My Finder is opening folders in Read-Only Mode.

When I click on Finder. A folder is opening in read only mode. When I open any folders in it, then a new window is opened again in read only mode.
Just the "New Finder Window" is having this problem.
Please help me out with my problem. I want the Finder to open windows normally rather than in read only modes.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

OBIEE11g: Set user privileges to Open RPD in Read Only mode.

Hi All,
Can some one help me , how to set user privileges to open RPD in read only mode.
1) If a user ( xxxx) logs into the RPD then the rpd should open in Read Only Mode for xxxx user.
2) If other user (YYYY) logs in online mode then it should open in online mode for other user (YYYY).
How to set the security to achieve this.

Putting apps database in Read-Only mode

Hi,
I want to put the apps database in read-only mode to that user will be able to login into the applications and see data but will not be able to update it.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

I am still looking at how to do this because if users
update the UAT/test database, when the prod upgrade
is completed, they will think that their updates will
be available and this will cause some issues.This is a training/expectation-setting issue, not a technical one. You need to make sure that your users understand the difference between a test system and production, and that changes made in testing will not be present in production. They also need to understand that this situation is actually to their benefit: it enables them to really work with the test system to uncover potential problems and learn new features, without fear of making changes that could negatively impact their day-to-day work in production.
Please note that I'm not trying to be a jerk here. I very respectfully submit that attempting to make an instance read-only for training purposes, even if possible, will involve a great deal of technical work for very little (and perhaps even negative) overall benefit to the users.
Regards,
John P.

Office 2013 opens file in read only mode

I have a client on Windows 8.1 Pro using Office 2013. When he access an office file from a network drive it opens in read only. When he saves the file to his desktop using save as it lets him open the file again in compatibility mode but he is unable to
then overwrite the file on the network folder. It keeps giving him a permission error. I have deleted his profile, changed settings in office trust center settings and checked folder permisisons. I am out of ideas. Can anyone help me out here.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
From the user, "Every file that I open, opens in read-only mode. It appears that the security is set correctly and I have not changed anything, but, it does not allow it. I have tried rebooting - not solved. I tried disconnecting the shared drive and reconnecting - not solved. However, when I do disconnect the mapped drive, I get a warning saying I have files open. The problem occurs whether I access the files from the mapped drive or directly by drilling down through the folder structure."
When I try to move files over to the drive it says I do not have required permissions to overwrite or move a file. On a different computer he has full access but not on this one. Also the settings in trust center settings for file blocking and trusted locations
also privacy.

Error when opening XLSX file with Excel 2003 SP3, file does open but in read only mode with temporary name

I am using Excel 2003 SP3 and have the Office 2007 compatibility pack installed. When I open Office 2007 formatted Excel files (XSLX) directly in Windows Explorer, I receive the following error if I do not have Excel already opened:
"Windows cannot find '<path to file>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
Even though I receive the error, the file does open; however, it opens in Read Only mode with a name such as "Xl0000024.xls". The number seems to increment up each time it happens.
Now here is the strange part. If I have Excel already open and try to open the file in Windows Explorer, the file opens fine in Modify mode with no error and with the correct file name.
I Googled the error I was getting and found KB211494. It says I should uncheck the box in Options on the General tab that says "Ignore other applications", but this box is already unchecked in my case. Any other ideas? This is
really frustrating as a small percentage of our company has upgraded to Office 2007 with the rest still on Office 2003.

This may be a file association problem. To solve that:
In Windows 7:
1. Right-click the file,
2. Select "Open With"
select [Your Program Here]
3. Check always use this program.
In Windows XP:
1. Locate the file as you have described above
2. Right click the file
3. Select Open with from the pop-up menu
4. Click Choose default program…
5. Select Excel in the Recommended Programs box
6. Check Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
7. Click on OK.
1. Make Excel not available from Office 2007 listed under Programs and Features in Control Panel.
2. Take a registry backup using the steps given here
3. In the registry editor window expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and navigate to .xls right and delete it.
4. Exit Registry Editor
5. Undo Step 1 to make Excel available.
6. Restart the computer and verify it the issue is fixed.

Open CRMM_ACCOUNT in Read-Only-Mode

hi,
i want to open the application CRMM_ACCOUNT out of a bsp application in a new window. Ok, no problem... (thanks to all the posts before )
BUT: How can i open the Account in read only mode?
yours Michael

Hello,
If you look into the standard of MAC CL_BSP_ACC_ACCMOD, you will find in read method of super class CL_BSP_BP_ACCMOD the following coding :
Activity "display": don't allow to change anything
    IF gv_activity = gc_activity-display.
      CALL METHOD cl_bsp_bp_global_service=>set_field_attr
        EXPORTING
          iv_object_key            = ls_object-object_key
          iv_screen_structure_name = iv_screen_structure_name
          iv_field_property        = gc_no_change
        CHANGING
          ct_field_attribute       = et_field_attribute
          ct_dd03p                 = gt_dd03p.
    ENDIF.
So, the only way to put the account application in display is to work on the fields attributes.
Regards,
Fred

Starting up an Oracle database in read only mode

Is there a way to have an oracle database start up in "read only" mode every time the instance is shutdown and strated back up. I need to accomplish this without any sort of manual intervention? Is there a parameter that can be set in init.ora etc... ? I am using oracle version 9.2.
Thanks in advance.

Operating System info is useful.
On *nix, it's a simple matter to edit the dbstart script. On Windows, I'd start investigating the 'net start' command.

Adobe reader wont let me highlight, and opens pdf in read only mode, why?

I need help with highlighting pdf, and tke it out of read only mode . When i go to the text edit thing it say "To modefy this document save a copy on device" Its already on my device, so why does it say that? I was able to highlight this pdf before. Was there a recent update that diabled highlighting ?

What is your operating system? Reader version? Are these PDFs writable or read-only on your device?

Opening a Standby Database in Read-Only mode

Is there anyway to open a Standby database up to date as of a certain time? I'm currently using the 2 commands to get close to the time required.
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT;
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
Such as, similar to this? RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME '2012-01-25:15:00:00';
We're on 11.1.0.7, which I'm currently very unhappy with.
Thanks for any help, as my google-fu hasn't worked today.
James

Maybe
I did a quick test :
8:42 open the databases and start recovery
8:43 check status from primary
Shows sequence 75
and "TO STANDBY" for switchover status
Did log switches at 8:44, 8:45, and 8:46
8:50
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
SQL> RECOVER STANDBY DATABASE UNTIL TIME ' 2012-01-25:20:43:00';
Media recovery complete.
SQL>
8:52
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
Database altered.
Check status
TO STANDBY and sequence 78Still need to check alert logs and do another log switch. It checks out so the quick test works.
However the quick test is incomplete since there was no before and after data in the test and the time period was very short.
Andy may be right, but I would test, test test. ( if you do please let us know the results )
Thanks Andy!
Best Regards
mseberg
Later
After sleeping on this I decided my first thought is probably correct. You cannot go back in time and still be in sync. While the test statement did not error or produce any alert log entries, it probably did nothing. Oracle is smart enough to know you cannot have your Cake and eat it too.

Database Open in Read Only Mode

Hi
I would like to open database in read only mode
like
SQL> startup mount
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY
this will open database for read only mode for all user
i want to give read write access on database to one user
any idea how i can proccess
Thanks
Chetan

Hi,
Alter database open read only;
this should work fine and everything will be in read only mode. Hence if any auditing is going on and audit_trial=db then it fails to open the database in read only mode.
If you want to control only users to stop writing to it, you may remove tablespace quotas for those users. Also, you may control them through grants. Remove any current grants assigned to them or to roles through which the grants are assigned.
Several ways to do this. If you tell us the particular scenario then we might help in getting a solution.

Vasu.

Issue regarding open word file and read only mode using c# & MS-word interop

                GC.Collect();
                GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

I know it's a very old issue and I reached to this page looking for a solution. Finally, I have found a fix to this problem.
The problem is that we create an instance of Word and do not close it correctly. This makes program believe that the file is already open and hence you're getting the respective message of file being locked by you.
Set the visibility of your application to true and then when you close it both file and instance should close and you will not get the problem again.
