Problem with permissions when upgrading to Yosemite...

I have twice tried to upgrade to Yosemite with the same results each time. Once the installation completes and it goes through the final reboot to start the system, immediately upon start-up, it shows a dialogue box that says something along the lines of, "Yosemite needs to repair your Library." I do authorize it to do a repair, but it seems nothing actually happens.
Yet another problem is also immediately evident at startup, and that is that several of my folders are irrevocably locked..."I don't have permission." This includes folders in my User Library, a folder on my Desktop which is vital to my work, and the Downloads folder. If I try to go to the Get Info area to unlock it, in the Permissions area it says "Fetching", to see who has permissions, but it never stops Fetching. And if I click on the "+" to add a user permission, it hangs and necessitates a hard restart.
Also, when opening Safari, it can't find Safari's keychain or can't access it, and it asks me to reset to default settings.
I'm thinking this all has to do with a bug in the Permissions, but I don't know where the bug is or how to address it. I have gone back to Mavericks twice now, and I don't see any problems with the permissions on the Downloads file, for instance. Also, it seems entirely random as to which files are locked and which aren't, which adds to the confusion.
Any help would be appreciated.

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Problem with Airplay after upgrading to Yosemite.

When I disconnect AIrplay Apple Tv(3), from my macbook pro (early 2011) can't connect again. The icon of Airplay remains blue and no actions can be taken unless restart laptop. Then with the 1st conect/disconect same problem. This problem started after the last upgrade to Yosemite.

I have the same problem. I connect to Airplay with MacBook Pro 2012 running 10.10.1 to a second generation Apple TV. Sometimes, the performance is poor, audio does not come through, etc. Then when I try to disconnect, the menubar icon stays blue and indicates that I am connected. The display system preferences also shows that I am connected. I see multiple screens on my MacBook. Need to restart the MacBook to get out of airplay mode.

Anyone having problems with Safari after upgrading to Yosemite?

Safari takes over 2 minutes to open after upgrading to Yosemite and once open it is not responsive. What is wrong? I have redone the download and it still has the problem.

I found this workaround and it worked for me.
"According to Hontz, the issue seems to be affecting only iPhone 4S users. Hontz has provided the following workaround to fix the issue:
1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number. 2) When the system answer press 1 for “Program or activate your phone” 3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, “Settings updated.” 4) Open the Task Manager (double click the home button) and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications 5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe) 6) Open the Message App to verify the fix.
If you are still broken, kill the Message App again, then reboot your phone.
Did iOS 5.0.1 also mess up your iPhone Contacts? Let us know if the workaround helped."

Problems with pacman when upgrading to xorg7

I decided to try and update from xorg-11R6.8 to 7 tonight, after hesitating for a while. I saw all the bug reports and problem threads, and I still can't understand why something that results in so many bugs has been released. It doesn't seem to comply with the KISS principle, either, but who am I to judge?
Anyway, my problem is this:
When I try to install the xorg components, I get the following message in my terminal. After checking the packe intergrities, it'll go to install the first package and then show this:
load_pkg: missing package name in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libxkbfile-1.0.1-1.pkg.tar.gz.
After removing xorg-11R6.8, it will do this for any package I try to install, whether part of the new modular xorg or not.
If I do a "pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-11R6.8.2-6.pkg.tar.gz", it works fine again.
I've read through the Xorg7 wiki entry and there's no reference to this problem.
Any way to solve it?
Thanks in advance.

That didn't really help, either.
Apart from a fresh install, is there anything I can do to just sort out all these stupid problems in one go?
When I try and upgrade to xorg7, I get all these messages about missing object files and libraries, complaints from /sbin/ldconfig about the nvidia module being empty, all this other crap too; it seems like a different thing broken every time. When I downgrade to xorg-6.8, fluxbox comes up and works, but when I go to upgrade anything else with pacman, I just get the load_pkg errors or whatever else.
I've tried editing my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to the new xorg7 paths when upgrading to xorg7, but it makes no difference.
I don't understand how something that's supposed to simplify Arch could break things for so many people, =

Problems with permissions when backing up to external hardrive

I have two external hardrives. One I use for time machine, and the other I just copy and paste my computer's hardrive. I like to have a couple back up locations.
The problem: Lately when I try the copy and paste operation it gets started then inevitable halts with the message, "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access "Keychain Access.app".
I've run "repair disk permissions" and erased everything on the external before starting. Same problem. Any ideas?
BTW, the Time Machine backup to my G-drive has not experienced this problem.

You need to use dedicated cloning software such as Carbon Copy Cloner and not just copy/paste.

Problem with permissions when copying files over network

This is my setup. Our design studio have several iMacs that the designers use for open projects, when they are finished I copy them over to a G4 which has a SATA raid in it which is used as a file-server for all closed jobs, photos and logos. The file-servers mount point was created using an app called 'Sharepoints'. The iMacs run 10.5.7 the G4 runs 10.4.11.
When I try and copy over a folder full of folders/files for a given project into the given clients folder. I keep getting the error, "the operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for "filename".
If I get info for the given file the owner, group and everyone have read & write access. The client folder on the file-server has the owner, group and everyone having read & write access. I can drag that file by itself over to the file-server and it will copy fine with out the error.
This is doing my head in, the quickest way around the problem is to archive the folder, copy it over and then un-archive it.
Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening and what I should to to fix the problem. Thanks

Problems with sound when upgrading to 3.1.2.

Hi
I have a 2nd Gen iPod Touch and I have just upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1.2. Everything has gone smoothly, but I now have no sounds coming from the iPod. I have reloaded the firmware upgrade and I still have no sound. I have also played with the sound settings (volume lock, sound check) with no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I've just tried upgrading to 3.1.3. and I still have no sound coming from the iPod. Has anyone found a solution to this yet? It's getting quite annoying that I have to downgrade my iPod to 3.0 each time to gain sound and even more annoying not being able to contact Apple over this matter.

HT1229 What happens to photos in an album in iPhoto on Mac when upgrading to Yosemite.

What happens to all the photos in iPhoto when upgrading to Yosemite. My pictures are in an album to be made into a photobook with Shutterfly or another service but it is not entirely ready to go. I would not want to loose this album, took me a long time to gather all these pictures (over 200) , edit them and write captions. I understand that Yosemite will eliminate iPhoto. However, I want to know if they will delete iPhoto even if I do not upgrade as yet.

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this.
I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

Problems with navigation when deploy application on WebLogic 10.3

Hi! I have problems with navigation when I deploy my application on Weblogic server 10.3. In my application I have two pages. One page where I can see the records. In this page I have button Create with action to secound jspx page. When I press this button then the first form (where I could see all records) is empty - the create operation worked, but navigation to second page not. Navigation rules is in adf task flow. In default server all works correct. Where is the problem?
Maybe when I deploy my application I need specialy deploy adf task flow or somewhere write something? If so, then can you explain me where? Any suggestions what to do.
Best regards!

Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.
