to getting the data back.
    fyi- I have looked at the TM hints and debug-repair file.  I realize I can try a repair disk but I am tempted to try to get the data 1st unless someone is Sure a repair won't mung the data more.
    Thanks

  • Privilege problem with old Time Machine backup

    There are all kinds of posts about privilage problems, but I can't find my answer.  I did a clean install of Snow Leopard, and now I want to only drag my iTunes library and iPad backup files from my time machine backup onto the computer.  I can access all the files on the backup drive, including MobileSync and my iTunes folder, but when I try to pull them off the drive I get the terrible message "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access “MobileSync”."  The sharing & permissions for the folder say "read & write" for my user, and the "Locked" box isn't checked in the Get Info window.  When I click on the settings gear in the Sharing & Permissions window, the "Make me the owner" option is grayed out even after I unlock the options.  I tried resolution for issue 1 here.  And I also tried those terminal commands to no avail.  When I access Time Machine from the dock, all the backups prior to my reinstall are listed, but I can't access them.  Anyone have any other ideas?  This is extremely frustrating.  Note: I am able to copy over files from the backups created after I reinstalled Snow Leopard.
    sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/Volumename
    sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/Volumename
    sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/Volumename
    sudo chmod -N /Volumes/Volumename

    I personally think that Time Machine is a magical process run by unicorns.
    I just moved from a MacBook Pro to a brand spanking new iMac 27". My iPad just does everything that I need a laptop to do, and an iMac is so much more powerful than a MBP.
    Anyways, I setup my new iMac with the MBP Time Machine backup, as I usually do with new Macs. As I was going to sell my MBP, I was just going to use my 3TB Time Machine drive on my new iMac, thinking that I'd lose 9 months of backups, as I usually do with a new Mac. Except, apparently with Mountain Lion, the unicorns and wizards have decided that the old Time Machine backups are now transferred to the new iMac. So, even though my iMac is only 15 days old, it shows 9 months of backups. Which was a lifesaver, because an important photo got corrupted in the restore process, and I found it in the Wayback Machine.
    Cool stuff.

  • Crash restoring files from client backup

    I wondered initially whether this might be permissions related, since my day-to-day user does not have admin rights, but I've tried logging on using an account that does have admin rights on the local PC (and I obviously have to give domain administrator credentials

    Same issue with a Windows 7 Client.  Have server 2012r2 Essentials and was also attempting a restore files/folders from a previous backup.  Received the "Restore Files and Folders wizard has stopped working" dialog box.   Running
    my Visual Studio Debugger also indicated that MountBackupWizard had failed with an exception as shown below.  Fixing this also  required removing both KB3004375 and KB3023562 from my Windows 7 workstation (not from the server) before the file restore
    would work properly.  I was able to confirm that restoring these 2 updates made the problem come back again.   
    I don't have a support contract with Microsoft and am unwilling to pay the high individual support fee incident cost.  Can anyone else who has a support contract where this wouldn't represent an incremental cost submit an incident so that Microsoft
    can get this fixed?  I suspect quite a few people that are expecting to be able to recover single files from their backups may be running or will run into this issue.  There could be significant recovery costs involved.

  • Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800

    Problems with File Transfers Over Firewire 800.
    Over the past month, I have had problems when transfering files from my harddrive, over Firewire 800 to a portable drive. I usually transfer very large files (20gb or more) to the portable drives for moving files around. When I drag a file over to copy onto a drive, the transfer starts normally. If I drag more files to copy over, the computer screen goes darker and a large icon comes up that looks like a power button icon. It tells me to restart, so I have to do a hard shut down on my G5. Weird. I also get the dark screen of death sometimes when I am transfering those large files and open another application to do some work while it's copying. It's killing me. I am having to sit here and wait for the transfer to finish before I can do anything.
    Any thoughts...

    Have you run the Apple Hardware Test? Sounds like it could be a RAM problem.

    I suddenly encounter this error message from Fire Fox.
    Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.
    I uninstalled the browser and download a new version but it does not resolve the issue.
    I know my hard disc has ample space. I do NOT know where to find the Profile directory to fix the read restriction box.

  • I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac and from Mac to Mac

    I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac, and from Mac to Mac.  PC to PC is fine.  Nothing but problems with the Mac.  One example:
    While working on my PC, I open shared folders on an external HDD connected to the Mac.  I click on paste to move the files.  I get an error after a few seconds to a minute of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 to Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already at the destination on Mac. This statement is true, but it was just put there because I am copying them over in that same action.  It reads 0Kb and wasn't there before I started.  Then I get an error: The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program.  Close the folder or file and try again..
    Whether I click on it a bunch right of way or wait, it still takes about 45 seconds. I have to do it with every file and it only happens when copying from a PC to Mac.  I have even restarted both computers so nothing is using any files.  If I copy one file at a time, I don't get any error.
    So I have one file to move, no problem.  If move 5 files, The first will go fine, but it shows all 5 files in folder at once.  All other files than the first show 0kb. I get the file already existing error once it starts the second file transfer, and I select move and replace.  Then I get The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program.  I wait or click repeatedly until it starts to move file.  That file will then show something other than 0kb.  When it is done, the error process starts all over.  I tried checking the PC with unlocker, but the files do not show themselves locked on the PC.

    Its not only French. Even certain characters in English will come across as gobblydegook from 1 platform to another. I see this in emails that likely were composed in Word & the characters don't come across.
    Not sure if this is still true, but years ago someone explained that there is a standard character set & then I think its extended characters & those vary from platform to platform or language to language, etc.
