Photographs all are read only??

Hi folks. I wasn't sure where to put this question so it may not be in the right place. I have the iMac and my wife has a Dell PC (poor thing :0)). I copied all of the photo's she has collected onto a DVD to transfer them to my iMac for editing and future publishing to the web. I use Photo Shop Elements 6 to do this with, but it would not let me edit due to insufficient permissions! I must admit I chuckled when that came up since I took most of these photo's. So I opened Finder, browsed to the directory where the photo's are and using "Get Info" I found that all of these photo's and directories and subdirectories (literally hundreds of photo's) are read only permission. All I'm looking for is a way to make them all read/write en masse. Is there a way?
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Richard
I don't have a-lot of experience with the windows OS's, but do share hundreds of JPEG images every year with PC user's and that sounds like a problem with the photo files or the way they were burned onto the DVD. If you have a MS-DOS FAT 32 formatted External HD, a Flash Drive or Card Reader & Camera Card you should have no problems transferring the Original JPEG Photo Files back and forth between a Windows box and Mac.

I cannot delete calendar entries from my Iphone 5. It says they all are read only. I went back and I cannot find the main. It was deleted. I clicked save future events when I did this accidentally.

I cannot delete a repeated appointment in my calendar. I deleted the main and accidentally hit save future dates. I tried to delete each future date but there was no edit function. I then clicked the calendar and i could change it but they all display read only cannot delete.

Were the photos taken by your new iPhone? If so, did you not import them off your phone to your computer (as you would any other digital camera) before the restore? If not, restoring wiped the data off the phone and your pictures are gone.
Sounds like a good time to (re)read the User Guide.

All of my files in OSX Lion are read only, why?

I've just upgraded to a new Mac Mini which has OSX Lion, Version 10.7.3. I don't use the admin login for security reasons, I'm using a separate user login. When I want to modify a document (delete a document/folder or move a document into a folder) I have to type in the admin login every time. I've looked in the Get Info window of some, and the Sharing and Permissions all say Read Only.
Why are all my files Read Only? Is there a way to make everything in my login Read and Write without manually changing them all individually?

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Fields for creation of BP in cProjects front-end are read-only

Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner in SAP-Development/Customizing so I hope this question isn't too easy
I can't create a Business Partner using the cProjects front-end (Ressources > Staffing) because the necessary fields and buttons are read-only... (> web-Dynpro Component: DPR_ROL_STAFF; View-Info: VI_SEARCH_CREATE)
I'm using CPRXRPM 450_700 patch 0006
The field-control is standard-SAP (0SAP).
My user-account has all cProject-roles + SAP-ALL
I assume i can change the behaviour of these fields in the Field Control but I can't identify which is the corresponding Object Category to apply the changes.
- Is there a documentation which field belongs to which Object Category in Field Control?
- Or can somebody tell me a procedure to find it out on my own?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
generally it is recommended to use transaction BP or ALE distribution to get the business partner be created.
If you would like to create the BP in web UI directly, the user must have the Structural Authorization, see customizing path:
Collaboration Projects -> Resource Management -> Organizational Management.
It is very HR related topic, you may contact a HR consultant to know more details about it.
Kind regard,
Zhenbo

How to lock a form (all fields read only) using a button (JavaScript)

Hi guys,
I have a form with several input fields, check boxes. Using a button in the form, I would like to lock it using a JavaScript. Locking means in my case that all input fields, checkboxes, etc. are read only (cannot be changed anymore).
I already use the following approach:
data.form.MyInputField.access = "readOnly";
The problem is, that this approach is not comforable from maintenance perspective. I would like a more generic or more simple way.
Generic:
loop over all fields and set them to "read only"
Simple:
xfa.form.lock; // but this does not work
Do you have any ideas how to solve this requirement in another way as I currently do?
Thanks,
Thomas

Now I used the following script:
// set the whole form as container
var objContainer = data.Report;
// call the method to set all fields to read only (recursion)
disableAllFields(objContainer);
function disableAllFields(objContainer) {
     for (var i=0; i < objContainer.nodes.length; i++) {
          switch (objContainer.nodes.item(i).className) {
               case "field" :
               case "exclGroup" :
                    objContainer.nodes.item(i).access = "readOnly";
                    break;
               case "subform" :
                    disableAllFields(objContainer.nodes.item(i));
                    break;
               default:
It works but is there another possibilitiy such like
form.lock;
Thanks,
Thomas

I have copied tens of directories with JPG pictures from a CD (that I burnt using Windows XP while on a trip overseas) to my iMac's HD. The problem is that all the copied files are read-only now and I cannot edit them... I tried using Finder to make them "writable" but the yellow padlock at the bottom of the Info window of the affected files is disabled (it's pale yellow, I cannot click on it).
My questions are:
a) why are the files read-only in the first place?
did you copy those files while logged in as the current user? if yes, look at the permissions of the files on the CD. in general, when you copy something via drag and drop in finder the owner and the group of the file changes but posix permissions don't change. so if they were read for the owner and the group on the CD they will still be so when you copy them to the disk. this should not normally be the issue with windows burned disks though.
Was it the way that I copied them (drag and drop in Finder)?
no. that was the right way to copy.
b) is there a way to modify the properties of a directory and its content in one single command to remove the read-only attribute?
yes, but later on that.
c) why is the padlock disabled in Finder? I expected to be prompted for my Admin password when clicking the padlock.
that's strange. check the ambient folder. it could be locked for example. re the files sitting in some folder you made or are they on the desktop?
Any help is appreciated.

Windows installed but all files Read Only

Hi guys
I have just installed windows 7 on my macbook pro using bootcamp. Every seems to be working great except for all my files are read only. I go to properties uncheck read only apply it to the file and it fails because it needs administrator permissions. I have tried to change permissions to full control and it fails to apply it to any of the folders.
Any help would be much appreciated
I'm a pc! All the problems with windows xp, vista, 7 were my idea!

[10.0.7 ESR] Temporary documents are read-only again, even with the "browser.helperAppsbrowser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit" parameter set on "false". Why?

We currently updated from the old 3.6 Firefox to the ESR version 10.0.7. Eversince we've used Firefox we've had a problem with documents being read-only when downloaded temporarily. But we've found the solution by finding the entry
browser.helperAppsbrowser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit
in the about:config and setting it on false. Documents were writeable again, and the world was full of fluffy unicorns and rainbows.
But that doesn't seem to be sufficient when using Firefox 10.0.7 ESR, since that entry is set but all our documents are read-only again. We checked that it is a Firefox issue by deactivating all add-ons to be sure, that it's the browser itself that makes that setting.
What is the cause and how can we change it back to them being writeable again?
Andrea

While that may be best practice, it doesn't help in this case.
We use a system that creates documents by using templates and filling datafields with individual values based on the case that is being worked on. These documents are saved in the system and are only displayed for information purpose.
Still some of these documents have to be altered. The system offers this possibility by letting you edit the temp file and load it back up, so that the altered document is saved in the system. The document gets a unique file name in the temp folder which includes numbers so that the system can identify which document in the system should be overwritten by the altered version.
Since the documents aren't meant to be on the local harddrive anyway but in the system, "save as..." is no real solution in this case.

Hi,
The error is because either the primary database or the secondary database is configured as read only and the callback to create the secondary keys is null. A quick glance of the code, it appears as if you did not set up the secondary database correctly. In the Getting Started Guide for JAVA API chap 10, we have detailed information on what needs to be done as well as a code example. Please refer to http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/gsg/JAVA/index.html and look for Chap 10.

"The selected cells are read-only" error on Custom Field when trying to insert in Datasheet mode

I have a custom field that works completely fine. Yesterday our QA team found out that when trying to insert in Datasheet format, the error "The selected cells are read-only" was thrown. Any ideas? I tried passing the following property to my fldtypes_field.xml file:
    <Field Name="ReadOnly">FALSE</Field>
No luck.Victor Palma

Unfortunately it did not work. I also developed the code and access the field and checked its property called "ReadOnlyField" which is already set to false.

Word / excel files (from my XP computer) on my external harddisk are read only!

For merging my software from my old XP pc to my new Apple Imac i use an external hard disk,
Now I see that excel and word files are read only!
What's the problem?

Drag the files to the hard disk before opening them, or install a program such as Paragon NTFS.

All Lumia 928 folders are 'read-only'

So all of a sudden, all the folders on my Lumia 928 are marked as read-only regardless of the PC it is plugged into, and I can no longer drag and drop files between the phone and PC because of it - it tells me I don't have permission or something like that. Not only that, the read-only checkbox is greyed out as you can see in the attachment, so I can't uncheck it to fix the problem. No dedicated software (Zune, Windows Phone Software) works either, and I have exhausted all possibilitiues I can think of.
It's clearly something with the phone since it happens on all PCs, and I suspect a setting, but I can't figure out which. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd welcome them.

Did you try after rebooting the Phone ? Its all 'Read-only' with my Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 1020 too but Drag-Drop or Copy-Paste is possible ...

Sharepoint 2010 Library - All documents are Read Only regardless of permissions and clicking edit

Good afternoon all,
I'm running out of places for me to find assistance on this issue, and am hoping you can help. We're running Sharepoint 2010 as our Intranet. Myself and the rest of the IT staff are administrators, and we're looking under a section that we're specifically
in control of where we have documents for our use. One of the administrators reported that he wasn't able to open a document, and neither was I. This was an older spreadsheet that was never converted. I couldn't open it either, nor could I delete it or manipulate
the entry in the library. I could open explorer and open the file that way, or download it through Chrome.
I was able to remove the file, upconvert the file to .xlsx, and reupload it. Now myself and the users are able to open the file, but we can't manipulate it. In addition to this, it seems that any Office file that we attempt to open in Sharepoint opens up
in Read Only. If we click Read Only, and hit Edit, it stays Read Only (once in a blue moon it allows us to edit it). If we hit edit it still says Read Only at the top.
I'm not the most experienced at Sharepoint so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Are 'read only' items causing my automatic row processing to fail?

I have a form that uses automatic row processing to update my table.
I recently had to add a check to lock down the fields using the read only condition where a record has been 'approved'. So, I turned off all of the fields and hid the update button.
Now they want me to check to see if the user is a manager, and if so, allow them to see the update button, and make a single field on the form modifiable.
I have the user identified as a manager, and can make the field accept the change (a yes/no combo box). Yet when they click the update button, the form just sits there. A branch is supposed to fire on hitting that button, taking them back to the previous report, but it doesn't happen. The source of the combo box in question uses a column on the table, and works fine when the form has all of the fields showing for modification.
I had some validations that I finally set to never fire, thinking that they were failing and just not giving the error messages. I know a bad sql or pl/sql atatement in a validation will cause the form to just keep sitting there doing nothing, and thought it might help.
Several of the various fields are combo boxes, several are text boxes.
I'm stumped.
Shall I keep the regular update button hidden whether it is a manager or not (because it has been 'approved'), and enable a new button that fires off a process to update the one field that the manager may want to change? Does making a field 'read only' always have a detrimental effect on the auto processes I've been counting on? Is that if fact what is happening now?
Thanks in advance for any advice or comments on this.

Hi, Scott.
My version is 3.0.0.00.20
I have received info to set up the application, though I have not activated it as yet. I'm reluctant to try to load up the various tables to make it work. It could be done.
My workaround is to that the user (a manager) fires off to another form to show an individual record, and ask if he/she really wants to make this change. On submit, they will be taken back to the original locked down form, and I will update the single field in that process of returning them. This will actually be a plus, in that I expect to show them all of the 'duplicate' entries for that item, and show them that by 'activating' this particular item, they will 'deactivate' the one duplicate that is currently active. Or, if they are deactivating the sole item that is active, that there will in fact be no active items in the system. Convoluted as heck, but they swear this is how they've been doing business with their briefcases and file cabinets of Excel files. I'm surprise they even float at this point (these are ships we're talking about).
This all may be due to the form originally having a next/previous/count process once arrived at my clicking on the edit button of the report of items. All of that has been hidden away, and though the fields exist of the form, they are not used. They only see the current item that they clicked on from the report.
I read up a little on session state, as well as posts with the debug error I was getting. I'm still not on board with the whole issue of 'state'. Items stay as they are until they're changed, no? I suppose that sounds simplistic.
One of the things that caught my eye was several combo box lists that on read only mode, showed [] square brackets. Which, in some cases is okay.
What I'll try to do is set up a public application - for future use if nothing else. I'm going to be working on this for awhile. I have more than a bit of work to do to cleanse the data as well as get rid of the single sign on requirement (I'll assume that I should have to do this) in order to share the app.
I know you're expecting me to have this up and running for you to look at, but I'm under the gun. And they actually like my workaround.
I'll keep everybody informed, one way or another.
Clayton
