Strange permission settings that are unchangeable

Hi guys. I have been searching for hours to try and find this answer, but I have been unable to - hence my post.
After doing a Leopard upgrade many months ago I had transfered about 300gb of files over to my external drive. I went to start using them today only to find that anytime I try to move anything I keep having to authenticate. Clearly an ownership/permission issue. I have been able to fix most the problems with the following line in terminal:
sudo chown -R MYNAME:staff "/Volumes/MYVOLUME"
However I still have a lot of folders that are not changing no matter what I do. Many of my folders have a permission setting of "drwxr-xr-x+". Note that it has a + sign on the end. I can't work out what these are or how to fix them. I've tried everything.
Is there a line of code that I can use which will overwrite these **** folders once and for all and just set their permissions to the way they should be?
I just need them to have the same persmissions that they would by default if I were to create a new folder in the finder.
Any help is appreciated.

No that option for the drive isn't there. I've never seen it on any of my macs. I also checked the drive in disk utilities info window and there is no mention of a "can turn owners off" option.
I'm at a loss to explain that. To make sure you are doing it right:
You select the partition (not the top drive) in DU and press the info button in the DU tool bar. A window should pop up with a long list of attributes of the drive. One line should be
Can turn owners off: Yes (or No)
It sounds like we are looking at very different options. I'm on a MacBookPro Core 2 Duo. Not sure if that makes a difference.
No difference whatsoever.

Is there a way to create a project with custom audio settings that are NOT only "Stereo" or "Surround"?

the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally. you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

Today's update has helped...here are settings that are working for me...

So, whatever Apple released today seems to have solved some problems. Finally, my new 80211n base stations are working well -- great speed, two base stations, extending the network, USB printer connected to satellite station, all A-Ok so far. After much experimentation, here are settings that are working for me:
Radio mode: 80211n (80211a compatible)
Security: WEP
IPV6 off
Choosing 80211n/a compatible makes WEP security an option, and with WEP, speed is good. WPA still slows things down too much for me.
Good luck to all.

I've had no problems with WPA. I set my network to "g only" using the alt-key when selecting network type. I turned off NAT, I think that's helped a lot. I've had headache after headache, restarting a few times a day--I had a stable wireless setup with two Expresses for months... I'm hoping this update is going to solve some of those "Where did the Expresses go?" mysteries (restart and they're there again...) Haven't lost iTunes for a few days now, that's a bright spot. I had given up initially on using my external HD for a wireless iTunes repository, with the exception of needing to restart when I wake up or when I come home, iTunes has been trouble free: albums quit cutting out after a few tweaks, and movies and TV shows play straight through now: no further "fade-out-so-iTunes-can-inform-me-it-can't-save-library-do-you-want-me-not-to-r emind-you-again"
I think the major early element that contributed to iTunes stability was to choose a channel. Then g-only, since I have no n-capable elements, then turning off NAT, which I gather is "newish."
Like I say, I have high hopes for this update.

Process scheduler picking up trace settings that are not currently on

I'm running a custom application engine program. I tested the program in the same instance last week with a full trace turned on. The trace was turned on under processes. I've since refreshed the database and dumped the process scheduler cache (Unix process scheduler). After the refresh, I turned off the process trace. I ran a quick test of the program to see what the trace settings are. To my disappointment the full trace is still showing at the end of my parameters list in the process monitor. I've tried forcing a trace -0, the parameters will not change. It's very, very strange. Unforuntately, I have to process a lot of data using this application engine program using CI. Is there any other area in Peoplesoft that I might be forgetting that an application engine trace can be turned on?

How have you refreshed the database ? How did you re-apply your customization after refresh ? How is defined the prcs ? Did you change the prcs configuration file to set the trace off ? Did you checked the process definition ?

Error : No items that are to be picked were found

HI ,
when ever I do the picking, I am getting message ' No items that are to be pciked were found". I checked the warehouse, plant and storage location ..every thing is assigned ...but still the problem remains...any thoughts
thanks

hi
check the ware house number and plant while doing lt03
check the shipping point
Kindly check the delivery for the relevant for WM picking.
also check the settings that are relevant here. The first is the item category of the delivery . The item category has to be set to relevant for
picking. Logistics execution - shipping - picking - relevant for picking.
The other setting is the general WM relevance, the check that the plant
and the storage location is assigned to a warehouse number.

Today my daughter could download 2 aps on her phone without my permission. We are part of family share and her settings show that she needs my permission to download anything.

Today my daughter could download 2 apps on her phone without my permission. We are part of family share and her settings show that she needs my permission to download everything. How could she download the apps if I did not giver her permission. I thought that was the point of family sharing in the cloud.

Yes, Family sharing is almost not useable this way. Once you activate it you won't be able to load some of the best/essential apps even though they are free. But they are blocked by the Patriarch of the Family. :-(...
I do not understand why this issue does not get bigger Attention? Does noone use familiy sharing yet? Or do they activate it right after they have loaded all those essential apps beforehand?

My phone was recently updated to 8.1. After the update, when text messages are sent when my phone is turned off, they no longer appear when I turn the phone on. Is there something in Settings that needs to be changed?

MetsFanGirl,
Thanks for verifying. Are you having issues receiving both iMessages and standard text messages when they are sent when the phone is turned off? Try this and test... http://vz.to/1qjiOs7

What are the recommended settings for multiple iPhones and iPads in the same family? I don't want my family members contacts in mine...or them receiving texts that are intended just for me. Help!

I don't want my wife's or children's contact information in my contacts during syncing...or them receiving texts that are intended or me. Can someone please tell me how they handle multiple family members settings in regard to emails, iCloud, and iTunes? Does each phone have a separate computer login, iTunes account or iCloud accounts? Help!

Yes, set them up with their own Apple IDs:
http://appleid.apple.com
An Apple ID may have been entered in the following places:
Settings > iCloud > Account
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
Settings > FaceTime
Settings > iTunes & App Stores

On restoring it tells : unable to restore as this has files that are in use by another application. I have no idea what to do now. Pl advise. Thanks

Try disabling any and all A/V or security software you are running on your system and see if that helps.

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

Domain Controllers that are DNS servers DNS Client settings

[Copying verbatim from a mail by Joe ]
So I have been pinged by a few folks recently on configuration of client DNS settings on Domain Controllers that are also functioning as DNS Servers. Lots of debate. I understand there has been long time debate within MSFT as well.
From http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/07/17/friday-mail-sack-saturday-edition.aspx there
is the quote
"3.When referencing a DNS server on itself, a DNS client should always use a loopback address and not a real IP address."
From http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=9166 (Windows
Server 2008 R2 Core Network Guide)
"9. In Preferred DNS server, type the IP address of your DNS server. If you plan to use the local computer as the preferred DNS server, type the IP address of the
local computer.
10. In Alternate DNS Server, type the IP address of your alternate DNS server, if any. If you plan to use the local computer as an alternate DNS server, type the IP address of
the local computer."
From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd378900(v=ws.10).aspx (DNS:
DNS servers on <adapter name> should include their own IP addresses on their interface lists of DNS servers)
"The inclusion of its own IP address in the list of DNS servers improves performance and increases availability of DNS servers. However, if the DNS server is also a domain controller and it points only to
itself for name resolution, it can become an island and fail to replicate with other domain controllers. For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller. The loopback address should
be configured only as a secondary or tertiary DNS server on a domain controller...
Add the loopback IP address to the list of DNS servers on all active interfaces. The loopback IP address should not be the first server in the list."
ESPECIALLY "For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller. The loopback address should be configured only as a secondary or tertiary
DNS server on a domain controller." and "Add the loopback IP address to the list of DNS servers on all active interfaces. The loopback IP address should not be the first server in the list."
Why shouldn't loopback not be first, the justification is why you shouldn't only use loopback, not why it shouldn't be first.
From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff807362(v=ws.10).aspx (DNS:
DNS servers on <adapter name> should include the loopback address, but not as the first entry)
"If the loopback IP address is the first entry in the list of DNS servers, Active Directory might be unable to find its replication partners.
The inclusion of its own IP address in the list of DNS servers improves performance and increases availability of DNS servers. However, if the DNS server is also a domain controller and it points only to itself,
or points to itself first for name resolution, this can cause a delay during startup. For this reason, use caution when configuring the loopback address on an adapter if the server is also a domain controller. The loopback address should be configured only
as a secondary or tertiary DNS server on a domain controller."
This also seems like justification against only using loopback versus using it first.
Are there any actual real documented issues for using loopback first and a remote DNS server second and perhaps third? If the local DNS server service isn't working yet (or at all), I would expect the DNS Client process
to try to connect to it, fail, and then failover to the secondary just like I would expect it to failover if the remote DNS server was secondary and it was unavailable and it failed back to the loopback. Am I making a bad assumption?
And by documented I don't mean random responses to questions on the internet or other such items. I mean a KB article or technet article or properly researched and tested other web article from a reliable resource.
thanks,
joe

As I understand it, the scenario whereby a DC could become an 'island' if it points only to itself, or to itself first, was repaired in the Windows Server 2003 product cycle. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275278 for information about this scenario.
However, there is still a known problem of slow boot times that can occur. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2001093 for information about this. The scenario that is discussed assumes there is a power failure and servers shut down due to overheating while on backup power. When
multiple servers come online simultaneously after power is restored, there can be a significant delay.
The recommended configuration is one that avoids a single point of failure, but also tries to optimize the speed of resource record registration, so that Active Directory can properly synchronize.

My iPOD appears in My Computer in drive H as a mass storage generick volume

Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

My zagg key board connects but the keys I type either don't type character, type 2 characters that are different when I hit only 1 key, or doesn't type at all. Is there a way to reset zagg keyboard to factory settings?

Recharging is a good thing to try. They do start to act odd when the battery gets low. Beyond that, just like Tom says, contact Zagg. I have one of their keyboards and the company has wonderful customer service.

Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.

The Apple drivers that are downloaded for my HP printers do not allow me to modify the settings as I could when I was running a pc.

The Apple drivers that are downloaded for my HP printers do not allow me to modify the settings as I could when I was running a pc. Is there someway to get a printer driver that will permit full access to printer settings?

Perhaps you don't have the correct driver selected.
Try to Add it again, but instead of Auto-Select, choose Select Printer Software, then make sure you have the correct printer selected.
If the driver you have says "Gutenprint" then that isn't the HP driver and might not have all the features.
If you have the correct driver, the only thing you can do is contact HP and ask them to add the features.
