Problem with file saving permissions.
Latest 2.1 - says I don't have permission to save files. Fixed one file changing everyone permission custom to read-write. But problem appears in other files - some aren't even numbers files. The problem started immediately upon the latest software update for numbers. Is the a bug others have experienced? Is there a fix - the one I did only does a file at a time.
Dale,
I can recall one other similar complaint recently:

Problems with files saving in a quicktime format
I am having a problem with files from several programs in my adobe CS6 Master Collection saving in a quicktime format. I am running a Windows7 PC. It appears to be happening in both photoshop and fireworks from what I can tell. Does anybody have any idea why this is doing it and how to fix it?
Fireworks doesn't save or export in Quicktime format.

Problem with File Sharing-Permissions throughout Folders
I'm having an odd problem when setting up a Mac Pro with File Sharing. I have a second Hard Drive in it which is a Server Drive to be shared as a networked Hard Drive for both my MBP and my Fiancee's MBP. Here is the problem I have.
I set up File Sharing and set up both her ID and my ID. Since this is done she is able to get to drive from my MBP and she is able to get to the drive from her MBP. I am able to read or write to those folders. She is able to view them but is unable to write to them.
I went to the Server Drive icon on the Mac Pro's Desktop. When I right click and do "Get Info" and select Sharing I can tell her ID is not listed on any of the Folders. She is listed as Read and Write for the entire Hard Drive (which is an internal drive). I am also listed as Read and WRite and then it lists Everyone and says No Access. The same is listed in System Preferences in File Sharing. I have heard this Everyone 'No Access' can cause problems but I prefer not to give access to everyone. The only other option is Read Only and Read and Write. Also, when I have Everyone selected the - sign is greyed out so I'm unable to remove Everyone.
To continue, what is strange is I thought with it saying on the Server Drive itself for my Fiancee, read & write, that it would say this on every Folder inside. Yet when I select any Folder inside on the Server Drive and select Get Info it says for me "Read & Write" and for Staff "Read Only" and for Everyone "Read only" I'm not even sure where Staff comes fro and of course Everyone is Read Only and my Fiancee not even listed. It just seems that these file sharing permissions are not replicated througout all the Folders when I select it for the Hard Drive itself. What could be causing this and how can I get the same to go throughout the Folders? I know manually I could change them all but this would take a long time and likely still be a problem when any additional Folders are added.1. I have turned logged into it from my MBP while at Home and if I'm logged in as Guest I only see the Server Drive which is good. My concern is that if I log in with my login I then sell all Folders including the Main 'Macintosh HD' At least as a guest I can only see the Server Drive but is it any way I can stop it from showing all the other folders on the computer since I have no reason to do that?
When you login to a mac as an administrator it is normal to see all the contents of the volumes connected to that mac.
2. Also, I would like to disable all access for Guest. Yet I have it list Everyone or Guest in the file sharing and I have no way of deleting this. I don't want a Guest to be able to connect to this computer or share any files at all on it. Is there any way to disable this?
Goto system preferernces-->accounts
click on the lock to and enter your password to unlock the preference pane.
Then select the guest account. Then uncheck the 2 check boxes. The account should now have 'disabled' underneath it.
3. Security: How secure is this? I am using it on a Home Wi-Fi network with an Airport Base Station 1GB. I have the Leopard filewall set to "Set Access for Specific Services" since it won't work with "Allow only essential services" I hope my home network is more security but with Back to my Mac how hard would it be for someone to be able to find this computer on the network? I don't do any filesharing on my MBP but do have it set up for File Sharing but only with my login ID.
If you have your base station set to distribute ip addresses then it is acting as a NAT router and will firewall you.
I have not setup back to my mac yet so can't comment on its security. Although I would suggest a strong password.
have a read of Mac OS X 10.5: About Back to My Mac security
My method of remote access is to use SSH and run screen sharing over an SSH tunnel. -
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.

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 using Tomcat 5.5 on Ubuntu Linux, if that has anything to do with this.
I'll appreciate all help.
kari-mattiHello again.
I'm still having problems with this. I made
a simple servlet that reads from and writes
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.
I also asked a friend of mine to try this same
servlet on his windows computer and it works
as it should.
Here's the code
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ReadServlet extends HttpServlet
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
String s = "";
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String docroot = getServletContext().getRealPath( "/" );
out.println("docroot: "+docroot);
File file = new File(docroot+"test.txt");
if(file.exists())
s = readFile(file);
out.println(s);
else
out.println("file not found");
//file.createNewFile(); // causes exception
//out.println("new file created.");
writeFile(file, "written by servlet");
out.println("Now look in the file "+file.getPath());
out.println("and see if it contains text 'written by servlet'");
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
doPost(request, response);
private String readFile(File file)
FileInputStream fis = null;
BufferedInputStream bis = null;
DataInputStream dis = null;
String s = "";
try
fis = new FileInputStream(file);
bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
s = dis.readLine();
fis.close();
bis.close();
dis.close();
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
return s;
private void writeFile(File file, String s)
FileOutputStream fos = null;
BufferedOutputStream bos = null;
DataOutputStream dos = null;
try
fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
dos = new DataOutputStream(bos);
dos.writeChars(s);
fos.flush();
bos.flush();
dos.flush();
fos.close();
bos.close();
dos.close();
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}And if someone wants to test this servlet I can
give a war package.
Any advices?
kari-matti -
why would an error pop up saying the installer is damaged. The Installer can’t open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions. when trying to install java 7?
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.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting. -

I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
PDF XChange (my favorite)
Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
Adobe (the bloated monster)
Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
ABBYY
And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
Here is what I've learned for my situation
The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files. -
Problem with File Based replication in Weblogic Express 10
Hi,
We have Web application (exploded war) file deployed on Weblogic Express 10, to a Cluster of three Managed Servers (all three on different physical machines).
We are using File based session persistance in weblogic.xml
We have a shared location for all the three servers where we will be sharing the Session data.
When we start the application, its works fine and is very fast, but after sometime the application slows down.
Troubleshooting the Issue we found that its a problem with file based replication. By using File based replication every user session is stored in form of directory inside shared directory. So after sometime thousands of directories are created inside the shared directory where the session information is stored. So when we access the application, its waiting for lot of time with Message Session Monitor .... (this is because its browsing through the shared session storage directory for lot of time for session information as it has lot of directories) and finally after a long time like 10 mins we get the Application Home Page.
When we clean up all the saved sessions inside shared directory, the application works fine, But we will see the same sometime later may be after 3 or 4 hours when the shared session directory has lot of session information stored in it.
Is there a way to clean up the saved session information on file system as soon as that user session is closed by using file based replication.
We cannot used Inmemory replication as our Appl doesnt support it.
Please advice as it is a major show stopper in our Production Mirror env.
Weblogic ConsultantIt is possible to reduce number of live session by configuring very low timeout-secs weblogic.xml. Default is 60 minutes.
More details are here..

One of the desktops on my macbook 2007 steel case will not open.
The message i get on screen at login is that there is a problem with file vault.
my dissertation is on that desktop.
all other desktops/user accounts are unaffected and i have admin permissions on them
i recently upgraded to osx 10.9.4
how can i get back in?
chaiman 22If you restored the account to which the FileVault protected Home folder belonged, then you need to log into that account and enable FileVault.
If you just need access to the data in the FV protected Home folder, then locate the sparsebundle disc image file that contains the encrypted folder. Double-click on it as if to mount it. You will then need to enter the FV password associated with the account to gain access (this is NOT the admin nor login password.) -
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...

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.

Problem with File Content Conversion
Hi All
I am facing a problem with file content conversion.
This is my sample file structure:
Header_Record (Occurance - 1)
Field1 in Header
Field2 in Header
Item(Occ-1 to n)
Field3 in Item
Field4 in Item
<<ItemType>> (Structure in Item) (Occ - 0 to n)
<<Field5>> in ItemType
<<Field6>> in ItemType
<<ItemTypeCategory>> (Structure in ItemType)(Occ - 0 to n)
<<<<Field7>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
<<<<Field8>>>> in ItemTypeCategory
Footer_Record (Occurance-1)
Field9
Field10
There is a key field 'Type' in all the above records with unique value in each record.
Now, I defined Field content conversion as follows:
Recordset Structure: Header_Record,1,Item, * , ItemType, * ,ItemTypeCategory, * ,Footer_Record,1
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
KeyField Name: Type
Following are parameters defiled:
Header_Record.Keyfieldvalue: 00
Header_Record.fieldseperator: ,
Header_Record.fieldnames: Field1,Field2
Header_Record.endseperator: 'nl'
Item.keyfieldvalue: 05
item.fieldseperator: ,
item.fieldfieldnames: field3,field4
item.endseperator: 'nl'
ItemType.keyfieldvalue: 10
itemType.fieldseperator: ,
itemType.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
itemType.endseperator: 'nl'
ItemTypecategory.keyfieldvalue: 15
itemTypecategory.fieldseperator: ,
itemTypecategory.fieldfieldnames: field7,field8
itemTypecategory.endseperator: 'nl'
Footer.keyfieldvalue: 20
Footer.fieldseperator: ,
Footer.fieldfieldnames: field5,field6
Footer.endseperator: 'nl'
Now, i pass the following file:
00,111
05,222
10,333
15,444
20,555
What i expect out of my FCC is this (Sample output to show the hierarchy of field values):
00,111
05,222
<<10,333>>
<<<<15,444>>>>
20,555
But, I am getting this output (Hierarchy is missing. All the structures are in the same order without hierarchy):
00,111
05,222
10,333
15,444
20,555
Field values are being identified according to field content conversion, but, the hierarchy of the fields is missing.
Can you please tell me how should i change my FCC config?
Sorry for this long question.
Many Thanks
Chandra

Hi
We r facing typical problem with file adapter.
Lets say there are 30 files to be processed by placing an copy in arichive folder by file adapter based on pooling
parameters.
All the 30 files are picked up and we can see the copies in archive folder.
But when we go to RWB and check the audit log,
there we could see only 25 files , the 5 files are missing.
no trace found therre about the 5 files.
This is happening only some times and not to all the files placed in the FTP. Later when the same file is placed back from the Archive folder to the Source folder, the file is being picked and processed succesfully.
unfortunately this is happening on Production server
Any pointers which could trouble shoot this issue.
Regards
shekar chandraHi,
Couple of thing which you can try....
1. Use EOIO QoS and check if you still face the issue.
Is some program or application writing files to the directory? If yes I would recommend the use of a temporary name to write the files and then rename them.
Sometimes when an external application connects via FTP and transfers the files...
The file could be picked up by the adapter poll even before the transfer of data is done.
Which is why you will find that the file is archived but there is no xml message created for the same in the Integration engine.
Try increasing the poll interval. This helps sometimes.
Regards,
Sidharth
