Sharing and permission issue of folders thru different accounts

Hello,
After installing Lightroom 5 I've lost permission to write on some sub-folders located on an external drive.
On the screen shot (attached) the main user called "Alfredo1" is not my user account name and as far as I know is not a reall user on my machine.

Is this happening on the original boot drive or on a secondary drive? If the latter, do a 'Get Info' on the drive and click the checkbox for 'Ignore ownership on this volume.' If it's the boot drive, fire up Disk Utility and run the Repair Permissions until it comes up clean. This would not be expected to affect permissions on data files directly, but might allow you to click on the lock so that you can authenticate and change the permissions manually. Possibly you will need to Repair Disk with either DU or Disk Warrior. In any event the lock should never be non-clickable for the original admin user.
If it's a shared volume, check with the server admin or the owner of the hosting computer, ask them to propagate permissions downward.

    To restore the classic menu bar, you can do any of these:
    orange Firefox button > Options > Menu Bar
    tap the Alt key > View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
    right-click a blank area of the tab bar or navigation bar > Menu Bar

  • Second user account cannot load music to iTunes. I've confirmed permission for Itunes folders on ALL accounts and this still does not work!  Any other suggestions?

    I'm opened every iTunes Media folder found on this Mac to Everyone for R&W access and still get this message of 'you don't have write access for you iTunes Media folder......'  This is extremely frustrating!

  • Sharing music on the same pc with different accounts

    I am sharing music and movies on the same pc but managing it with different accounts.  Recently, when I add new content in the public folde, it only shows up in the one account that I adde it to and not the other accounts.

    If you want all users to be able to access the same music, but with different libraries, NikkiG's advice is spot on. However, I thought I'd throw in my 2¢ since I just set this up for a friend.
    If you want all your users to have exactly the same library, and not just access to a shared library, do the following:
    -move the entire "iTunes" folder (~/Music/iTunes) into the Shared folder or to separate drive.
    -in each user's account, remove the iTunes folders (or just move them to a new location until you're positive this method works for you)
    -pop open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and here's where it gets a little dicey; type the following into the command line:
    ln -s /Users/Shared/iTunes/ ~/Music/iTunes/
    What this does is create a symbolic link (think alias, but more technical and powerful) between the iTunes folder in the Shared folder, and each user's iTunes folder. This way, each user is directly accessing the iTunes library, and not just through the shared area in iTunes itself. This allows them to add/remove music and playlists to the same library.
    HOWEVER, this method will mess up if you have multiple users logged in and using iTunes at the same time.

  • Can My Dad and I Swap iPhones between two different accounts???

    Last week I purchased an iPhone 3g. Now I find out the 3gs is available. My dad saw my 3g and is going to purchase one when he switches from Verizon in August.
    I want the 3gs.
    He wants the 3g.
    Here is what we want to do. He wants to purchase the 3gs and swap it with my 3g. Is this possible? If so, what do I need to do? These are two different accounts - its not a family plan.
    Thanks!
    Message was edited by: Hardsheller

    Thanks, I did just that. They said since I'm a premier customer that I had a 30 day buyers remorse policy and they allowed me to upgrade for the difference I paid for the 3G (16GB) and the 3G S (32 GB)!

  • How can I share between 2 different accounts.  we have a clinic that serves pediatics and unfortunately, they set up two different accounts within our agency.

    How can we share between two different accounts on the same iPad?  We have a therapy clinic with 2 devices and want to share apps. I did not set up the second one, but how can we fix this ?

         Hi Rosdy, to get the most out of iCloud it is recommended that you use the same account between devices. Thus whenever you buy something on your phone it becomes accessible from your laptop regardless of whether your synced it over usb or not. *
         For more information on iCloud usage please click here.
    * This feature requires that both devices be on the same WiFi network.

    Hello Bluemax22
    If you are getting prompts to authorized moves, you could have issues with permissions to those items and folders. Check out the article below to troubleshooting further.

  • Final Cut Pro X sharing and exporting issues?

    Hey!
    Okay so I made a Wedding video for my cousins wedding a couple of days ago. I want to share it to Facebook. I do everything correctly then it says " Preparing media for share.... " and it's loading. Then it just stops doing that and goes back to normal like I never shared it to Facebook. I checked my facebook and nothing was there. It's a 12 minute long video, so then I try YouTube. Same thing. The password and emails went through for both of them, and I also tried the lowest quality. Still the same thing! So now i'm looking for the export to just save it as a quicktime movie. I can't find it! I watched tutorials but it says I have to export from the share button above. It's not there, it's only there under file and only has the options for facebook, vimeo, youtube, apple devices etc etc.
    Can someone please help me? Thank you

    Watch Macbreak Studio Episode 194 and or Episode 203 where they show how to setup sharing presets.

  • Sharing and Authorization Issues - Re-Post

    I posted this and it was viewed but not responded to. Does anyone have any ideas?
    My spouse and I share music that we purchase, but with the use of iTunes, it has been very difficult. Unfortunately, I started using my own ID over a year ago and my spouse started using his own ID over the past 2 months. I say "unfortunately" because it has been extremely difficult merging the ID's and keeping all of the songs in one place on one computer and having them all recognized as music that we have already paid for. We are having all sorts of technical problems within iTunes associated with this issue. We have 2 laptops and 1 desktop. I also changed my ID about 6 months ago.
    Here's a summary of the technical issues:
    1.) When we try to keep all of the songs on the desktop and sync up our iPods to that computer, some of the songs that I purchased over the last year are not loading into the iPods and are not recognized in the database on that computer.
    2.) When my spouse does find those songs on my computer (via network) to play on his laptop, iTunes goes to check if the song is authorized to play on his computer. When he uses my old ID and password, it does not accept it and presents him with my new ID. These songs were purchased with my old ID. Whatever he puts in, the new ID and password or old ID and password, it does not accept it. Uggh!
    Anyone have any ideas? Does anyone have a procedure for doing this correctly?

    If it was viewed but not replied to, all that means is, whoever looked at it probably didn't know the answer.

    Is this for office 365 or a local, on-premises SharePoint server?
    Have you checked the server logs or the ULS logs?

  • HT4352 Will homesharing share the content of different iTunes accounts within the home? ie wife has account and purchased songs. I have different account and want to listen to them on my Apple TV.

    Have 3 family members with three accounts. Homesharing is supposed to be set up all computers with the same (one) account. Then, will the content ONLY of the set account be shared? or will ALL content of those who sync with those computers be shared?

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"

  • Adobe Bridge permission issues when working with network account

    We have some users using Adobe Bridge CS3, CS4 and CS5.
    They are using Bridge to browse arround the file server.
    I have ACL's so the users can have full access using the Finder, deleting, making folders etc.
    Users are logged in to their AD account with their home folder synced to a Mac OS X server 10.6.4.
    Unless they are Posix owner of a folder they can't make changes or nothing using Bridge.
    If they log in to a local account on a Mac and then manually connect to a share on the same server all is fine with Bridge. They can make folders, delete files etc etc.
    Any ideas?
    I know Adobe made it easy for themselfs years ago by simply stating it is not supported to work on a server using any Adobe app.

    As you said Adobe washed their hands of the matter and as any business customer is almost certainly going to use a server, and as Adobe products are so expensive pretty much only business customers can afford them, this is totally inexcusable.
    I had a similar network login related problem with Acrobat Pro in version 7.0 which after +two years+ (no exaggeration) was eventually fixed in Acrobat Pro 8.1. Unfortunately it was then broken again in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Based on my experiences with Acrobat Pro and due to a totally different reason (nothing to to do with using Adobe SW) I found that when I switched from using AFP for network home directories to instead using NFS, my problems with Adobe software and network login accounts went away.
    So, it might be worth your thinking about switching to using NFS for home directories as a workaround.
    Adobe have become even worse than Microsoft for their software. They use a variety of sucky installers instead of Apple's free Installer (Microsoft have switched to using Apple's Installer), they use product activation, they are even worse than MS Office at working with servers. The only redeeming fact Adobe has is that their Mac and Windows products are mostly equivalent unlike Microsoft who still cripple their Mac software.

  • How to REMOVE AND DELETE saved customizations applied to different accounts

    Hi Experts
    I have created and saved a customization called *'Hidden Graph'* through the front end (under page options)
    I saved this customization against different application roles (BI Consumer / BI Author)
    Now I No longer need to apply customiaztiion *'Hidden Graph'*
    Can someone tell me where these customizations are saved so I can REMOVE AND DELETE it ?
    Thanks

    To find the location and deleting from catalog, try to use catalog manager and use search xml for text 'Hidden Graph'
    You can find them in sub folders of _selections folder in catalog
    ex:
    \users\weblogic\_selections
    Just in case if you want to delete then you can do finding files like
    Hidden+Graph
    Hidden+Graph.atr
    Nowhere mentioned deleting other than clearing check this doc once
