Weird permissions thing

Hi There!
I have a Mac running 10.4 networked to a Mac running 10.3.
The 10.3 has four hard drives.
When I mount them all on my 10.4 Mac, I don't seem to be able to access SOME of the files, and I can't trash files, etc. on the mounted disks.
I went to the 10.3 Mac , did Command-I on each of the disks, and clicked on "ignore ownership", but it doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas?

From my 10.4 computer, with the disk mounted, if I click on a file and do "Get Info" it says I can Read and Write, and the owner is the other machine.
???

Weird permissions issue update

(see thread below for 7/12/08 "Weird permissions issue"
I re-installed the 3.1.1 final version of CCC, did another backup, (both HD and clone now had Security update installed (as was the case with the backup using the CCC beta) and, voila, no more permissions errors there either.
So, it would seem, the problem stemmed from the differing security packages, not CCC.
BDAqua: I owe you points. Thanks again for your help.
By the way, is there any conceivable Mac executed scenario by which files can end up in the trash (besides "recovered files") without intentionally placing them there, (not counting sleepwalking and unresponsive, zombie states)? This has happened.

There were about 7 or 8, all documents: Appleworks.cwk or Word or Word.doc. and one was saved in Simple Text. They were related in content and could have come from a few places as they were grouped, saved in several locations, but really impossible to trace where they resided just before they ended up in Trash.
I don't want anyone to get too bothered about this. It's one of those things I guess they call an anomaly when no suitable explanation can be found. I was just curious to know if it can happen according to some process in Tiger I don't know about.

Weird Permissions Problem

I'm running the latest version of Leopard (10.5.5). Two days ago, I downloaded the latest update to MS Office 2008 (12.1.3). I have 12.1.2 installed. Upon downloading I tried to install the update. About 5 steps into the update, the installer asked me where to install the update. At that point, it identified all of my drives with a red exclamation point, making no choices possible. Since I had just installed other updates on my startup drive, the red exclamation point made no sense to me. So, I rebooted. Same problem. I repaired permissions. Same problem. I downloaded another copy of the update from a different server. Same problem. I inspected the drive permissions as well as the permissions on the Office 2008 folder. No problems identified. I ran TechTool Pro and found no problems.
At this point, I am unable to install the update on one machine - a Mac Pro quad core 2.66 machine with 4 physical hard drives plus two attached firewire drives. All my programs are installed on the startup drive - a Seagate 1 TB, 7200 RPM drive. I've succeeded in updating MS Office on all my other machines. Something is odd about the Mac Pro, but I'll be darned if I can figure out what it is. Hardware problem? Software problem? permissions problem? You guess because I don't have a clue.
I have been able to continue to update software without a hitch, except for the MS Office patch.
Any thoughts? This doesn't seem to be a Microsoft problem as my other experiences demostrate. I'm open to suggestions for a possible fix or a way to fool the installer.
Thanks for your help.

In the end, I solved the problem with a very large hammer. Because I keep extensive backups, I rebooted into a backup, blew away the startup drive completely, deleted the install of Office 2008, and then restored the startup drive from the backup. Before doing that, I used Disk Utility and Disk Warrior to comb the surface of the startup drive for any defects. None found. That done, the restoration permitted me to reinstall Office 2008, update with SP1 and then update using 12.1.3. In the end, all the permissions are exactly the same as they were beforehand. I have no idea what the problem was, but this is another lesson in why we keep backups around. SuperDuper! made this problem trivial, but time consuming. I now know that my backups are solid and that my startup drive is fresh. I had plenty of better things to do with my time, but I'll have another time to fix those messes.
Thanks for all attempts at help. This just turned out to be "one of those" kinds of problems that have no logical or rational explanations and for which the only solution is the big hammer.

What is this and how do I get rid of it? Weird display thing popped up.

What is this black thing, My kids sat on my computer keyboard and now I have this thing on all of my pages.
How do I get rid of it?
Thank you!

Weird sync thing with iPhone 3G

Hai
I have the following thing with an iphone 3G. On one mac the phone is syncing and I am able to download apps. On another mac I am able to syncing but NOT able to download apps.
The choosen apps dissapear during the syncing process
Can anyone help, where to look to solve this problem.
I already have restarted the iphone,
regards
iemke

Plug the 3G into a wall outlet, as this "can" take several hours, then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. This will return the phone to a state just like it was when first taken out of the box. Plug it into her computer, name it what you want & sync her content to it. Or, (faster), on her computer: iTunes>Preferences>Devices...put a check in the box labeled "Prevent iPods/iPhones from syncing automatically". Connect the 3G, on the Summary Pane, hit the "Restore" button. Both produce the same result, but restoring as new is faster.

Is this weird screen thing on top normal?

I am using iPhone 6 Plus.
As you can see on my video http://youtu.be/tfXWWSARc68, on top of the screen, 1 milimeter from top, when locking/unlocking phone, something weird happens, screen is fuzzy. Please can you check if that happens on yours too so I can know if it's my phone or what..
here is wallpaper if u want to try on your device

The background is being zoomed in every time you turn on the display. And that particular background has noise(fuzzy) so the pixels in it are being stretched when zoomed in when the display is turned on and zoomed out when the display is turned off.

My Ipod touch turns white and goes back to restart with this weird code thing what should i do

There is this code thing on my start screen and sometimes when i turn it on it stops what its doing and restarts from there and it happens all over again what should i do?

Try the following:
- Reset. nothng will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you have problems restoring, try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Weird ping thing

Netware 6.5 sp7, TCP 6.81.06, WSPIP 6.23.06, and BX2.lan version 3.41
(although b57 and c1000 do the same thing)
I can communicate just fine with everything.
However, when I ping the network identifier address of the server network
(i.e server address is 192.168.4.1, and I ping 192.168.4.0), I will get
anywhere from 3 to 30 simultaneous responses.
My MS servers, Cisco routers and switches and ASA, and my workstations do
not do this. Only my netware servers. Linux do not do it either.
Just curious if there is something to this that I don't know.
Tom

I thought the broadcast address was on the other end, ie 192.168.4.255?

You're pinging the subnet broadcast address and every device on that
subnet will potentially respond - resulting in the the 3 - 30 replies.
Your other ping implementations just report the success/failure response
of the ping - netware responds with all the responses.

Weird Permissions which will never get repaired

Permissions repair complete

They will never be fixed since they are not errors. The Permissions database has changed but has not been updated by Apple.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
When you see one of these with an l in front of the Permissions (a symlink) even if it's not on the list, just ignore it. You can also generally ignore any Permissions errors that return even after "Repairing."

Weird permissions problems

Solaris 9 sytem, recently patched.
I seem to have broken something. Many processes are working but giving permissions errors for users and daemons:
My pop server says it can't create .<name>.pop files in /var/mail and to check permissions. This has been working just fine and permissions have not been changed.
lpsched reports "Failed to exec child process (permission denied)" and fills the log file with this msg.
Can't ssh into the system: but the ssh client reports a failur to chdir to /export/home/<name> - permission denied, but the sshd log file accepted the passwd and reports no error. The home dir exists and this has been working.
As root, doing su - <name> reports back "No directory!" while su <name> says "su: No shell"
logins -x -l <name> reports everything is A-OK, the home directory exists, and is owned correctly. I can chdir into it as root and ls -n reports correct uid/gid.
There is some common thread to this that I'm not seeing... Any ideas? It is not a permissions problem - I seem to have broken some ability for root to run processes correctly.

About BOLT and Opera Mini, it's a signature problem.
your device will always ask you if an application can go on the internet, unless the application is signed.
you just have to download the signed version of the application.
The problem is that editors refuse to sign their application using the signing authorities trusted by RIM, and on the other side, RIM refuses to install on your device an application that is signed by an authority that RIM does not trust as "code signing".

See it in the photo over the word "mailboxes." It just showed up a few days ago.

When scrolling I get this weird wavy thing that is hard to look at. It looks like the waves above a barbeque or heat waves rising off the pavement on a hot day. Does anyone out there have this issue?

The "heat wave" on the screen happens when scrolling. It is driving me nuts!!!

Thank you so much for the help. It solved it. Now my eyes can look at the screen again when i scroll using Firefox 8.0! I appreciate your time to help me!

Weird Keyword thing

I've got some characters showing up in keywords I can't get rid of, example:
freedom, fun > CATEGORIES, harmony, horizontal*, journey, motorcycle > land transportation, motorcycle rider, motorcycling, outdoor, playing, relaxation > CATEGORIES, responsibility > CATEGORIES
This is one set of keywords. Obviously I don't want ">" or "CATEGORIES" in there but every time I try to delete them they pop back in. They also do not show up in the left columns keyword listing.
This could have something to do with the wrong cvkc keyword sets being imported into PhotoMechanic and then when read by LR it pulled in all of the bad keywords with it.
Thanks for clues.

For me it happened if I had a keyword in multiple hierarchies ie:
Family Members: George
Pets: George
I posted a feature request to Adobe that the keywords entry area should just display the keywords themselves and not the hierarchies. The hierarchies should be displayed when the popup is set to keywords and parents.

Mail/Word weird clipboard thing

I have a script that extracts information from various fields in selected messages within Mail concatenates it into a single string, formats it and places it on the clipboard.
When run the script works fine if I paste the result into TextEdit. However if I paste it into MS Word then all the carriage returns (whether inserted by the script or copied from the body of the message) are not pasted.
Anyone have any ideas why?
This is a modified verison of a script I used to have for use with QuickMail Pro and it used to work fine with any text editor so I am a bit confused.

Perhaps Word uses CR/LF as it's line ending so instead of returns in your preparation script you should be using something like:
set CRLF to (ASCII character 13) & (ASCII character 10)
then insert CRLF where you were putting returns.
Note: I haven't tried this - I don't know what a typical line looks like on your clipboard.
