Unable to restore to same user due to permissions

I am trying to restore a folder 'Master images' in standard user 'photos'. I have had no problems with my Time Machine backups and the files appear as expected there. The permissions on the folder on TM and on my HD for that user are read/write.
When I did a replace restore it asked for an administrator's password, which it accepted. The Master images folder was then replaced with one sub folder which looks OK and only one file in another folder. I then get a message box for Copy "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for 'Master images'.". Huh? I can, as administrator, change the permissions for the Master images folder to include my administrator ID as read/write. Does not help.
I am baffled. I also cannot restore logged in as administrator as TM does not allow me access to the Photos user.
Why can I have the power to change permissions but not the power to copy those files?
I tried to drag one image from a folder on TM that did not restore to my desktop and it worked fine. Would it be better to just drag the folders from the TM disk? However, that begs the question of why.

Since there were no responses, I tried to copy the files from the Time Machine disk directly using Finder. This was successful and Aperture master images are reconnected again.
I still would appreciate an understanding as to why the simple solution using the Time Machine facility did not work while the direct approach did work.

  • Unable to recreate the same user in OBIEE 11g

    I have created user name : Justin

    deleted the user: Justin.
    re-created the user: Justin
    when trying to login, I am getting below error:
    Unable to Sign In

    should I be deleting or restarting the server for this?
    thanks

    Hi,
    Yes.Just refresh GUID and just while deleting user :Justin folder and justin.atr must be removed.then try to GUID then try to login again.
    FYI: to regenerate user GUIDs:
    Update the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter in NQSConfig.INI:
    Open NQSConfig.INI for editing at:
    ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obisn
    Locate the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter and set it to YES, as follows:
    FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS = YES;
    Save and close the file.
    Update the Catalog element in instanceconfig.xml:
    Open instanceconfig.xml for editing at:
    ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/
    coreapplication_obipsn
    Locate the Catalog element and update it as follows:
    <Catalog>
    <UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit>
    <UpdateAccountGUIDs>UpdateAndExit</UpdateAccountGUIDs>
    </Catalog>
    Save and close the file.
    Restart the Oracle Business Intelligence system components using opmnctl:
    cd ORACLE_HOME/admin/instancen/bin
    ./opmnctl stopall
    ./opmnctl startall
    Set the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter in NQSConfig.INI back to NO.
    Important: You must perform this step to ensure that your system is secure.
    Update the Catalog element in instanceconfig.xml to remove the UpdateAccount GUIDs entry.
    Restart the Oracle Business Intelligence system components again using opmnctl:
    cd ORACLE_HOME/admin/instancen/bin
    ./opmnctl stopall
    ./opmnctl startall

  • TS1372 Any tips for "Unable to restore iPod shuffle"?

    I am trying to update an iPod Shuffle 2nd generation I haven't used in several years. I keep getting the error message saying "Unable to restore I  Pod shuffle due to errors.......(long list of choices)
    I unplugged it, repluged it, again I was asked if I wanted to update the software, I said yes, and I don't know what's happening now! This shuffle has hardly ever been  used and I want to use it now when I bicycle...Any suggestions?

    Are you connecting the USB cable to a direct USB port on the Mac (instead of a hub or spare keyboard port)?  Are you using the USB cable with a mini-dock at the iPod end (the one it came with)?

  • [ConfigFwk:390105]Unable to create WLS change list due to a short term automatic lock obtained by user null

    Hi,
    I am getting this error while trying to activate a session in OSB (clustered env with 3 nodes). I have a OSB project which listens to a JMS queue. I was able to create the project fine and was able to activate the session, no issues. But when I tried to update the queue name or delete the project itself, this error gets thrown:
    [ConfigFwk:390105]Unable to create WLS change list due to a short term automatic lock obtained by user null. The user has no pending changes and the lock will expire in 600 seconds. Please try again after the lock has expired.
    Retrying after those seconds takes me back to the same error but the time get's reset to 600 sec.
    I can change the code in that project and activate the session without any issues but if I change any configuration for proxy/business services or delete the project itself, i get this error. the only way to get around this issue is to clone the project and make changes to the cloned project. But, that is not the solution i am looking for as I don't want to keep a old version of the project and don't want to keep creating new queues everytime (since no two proxies can point to the same queue).
    Oh, and this happens only with the projects which deal with JMS queues.

  • Unable to delete Role from User ID in SAP SOLMAN production system but able to from DEV with the same authorization, pls suggest

    unable to delete Role from User ID in SAP SOLMAN production system but able to from DEV with the same authorization, pls suggest

    Hi,
    For SU01 role removal, you do not need S_USER_AGR with 02, and as you mentioned both authorizations available in production, if so trace should not show you the S_USER_AGR with 02 with RC=04.
    I would recommend to do role comparison for the user performing the activity. and then check if you have the S_USER_AGR with 02 in user buffer SU56.
    But ideally it should not ask you S_USER_AGR for 02 through SU01, so please take help of abaper to debug it.
    Also put trace in non-prd to see if S_USER_AGR is getting checked with 02 for removal through SU01.

  • User Unable to RDP in Win 2008R2 Due to Multiple Group Membership But Can RDP in Win 2003 Server

    We have built a new application server with Windows 2008R2 where set of users are local admin (application owners) and we have same kind of application server
    in Windows 2003 SP2 with same users as local admin. 
    Now in Windows 2008R2 servers these local admins are unable
    to RDP and get ACCESS
    DENIED whenever user tries to login but can login successfully in 2003 server.
    Now, strange case is, I found these admin users group membership with more than 600 groups and they are able to login win 2008 server as well if I remove their
    group membership to a minimum level say around 300.
    This is so confusing for me as user can login in WIn 2003 server with highest group membership but not in WIn 2008.
    We have applied Maxtoken registry also through GPO.
    Any idea what are we missing here.

    This has nothing to do with Directory Services so I will move to the General forum.
    One thing to look at is to make sure that you have RDP enabled on these new 2012 servers.

  • Perf impact due to multiple connections with same user

    We're having to allow multiple users to connect with the same user account to our 10.4.9 AFP server. This is due to restrictions of another system.
    I was wondering if anyone knew of any performance issues this would cause.

    This is fine - as long as you're within the limits of the server license (e.g. the 10-user license will only support 10 concurrent connections).

  • I am unable to restore my backups from my Time Machine

    MacBook Pro – My reformatted system that won't restore from my time machine - HELP PLEASE
    I loaded Lion when it first came     out and all my troubles started. (It was the same on my 24” iMac).     Mail particularly hardly worked on either machine after loading up     Lion but that's another story and I wish I had never upgraded to      Lion.
    I am now in China and took my     MacBook Pro with me
    To avoid mail problems I     eventually used web-mail as all I saw was the coloured spinning     wheel all day long otherwise
    Gradually the machine got slower     and slower and I saw that coloured wheel more and more
    Eventually a message came up to     say my Bootable Drive was almost full.
    I checked and it wasn't full of MY     documents.  I see on this forum it's an Apple problem - reformatting and restoring user files will not help the problem
    On 1st November I did a     Time Machine backup that completed OK
    Since then I had removed ALL     documents safely to my Sony Vaio that we bought instead of another     Apple Mac.
    Despite removing ALL documents and      emptying the trash for two users the HDD continued to fill up     rapidly
    I decided to do one more last     backup on Time Machine so I could reformat the system – This     backup never completed
    I had to reformat the system as it     was totally not useable by now
    I had expected to put a Snow     Leopard DVD in and restore my system without any problem - I have done this before on my iMac
    I was unable to point the restore     to my time machine as it has a WD lock partition and Apple restores     don't recognise the drive may be locked!
    No problem I thought, as I will do     it later through the tools utility called Migration Assistant
    I have tried several times with     Leopard and Snow Leopard but cannot get the utility to work, as it     is obviously picking up the corrupt “LAST” backup (This is a shortcut to the 6th November uncompleted backup
    I tried to move the 1st November one to the last and move the other out as “”Corrupt”,     but we are not allowed to change time machine files.  Brilliant idea     but Apple stopped it!
    So, I loaded Snow Leopard and got     it to see my Time Machine Files and restored first the Applications     – No problem
    Then Library – This failed as     “You haven't permission” - What!  Why?  This is MY Laptop and MY     files.  Apple have to sort out this permission problem.  I have had     it three and a half years and it has driven me mad.  It's a flawed     way of working in my opinion.  It took me three years to empty the     trash because of it.
    I then tried to restore the "System" folder which also has a library folder and that failed the same  - Why     doesn't Time Machine restore what it's told to?  Is it because I     called the MacBook Pro  something different?  It saw the backup     files OK and gave me the option of the previous MacBook or my iMac     that I also had on the same drive. I chose the MacBook but it would     NOT restore the system.
    Conclusion
    So, I am stuck in China without my     MacBook Pro and unable to restore my system and unable to retrieve     the 1st November backup which was taken properly.
    This means that I cannot run any     programmes and do any work
    I have wasted two weeks altogether     on all the combined problems and without a usable system
    Any ideas how to restore back to     the 1st November please?  Thanks in advance!

    UpdateAfter Advice from Apple
    RESTOREPROBLEMS
    I spoke from China on the1st December to a very helpful Senior Apple Technical person.  He gave me my guidelines for a successful restore and we hung up.
    Unfortunately, the backup hadn't enough space, so I repartitioned the hard drive and THEN followed his instructions.
    At 6 am there was amessage to say it had restored OK (See screen-shot to say it wassuccessful) and so, I pressed OK to restart the MacBook Pro.
    All I got was the same as before - a grey spinning wheel.
    To cut a very long storyshort, I wasted the whole day trying to make a backup work to no avail. I came to the conclusion that this is yet another example of Lion not working, as I have never had this problem with Leopard and Snow Leopard.
    I then got a screen shot of a message never seen before and that may help Apple ….
    So, I sent them that screen-shot. Restarting did nothing of course.
    Timeto stop the nonsense!
    To cut my losses of many days wasted time over the last 5 weeks, I gave up trying to restore and as I have all the data safely tucked away on an external drive, Irebuilt the MacBook Pro with just Leopard.
    I then put all theApplications back on one by one and it runs perfectly. Luckily I also had these with me in China!
    Ablisteringly quick system on the old Leopard
    In fact, Pages and AdobeCS4 are how they were when we purchased the machine 3.5 years ago -Blisteringly quick.
    I have a mega large Pages Newsletter about China that I think was over 20 Mb before I shrank it, as it had many photos. This brought the MacBook running Lion to it's knees. On my rebuilt MacBook Pro running Leopard, it ran blisteringly quickly,even before shrinking it.
    I managed to finish thenewsletter that I had started on the 21st October and we bulk emailedit out as a PDF 1st December from my MacBook Pro running Leopard.
    In fact, the machine isrunning so well, that I think I will stick with Leopard.
    LION
    I always suspected the problem with Lion was it was constantly doing SAVES all the time that were in the foreground and not the background that I was unable to type in productively. My own opinion is that the developers had been trying to be TOO clever with Lion and for a busy person like me it crippled my productivity that went down by 50% and then eventually to ZERO %.
    CONCLUSION
    I would like to thank the Apple Technical person for his efforts on my behalf and felt that he should receive this update to close the case.
    I stated that hopefully he can pass my observations to the LION TEAM Management or to whoever in Apple needs to see this feedback. The dozen or so problems with Lion have already caused us to go and buy a Sony Vaio instead of another MacBook Pro.
    This anti-Apple attitude is by a person that for over 3 years was utterly and completely soldon Apple. No more, as Lion killed all my enthusiasm for Apple. My colleague as well. I asked the Apple Technical person to PLEASE pass this on!  Whether he passed the report on I will never know!

  • Unable to Restore Database

    We are attempting to migrate from an older windows platform to a Windows 2008 platform. The old configuration had two disk drives, and Oracle Express was installed on E: - the new server, being virtual has been configured with only the C: drive.
    I've been reading up on RMAN, and have confirmed that the daily backup process on the old server does create an RMAN backup.
    I've installed (and several repeat uninstall/installs) a copy of Oracle Express 10g in the default location, accepting all defaults except for my password (which is irrelevant under RMAN).
    I've duplicated the directories, I've figured out how to restart the database so I don't have to reinstall, but I am unable to restore the application database. I'm not eager to use other utilities than RMAN, since learning RMAN has already taken up more time than is budgeted for this task.
    I receive varying error messages, depending on the techniques I try to use. Usually I receive this closing message:
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-03002: failure of startup command at 12/14/2010 13:39:24
    RMAN-04014: startup failed: ORA-02778: Name given for the log directory is invalid
    The other message I receive is the following or a variation on the theme:
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
    RMAN-06564: must use the TO clause when the instance is started with SPFILE
    The second message is a direct response to the following:
    rman target /
    startup force nomount;
    run
    {set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to 'c:\backup\oracle\XE_%F';
    # use 'c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\database\SPF2FILE_%F'
    RESTORE SPFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;
    I have no clue how to specify correctly that the SP2FILE.ORA file is the backup of the control file (can provide the script to create the backup if you think it will help, which runs a series of logs to capture settings and then executes the backup.) The backup process was inherited and I cannot explain why the default RMAN process is not being used to create the backup. However, I've been unable to use the default RMAN output to restore on a different server, as well.
    Please help - this task is now very late, and I'm not even sure whether I'm asking the correct questions to solve the problem(s) I'm experiencing.

    I'm not sure what you mean by the instance 'status'. I install a fresh copy of Oracle Express 10g. Copy over the backup files for the database and logs, copy over the SPFILE..., and attempt to restore, with the errors reported above.
    When I install XE, the instance is up and running (as confirmed by the 'home page' of XE being displayed in the browser waiting for logon and password. When I start the process to restore, XE is no longer available (in some form of maintenance mode and unavailable to normal users).
    What do you mean 'using pfile/spfile'? How would I 'use'? (I did verify that if I take a 'backup' using the XE tools, I CAN restore on the same instance where I took the backup. Just not on a different, new instance of XE.)
    The article is quite interesting, but it seems to assume that I'm working in the same instance where the backup was taken. The instructions also seem to contradict the error messages I presented above.
    I don't have any autobackup settings on my brand new copy of XE, so the following command in the article does not seem meaningful to me. Clearly it makes sense to use both a TO and FROM. It seems that what I should be doing is using a 'FROM' where I have the 'TO'; what happens if I point to my backup copy of the SPFILE in the FROM clause instead of 'AUTOBACKUP'? The command string I provided in my original post may be trying to do that, but I can't tell from the source article (which I now have to go find...)
    "RMAN> RESTORE SPFILE TO '/tmp/spfileTEMP.ora' FROM AUTOBACKUP;"
    Additional question - "DBID"? In express, I do not see any value for DBID. I understand why it would be relevant in a more advanced implementation, with multiple databases being maintained under the same Oracle installation, but it's not clear to me what DBID identifies - the database's internal "primary key" value in a directory of databases, or some other implication.

  • Can not log into server computer with any accounts - "You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."

    I have a Mac mini running the latest version of OS X and Server. Been running fine and flawlessly. However, I had a strange problem with the iCloud preferences panel crashing when I tried to access it, so I rebooted. Now I can not log into the system with any accounts. My master admin account (along with all the others) gives me the error:
    You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
    I am able to see the server from other macs and I can log into it using the same account, but it only shows me a few of the shared folders I have access to but NOT to my main directories.
    Rebooting into Command-R and doing a disk utility, I try and repair permission on that drive and get a bunch of errors like:
    ACL found but not expected on Users
    Repaired "Users"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/.localized
    Repaired "Users/.localized"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared
    Repaired "Users/shared"
    ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared/.localized
    Repaired "Users/Shared/.localized"
    Permissions repair complete.
    But rebooting is no joy...same problem. Any idea what is going on or how to repair it? Should I do a time machine restore? Complete new OS X install? Any idea what is causing this or how to salvage it?

    Got everything to re-install and it worked fine...for a few hours. Then I came in to find ALL of my network users deleted. Just GONE. Then found out the Open Directory was trashed and was unable to open, recover or restore from a backup. Looks like I may have a bad drive here.
    I installed a new drive in the system, re-installed and so far (for a couple of hours anyway) the system seems to be working and stable.
