Read only message

Hi all,
I downloaded a selection data from a PA in prod server using the button'save locally' and then tried to upload the same file into the similar PA in a sandbox. But it is saying that the file is read only so is not saving any data. Can anybody suggest a solution on this? I made all appropriate settings like save foe uploading later and all while saving the CSV file.

Hi Neha,
Do you have any time periods in the past which are for display only and not ready for input???
If yes, I think the system is trying to copy values into the time periods in the past which are only in display mode. But I tried doing the same on my system, it just gives me a warning but it still copies data into all ready for input cells. The warning message i get is /SAPAPO/SDP_UPLOAD014 - 'Contents of a cell from a file are not transferred; read-only'.
Is the system giving you a warning or an error. If you are getting the same warning message, then I guess you are fine as all the editable cells are being copied. If you want to copy data into the past time periods as well, then you might have to change the setting in Planning book and make the past time periods ready for input as well.
Hope that solves your problem.
Regards,
Shiv.

Backup failure, read only message

I've been using a time capsule for about 6 mo. Recently I have been getting a backup failure message from Time Machine, saying that the backup volume, my Time Capsule, is read only. I reset the Time Capsule settings and still am having problems. Does anyone know why I would get a "read only" message about the Time Capsule?

I'd run /Utilities/Disc Utility and re-format it yourself, it most likely came formatted for PC not Mac ...

Keep getting a read only message and have to save with different name

I am editing some pdf files, and every time I save I get the message: "The file may be read only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
However, when I right click the file and click properties, it is not listed as a read only file. Nor is the directory read only. Having to save each file as a different name is driving me nuts. Is there a fix?

Is this file saved on a network drive, or a shared folder?
If so, it's possible someelse in the network has it open at the same time as you.

Get read only message about time machine.

I have a 500 Iomega hard drive as a backup drive. Both the imac and the backup drive were unplugged for about a week while I was on vacation. When I returned and plugged the machines in again I began getting repeated time machine error messages informing me that the backup is read only. Also the time machine is not updating. The last time it updated was Oct. 5.
Can anybody help.
Thanks.

Sounds as if the external is failing, can you check the power brick and see if it's working? Do you have another brick that you can use to see if the original one failed? Try using a different cable to connect with the external drive. If none of this works, try connecting another drive to your iMAc and see if TM will back up to it.

"Read-only" message when saving edited PDF

When I try and save editing in an existing PDF I get a pop-up window saying it could not be saved becase it may be read-only. This is true even on files that I have saved myself that are not read-only. How can I get rid of this?? The only option I have is to save the file under a different name which leaves me with the same file.

Hi ILM100213,
What version of Acrobat are you using (and have you installed the latest updated)? And what operating system? Have you double-checked the file permissions on those files to make sure that you have read-write access? And, do you know whether any of those files have document permissions assigned in Acrobat?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

Continuous 'read-only' message Word

Dear all,
I am new to this community and have tried looking for an answer to my question (e.g. Shared Excel/Word files corrupting/becoming read only on 10.9.1 Server, 3.0.2), but as I am not a computer buff at all, I didn't understand whether encountered topics applied to my question, let alone understand the answers.. So here goes!
Working on my thesis (a 917 KB document), my Word document has started to give a similar error every 5-10 minutes, saying: "this file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the Save dialog box" (Word Work File A_ ...... asd). I've tried this many times, but the error keeps on popping up, regardless of whether I save the document to a memory stick or to my hard drive. Any clues on what might cause it and how I could solve it? Kind of afraid this will cause problems at some point (and in any case, the continuous errors are quite annoying..).
I am working on a MacBook Air, 2012, OS X Mavericks version 10.9.4, Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.0.0.
Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for your reply CT!
I hadn't in fact - but have now .
Also found a thread that my problem may be related to an excess of left-over temp files.. but am not sure that's the case, and also not sure how to remove them on a Mac (found this: http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm, but it applies to Windows users).. I have deleted my history (incl. cookies and buffer) in Firefox now, but it has not made a difference, so I don't think it helped.. Conclusion: still very happy with any tips/advice! Cheers!

Since hard drive restore, backup gives Disk Repair, Read-only errors

Hi all -
After a hard drive crash last week, I restored the new HD using my historically reliable wireless Time Capsule (TC) with Time Machine (TM). But ever since, backups have ceased to work. Now, TM spins for about an hour before returning the following errors in sequence:
(1) DISK REPAIR: "The disk 'Backup of [my name] Macbook' was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must back up your data and reformat the disk as soon as possible."
(2) TIME MACHINE ERROR: The backup volume is read only. To select a different volume, open System Preferences and choose Time Machine."
I very much doubt there is an actual problem with the TC disk itself; my wife's iBook G4 continues to backup to it without any problem whatsoever. Related threads have suggested:
a) doing clever things with Preferences, such as deleting the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file and re-booting. However, for some reason (perhaps related to the source of the problem?) I have no such file...
b) using Disk Utility to re-format and/or re-partition (these terms mean little to me) the TC disk. But my Disk Utility doesn't see the TC. (Perhaps related, I no longer actually see the little backup disk icon on the desktop.) And as I've said, I doubt very much it's the TC disk itself that it is the problem.
I have of course tried re-booting everything, as well as un-mounting and re-mounting the TC: Computer, heal thyself! No luck.
Any guidance is appreciated...
(PS If there's a log file I should post that might help with diagnostics, just let me know where to find it.)

I have suffered the same error messages, but without a hard disk crash before it.
I copied the backup-file from the TC to a separate drive, erased the TC, re-installed it, copied the backup-file to the TC en re-initiated TM only to be welcomed with the 'The backup volume is read only'-message again.
Beats me why this happened. Most frustrating part, however, is that I am not able to restore from the backup-file. Any suggestions are highly appreciated!

Unable to save Word documents when accessing them directly from the site because the document never converts from a read-only even though the User chooses to enable editing

Issue has only popped up recently and cannot reproduce in a Test environment. Unaware of any SharePoint changes, so hoping someone can point me in the correct direction.
Previously Word document did not have to be physically checked out, but rather the editing of the doc also checked out the doc in a document library. This is the way we want it to remain –
no manual check-out process. Now if a doc is edited without being checked-out, there is an issue with the process as the application thinks the doc is read-only (message received when trying to save the doc) even if enable editing is selected. The
following message appears when you try to save the document:
This message can appear if you have been editing a file that was opened as read-only. A file opened as read-only will have (Read-Only) appended to the file name as it appears in the title bar of Word. You can still save the document, but you must
save it by using a different file name. If you use Windows Explorer to change the read-only properties of the file, while the file is open in Word, it will not enable Word to save the file. Word must open a non-read-only version of the file in order to save
it by using its original file name. If you have not made any changes to the file, you can close it, and then use the following steps to make the file writeable. 1. Click the File tab, and then click Open. 2. Browse to the file and right-click it. 3. Click
Properties, and then clear the Read-Only check box. 4. Reopen the file. If you have made changes to a read-only file, you can save it, and then use the following steps to give the modified file the original file name. 1. Click the File tab, and then click
Save As. 2. Enter a different file name, and then click Save. 3. NOTE: Adding "Rev1", or "Mod1" to the original file name may help you to remember it later. 4. Click the File tab, and then click Close. 5. Open Windows Explorer. 6. Browse
to the original read-only file. 7. Rename the read-only file. 8. Browse to the new file. 9. Rename the new file to the name of the original file. Do not delete the read-only file until after you have determined you no longer need it.
Previously, when check-out was optional, a file was checked out automatically when someone opened it for editing, unless it was already checked out. The editing commands notified the User that the file is being/was checked out. The real issue is the
word doc can no longer be saved as the application still believes the doc is read-only.

Hi,
According to your description, you give the domain admin full control over files on the old file server, but you cannot move the files to the new file server. After pull the files from the old to the new file server, the domain admin can only read the files
on the new file server.
How did you move the files from the old file server to the new file server? Did you setup replication between the two file server or use robocopy?
Please check the files permissions on the new file server to see if the permissions are changed, then share the folder on the new file server to everyone to see the result.

Time Machine "read-only" error across multiple drives

Hello,
I've been having an ongoing problem for more than a year now. I continually get a "read-only" error message from Time Machine. To be specific, the message is: "Time Machine could not complete the backup. Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only. You may need to repair or reformat the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can’t be repaired, you must use a different disk for backups. Open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk."
The problem is, this has happened with three separate backup drives. They are all G-Tech 2TB 4th Generation G-Drive external hard drives. So I'm wondering if there may be a Mac OS software problem, or perhaps a hardware problem.
There's a lot to this story, so if you're game, read on.
First, about a year ago, I noticed that my Mac Pro frequently spontaneously ejected the backup drive, for no apparent reason. I didn't deal with the problem right away because I was having other, pressing troubles with my display (which took forever to solve).
In early-mid 2013, I tried a few disk repairs of my backup disk, as well as erasing the disk (and correctly formatting as Mac OS Extended Journaled). The disk was failing to mount at that point, so G-Tech sent me a replacement drive (a refurbished drive of exactly the same type).
With the replacement drive, I was getting the same "read-only" message. So I tried a few times erasing/reformatting/repartitioning this drive. No luck.
So I was sent yet another replacement drive. I experienced the same problems, and in addtion, I once got a message saying the backup drive was full when it actually wasn't. So I tried a) using a different firewire cable, b) using this different cable on a different port. Same problems.
In the meantime, I did some backups with an old Glyph drive, using the same FW800 port, and the same cable (the 2nd cable), and I had no problems. The reason I don't use this Glyph drive as my normal backup drive is that it is only 500 GB and not large enough to back up all three of my MP internal drives.
A couple other items of note: back in August of 2013, one of my MP's internal hard drives had to be replaced (it was determined to be having multiple input/output errors). Also, I've had a intermittent problem with the MP spontaneoulsy ejecting a couple different Lexar USB flash drives, even after I reformatted them repeatedly (but this has never happened with my ADATA flash drives). I suppose these things may be unrelated, but for the sake of completeness, I thought I'd include them.
So it seems like maybe it's a compatibility issue the G-Tech Drives? I'd be surprised...but I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Time Machine reported 'volume is read only' & rolled back to old state

I've been in love with Time Machine ever since Leopard arrived. This has all come crashing down over the last few days...
Firstly I got a new 1tb drive, so I mirrored my old TM drive (using SuperDuper), and all seemed to be fine – backups were chugging along for a week or so as normal on the new, bigger drive.
A few days ago I got a time machine error stating that "The backup volume is read only". I thought this was strange as the drive was working without issue for a week. I checked permissions, format, etc and all were set correctly. I restarted and Time Machine kicked back in and all seemed to work fine other the fact that there seemed to be no backups created for 6 hours before I got the error message. Then I made a scary realisation, somehow the files on my computer had been restored to a state from 6 hours prior, all the work I'd done for the morning was gone.
I put this down to a one off glitch (stupid, stupid, stupid). I've today got the same "backup volume is read only" message again, and this time around my files have been restored to a state from 3 days ago. Fortunately this time around Time Machine has a backup of the important stuff a few hours ago.
I am now very worried about using the same disk with Time Machine. I also have no idea if Time Machine is the culprit (but logic tells me with the rolling back of files it must be). What should I do? How can I figure out what is going on?

This may fix the "read only" problem:
What to do if Time Machine reports you don't have permission
This was posted in the Apple Discussions by V.K. I have only modified it slightly to be more generic.
The problem seems to be that 10.5.6 changes permissions on a file so that even the root user doesn't have write peivileges. I have no idea why they did this. The workaround suggested in [an]other post will probably work, too, but i did something less drastic. Instead of deleting the file I changed permissions on it, and it worked just fine. An added benefit is that the permission change seems to stick, so you don't have to delete the file every time you change a drive.
[Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt [enter] the following command:
sudo chmod 644 /volumes/"TM drive name"/.xxxxxxxxxxxx
The name of the file .xxxxxxxxxxxx is based on the MAC address of your computer and will be different for every computer. Put the name of the TM drive in the above and keep the quotes.
You'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see) which is normal.
This was edited by Kappy just for cleanup.
Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Read only user in weblogic throwing error messages in logs

Hi,
We have a requirement to create a read only user with monitor access.
our requirement is to monitor em console using moniotr user, i.e. this user will login to em console, monitor order flow from instances tab by entering order no. and dates, and logout from em console.
we have done below steps to create monitor user,
Admin Console->Security Realms >myrealm >Users and Groups-> new
created user Monitor_User_1 and assigned group as Monitors.
but whenever this user logs in or searches we are getting below error message:
<Sep 15, 2013 7:25:21 PM EST> <Warning> <oracle.jps.admin> <BEA-000000> <Access denied. Required roles: Operator, Admin, executing subject: principals=[Monitor_User_1, Monitors]
java.lang.SecurityException: Access denied. Required roles: Operator, Admin, executing subject: principals=[Monitor_User_1, Monitors]
we even did below steps:
With admin access login into EM Console. Select soa_infra, right click mouse -> Security -> Application Roles. On right side, click green arrow and see list of Roles shown. Select the role named SOAMonitors, click on this. And add a Monitor_User_1 to this.
but we are still getting same error.
Kindly let us know if we are missing something while creating monitor user and how to get rid of these messages.
Please note that we are already in Production and our log files are filled with these messages.

Acrobat read-only error message

http://forums.adobe.com/message/4117896
Hello I am following on from a previously reported issue.
We have a client who are using Adobe Acrobat 9 and have .PDF's saved in a Share Folder. Is the creator of the document but is still faced with the read only prompt when trying to save the document after making an edit (e.g rotating). Upgrading to Adobe Acrobat 9 isn't an option.
Folder permissions in both Share and NTFS is okay.
User's profile has full control of the folder it is being saved in. I've also ensured the reading pane is Windows Explorer is off when they're opening it.
Have run a repair on Adobe Acrobat 9 and tried with other documents with the same result.
Saving locally does not have the same issue.
Please advise a solution for using .PDF for Adobe Acrobat 9 in a Share Folder environment.
Server is SBS2008 and user's PC is Windows 7 Professional.
Eagerly await a fix.

I am having the same issue. Acrobat X was working fine for me for months, then out of the blue, it starts having this problem TODAY! (There must be something about the month of November when people have this problem with Acrobat! )
Each time I open a PDF file in Acrobat and make an edit, (such as highlighting text or adding a link to a web page), I cannot save the file by the same name. I get the "read only" error message:
"The document could not be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
I installed the latest updates for Acrobat after this problem occurred, but the "read only" error message persists. In a previous thread, one person suggested turning off Acrobat's Protected Mode by going to Edit/Preferences/General and unchecking the Enable Protected Mode At Startup. I do not see this option in Acrobat X.
The only work-around I've found is to save the PDF file with a temporary name, then after making the edits in Acrobat, save the file as the original name that you wanted the file to be in the first place.
I'd rather not have to mess with work-arounds. I just want to make this problem go away. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
regards,

Saving issues: "The file may be read-only" error message

I do a lot of scanning to pdf and will often have to add a newly scanned page to an existing archived pdf then resave it.
I have a very consistent workflow and use two screens. The folders that contain the archived files are always on my second screen while I work on the main screen.
After I have inserted the newly scanned page into the existing pdf very often I get an error message that the file cannot be saved:
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
I am the only user, none of files are read-only, and I am certain that the file I am resaving is not selected (I can see that on my second screen).
Sometimes if I just click on the second screen to another folder it'll let me resave, but other times I have to close Windows Explorer completely.
I like to avoid renaming files: it's important to that the original filename be retained.
This seems to be happening a lot more with Acrobat X Pro than it did with version 9. This is highly annoying.
Any known workarounds?
dg

The folders that contain the archived files are always on my second screen
If in Windows (a Mac user would have to speak to this for that environment) -
If Windows Explorer is "focused" on the file (i.e., file selected) or has "focus" on the file(s) parent folder/directory you will get the alert dialog.
Close Windows Explorer or place its focus elsewere.
Also, if the preview feature is used for files within a folder (or for files in nested sub-folder) you'll experience similar "speed humps" in the work flow path.
Was not always this way but OS updates (XP, Vista, etc.) appear to have given us some nifty new options that, coincidentally, pose some gotchas.
Be well...

Read only error message when trying to save updates in Acrobat 10.6.3

Hello
Hopefully I'm missing something obvious here but when I try to edit a PDF in Acrobat 10.6.3 I receive a read only error message, I have been using 'Save As' and tweaking the name each time but this seems to be a clumsy way to go about a simple save.
I am on a network and have read a previous thread that explained Adobe can sometimes be flakey on networks for saving PDFs.
Any suggestion gratefully received.

You may be stuck with copying the files locally and editing and then copying back to the network drive. I am not good with networks, but have noticed posts about network problems over the years -- often focused on specific networks. The solution is typically to deal with the PDFs locally and then copy to the network. In creating PDFs, it seems that some of the results had to do with the TMP folder usage, but I have no clue why.
As far as AA 10.6.3, you must have a cloud version or something. The latest AA is 10.1.7.

After downloading Maverick I cannot save or email scans from my HP L7780. I receive error message "An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only. "
