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 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 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

  • Problem with SDO_relate when using polygons with holes.

    I'm having a problem with sdo_relate. I'm trying to extract all elements from a point table (bdtq_batim_p) that are inside a specific polygon from another table (SDA_MUNIC_SS). The spatial index for both table have been rebuilt and the data from both table is valid.
    When I do a count on the query, I know the answer should be 1422 elements (Counted in ArcGIS). However, sdo_relate gives a smaller number of elements in the result set.
    The query :
    SELECT count(distinct t.identifiant) FROM bdtq_batim_p t, SDA_MUNIC_SS s WHERE s.mus_co_geo = '48015' and sdo_relate( t.SHAPE,s.SHAPE,'mask=anyinteract querytype=window') = 'TRUE'
    returns 282 elements. The query with mask=inside, SDO_Anyinteract() and SDO_inside() all give the same result.
    I did a test with the following query and the result is 1422 (which is the good result).
    SELECT count(distinct t.identifiant) FROM bdtq_batim_p t, SDA_MUNIC_SS s WHERE s.mus_co_geo = '48015' and SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE( t.SHAPE,s.SHAPE,'distance=0') = 'TRUE';
    It's important to note that the polygone (from SDA_MUNIC_SS) that is used for this query have holes in it. I have the same problem with all the polygons from the SDA_MUNIC_SS table that have holes in it. For the polygon without holes, the results are the same for the 2 queries.
    My question are :
    Why are the result from the two queries different? A query with a buffer of 0 should always return the same result as a query with Anyinteract.
    Is there a known problem with SDO_RELATE when using a polygon with holes in it?
    Do you have any idea how to solve my problem.

    Since i don't have much control on the version of Oracle and Patches that we use in the system, we used a workaround that detects the polygons with holes and uses the SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE( t.SHAPE,s.SHAPE,'distance=0') = 'TRUE' operator in those case. We saw a slight decline in performance but it now returns the right results. When the system will be patched, we'll come back to the original version and see if the problem is solved.

  • Problems with sources of supply determination for external requirements.

    Hi gurus...
    My scenario is  SRM Classic Extended.
    We have a problems with sources of supply determination for external
    requirements comes from ECC. The shopping cart is created with successful
    based in the purchase requisition at ECC, but when i try to make the
    determination of sources of supply the system doesnt find any source of
    supply.
    There are a lot sources of supply creates for these parameters. The
    contracts were already replicated to ECC.
    This problem only occurs with external requirements comes from ECC, if i
    created a shopping cart directly at SRM, using the same parameters, the
    system propose the sources of supply correctly.
    Is there something that we can do?? This is the normal comportment for the souces of supply?
    Tks,
    Gustavo Nogueira

    Hello Gustavo Nogueira
    Then it is an issue.
    How are you searching the source of supply in sourcing cockpit.
    Can you replicate the issue?
    Let me know step by step,
    as per standard SAP , source of supply data must be available for shopping carts so that buyer can assign the source of supply.
    please share what source of supply you have there .

  • 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

    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.

    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.
