Problem with permissions on files brought down from server

We have 19 new macPros running 10.5.2. Users log in as a standard users. They often have a need to move files down from a NAS on the network and then pass those file onto another department for additional work and output. Unfortunately, even though the user is listed as the owner of the file the group and guest are set to read only and the permissions are locked and the user cannot unlock the file permissions without an administrator name and password (which we would rather not give them). We did not have these problems with Tiger. Anyone know what is going on with these permissions?
This is happening on all the machines? Is this normal or is there a problem with the installation? The machines were all imaged using the same software.

I guess we're the only ones?
What make is your NAS Alex?

Problems with permissions of files written over a share

Hello,
I have 2 sharepoints, with his permissions working ok...
If I create a file in a client computer 10.4.8 and copy this file to the share, the file assumes the permissions of the share, (Owner=RW, Group=RW) but if I create a file from an application, example, TextEdit or FreeHand, and save it directly over the share, the file doesn´t assumes the permissions of the share, it remains read only for a group, although it must to assume those of the share, read/write for a group. I dont know what happend, and how to fix it.
help will be appreciated
thanks

I too am experiencing this problem. We have a small 7 user workgroup of mostly PCs but some Macs and a single linux box on a Tiger server running 10.4.7 (maybe I should upgrade it to 10.4.8 which is supposed to fix some permissions problems).
The problem started on Wednesday when one of our people changed some permissions for a folder and all its contents using the Get Info dialogue. Ever since then we have had permissions problems.
I wrote a file on my PowerBook, emailed it to a colleague, she saved it, now I cannot edit it. Not only that, I cannot login to the server either, despite having Admin privileges. I could login as super user, but haven't done that yet.
The reason he had to change the permissions was because he recently set a folder up as a sharepoint with limited access when it had previously run happily as part of another folder with wider access. He's not a Mac user but prefers Linux so it's possible he made a wrong move. Since Tiger is so hard to administer anyway, I can't immediately see what is wrong.
The permissions in Workgroup Manager appear to be using POSIX settings without inheritance. I guess I'll have to change all the shares to Inherit Permissions. Maybe I'll try the ACL route as suggested here too.
Any other ideas?

Problems with permissions on file-repositories

Hello Forum,
i'm getting confused while i'm testing the differences between the acl/w2k security managers.
My Konfig:
Networkpath
filehost\ep6
user
domain\j2ee
                    (this user has full-access to all docs)
then i configured 3 File-Reps, all pointing to the same share (
filehost\ep6):
EP6            no security-manager
EP6_ACL        acl security manager
EP6_W2K        w2k security manager
               (Portal-User mapped to the windows-User)
I expect:
- EP6     access to all documents
- EP6_ACL access to documents where i have granted access to my portal user via permissions in the KM-Content
- EP6_W2K access to documents where the mapped windows user has been granted access on the filesystem
This is what i get:
All three Repostories behave in the same way.
- my Portal User can only access Files, where the
domain\user has been granted access
- it seems, that the assigned security-managers didn't work
- EP6_ACL it makes no difference if i assign restrictions to the KM-ACLs
- EP6_W2K it makes no difference if i assign permisons for my windows-user on the os
Where is my fault.
Do I have to deal with some caching-problems?
Do i have to use three different Locations on the filehost?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Frank,
in the rough context, check this new paper that describes how Windows File Servers can be integrated into the SAP KM platform using SSO and the WebDAV repository manager:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/integration of windows file servers into the sap km platform using sso and the webdav repository manager.pdf

Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

haben
From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

Tempo problems with imported wav files

Hey everyone, sorry if there's a quick fix for this in the forums that I couldn't find, but I've been having some tempo problems with imported .wav files.
Long story short, my system couldn't handle playing all the tracks for a song while recording drums, so I bounced out an mp3 of the song and put it in a new Logic file so my drummer could just play along to that as I recorded him. Unfortunately, the original song is at 167 bpm, but I forgot to change the bpm in the new Logic file with the .mp3 file of the song to 167 bpm, so it was left at the default 120 bpm.
So, the drums were recorded at the correct 167 bpm, but Logic thinks that those new drum .wav files should be played at 120 bpm, so when I import my drum tracks back into the original file, they do not play correctly at all.
I could get record it all again, but I wanted to check if there was a way I could salvage what I already have, since my drummer lives about an hour away right now and can't just come over whenever he wants.
Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.

Hi,
First, do not use MP3 in Logic, the sound quality is less than AIFF, WAV or CAF, and Logic has to decode it for playback, making it a heavier burden on the CPU than an uncoded audiofile, such as AIFF, WAV or CAF.
Secondly, audio files are independent of Logic's tempo. If you bounce down an audio file in any format (other than Apple Loop), it will play back at the same speed, +regardless of Logics' tempo setting+, either at recording or playback. Logic doesn't 'think' anything. The BPM is only important to MIDI tracks, or to the spacing between audio files. The audio files themselves *are not affected* by the tempo setting. If you import an audio file of tempo 167 into a 120 BPM project, the file will still play at 167, only Logic will indicate the wrong bar positions.
regards, Erik.

Problem with preview PDF files on Windows 7 32bit

Hello,
in my office I have a problem with preview PDF files on my computers. The files are allright, but if I select a file and click on preview mode after ~ 10sec operation system write something "Preview this file is corrupt for PDF Preview Handler wrong". On other 64bit computers with same programs the preview is work. I try uninstall all Adobe soft (Reader, Flash), clean all Adobe data from folders in root and in register, but it is not solve this problem. On Microsoft forums wrote me, that the problem is probably with AR plugin.
So, can someone help me?

Thank you for help.

I think I figured it out after reading other forums. Thanks!

Problem with uploading a file in Clustered Environment

Hi,
I have a problem with uploading a file in a clustered environment. I have an iview component which facilitates an upload action of an xml config file. The problem is that the upload of the modified XML file is reflected only in the central instance of the cluster and not in the dialog instances. The dialog instances hold the old config file.
Is there any solution to upload the file to all the nodes in the cluster.
Thanks
Kiran

Hi,
This is a known problem with clustered environment. Remember that your portal component runs on just on dialog instance and it doesn't automatically have access to the other nodes. However, there are some ways to get around this
1. Use KM to store files. KM is a common repository for all application servers and therefore you needn't worry more
2. Use an external batch oriented product (suresync/robocopy) to synch folders on the different DIs. You basically use your existing portal component, but there is a batch job which makes sure the upload folder is identical on all DIs (however, there is a slight delay depending on how often you run the batch job)
3. Store the files on a shared disk directly from the portal component.
Cheers

InDesign CS5 causing problems with InCopy assignment file but not content files

I'm having a strange InDesign/InCopy CS5 issue (Mac OSX 10.6.6; all system & Adobe updates are current). In my InDesign doc I have one assignment file containing two content files. All of the InCopy pieces work fine in InDesign (i.e., I can check out/in, edit, etc.). When I go to open the assignment file in InCopy, InCopy starts to open it but then crashes. If I try to open each content file directly in InCopy, no problem. I've tried deleting and recreating new assignments in InDesign, but they all have the same result in InCopy.
I think this actually is a problem with the InDesign file because if I export the InDesign file to IDML, then try to open the IDML file, InDesign crashes! I've trashed my InDesign preferences, made sure all cross-references are up to date, etc. Anybody have any ideas what else to look for in my InDesign file that might cause this problem?
Thanks!
Andrea

Thanks John!
1) Here are the first 10-ish lines from the crash report that is generated when I try to open the IDML file:

2) That works. Moved all pages (frame threading was preserved) to a new doc, exported to IDML, opened new IDML file just fine. Woo hoo! One of my editors won't be pleased that all of the tracked changes have disappeared, but at least the file functions now
Wish I knew what caused the problem in the first place so we could (hopefully) prevent this from happening again. Any ideas?
Thanks again for your help!
Cheers,
Andrea

Problems with reading XML files with ISO-8859-1 encoding

Hi!

I read files from the web, but there is a XML tag
with the encoding attribute in the RSS file.If you are quite sure that you have an encoding attribute set to ISO-8859-1 then I expect that your RSS file has non-ISO-8859-1 character though I thought all bytes -128 to 127 were valid ISO-8859-1 characters!
Many years ago I had a problem with an XML file with invalid characters. I wrote a simple filter (using FilterInputStream) that made sure that all the byes it processed were ASCII. My problem turned out to be characters with value zero which the Microsoft XML parser failed to process. It put the parser in an infinite loop!
In the filter, as each byte is read you could write out the Hex value. That way you should be able to find the offending character(s).

Problem with finding a File

Hi:
I am having problem with finding a file on the OS
(using Win2000) when given an absolute pathname;
here is the rough code:
//theFile is specified at command line
File f = new File(theFile);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));When I run the program, I type
java myProgram C:\aFolder\theFile
But it can't find theFile. I am not sure what's wrong.
Thanx

No that can't be it; he takes the filename from the command line, so escaping isn't an issue (unless he used a shell that unescaped '\\' for him, but I think he's using the win2000 cmd shell).
Dunno, I have no idea of your filesystem or shell. Just do some debugging, around the lines of:
File f = new File(theFile);
if (f.exists()) {
System.err.println(theFile + " exists.");
} else {
System.err.println(theFile + " doesn't exist.");
}

Problem with the installation file

Hello Everyone!
I am trying to install Nokia Ovi Suite in my Windows 7 computer from yesterday, whenever I run the web installer file I am getting the Error Message as "Problem with the installation file" (attached as a jpeg file with this post).
I have downloaded the exe file (approx 88.4MB from : http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/Nokia_Ovi_Suite_webinstaller_ALL.exe ) several times, still no luck.
Anyone is having the solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hi SSA
I've downloaded it so many times I nearly exceeded my download limit ! Seriously , I know others must be able to get it , so why is there a problem ? I'm going to stop at the store where I purchased the phone and get THEM to try. If the sig is OK , I'm going to copy it and bring it home , if it's NOT OK then maybe they'll take it up with Nokia as they're the ones selling it to the ' happy customers' ..? When I first contacted support , they said to disable both firewall and A/V before attempting to download it ? I've downloaded thousands of files and never had to do that ? Sure ,you might have to disable something during installation , but not for the download ? I even did it in safe mode with networking and the same thing happened. I even asked if they could send me an install CD and they said NO. Not happy about that either..We'll see what happens.. I like the phone ..I'd just like it to do what I bought it for !!
