Sudden problem with permissions

Hello
Was working on an Indesign file this morning and when I came to open it again this afternoon I got this message...
"Cannot open the document...
You may not have permission or the document may be open already"
I have no idea why this has happened, I've not changed anything in the system preferences to do with permissions and the document is definitely not already open.
I've tried quiting and restarting InDesign but that didn't fix anything.
Can anyone help? I really need to open this file again!!!

Hi John
Started Mac up this morning and the InDesign file opened without any problems. Think it may have been due to network issues, as during the time I was working on the file the IT dept had set up access to a network folder on my Mac, so this is probably the most logical explanation. I've not accessed the network folder this morning and the InDesign file has been ok.
Thanks!

Sudden problem with iTunes quitting - problem and solution

This is a fairly lengthy diatribe but it was driving me nuts and so hopefully will help someone else:
The Problem:
I have an XPS M1710 running Windows Vista. A couple of days ago all Apple programs started to malfunction, specifically iTunes, QuickTime. When I try to start iTunes it quits immediately and I get the message “A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available”. The same thing happens with Quicktime. When I go to Internet Explorer this works fine until I go to the Apple website and try to Download iTunes (to reinstall) or even to go to the Apple Support page, Then the Apple site seems to “force” IE to quit. The same thing happens when I use the Apple Safari Browser (works generally but quits on Apple iTunes or support site). I am not sure if it is relevant but we bought some iTunes songs online in the last couple of days using another laptop. That machine is still working fine as are two other laptops in the house re iTunes (they are Windows XP Dells, my machine is Windows Vista). I received an email receipt on my XPS for the purchases in the usual fashion. I can open it, but when I click the links to the iTunes site it doesn’t work (does work using other computers).
I have performed 2 system restores (to 2 and 4 weeks ago – long before the current problem) but this did not help. I have uninstalled iTunes – but even so still could not directly download the iTunes setup.exe from Apple. I did eventually get it from a third party link. Using the downloaded file I reinstalled iTunes but exactly the same problems persist. On one occasion I let the “A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available” dialogue box sit for a while – the system identified some Apple updates needed which I downloaded and installed (in fact I had done these probably a week or so ago anyway but the system restore would have reverted that). This still did not fix the problem.
Today I phoned XPS support. I was initially told to leave my number and someone would call me back. 2 hours later no-one had so I phoned again and got someone who suggested doing a full scan disk (ie by getting into diagnostics at startup by pressing F12). I did this – no problems found. The person had also suggested trying to access iTunes using a different logon account. I switch on “guest” account and tried from there but the same problem persisted.
I have checked Windows Defender and Windows Firewall and as far as I can see iTunes is allowed to access the internet. No sign that it is deliberately blocked. As far as I can tell from the Windows updater the system is up to date (as it was when the problem first happened, and not fixed by rolling back many updates via the system restores).
I have run a full Virus check using Kaspersky (with latest updated database) and nothing was found.
So, no matter what I try, my computer is suddenly blocking everything to do with iTunes (and Quicktime), including Apple’s own support site. The failure of iTunes or QuickTime to launch happens whether or not I am connected to the Internet at the time. All other programs seem to be working.
I would be very appreciative if you could help. I have been unable to find any online solution, although one person may have had a similar problem, no resolution was evident.
The solution:
I have only just now solved the problem (two weeks down the track). The Dell technician that I spoke to over the phone tried hard but we could not get the issue solved completely, although the problem with accessing the iTunes website we did solve by turning off some internet explorer add-ons. As it turned out the problem was with QuickTime. The clue was that although I had attempted to uninstall iTunes + Quicktime many times the QuickTime component never disappeared. So when I reinstalled iTunes + QuickTime (which I did many times) the problem remained. After again uninstalling iTunes + QuickTime (by going to control panel, selecting iTunes and uninstall, then QuickTime and unintstall in the usual way, and realising that QuickTime did not uninstall properly, I then selected QuickTime and chose the "repair" option at the top of the control panel dialogue box instead of uninstall. After that I was then able to open QuickTime properly, and then when I reinstalled iTunes it worked! This had been driving me nuts, and I was on the verge of re-installing the operating system. Can I suggest that you enter this solution into your database for future reference.

I was wondering if you ever fixed this problem? Today I went to open itunes and it started installing it and said it couldn't access the file ja.lproj/ea0423.rtf which would be the Japanese language version. I just wanted to know if I should do what was suggested to you or if that didn't work.

Problem with permissions in Aperture 2.4.1. after installing mountain lion, did repair permissions but it stop at 3/4 of the repair cycle? Does anyone know what to do, my library is 94gigs!

I tried all solutions to get my library permissions corrected, but nothing worked. Is this a known problem with ugrading to mountain lion for Aperture 2.4.1.? Does anyone have a new solution to get my library working again?
Thanks for any help.

Problems with permissions in Acrobat 9.1

I´m having problems with the edition permissions in acrobat 9.1 pro extended.
I´m trying to stamp a FDF with corrects values into a PDF with security and changes allowed to fill in forms.
the problem is this:
I choose a permission password and a level of changes allowed.
Then save and close. And my aplication to stamp the FDF doesn´t work.
But, if I open again the PDF and MODIFY the "changes allowed" to any level of them, It seems to doesn´t matter any of them while I modify it. Then save and close again... and... Magic! the stamp works.
I´m looking for an reason for this all the day. But I don´t find any explanation. I suppose that acrobat would make some changes each time the rectrictions are modified... but I´m not sure.
Does anybody know why could be happening this or what does acrobat exactly?
Thanks a lot if someone can help me.
and sorry for my bad english ^^

Hello and thax for responding.
No, that was one of the first things we tried.
My helpful guy in the store went into Terminal and tried to figure out why all the files were tied to Administrator and needed Root password to move or delete.
Even the folder that he created via Terminal (he added a folder just to see what happended) got the + mark after it and was there by not able to move or add files into, without admin password.
I also used the 10.6 startup DVD to go in and try to reset the ACL for my internal SSD drive, but that did not seem to help either.
There is something about these files and disk that is not giving my Macbook permissions to change the info.
Can also maybe be good to know that before the disk crashed, I managed to use time maschine to back it up. I hooked up the disk to my computer, added another backup disk and backed up my Internal MacBook drive together with the (about to) crashing disk. Then I copied the info from this time machine disk on to the New Drive.
What I believe I need is to re-write the permissions on the disk so that not only admin are allowed to change the info but I have no idea how to do that.
Hope this gives you a little more of a clue what´s is going on and that you have an idea how to solve it.
Thanx

Problem with permissions when upgrading to Yosemite...

I have twice tried to upgrade to Yosemite with the same results each time. Once the installation completes and it goes through the final reboot to start the system, immediately upon start-up, it shows a dialogue box that says something along the lines of, "Yosemite needs to repair your Library." I do authorize it to do a repair, but it seems nothing actually happens.
Yet another problem is also immediately evident at startup, and that is that several of my folders are irrevocably locked..."I don't have permission." This includes folders in my User Library, a folder on my Desktop which is vital to my work, and the Downloads folder. If I try to go to the Get Info area to unlock it, in the Permissions area it says "Fetching", to see who has permissions, but it never stops Fetching. And if I click on the "+" to add a user permission, it hangs and necessitates a hard restart.
Also, when opening Safari, it can't find Safari's keychain or can't access it, and it asks me to reset to default settings.
I'm thinking this all has to do with a bug in the Permissions, but I don't know where the bug is or how to address it. I have gone back to Mavericks twice now, and I don't see any problems with the permissions on the Downloads file, for instance. Also, it seems entirely random as to which files are locked and which aren't, which adds to the confusion.
Any help would be appreciated.

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Sudden problem with Flash Player right now?

Hello,
we're currently got a problem with our Flash video player suddenly stopped working, just this evening. We havent touched it anything in a few days, and now suddenly our player does not start. The debug-version of the player outputs this:

This player have been working perfectly fine for multiple browsers/OS'es/people the last week,and now suddenly this evening we suddenly get this problem, without any changs from our end (our player checksum matches the known file).
Any ideas, what is going on here?

WS2012 Standard R2 with Essentials sudden problem with Server Manager, Essential Dashboard and other services

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Windows Server 2012 R2 with Essential installed. When I try to run Server Manager the server manager window doesn't appear and the same thing applies for starting the essentials dashboard. This leads to that some of the features doesn't
work properly like remote web access, client backup and so on. When I check the Services a lot of services haven't even started. Trying to manually start for example Windows Server Essentials Management Services gives me following error message:
"Windows could not start the Windows Server Essentials Management Services on Local Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start"
What can be wrong here? I haven't done anything to the server that could start these problems. This started all of a sudden.
Thank you all in advance for any help.
EDIT:
I rebooted my server in safe mode and I tried to run SFC /Scannow which stops at 84% and gives me following message:
"Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
I also tried to run "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth". This did not help either. It completes the operation but nothing changes. The problem is still there.
I thought that my server backups were OK and that this problem would be gone by restoring the C: drive with backup image. The problem is that all my good backups was rewritten with new backups that could not take backup of the C: drive for some reason. Now
I need to solve this problem without reinstalling the whole operating system.
EDIT:
I have also completed the chkdsk C: /r command and now the SFC /Scannow command can be completed, with notification that some files could not be fixed. I have attached the sfcdetail.txt file which points out that
"tsgclean.exe" cannot be repaired. What has that file to do with my WS2012 problems...
2015-01-04 03:12:54, Info CSI 00000477 [SR] Cannot repair member file [l:24{12}]"tsgclean.exe" of Microsoft-Windows-TSProxy-EdgeAdapter,

Hi,
Did you remember any operation which you had done before this issue occurred? For examples, install any update,
install any third-party application or any other? Just a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
For those problematic services, please open services’ Properties and navigate to
Dependencies tab, then check if all system components which this service depends on run as normal.
In addition, please open Event Viewer and check if find relevant events. Meanwhile, please follow the path:
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs and check Dashboard log file if find more clues.
By the way, when you run
sfc /scannow command completely, did you open Server Manager or Dashboard again? Any difference?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Hello Justin,
Regarding the third-party applications:
I have not installed any third-party application that could cause this problem. All my third-party applications that are installed on the WS2012 R2 are confirmed working well with the operative system and are installed at the time when I hadn't these problems.
I cannot say anything about windows update because that is something that I update once in a week after checking that no user is reporting any issues. I have learned my leason with windows update when I had Surface Pro 2, that was a dissaster.
Regarding the Windows Updates:
Anyway, I tried to remove all the windows updates before as well (not the security updates) down to 5th December which is the time when I know that my server worked well. Only two updates could not be removed (KB3012199 and KB2989647). I don't
know if these two updates can cause any problem?
Regarding the problematic services:
For example: Checking the properties for "Windows Server Essentials Management Service" -> It is dependable on
"1. Active Directory Domain Services" and "2. Windows Server Essentials Provider Registry Service".
No 1 is running but not no 2. If I try to start no 2 service it will give me the same message as before:
"Windows could not start the Windows Server Essentials Management Services on Local Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start"
Regarding the Logs:
I have uploaded Dashboard log files which are created after 5th December to my dropbox account: Link
Regarding the SFC command:
Of course, when the SFC command was completed but with error that it could not repair
tsgclean.exe I tried to start the essentials dashboard and WS2012 server manager with no luck.
What about the error message? I looked up that file in the explorer and it is located in folder "C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-tsproxy-edgeadapter_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_none_2ec8d374a0ac5606"
Why can't it be repaired and what kind of file is that?
Best regards

Sudden problem with fill layers

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. Until recently, I've had no problem with fill layers. I'd make a selection from the photo, then I'd make a layer of the selection, then I'd go to edit, fill layer, fill with background/foreground color. Then the selection only would be filled. Now, all of a sudden, I make the selection, make a layer of the selection, go to edit/fill layer/fill with background/foreground color, and the whole photo becomes filled with the fill color, and not just the selection. I'm always on the selection layer, not the background or any other layer. I've reset all the tool defaults, and I've even deleted the defaults file, but to no avail. What's happening here? How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Sue

Sue and MichelB
MichelB
When I tried to help Sue with the inquiry, I was doing so based on what was written and my interpretation of it
then I'd go to edit, fill layer, fill with background/foreground color.
For me that Photoshop Elements 11 Full Editor, Edit Menu/Fill Layer and the issue did not fit.
But if the route were as you have suggested Photoshop Elements 11 Full Editor, Layer Menu/New Fill Layer/Solid Color then everything would fall into place, centering around that option in the New Layer dialog "Use Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask" being checked or unchecked.

We look forward to your follow up.
Thank you both.

Problems with PERMISSIONS VERIFY

Hello. I'm using Panther 10.3.9 and I'd never seem to have problems with my permissions verify utility until yesterday when a message appeared saying: "disk utility has lost it's connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility". I've done this several times but the message keeps appearing once and again, and of course, no permissions verify task done. I've run Norton, Diskwarrior and Cocktail, and nothing seems to fix the problem. Can someone help me please???

Problem with permissions on files brought down from server

We have 19 new macPros running 10.5.2. Users log in as a standard users. They often have a need to move files down from a NAS on the network and then pass those file onto another department for additional work and output. Unfortunately, even though the user is listed as the owner of the file the group and guest are set to read only and the permissions are locked and the user cannot unlock the file permissions without an administrator name and password (which we would rather not give them). We did not have these problems with Tiger. Anyone know what is going on with these permissions?
This is happening on all the machines? Is this normal or is there a problem with the installation? The machines were all imaged using the same software.

I guess we're the only ones?
What make is your NAS Alex?

Serious and Sudden Problem with Z10 NEED HELP PLEASE

I have a z10, one of the first that came out in Toronto (if it makes a
difference), a couple of hours ago I came across a serious and sudden
problem.
I was able to swipe left and right between pages of apps, even drop down
from the top, but I cannot open anything, not even make a call or settings
options.
Any time I try to, for a split second it looks like its about to load
something then nothing. (image slides to the right quickly and goes back on
every attempt)
So I first did a reset, same problem, then I did a battery pull (about 15 minutes) and problem presisted.
I tried through USB to do a backup on blackberry manager and perhaps do a
re-install of everything, however when I was prompted for the password of
my device on my PC it kept telling me it was an incorrect password (I use
this blackberry on my computer 4-7 days a week, twice a day sometimes for a
year and I have never miss typed my password nor have i changed it)
After trying everything to make sure the first letter maybe was upper/lower
case, even my other possible phone password, nothing worked..
On the 5th failed attempt my phone prompted me to type 'blackberry', which
i did, then i typed my password on my phone which i type in about 15 times
a day becuase I set my phone to a 5 minute lock and still said it was incorrect.... I am no on 9/10 attempts and lost
for options.
Please if anyone can give me any suggestions, or even how to backup my phone
and whipe it now, or I have an earlier backup form 4 months ago that I
wouldnt mind going back to in worst case scenario.
Thank you for your help in advance,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry, no I haven't experienced that. It could be from an app you downloaded but that's just a guess. Wiping the device will tell us a lot. If the device still doesn't work you'll want to reload the OS using BB Link. if it still doesn't work after that then warranty support will be necessary through Rogers.

Sudden problems with image behaviors, javascript on Yahoo servers

I have been posting my website with Yahoo Small Business for 10 years and have never had a server-side issue (to my knowledge). Until now.
It should first be pointed out that all my sites are basic HTML, constructed using Dreamweaver 8 on an old Sawtooth PowerMac that runs OS X.3.8. I am behind the times and know it.
I have a 2011 iMAC, but can't afford to upgrade my imaging software. If adobe cared anything about aspiring designers, they would come down to earth with the pricing (why should current students, educators and private business be given such a massive advantage in pricing?). Sorry, I'm just being truthful. I do not use style sheets (though it would be helpful to learn since the web is run by them now).
Recently, I completely redesigned my personal website. When I tested it on my old mac, everything functioned as desired. When tested on my new mac, everything functioned as desired. When viewed online after uploading to the server, the page appears to load in full, but none of the image behaviors work. Correction, the "mailto:" link works, but it was assigned in the property inspector rather than the behaviors inspector. So I have no rollovers and no operative links beyond email.
I sent the site files to a friend so he could check the site. He posted it to the server he uses and all the functions on the page work correctly. This is where I came to suspect that the problem is with the Yahoo servers and not my coding.
Here is the link to the page that does not work correctly:
http://www.boughnermultimedia.com
Here is the link to the page that does work correctly:
http://www.ericsearsandeyes.com/fboughner
In Safari, I checked the error console and the following message appears for all java script behaviors:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable:
If someone here could check my source code and let me know where Yahoo is having problems with my code, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Your code is corrupted. If you view source in browser, you'll see your code is compressed into one long line. This will surely cause JavaScripts to fail.
Your friend's version works because the code is not compressed.

Problem with Permissions while accessing Portal Content

Dear All,
Im facing some problems with the permission in accessing the portal content.
When i right click on any of the folders in the catalog displayed under the System Administration - > System Configuration -> System Landscape -> Content directory provided by SAP . I get the following Menu options on right click -> NEW -- > Folder, Change ID, Copy, Delete.
I dont get a option such as NEW --> System(from template) which is important to configure the ABAP ECC 6.0 System with the EP 7.0 to enable logon through the Portal to access the ABAP Database through Web browser.
I have installed EP 7.0 JAVA stack alone separately and ECC 6.0 ABAP stack alone separately.
I have tried assigning System Admin Role, Super User Role, Group as Administrators. But nothing seems to work.
Im not sure of the roles to be assigned.
thanks,

Sudden problem with lxde panel

im not sure what i did, but this problem seems to have popped up out of nowhere......when i start lxde, the panel keeps flashing, cant click on anything, wondering whats going on with it, if anyone knows

sorry i cant be more usefull at the moment. im not near the machine i have with LXDE
Wiping the config file and re-configuring seems to solve this problem. At least, once I fixed it I have not seen it come back again.
I did this also when I had problems with the menu not working and causing my panels to reset.
So far a great fix. Now panels are back to normal. I will edit if problem shows itself again.

Problem with permissions after NOT installing 10.5.3

A few weeks ago when Software Update asked me if I wanted to install 10.5.3 I said no, since I wanted to wait for a while to see if there were any problems first before I went ahead with it. According to Software Update, 10.5.3 has been downloaded on my computer, but not installed, although I can't find it anywhere.
Ever since then things have been getting increasingly weird. I thought I had most of the problems solved after booting from the Leopard disk and repairing ACLs and permissions. However, after I shut my computer down for the night, and rebooted the next morning, all my problems were back and a few new ones. Now I have to log in each time I reboot the computer. I have to log in each time I open Mail. I can't unlock anything. I click the lock and nothing happens. Time Machine has stopped working again and is no longer backing up my data. When I click on "Get Info" for my HDs or apps, Sharing and Permissions says I have custom access - all the rest is greyed out, and I can't unlock anything. I seem to have lost permission to make any changes! Very frustrating!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes, I can access the Time Machine application.
Following up on your previous suggestion, even though I'm listed as admin in the Accounts pane, I thought it was worth a shot, so I followed the steps set out in the Apple article TS1278: "Mac OS X 10.5: Administrator user changes to standard".
After booting from my Install DVD, and resetting the password for the System Administrator (root), I restarted from my Mac, selected "Other" in the login window, and tried to log in as System Administrator (root) with the password I'd chosen, but it wouldn't log me in. All that happened was the login window trembled a bit, then cleared, and that was that. I tried a number of times, with the same result. Do you have any idea what I can do to correct that? Because it sounded like the process described in this article could very well fix my permissions problems.
Thanks for your help.
