Ref. Orig. can't be moved to sys. trash: locked or read-only. Fix?

Another new one (amazing what one uncovers under deadline ). See screen shot:
Some of these files are from a Leaf Aptus 70 (they were part of the Ap3 Tutorial) and are very large. Large or small, I like to run a clean ship. Can I search in Finder (or Terminal) for locked or read-only files? They are all on one external drive. There are other ways to root them out, but I don't have the time right now.
Thanks.
--Kirby.
(Added:)
Can I do this to my entire referenced originals drive without _any_ repercussions?
You can unlock all files in a folder by opening the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and entering the following:
chflags -R nouchg
followed by a space. Drag the folder into the Terminal window and press Enter to unlock the items.

I'm not being clever today. Found a different, easy, solution. Right-clicked one of each set of Images and selected "Show in Finder". This brought up the Finder folder containing all the Images with that date. Then emptied the Aperture Trash. At warning, clicked "Continue". Went back to the Finder windows and ... found out the joke is on me: all the files in question were moved to the system trash. I have no idea what files were flagged "Read Only" or "Locked".
At some point I will "Consolidate all Originals" or relocate them to a different drive and examine the files left on the referenced Originals drive. Not sure what I'll find. All the Aptus files ( .mos) and all the other "not mine" Originals that I was trying to remove from the Library are now in my system trash.
Thanks for the help (and the caution) though -- I'm ignorant of Unix and like to think that I'm wise enough to not use it or, at a minimum, to ask experts for an "OK" first .

HT1751 I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays The item "iTunes" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted.

I copied my iTunes folder to an external HD and now I cannot delete it. When I try to move it to the trash it displays: The item “iTunes” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.

Close iTunes. Click the icon to start it, then press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the iTunes folder on your external drive. That should bring back all your playlists, ratings, play counts etc. You may have to settle for removing and reloading the media onto the device again. That's not too bad, but what you don't want to have happen is your apps being removed and reloaded as then you can lose settings and data. If that looks likely backup and then restore the device rather than sync it.
If for some reason rebuilding the library the way you did has moved files around then the restored library may have trouble finding things. If so post back and I'll explain what to do...

How can I uninstall Kaspersky? The item "Kaspersky Anti-Virus.app" can't be moved to the Trash because it's open.' I did not open it in fact. Please advise. Thanks.

How can I uninstall Kaspersky to install Mckeeper ?
The item 'Kaspersky Anti-Virus.app' can't be moved to the Trash because it is opened'. Actually I did not open it.
Please advise, thanks.

Remove "Kaspersky Security" by following the instructions on this page. If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different. The product includes a Safari extension that may not be removed by the uninstaller.
Back up all data before making any changes.

Does anyone know what The item "F0448200" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted, mean?

Does any one know what this means? The item “F0448200” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted. It popped up on my desktop and I do not know what it is or how to delete it.

When you do Get Info on that file what application does it show that file to be associated with?

The item "safari.jsp.download" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't

I understand there is no way around the poor server quality issue, but I have received the following error when I visited a site and gotten an automatic download:
The item “safari.jsp.download” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.
Is there a way around this. I hate the fact the icon is staying on my desktop. I can't move it to a folder, Applications, or the trash. Any thoughts?

Hi,
You need to quit Safari either from the Safari menu bar, Safari / Empty Cache or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
Move the file to the Trash. Now empty the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.
More insight to the .jsp file here.

Can no longer select text in email template or read only field with mouse using IE or Firefox?

Hi Guys,
I can no longer select text in email template or read only field using my mouse in IE or Firefox anymore. We are using CRM 2011 rollup 18 applied with IE 11 and the latest version of Firefox. We only applied roll up 18 in Feb when this issue began.
Thanks

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
Any change?

Can I bring up siebel services while DB in read only / Standby Mode

Hi,
I am trying to bring up the siebel services while DB is in read only mode..
Can I bring up siebel services while DB in read only / Standby Mode ???

Hi ,
Not sure. But I think you can, since bringing up the siebel service require some query from DB and some readings from the gateway.

"mail can't be moved to the trash"

I used the mail app on iPad to keep up with my correspondence while out of town. Two things; I can't designate spam as spam, and certain emails received cannot be moved to the trash because they apparently come from a mailbox not on my pad.

Delete your mail account/s and re-add them.
This is what worked for me but I've read about other solutions that have worked for some people as well:

Can I make header text on a billing document read only?

We currently have a system where billing document header and line texts are created from the sales order. Subsequent changes to the sales order texts do not alter the invoice texts. (this is how we want it) The business now want to lock down the texts on the invoice for audit reasons. Is there a way that we can make the texts read only in VF02? (meaning that if they want to change the notes they need to cancel the invoice change the notes on the sales order then and then rebill)

Take a help from ABAPer in the User Exit that if user try to edit the text in VF02 > Header / Item ,it would throw an error.

After moving iTunes, external drive sometimes becomes read-only after reboot

I had some system corruption a few weeks ago, and had to restore my system. As part of that prolonged effort, I decided to move my iPhoto Library and iTunes Library to external FW800 drives.
I had terrible problems initially with these drives mounting read-only. I found a relatively quick work-around, and that seemed to fix the problem. But I still have them periodically mount read-only, and I can't D/L iTunes updates, etc.
Why do they keep doing this on a reboot? Very frustrating, as I need to reboot as part of the fix, and I'm always in the middle of something else, and can't reboot at that time.

Oh, as part of this, not sure when the change was made, OSX used to keep the mounted volume name in /Volumes, even if the volume was ejected. Would cause an occasional problem - but very rare. I notice now that ML seems to create/delete these mountpoints automagically - and that's part of the problem. They get incorrect permissions when the volume mounts, and I (user I'm logged in as), can't write to the volume without some background shenanigans.
My process is this:
Unmount problem volume
Drop to terminal, and "sudo mkdir /Volumes/<mounted_volume_name>"
Remount volume via Disk Utility (you now get a "<mounted_volume_name> 1" - with CORRECT permissions)
Unmount the volume again
Remove the created directory (i.e. undo step 2)
Remount the volume - 99.9% of the time that seems to fix it.
Reboot to be sure - and it stays for a while - then at some point becomes a problem again.
Not sure if it's something in ML that's an issue - or something in iTunes or iPhoto (but can't see how they would affect the permissions when the system reboots and you login)

Can You Burn an Disc with JPEGs That is Read Only

Is it possible to burn a disc through the finder that will have only JPEGs and have it be read only so no one can copy the images to another computer? Just see them, not copy.

No.
Screen capture utilities exist that circumvent that protection. Better to embed a watermark if you are worried about copying.

User can't update time in Task grid; it's read-only

Project Server 2010.<o:p></o:p>
This started a couple of weeks ago for two different users. They suddenly were unable to update hours in the My Work/Tasks grid. They can still see the Planned hours per day, but can't enter
a value in the Actual field. The can also select a task and use the "Mark Complete" option.<o:p></o:p>
For one user, this happens for all dates prior to a certain date for all projects; for the other user, it's for all dates after a certain date but only some projects. I'm not aware of any changes
to these users' profiles in the past few weeks. All others are not
experiencing
this at all.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this?<o:p></o:p>

I've determined this impacts every user if 7/20 is NOT the first date of the period shown on the Tasks page. If 7/20 falls anywhere in the middle of the display, 7/20 and every date following for that time period, is read-only. If 7/20 is the
first date in the displayed period, or if it is not included in the period at all, everything is OK.
While trying to find a cause/solution to this, I also happen to notice that under Server Settings, Time Reporting Periods, the last defined period ends on 7/19. Given the relationship to this date and the date that causes the problem above, it seems
it can't be a coincidence. However, we don't use timesheets, so my understanding is that Time Reporting Periods won't impact anything. Also, it wouldn't explain why you can move a period past 7/20 and everything is OK.

Can I change some partitions of the partitioned table read-only?

I have a table partitioned by range( partitioned hourly).
I want to keep the history data online for query (the history data is rarely accessd). But in this way the table is too large. The performance may be a big problem. So some problems may be raised:
How can I change the aged partition read-only?
How to decrease the workload on this table and improve the performance?
Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3)+Solaris 10

How can I change the aged partition read-only?In 10.2.x.x I think only tablespaces can be made read only.
In 11g you can place tables in read only mode, but I don't know about specific partitions.
