Permissions problems with a folder.

I've run Disk Utility several times and everything checks out, but I have one folder that holds our work files that sometimes it won't let me save because it says I don't have the correct permissions. I tried changing all the permission on our work files folder, but then it comes back that it can't change the permissions on some of the folders and files. I've also run the latest cocktail and that doesn't help.

I'm wondering if your OS installation is compromised in some way. You have another post about how some applications will not boot, with errors about the CPU architecture not being correct. You mentioned you just upgraded to Leopard. How did you do this? Was it with an upgrade installation or did you do an "Archive and Install"?

  • Problem with "watch folder" and Windows 7

    I have just switched to Windows 7 and Elements 9 - so far things are working quite well, but I am having a problem with "Watch folder"  It is watching my odf folder "My Pictures" but all my new photos are going into Libraries/Pictures and PSE9 won't let me add that to the watch folder section.  I am afraid that if I ask PSE9 to Get Photos and Videos / From Files and folders I may get a whole buch of duplicates in my Organizer.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you - I followed your directions
    and found that I had already tagged it to watch, but hadn't realized that it was tagging both the old and the new.  Big learning curve for me.

  • I had this problem with the folder with the question mark in it

    hello guys, so i had this problem with the folder with the question mark in it and now i just keep the options button pressed till it shows me the option to boot and so how can i get that solved and my mac can just boot normally and something else is that i press on system preferences and nothing happens it basicly does not exist so if you guys could help me it would be great
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    It sounds like either the system on your disk drive is corrupt or the disk drive died.
    Assuming the information in your profile is correct then boot from the install DVD for you MBP. From there you should be able to run Disk Utility to check out the disk drive.

  • Permissions problem with old Windows XP folders & files

    Hi,
    I migrated about 8.7 gig of files (21,742) from a set of folders on a Windows machine some time ago. I know keep them on my iMac HD and access them through VMWare Windows XP instances and shared folders.
    I want to copy the entire folder to an external drive for taking to client sites, use on windows laptops etc.
    However, there are long standing file permission errors within the folder structures that raise the following error during a copy.
    "The operation cant be completed because you don't have the permission to access some of the items".
    I have tried setting the permissions on the top level folder, setting the bit to "apply to enclosed items". I have run disk repair, permissions repair & I have used Disk Warrior to do the same. I have removed as many of the dodgy Windows style files that are unrecognisable (eg. .LNK files) but no joy.
    I tried running a SUDO CHOWN command recommended in another post, but it didn't work.
    Does anyone know what might be at the root of the problem. I need an automate solution to this as there are too many folders & files to deal with individually and if I start chucking things out Murphy's law says I will need the ones I ditch.
    Thanks
    Eric

    Download a program called BatChmod and use it to change all of the permissions. It works better than the Finder at fixing permissions on a deep folder hierarchy.
    Chown only changes the owner of the files. It doesn't change the posix permissions.
    Chmod is the command that changes the posix permissions. You can use BatChmod to do it in a GUI, or use this in Terminalsudo chmod -R u=rwx, go=rx after copying this to the Terminal, drag your folder to the Terminal window and hit return.

  • Package permissions problem with Snow Leopard

    Under Leopard, changing permissions at the Get Info window for a package file also changes the package contents to the same permission settings. This no longer works in Snow Leopard. For example, I have tried adding another user name with read & write privileges. The package file displays the correct setting, but all the contents of the package have the newly added user as read only. This is causing me problems with a virtual machine I want to share with other users of my computer. I also tested it with iWork (Pages) packages - in Leopard the package contents keep the r&w setting for the new user, but not in Snow Leopard. Note that for package files, there is no option to apply to contents, as is the case for folders, but it should do it automatically.
    I would be grateful if someone could verify this bug. Also, I intend to use chmod -R at the terminal, but I am not sure how to use it to add a specific user with r&w privileges, so any help appreciated.
    Many thanks
    George

    I don't believe it's ever worked you the way you describe in leopard. I just tried it on my leopard machine with an application package and changing permissions to the package itself did nothing to its contents.
    you can change permissions recursively from terminal but it's easier from GUI.
    make a folder and put the package in that folder. *DO NOT* use system created folders for this. go to the permissions panel for the folder and set permissions as you like. then click on the "gears" action button at the bottom of the "get info" popup and select "apply to enclosed items". This will change permissions recursively on everything in that folder.
    NOTE: as I said, never do it with system created folders as they often have hidden ACLs and doing so will propagate those ACLs inside.
    to give a particular user read+write right to the whole package from terminal run the following terminal command
    chmod -R +a "username allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,deletechild,readattr,writeattr,
    readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity" /path/to/package

  • Permissions problems with Shared files

    In my office of two users I have set up file sharing between two Macs, one is is running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and the other (a PPC machine) is running 10.5.8 (The Leopard Machine was migrated over from a Tiger Machine by doing a fresh install of Leopard and then using Migration Assistant to move the user account off of the Tiger Machine).
    Occasionally, I need to send files to the Leopard Mac from my Snow Leopard machine, so I connect to the other Mac's Shared folder, navigate to the Drop Box, and pop the file in.
    Looking at the file on the other machine, it comes through as Read Only, ie. if I Get Info on it, it says 'you have custom access' and lists users as Nobody: Read Only; (Unknown): Read Only and Everybody: Read Only. These permission remain like this once the file is copied or moved out of the Drop Box.
    I've had a look at the Sharing Prefs on both machines and they are set up to have the admin account as Read and Write and Everyone as Read Only - the Drop box is then set to have the admin account as Read and write and Everyone as Write Only (Drop Box).
    The permissions problems happen in either direction, whether copying from machine A to machine B or vice versa.
    Can someone help me fix this.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the tip. Once the other user vacated their Mac last night I ran the commands but...
    Unfortunately, I still seem to be having issues with files being 'read only' on the Leopard machine. If I send a file from the Snow Leopard Mac to the Leopard Mac's drop box, it shows up with what looks like read/write access for 'nobody', 'everyone' and 'unknown user', but if I open the file, work on it and try to save via an app's save dialog, it says the file is Read-only. In the words of t'internet: W T F?
    I ran your commands on the Snow Leopard machine too, and curiously, if I send a file from the Leopard machine to the Snow's Drop box, I CAN read and write to the file.
    One thing that troubles me is that My User name is now listed TWICE in the list of permissions I get (My User Name): Custom Access and (My User Name) Read/Write. That seems odd.
    no, that's normal. this happens because of the ACLs.
    Something similar is happening on the Leopard machine too.
    I created a fresh user account on my Snow Leopard Machine to see what the default permissions should be and I get other entries in the permissions list that aren't present on either of the two Machine's main user accounts. Users such as 'Staff', for example. Frankly, I'm lost.
    I've read somewhere that there could be permissions problems on machines where user accounts have been upgraded from Tiger to Leopard as is the case with one of the machines in question.
    yes, that could be. we can fix that if necessary.
    I've also read that I can do a complete reset of ACLs by using the Reset Password utility on the Leopard installer DVD. Would this be worth a go, and could it cause more problems if it doesn't work?
    yes, you can try resettings ACLs on the leopard machine using the leopard install disk. however, the acl reset utility on the leopard disk is somewhat buggy and sets wrong groups on everything it touches. therefore after you are done with it, reboot normally and run the following terminal command
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    you'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see). that's normal.
    If you can bear it, could you please help me some more. Thanks very much.

  • Permissions problems with multiple discs in Mac Pro

    Hi.
    I have three discs in my Mac Pro. One is the boot drive, which is an SSD, another is a 2TB Seagate and the other is a smaller spare for setting stuff aside. The SSD and 2TB drives are NOT a fusion drive. They work okay but there are problems with permissions and I am trying to figure out what the permissions on each need to be for them to work in close harmony. The user account is on the boot drive but music and photo libraries, for example, are referenced on the big drive.
    Permissions on the boot drive show: system - r&w, wheel - ro, everyone - ro...
    On the big drive they are: Drieu(Me) - r&w, staff - r&w and everyone - ro. Ignore ownerships is not ticked and I am undecided about this.
    None of these seems to be correct. I know how much chaos can ensue if changes are made rashly, so I am loth to experiment but things are wrong enough to need to do something. Does anyone have any suggestions, given I am not sharing the machine with anyone, other than the default public folder.
    The spare drive has Drieu (Me) - r&w, system - ro, admin - r&w and everyone - ro!

    The Samsung 840 pro SSD boot disc
    10.9.5 and later turn ON kext signing, which turns OFF TRIM Enabler. A non-Apple SSD without TRIM cannot eliminate deleted files, so it will eventually become choked with an accumulation of deleted data. Doing the Install under these conditions could add 20GB or more of deleted data, and it could become super-slow.
    The 2TB disk [that was the Boot Disk]
    that permissions over the whole disc vary. Some files require that I enter the password to move them.
    Permissions for different folders vary widely. For example, System Directories are write-locked to you, and moving files from them would require that you authenticate as Admin.
    Files transferred from the desktop to this disc require to have the command key applied to move, rather than copy.
    The default in a Drive-to-Drive transfer IS Copy. To change that to Move, you must hold the Command or Option key. This is a Documented Feature, and is working as designed. Default for Folder-to-Folder On the same Drive is Move.
    I also find that when modifying blocks of files they can suddenly disappear and I have to come out and run round the block before I can go back in to finish the job. It works okay but it is unnerving, despite having a backup.
    One or both of those drives may be having problems. What you describe does not sound normal.

  • Permissions problems with sound track pro and garage band

    I am having a problem with the loops and sounds in Garageband and SoundTrack Pro. When I attempt to use a sound in garage band,  I get an error "an eror occurred   result code = -5000   File = Garageband-Temp-54E281E". When I do a search there are about 58 separate folders with loops or effects in them. If I isolate the one I want to use and change the permissions of the folder to everyone read and write I can use the sound, but I don't want to manually change the permissions for 58 seperate folders. I ran repair permissions using disk utility but that did not fix it. Any suggestions, I have a lab of 22 imacs, if it was just one I would just fix the permissions on it but for 22 separate machines, I would like some automation. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I'll also add that I'm pretty sure I used this microphone along with the iMic USB a few years ago when I had my 'quicksilver' Mac G4 and it worked with that machine. As noted above, I've tried it with both a 2 channel and both the mono channel settings in Garage Band; but I am using a 1/4" to 1/8" jack adapter in order to plug into the iMic's 1/8" receptacle. The adapter is stereo to stereo, meaning it has both contacts for r & l. That shouldn't make a difference should it? In my experience if you are using mono equipment (like a single microphone) the sound will still be delivered through one of the two channels.

  • Extremely annoying problem with user folder name in windows 8.1

    Here is the thing:
    Friend of mine bought the laptop (very strong and expensive asus - republic of gamers) with installed windows 8.1 on it, but after a few days only I bought that computer from him because he didn't need it and he didn't use it at all!
    But, his name stayed in the windows. I changed all user accounts names and everything which was possible to be changed, but when i go to C/users his name is still there on folder!
    I can say it is very annoying because that laptop cost almost 3.000  USD and I still need to look at someone else's  name in my user folder!
    I tried to change "ProfileImagePath" in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ .... but after that windows logged in as a temporary profile and I spend another hour to figure out
    how to reverse the thing!
    How is possible that some so basic and simple things can't be changed at all in newest windows??? Only because some name was entered first it's not possible to be changed ever again???? Seriously?
    Not only this problem, there is too many problems with this windows 8.1! Too many! You definitely made  the worst thing ever!
    I am extremely unhappy and upset with this operative system! I,m cursing the day when i gave so much money for computer with crap called windows 8.1!!!!
    Very very angry!!!
    (P.S English is not my native language)

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems that you have resolve that issue.
    Not only this problem, there is too many problems with this windows 8.1! Too many! You definitely made  the worst thing ever!
    Please let us know what problem did you encounter? Please give us more detailed information in order to provide the further help.
    Here is a overall guide for you to know well the Windows 8.1
    Windows 8.1: frequently asked questions
    No Karen, I didn't resolve the issue.
    I asked very simple question how to change something so basic like user folder name in Windows 8.1
    You know:  "C:/Users/"user name"
    All the links you are giving to me doesn't provide any concrete answer to this question. I spent hours and hours googling and researching about this question and only solution which i found is that i need to create completely new user account and delete completely
    the old one, just to be able to remove an old name of user folder! Are you kidding me?
    How is possible that such a basic thing is so complicated?
    Is there any way to change folder user name in any other way because i don't want to create a new user account!
    Simple question, but, like always, no any concrete answers - just some empty talks, and totally useless links and SPINNING IN THE CIRCLE all the time without the CONCRETE solution.
    As for part of my post which you quoted, and your request for more informations in order to provide me further help, i just gave it to you again. I want to change user folder name. What you don't understand in that question?
    UPDATE:
    Ok, i came back to edit this post because i have a feeling that maybe you don't understand the question and giving me this link because maybe you simply don't know that when you go to:
    Control panel/user accounts/change your account name... and change the name, and after that, when you go to C:/users, the folder with the user name still have an old user name. Which means that any changes in control panel or anywhere else doesn't make any
    changes on C:/users/  folder itself!!!!!
    In previous windows versions was possible to change it by editing "ProfileImagePath" in:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ ....
    But when I try to do that in Windows 8.1, when I reboot computer it logs in with some temporary account, so i need to reverse everything to be able to use computer with the real account!
    So basically it seems that is absolutely impossible to change user folder name in Windows 8.1, which is simply unbelievable!
    I really think i explained very good now.

  • Problem with Watched Folder endpoint

    Hi,
    We have a problem with a watched folder endpoint. The watched folder is set in a directory in a linux server. The directory then is mapped to a windows directory where files arrive from time to time. Everything works fine until the watched folder service stops for no particular reason. After that we need to restart the service from the admin UI console.
    I found in another post something related to the MySql database losing connection with livecycle after some inactivity, but I'm not sure if this is our case or even how to solve the problem.

  • Permissions problem with external HD

    Prior to updating to 10.4.3, I was able to write to any external HD to transfer large files betweek my iBook and a windows PC. After upgrading, I am no long able to use 3 out of the 4 external HDs that I used to be able to. I always get an error message stating a problem with permissions. I get info on the drive and it says read only and will not allow me to change to read and write. I plug the same drive into my Windows PC and change the permissions to read and write, and get the same message when I go back to my iBook, I get the same read only problem.
    Any ideas?

    Eric,
    I, too, apologize for the delay in posting. I have been away from the discussions for a rather extended period.
    Well, any NTFS formatted volume will only be accessible to you as read only. No, this is not something new, but has always been the case. To make matters worse, I have heard that Windows no longer provides any way to create a FAT-32 volume; one must use OS X to format the volume or use a third-party application in Windows. This information may be incorrect, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is true (we're talking about Microsoft, here).
    If you can copy any data on this drive to some other location, then use Disk Utility to format it as FAT-32, the data can then be copied back and it can be used to transport the data cross-platform, with read/write access on both ends. Is this a possibility for you?

  • [PX6-300D] Access permissions problem with shares

    Hello,
    Let me explain the problems.
    When i try to connect one share to PC by mapping network device everything is normal - we have access to the storage and so on, but when i try to simply type the \\address\share in explorer i'm receiving "\\address\share is not accessible" popup window.
    Strange here is that i can access the \\storageDevice but i can't access the \\storagedevice\Sharename
    With lot of clicking and editing accounts in px6 i didn't received results, but i tried to increase the security for local network encryption to Always and voila i received access to the share and 15 minutes later i loss it again. (worked one time only)
    My big problem is that i use Acronis backup solution and the software can't find the share where the backups are.
    In last 10 days i have 5 successfull backups and 5 failed due to access problems with the device.
    Can any one help?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Stimar
    Is the unit connected to a domain controller?  Are you having issues accessing the shares using a domain user or a local user, both?
    If connected to a domain, have you set a preferred server ?  If not, the unit will use the DNS under the Network page to try resolve the AD server.  You will want to make sure you have the correct preferred server or DNS or you may run into permission issues.
    Double check that the user(s) have at least read access permissions from the web interface, if you have the file level encryption option enabled, you may need to adjust permissions from your domain controller as well.
    If you are on a different sub-net than the px6 that can cause share access issues.

  • Problem with public folder initialization on exchange load generator 2010

    hi,
    we need to make some stress charge for a migration between 2010 and 2013. Before that we need to populate our exchange 2010 lab with full mailbox and public folders. So we tried Exchange load generator 2010 for this task ( initialization only). 
    Loadgen did well for the mailbox but we have some problems with the public folders. we have an empty public folder database and the user we run loadgen with has organization admin and public folder management right. the problem is that when we run this command
    (for initializing public folder only, mailbox's done) :  
    loadgencmd.exe /p /c config.xml /add trace.log 
    IT create only one public folder with the user we run loadgen with, and 5-8 objects inside. We need that It create a public folder for each users it created before. Maybe we do not understand loadgen
    correctly...

    I found my solution :
    customize the <PublicStoreProfile> section in the configuration file as follows:
     <PublicStoreProfile>
        <MessageFiles />
        <TopLevelFolderCount>1</TopLevelFolderCount>
        <NonTopLevelFolderCount>1</NonTopLevelFolderCount>
        <MinimumFolderDepth>1</MinimumFolderDepth>
        <AverageFolderDepth>2</AverageFolderDepth>
        <MaximumFolderDepth>3</MaximumFolderDepth>
        <MinimumMessageCount>5</MinimumMessageCount>
        <AverageMessageCount>10</AverageMessageCount>
        <MaximumMessageCount>15</MaximumMessageCount>
        <UseOrdinalFolderName>false</UseOrdinalFolderName>
      </PublicStoreProfile>
    Simply put differents values for each variables.

  • Possible Permissions problems with adobe

    I have been dealing with a problem with Adobe Creative Suites where Photoshop and Illustrator either crash or simply refuse to open files, "Cannot open filetype" errors.
    So I attempted to reinstall the programs from the original discs twice and they still would not work. For some forgotton reason I created a new User Account on the Mac and installed Photoshop in that User and it worked perfectly. I really do not want to have two Admin users on this machine so I would like to get the first user to work properly.
    Anyone know what could possibly be wrong with the permissions on the first user?

    eth0 no wireless extensions.
    eth1 IEEE 802.11 Nickname:""
    Access Point: Not-Associated
    And only when typing iwconfig as root I get:
    [root@delltux fio]# iwconfig
    lo no wireless extensions.
    eth0 no wireless extensions.
    eth1 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"AAAA" Nickname:""
    Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:1F:1F:16:3B:9E
    Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power:32 dBm
    Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

    Link Quality=5/5 Signal level=-39 dBm Noise level=-92 dBm
    Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
    Tx excessive retries:22 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
    Plus, when trying to change the essid manually as root ('iwconfig eth1 essid BBBB'),
    it often doesn't work, and I have to remove the wl module, and reload it (and even then, it sometimes doesn't work...)
    And - when trying to connect with Wicd, I often get connection problems (it takes forever to connect, only after about 10 tries). If the ssid is set correctly (if I manage to set it...) then commandline dhcp works with no problems.
    Does anybody have a suggestion?
    Thanks

    I'm seeing the exact same issue.  I'd think this is a bug and that non-root users should be able to query the interface for connection info.  The failure of being able to do this is also causing my network monitoring tools (kwifimanager and knemo) to show missing and/or erroneous data.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
