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.

  • Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

    Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
    I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
    My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
    It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???
    Cheers, Kavango

    go to a black screen after 15 minutes or a couple hours
    That is probably an indication that you need to find a new graphics card.
    RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

  • Problem with Quadro4000 in a Mac Pro (Mid 2009)

    Does anyone has a problem with the Nvidia Quadro 4000 on his Mac Pro?

    I have a major problem, it can't boot to start up the computer, I must to hold the shift button to open and when it opens it sticks and the colors of the wallpaper is not good. Also I have a raid card. The apple service told me that the problem is the graphic card and must be replaced but I am not sure about it, unfortunately I don't have the first card to be sure.
    Do you know what the follow message means?

  • Problem with Windows 7 on Mac Pro 3,1

    I am trying to install Windows 7 to a seperate HDD an on Mac Pro 3,1 and have run into a problem getting it to work.
    To start with I had a 500GB HDD which was partitioned using Bootcamp assistant and had OSX 10.6,8 and Windows 7 installed on it and worked fine. I decided to purchase 2x 120GB SSDs (1 for OSX and 1 for WIndows) and also purchased a Sata III PCI-e card to go with them. I started by putting in the card and connecting the two drives, booting into OSX from my exsisting HDD and cloning it to the 1st SSD using CCC. Everything went perfect. OSX booted off the new SSD and speeds were amazing (Getting around 448MB/s Read and 395MB/sec Write).
    Since everything was working I then removed the HDD and once again booted up to make sure it worked. Once booted I then proceded to run Bootcamp assistant and chose to use the entire 2nd SSD. It formated the SSD to fat32 and named it BOOTCAMP as usual then rebooted to the Windows CD. WIndows would see the SSD but would fail to install giving me some error code so I went to the forums to look it up and everyone was saying that you must disconnect any other HDDs while installing Windows so i disconnected the OSX SSD and once again ran the WIndows setup. I went through the entire setup procedure just fine and began runing the Windows updates and installing the bootcamp drivers. Everything was fine, Windows was booting fast and everything was working so I shutdown and reconnected the OSX drive and booted up holding the Option key and selected to boot to OSX. Once booted I then shutdown and booted holding Option once again but this time chose Windows but to my surprise, Windows would no longer boot. I disconnected the OSX SSD and same result, WIndows was no longer bootable. I then tried to do a startup repair, windows recovery and even went through the entire windows setup again. Every time I reconnet the OSX drive and boot to OSX it kills the Windows boot. I then tried again but this time removing the Sata II card and pluging the SSDs into the normal HDD bays. Same result. After reinstalling Windows agin it once more killed the Windows boot when I booted to OSX.
    After all that I decided to try just using one SSD and letting Bootcamp assistant partition it and install WIndows that way. Same result. After booting OSX after finishing Windows it kills the Windows boot.
    Am I doing something wrong? My old HDD that has windows on it still works fine and its from the same Windows CD. I even purchased Lion after all that, upgraded my OSX drive and retried everything and still not owrking.
    Can anyone please help? I am very fustrated and can't understand whats wrong.

    Well I finally got it running smooth again, turns out that one of the windows updates changed the way the licensing works and for some odd reason it no longer works on Mac, go firgure lol. I ended up giving my windows 7 license to a friend who just built a PC so it worked fine for him but I am out $139 .
    To get it working again I had to take my Mac Pro to work and let the IT guys install the Enterprise Edition and activate it againist the companies activation server. Works great now but it means I will have to take it to work every 6 months now for activation
    I wish Microsft would stop making things so hard for us Mac guys.

  • Problem on my early 2008 Mac Pro

    I had this problem with my early 2008 Mac Pro which started last week.
    Some background; I'm using 8GB RAMs, using Snow Leopard and bootcamp Windows 7 and 3 days before the start of the problem, I had replaced the original 320GB HDD for 640GB HDD and reinstalled both OSes.
    While I was playing some videos in Windows 7 last week, it displayed the blue screen with memory dump message and restarted on its own. Thereafter, I was unable to load Windows 7 and SL respectively, both hung before they can be loaded. In SL, I noticed that there were some faint red dots in the Apple logo and subsequently, the entire screen started to flicker with some random black and white strips. In Windows 7, it frozen at the Windows logo with a 640x480 resolution. My default resolution was 1920x1200. However, I managed to loaded into the safe mode of Windows and extracted my work.
    I tried to re-install SL and it hung again at the Apple logo followed by the flickering.
    I sent it to my local service centre and the technician removed my video card, RAMs and memory risers and cleaned the contact, ran the stress test overnight, AHT3A152 and ASD3S123 tests and concluded that he found no issues with the hardwares and the problem did not occur again.
    The Mac Pro was sent back to me today and earlier, I started up with no problem and decided to remove the Windows partition and I restarted it again to confirm everything was ok. However, at the next startup, the problem re-surfaced and I could no longer start up my Mac Pro in SL.
    I tried to swopped back the original 320GB HDD, but the problem still persists. Before I send back my Mac Pro to the service centre tomorrow, I would like to have some 2nd opinions. Based on my description, what is the likely cause of this problem, is the newly replaced 640GB be the root cause?

    Do you keep Windows on its own hard drive?
    I would have kept the 320GB while using Windows WD Lifeguard to test, zero, run extended tests and slow long format of the new WD 640. Then just cloned system to new drive.
    Casper 6.0 seems to be great utility if you want to avoid reinstalling 7, though I've found 7 to be fast and easy to install even with dozens of programs to add.
    Are you using the current / latest graphic driver for 7? I don't notice you even list which card.
    RAM - there is no perfect test, AHT finds some while Memtest takes time and may find others.
    Windows may be more sensitive to weak hard drive sectors and memory than Mac OS or than HFS+.
    Do you have any 3rd party devices? PCIe? Cables etc?
    And you can't boot off Windows 7 DVD or Safe Mode?
    Windows should automatically offer to boot in Safe Mode.
    Also, try restore from last good restore point.

Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

    Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
    If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
    Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
    Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

    apple new macbook pro dosent have a disk drive. Does the older model have a problem with the disc drive and so is removed in the new model?

    No. Apple replaced the disk drive with a solid state drive (SSD) instead. The SSD is faster the old disk drive.

  • Problem with internal speakers of MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if anyone have experienced a problem with internal speakers of Mac Book Pro. In my MackBook the Internal speaker volume goes down automatically. I checked the System Preferences>Sound>Output , from there I check that it is in the middle ( Balance) However, the problem is still the exists. Just for testing I played an audio file and I moved the bar toward the right speaker it is the same and when I move toward the left speaker the whole sound goes off . Looks like one speaker stops working completely. Then I checked the Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup > Configure Speakers  from there I checked both left and right speakers and the channel frequency is fine. Still same issue.  I have no idea what is going on , I really need your suggestions to get this fixed.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry for the delay...
    I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
    I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
    Thanks for the help, anyway!!

  • I have two problems with my 2012 13" MacBook Pro. 1. Gray screen shows at startup  2. Randomly disconnects from network. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I have two problems with my 2012 13” MacBook Pro.
    Gray screen shows at startup
    Randomly disconnects from network.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    First, open Terminal in your Utilities folder and paste this into the prompt line:
    sudo update_dyld_shared_cache
    Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again.
    Next, boot the computer into Safe Mode.
    Next, do the following:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Installing windows games with multiple discs

    When I am trying to install a windows PC game with multiple discs, the install starts out ok, then it asks to insert disc #2. I'm using a Mac Mini, booted into Windows XP SP3. Since there is no manual disk eject button like on a PC machine, how can I eject the current disc in the Mini disk drive to be able to insert the next installation disc?

    I guess when you boot into windows the disc eject key on the apple keyboard doesn't work. But, I found a solution! While installing the game and the message screen came up to install the next disc, I hit the apple/cmd key on my apple keyboard and it brought up the WinXP Start menu. I then opened up the My Computer window and right-clicked on the CD drive, clicked on eject and the disc popped out! I inserted the next disc and the install continued automatically.
    I love being able to run Windows on my Mac. It makes using Windows sometimes almost bearable.
