Why do I need my session password to copy file to my External HD

hi,
When I copy a file from drive 1 to drive 2, system ask me my session password.
When I want to delete a folder from drive 2, either.
I took few actions before that behavior that may concern :
The drive 2 used to be my boot drive. I swapped it with drive 1. then I restore my whole système to drive 1 from a third drive backup (Time Machine)
For test purpose, I install a Mac OS on drive 2 then deleted it (put it to trash). An empty System folder (with only an empty startup sub-folder) is always recreated on this drive 2...
I just want to use this drive 2 as a data drive.
I would like to get ride of this System folder and also this kind of "copy/delete password".
How could I remove this kind of protection on drive 2 ?
Thanks

Thanks for your suggestion,
format/erase is not an option ; I already stored gigabit of data on disc 2 and I am unable to temporally move those files...
Permission (cmd -I) are note exactly the same :
disk 1 : System, admin and everyone
disk 2 : System, wheel and everyone
I clicked the + button and add administrator group with read/write permission.
Now it's ok
Thanks Eric !

Why Can't I Copy Files from an External Hard Drive or SD Card?

Major problem here... Why when I try copying files from an external hard drive or an SD card onto my internal iMac hard drive, it doesn't work? The status bar that pops up, shows that it completes the transfer of the files to 100%; however, when it does in fact finish, the files actually do not appear on my hard drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is one of many problems I have been finding with OS X Lion and am very much on the verge of going back to Snow Leopard.
Thank you.

Have u tried the usual? Safe boot. Delete finder plist files? etc. And the drives are formatted for mac yes?

Why can't I copy files from my external hard drive - error code -50.

I sm trying to back up an external hard drive to a network drive. Some files copy but not all;. SOmetimes a folder seems to have copied but then I see that most of the files inside have not. And sometimes I just get 'An unexpected error has occurred'. Error code - 50.
I need to have a back up copy of the files on this hard drive. How can I stop this happening and copy files properly and securely?
The external hard drive is a LaCie bought from Apple, share formatted FAT32.
The network drive is a WD MyBookLIve Duo which WD tell me should work equally well with any operating system.
Please advise. I need to archive a security copy of this data urgently

Why do we need a session

in bdc session method we create a session by bdc_open_group , i want to know the exact functionality in creating this session .we procees this session in t code sm35.we r processing means it is updating the database,is that right.
thank u in advance......

hi,
if you have to write something on to the file ...first step will be opening.
so in session method also first open the session using function module
BDC_OPEN_GROUP.
Data is transferred to session by BDC_insert.
this function creates the session through the program.
remember session is an intermediated step between internal table and database table. Data along with its action is stored in session ie data for screen fields,to which screen it is passes,the program name,and how the next screen is processed.
unless session is processed, the data is not transfered to database table.
BDC_ClOSE_GROUP.

Why do I need a credit card number on file to download free apps?

I've had this itunes account for several years. The last CC that I had on file for making purchases has been lost (and reported as such). So, obviously my payment information regarding that card is no longer valid and I can no longer make purchases. Understandable.
I am, however, still waiting for a new card to be sent to me before I can go in an update the information.
What is boggling me is that when I attempt to download updates or other free applications, itunes (on my phone) keeps asking me to sign in and provide payment information (which I do not have). It will not let me download any free apps or updates without it.
1. Why?
2. How do people who use gift cards or paypal use this function on their iphone/itouch? (or, really anyone who either doesn't have a CC or doesn't want to use it). There's GOT to be a way when I see other people walking around with their iphones/itouches dl'ing free apps just presumably without a linked credit card on their account. Right?
I know all I really need to do is wait for my card and update my info when it gets here, but there are some pretty important updates that I kind of need now.

You can create an App store account without a credit card, however that won't help you with updating your previous purchases. Apps are DRM protected, and tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. There is no way to overcome this DRM protection or transfer them to another account(Itunes support can if you contact them). If you want to create an App store account without a credit card, follow the directions here, but bear in mind the DRM protection mentioned. If you use this account to download free apps, you will have to use this same account for all future updates:

Mavericks doesn't ask for password when copying files into applications folder (e.g. installing plugins for After Effects)

For example, when i was copied a plugin for after effects into the plugins folder, finder asked me for my password and now it doesn't. I can just copy it directly without any authentication.

Do you have Service Pack 1 for Windows 7? It's listed in the system requirements for CC 2014. If you don't have SP1, AE won't run.
That GPU sniffer error message is usually what happens. This should be a simple fix! Of course, you should always take the normal precautions when updating an OS, but still...

2. There are two ways to make a protected PDF, one is "Print" to PDF, the other is "Save As" to PDF. What's the difference between them? I found the two different means result two different file size, Why is that?
3. Which one is the best way to make a Password protected PDF in Mac?

Command for Unzipping a password protected zip file in Solaris

Hi,
I got a requirement where I need unzip a password protected zip file using java in Solaris.I tried with
unzip -P but it is not working in India and Australia (may be I need to download some patch). Can any one help me to find out the solution.
Thanks
Naresh

Hi peterchun,
Thanks for your reply.
I was trying with correct password only but my Solaris is not able to recognize unzip -P command. Can you please let me know whether I need to install any patch on Solaris (my Solaris version is 9) for this command.
Basic requirement: password protected zip files comes to our application and those need to be unzipped to one particular location. As we are using JAVA/J2EE in our application, Can you please suggest any UNIX command (with example) for this requirement will be great.
Thanks,
Naresh

i need to install a fresh copy of OS X onto my macbook pro 13. i did erase the old partition "macintosh hd" & now when i am trying to create a new partition, it shows "partition failed..couldnt unmount disk"...pls help !!

First of all, I have to ask, why to you "need" to install a fresh copy of OSX?
This may mean that your hard drive is failing, so hopefully you have a backup.
I'm assuming you were in your recovery partition when you did this.
I would, from the recovery partition, repair your hard drive and permissions.
When to Run First Aid in Mountain Lion's Disk Utility - For Dummies
And then try to create the partition again.
If that doesn't work, you have a few options:
Try a third party utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool which may be able to repair your hard drive:
DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory Repair, Mac Disk Recovery, Mac Data Recovery or Techtool Pro 7
Try internet recovery, perhaps erase the entire hard drive and reinstall ML.
If nothing else works, then I'd replace the HD and start over.

Need insight for setting up permissions for sharing an external hd via OS X 10.6?

Hello intelligent lifeforms,
My supervisor and friend passed away a little over a year ago, and I am now trying to fill his shoes as the networking guru and could use some assistance. I'm trying to share an external hard drive that is connected to my Mac Pro OS X 10.6 workstation with a Mac Pro OS X 10.4 workstation user. I've tried setting up a Sharing Only account in my System Preferences-Accounts for the 10.4 user, and under System Preference-Sharing I turned File Sharing: On, added the Shared Folder, added the User and set priveleges as "Read Only." My intentions are for the 10.4 user to only be able to copy files from the external hard drive so as to protect the archived files being stored there from being tampered with. However, there is a User group listed as "Everyone" that I can't remove and believe it is taking precedence over the 10.4 account that I setup. I do not know where this Everyone group originated from but believe it to be some kind of default group and a major obstacle.
When the 10.4 user copies a folder from the external hd to his workstation and later copies it to a volume on our Xserve OS X 10.2 the folder shows that I do not have privileges to do anything to the folder (there is a red circle with a minus sign in it on the folder icon). Eventually, I am to backup these files to the external hd where lies my dilemma.
The volume on the Xserve being copied to is setup under Workgroup Manger-Sharing-Share Points-General: "Share this item and its contents" IS checked, Owner: admin-Read & Write, Group: staff-Read & Write (where said user has been added to the staff group), Everyone: none (I do not think the Everyone group listed on the server has anything to do with the Everyone group on my machine?), Enable disk quotas on this volume is NOT checked.
My tests show that the permissions are being carried over from the external hd Everyone group (Read Only) because even when the 10.4 user's permissions are set to Read & Write in System Preferences-Sharing-File Sharing-Users the folder still shows to be Read Only when it's copied. I've even tried setting his Desktop privileges to Read & Write hoping that when he copies the folder the permissions would be overwritten. Unfortunately, the only way to give me priveleges is for the 10.4 user to change them manually through Get Info from his workstation. This is counterproductive to the workflow I'm trying to establish. I've tried wrapping my brain around the flowchart of coordinating permissions/privileges between the different machines but to no success.
Also, a note to add is I've observed a User: Firebird Database that is listed under System Preferences-Sharing on both of our workstations. It cannot be removed either and I do not know where it is originating from.
Is there anyone out there that has any insight to this situation?
Perplexed,
carl_prepress

"Everyone" is not a Group.
Every file has underlying Access settings for System, Owner, Group, and World.
Access settings for Everyone mean everyone-else that is not explicitly mentioned in the other settings. It is the same as the Unix "World".
If you set the Priviledges for a file to Everyone=Read, then any user with any credentials can read it.
The User Categories Owner, Group, and Everyone
You can assign standard POSIX access permissions separately to three categories of users:
Owner—A user who creates a new item (file or folder) on the file server is its owner and automatically has Read & Write permissions for that folder. By default, the owner of an item and the server administrator are the only users who can change its access privileges (allow a group or everyone to use the item). The administrator can also transfer ownership of the shared item to another user.
Note: When you copy an item to a drop box on an Apple file server, ownership of the item doesn’t change, but only the owner of the drop box or root has access to its contents.
Group—You can put users who need the same access to files and folders into group accounts. Only one group can be assigned access permissions to a shared item. For more information on creating groups, see the user management guide.
Everyone—Everyone is any user who can log in to the file server: registered users and guests. Hierarchy of Permissions
If a user is included in more than one category of users, each of which has different permissions, these rules apply:
• GrouppermissionsoverrideEveryonepermissions.
• OwnerpermissionsoverrideGrouppermissions.
For example, when a user is both the owner of a shared item and a member of the group assigned to it, the user has the permissions assigned to the owner.

Why does my MBP get the grey screen after backing up to external hard drive???

(firstly, i'm a complete moron on terminal, though i managed to unlock the external HD. i appreciate the simplicity of mac, i.e. a moron in many ways.)
for some bizarre reason, every time i copy files to the external HD, i end up with a lock on the external HD and the dreaded spinning grey screen when i restart the MBP. i've managed to get rid of the grey screen by reinstalling with the snow leopard DVD without formatting, but this is obviously not practical. am i doing something wrong??
the last time i did this, i dragged my "user" files. then i dragged my entire internal HD into a folder created in my external HD. i've done this with my powerbook and older OS without issues, but OS 10.5 and 10.6 don't seem to work without ending up with the spinning grey screen and a lock on the HD.
thanks in advance for your input. (and please keep it simple...)

no, but it's definitely not due to a corrupt external drive. this happened with two different brands of drives. the first time with a lacie, i thought my MBP hard drive was damaged, but it was determined that a reinstall was all it needed. the same thing happened with an OWC. they both work fine. there seems to be some kind of a permission problem which gets screwed up somwhere.

Why is serial# needed for unique session info

hello everybody,
as you know, a session is unique with 2 fields, SID and SERIAL# which exist on v$session view.
my question is why is serial# needed and for which case serial# is changing.
now, you can say that, "only oracle developers know this, that is the design" but what i mean is, for ex: if i wanted to find a session which is blocked by another session, I use this:
select * from v$session where blocking_session is not null;in blocking_Session field, oracle gives me the session id (SID) which is blocking a session. so i can use this SID and i can kill it for instance but SID is not unique for a session I can find more than one session with same SID which one is the blocking one ?
in real life i didnt see an example of that, there is no same sid in system like my blocking session example. so I believe that serial# is assigning for another purpose, I mean, i thougth that it could be for autonomous transaction, maybe they user same sid but differen serial# but when i tested it, i saw that i was wrong.
so, why serial# is exists. if this is a design issue, how can i find a blocking session by just using SID info ?
thanks a lot.

Not surprisingly, an explanation may already be found in the documentation (and copied in Rene's reply above):
See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/dynviews_3016.htm (column description).
Or search:
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/search?word=sid+serial%23&partno=
Besides for terminating sessions, serial# may be relevant when e.g. tracing sessions (SQL Trace).
Not sure what type of example you were looking for, but I came up with this in about five seconds:
C:\Users>sqlplus blocker_user
Enter password:
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
SQL> select sid,serial# from v$session where sid=(select sid from v$mystat where rownum=1);
       SID    SERIAL#
       136         27
SQL> conn other_user
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> select sid,serial# from v$session where sid=(select sid from v$mystat where rownum=1);
       SID    SERIAL#
       136         29Edited by: orafad on Feb 1, 2012 12:18 AM

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. . Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3 or iOS 7
