Read and Write iDVD trouble with backed up iDVD project

Hey guys, I need to open an iDVD project file within my time machine backups for a previously existing user on an external backup hard drive.
When I click it to open I get this message: "An error occurred while loading the project. This project seems to be write-protected and can't be opened."
I've tried right clicking on the file, selecting 'Get info' and changing administrators and 'everyone' to read and write but no luck. Any ideas, suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Correct.
Now I see I missed the wording of the "file not writeable" message, which doesn't sound like a permissions issue. That sounds like it's either not compatible (ie, not for the same version of iDVD), or corrupted.
If you haven't changed versions, try a +*Verify Disk+* on your internal HD, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

How to read and write Unicode text with MS Access?

Hi all, I'm new to Java, so please forgive me if my question is too ... ^_^
I'm writing a small program that read and write data with MS Access. However, when I insert Unicode text into the database, it has wrong encoding like this "h?y l? n?m".
Please tell me how to fix this.
Thanks in advance!

The following forum thread might be enlightening:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=573855&messageID=2870785
I myself do not use MS Access, but a PreparedStatement is in general the best option.
You can set parameters in the SQL which then get converted and even protected against SQL injection hacking.

How can I read and write encrypted Mails with my iPhone?

Thanks for any help.

Hello;
The only way for you to have your DAQ file is by using MAX and save the configuration to a file. In case you have the configuration beforehand, you don't even need to load MAX, you can pre-save the configuration file and copy it to the Window Registry location where the current file pointer is stored.
Hope this helps.

Read and write speeds of PCI-E SSD 256GB

What are the read and write speeds exceeded with a 2014 Mac Mini with the 256GB PCI-E SSD from Apple? Thanks.
PS: I was thinking about getting the 2014 Mac Mini with these specs at $899.99:
2.6GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz)
8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM
256GB PCIe-based Flash Storage

8 to 9 hundre MB/s for the PCIe SSDs vs 500 MB/s for a starndard SSD

I'm having trouble with back to my MAC. I had everything working on my home wifi network but now I am at my daughter's house and trying to connect via a verizon hotspot wifi connection. I'm wondering if the Verizon hookup is a problem.

I'm having trouble with back to my MAC. I had everything working on my home wifi network but now I am at my daughter's house and trying to connect via a verizon hotspot wifi connection. I'm wondering if the Verizon hookup is a problem.

I finally figured it out. Needed to update her Airport firmware and allow guest access, and also changed Sharing preferences to Allow Access for All Users.

I cannot update from OS 10.9.4 to 10.9.5. I get a message saying: File couldn't be installed error (513). I have configured my OS so that I have read and write permission followed by system with read and writ permission. Can someone help me? Thanks.

I cannot update from OS X 10.9.4 t0 10.9.5> Whenever I try I get the following message: File couldn't be installed error (513) and something about not having the proper permission. Under the Macintosh HD sharing and permissions settings I have customized the settings so that (Me) has read and write permission followed by the system with read and write permission, wheel and everyone have Read permissions.
I have no problems updating apps such as Adobe CC or iTunes but cannot update the operating system, can someone help me? Thanks.

1. Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, go to Step 2.
If there's no change after taking this step, continue.
2. Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/var/folders
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "folders" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How do I migrate files created in a Windows OS to a new external drive that is formatted as a MAC drive. I want to read and write these files back to the new drive.

If all you're trying to do is move the files from the Windows external to the Mac external, you can simply connect them both to the Mac and drag the files from the Windows drive to the Mac drive. If you want to move the files back and forth between them, you'll need to establish the format of the Windows external. Macs can read and write to FAT32 and exFAT (which can handle files larger than 4GB) formatted drives but can only read NTFS formatted drives without additional software. With the Windows drive connected, you can check its format with Disk Utility.

Just bought a mac air with OS X v.10.7 Lion, for work I need to read and write NTFS drives, I install MacFuse and NTFS-3G, but it can not mount (recognize?) External HDD, in my MBP with Snow Lepard it work just perfectly... help please.

Reinstall MacFuse with the one from http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg. If that doesn't work, you can use Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 which has been designed to work with Lion.

Hi,
Office programs are specific. They will create a temp file when edit, then the temp file will be deleted when close. So Delete permission is needed for users to saving Office files like Excel/Word.
For more detaile information, please refer to the thread below:
Special Permissions - User cannot save files

and my code to do it is :
XElement best=XElement.Load("Assets/best.xml");

// what code to save this xml file after modify ?????
else
list_box.Text = check.ToString();
i down know what method can help me save my xml file after update hight score of user in this case .
Anyone has an idea to solve it for me ? please , thanks you !
sorry about my english !

Hi,
It is not recommended to update a file withing the project, so you need to store it in the IsolatedStorage.
Here is a sample to read and write file in IsolatedStorage,
XDocument xDoc;
var file = Util.ReadFile("XMLFile.xml");
if (file != null)
xDoc = XDocument.Parse(file);
var bestScore = xDoc.Element("best_score").Value;
//do calculation
xDoc.Element("best_score").Value = "200";
Util.SaveFile("XMLFile.xml", xDoc.ToString());
For the above code to work, you need to have a file named "XMLFile.xml" in your IsolatedStorage, with data as "<best_scrore>200</best_scrore>"
To read and write file:
public static class Util
public static void SaveFile(string filename, string data)
try
using (var store = System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
using (var stream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(filename, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite, store))
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(stream);
writer.Write(data);
writer.Close();
catch (Exception)
Debug.WriteLine("Couldn't save the file.");
public static string ReadFile(string filename)
try
String data;
if (!IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication().FileExists(filename)) return null;
using (var store = System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
using (var stream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, store))
StreamReader stmReader = new StreamReader(stream);
data = stmReader.ReadToEnd();
stmReader.Close();
return data;
catch (Exception)
return null;

How well does mac read and write with FAT32

Hi there,
I have heard that an external hard drive formatted in FAT32 from a windows machine will work with a mac. Is it a seemless read and write while using an application. i have both a pc and a mac and want both to use the same harddrive.
Thanks,
WayneAdams

Hi,
as brianking said, you won't be able to boot from it, but for an external drive fat32 works like a charm. I share three 250 GB external drives with my colleagues at work and we only once had a problem of destroyed FAT which might have been caused by the Mac, but was never examined since it did not happen again.

Read and write with usb printer

hello friends
i m new in labview . can any body advised me how to read and write with printer that have USB interface . because latest printer connection are usb based not parallel port based.
any example or material.
i shall be very grateful to u
thanks

Hi,
It depends on what type of driver you are using, and how that driver communicates with you printer.
There are lost of different ways LabVIEW can interface with external hardware, either using all libary function node, ActiveX, .NET, etc. It all depends on what type of driver you are using.

Hot Data Block with concurrent read and write

Hi,
This is from ADDM Report.
FINDING 8: 2% impact (159 seconds)
A hot data block with concurrent read and write activity was found. The block
belongs to segment "SIEBEL.S_SRM_REQUEST" and is block 8138 in file 7.
RECOMMENDATION 1: Application Analysis, 2% benefit (159 seconds)
ACTION: Investigate application logic to find the cause of high
concurrent read and write activity to the data present in this block.
RELEVANT OBJECT: database block with object# 73759, file# 7 and
block# 8138
RATIONALE: The SQL statement with SQL_ID "f1dhpm6pnmmzq" spent
significant time on "buffer busy" waits for the hot block.
RELEVANT OBJECT: SQL statement with SQL_ID f1dhpm6pnmmzq
DELETE FROM SIEBEL.S_SRM_REQUEST WHERE ROW_ID = :B1
RECOMMENDATION 2: Schema, 2% benefit (159 seconds)
ACTION: Consider rebuilding the TABLE "SIEBEL.S_SRM_REQUEST" with object
id 73759 using a higher value for PCTFREE.
RELEVANT OBJECT: database object with id 73759
SYMPTOMS THAT LED TO THE FINDING:
SYMPTOM: Wait class "Concurrency" was consuming significant database
time. (4% impact [322 seconds])
what does it mean by hot block with concurrent read and write??
is rebuilding the table solves the problem as per addm report?

Hi,
You must suffer from buffer busy waits.
When a buffer is updated, the buffer will be latched, and other sessions can not read it or write it.
You must have multiple sessions reading and writing that one block.
Recommendation 2 results in fewer records per block, so less chance multiple sessions are modifying and reading 1 block. It will also result in a bigger table.
The recommendation doesn't make sense for tablespaces with segment storage management auto, as for those tablespaces pctfree does not apply.
Buffer busy waits will also occur if the blocksize of your database is set too high.
