Write permissions for FCP plugins

Hi,
I have downloaded some trial film effects plugins to see if they are apropriate for a project I am working on -and to see if they are any good of course. They are from a company called nattress. Anyway, I am not sure how to get the write permissions to install them in my plugins folder. I have the read permsissions, but not permission to write. Can anyone tell me how to do this or even reccommend some other good film look filter package plugins? This is rather urgent so any helpful response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 8 GB DDR2 SDRam

Copy the plugins (folder with plugins) to your FCP plugins directory:
<pre>/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins/</pre>
Just drag and drop the files/folder inside that Plugins-folder. You will then get a dialog about Authentication. Click the Authenticate button, type your password and click OK.
If you still can't get this working, you can put the files/folder inside your home directory, inside the following folder:
<pre>Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Plugins/</pre>
Good luck!

I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it

I've already right-clicked on the application, clicked "get info", and changed it so all people listed in the "Sharing & Permissions" section have the "read & write" privilage.
The error message is referring to your iTunes library, not your iTunes application.
You need to check and fix the permissions of the iTunes folder in your iTunes library. This is by default located in your "Music" folder.
Select the folder Music > iTunes in the Finder, right click on it or Ctrl Click and click "Get Info". At the bottom of the contextual window thatwill pop up, disclose the Sharing and Permissions brick, change your status from Read only to Read & Write. You may need to click the padlock icon to make changes.

Mac Mini Sever - Public Share - how enable read and write permissions for new remote files

Hi,
this Sunday a friend ask me to help hum with a problem on is Man Mini Server. He has a small office and uses the mini server to share a public folder to all his employees.
Everyone that creates a file, saves it to the public folder at the mini mac.
That problem is that, who creates the file owns it and remains with read-only permissions to everyone else. The owner has to change the file permission in order to the rest of the employees can work on it.
I do not know mac arquitecture, I only work with windows and linux, but i suspect the principles are the same.
We try to create another folder , and share it, but it happens the same. Have you any ideas on what is wrong?
I suspect it has anything to do with de file Sharing at the mini mac, but it has read and write permissions for everyone.
Thanks for your help.

signed applet. You aren't going to find any easy way to distribute that policy file to users, and that policy file, if you asked me to put it on my PC, I'd tell you to take a flying leap. That would open any applet to access.

Can't install on windows 7 get message - the folder is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder

Have tried to install Itunes on laptop running 32 bit Windows 7 - it says it installed successfully but then when I click to open I get the message "the folder is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder."

You will have to descripe where the drive is and much more.
Then go and look at the drive and folder and who has group ownership policy and more.
It would have to be a guess, plus "20 questions" but why post here? when there are Snow Leopard, iMac, and of course, iTunes, Community forums.

Not able to open itunes - "The Folder I tunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder"

I have unintalled and reinstalled several times, just suddenly stopped working. I have windows 7, have for awhile. I get the following message: The Folder I tunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder"
I had an existing account that i am no longer able to access.
I got one email suggesting right click and run as program administrator, tried it and did not work. Also went into permissions folder and ensured was listed as program administrator.
Help and Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. When you say a "different server", if you mean that you recently changed the location where iTunes was storing its files (local or otherwise), you may find the following article helpful:

How do you create default Read/Write Permissions for more than 1 user?

My wife and I share an iMac, but use separate User accounts for separate mail accounts, etc.
However, we have a business where we both need to have access to the same files and both have Read/Write permissions on when one of us creates a new file/folder.
By default new files and folders grant Read/Write to the creator of the new file/folder, and read-only to the Group "Staff" in our own accounts or "Wheel" in the /Users/Public/ folder, and read-only to Everyone.
We are both administrators on the machine, and I know we can manually override the settings for a particular file/folder by changing the permissions, but I would like to set things up so that the Read/Write persmissions are assigned for both of us in the folder for that holds our business files.
It is only the 2 of us on the machine, we trust each other and need to have complete access to these many files that we share. I have archiveing programs running so I can get back old versions if we need that, so I'm not worried about us overwriting the file with bad info. I'm more concerned with us having duplicates that are not up to date in our respective user accounts.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. I tried to just set the persmissions of the containing folder with us both having read/write persmissions, and applied that to all containing elements.
RESULT -> This did nothing for newly created files or folders, they still had the default permissions of Read/Write for the creating User, Read for the default Group, Read for Everyone
2. I tried using Sandbox ( http://www.mikey-san.net/sandbox/ ) to set the inheritance of the folder using the methods laid out at http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=93742
RESULT -> Still this did nothing for newly created files or folders, they still had the default permissions of Read/Write for the creating User, Read for the default Group, Read for Everyone
3. I have set the umask to 002 ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2202 ) so that new files and folders have a default permission that gives the default group Read/Write permissions. This unfortunately changes the default for the entire computer, not just a give folder.
I then had to add wife's user account to the "Staff" group because for some reason her account was not included in that. I think this is due to the fact that her account was ported into the computer when we upgraded, where as mine was created new. I read something about that somewhere, but don't recall where now. I discovered what groups we were each in by using the Terminal and typing in "groups username" where username was the user I was checking on.
I added my wife to the "Staff" group, and both of us to the "Wheel" group using the procedures I found at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8765421&#8765421
RESULT -> I could create a new file using TextEdit and save it anywhere in my account and it would have the permissions: My Username - Read/Write, "Staff" or "Wheel" (depending on where I saved it) - Read/Write, Everyone - Read Only, as expected from the default umask.
I could then switch over to my wife's account, open the file, edited it, and save it, but then the permissions changed to: Her Username - Read/Write, (unknown) - Read/Write, Everyone - Read Only.
And when I switch back to my account, now I can open the file, but I can't save it with my edits.
I'm at my wits end with this, and I can believe it is impossible to create a common folder that we can both put files in to have Read/Write permissions on like a True Shared Folder. Anyone who has used windows knows what you can do with the Shared folder in that operating system, ie. Anyone with access can do anything with those files.
So if anyone can provide me some insight on how to accomplish what I really want to do here and help me get my system back to remove the things it seems like I have screwed up, I greatly appreciate it.
I tried to give as detailed a description of the problem and what I have done as possible, without being to long winded, but if you need to know anything else to help me, please ask, I certainly won't be offended!
Thanks In Advance!
Steve

Thanks again, V.K., for your assistance and especially for the very prompt responses.
I was unaware that I could create a volume on the HD non-destructively using disk utility. This may then turn out to be the better solution after all, but I will have to free up space on this HD and try that.
Also, I was obviously unaware of the special treatment of file creation by TextEdit. I have been using this to test my various settings, and so the inheritance of ACLs has probably been working properly, I just have been testing it incorrectly. URGH!
I created a file from Word in my wife's account, and it properly inherited the permissions of the company folder: barara - Custom, steve - Custom, barara - Read/Write, admin - Read Only, Everyone - Read Only
I tried doing the chmod commands on $TMPDIR for both of us from each of our accounts, but I still have the same behavior for TextEdit files though.
I changed the group on your shared folder to admin from wheel as you instructed with chgrp. I had already changed the umask to 002, and I just changed it back to 022 because it didn't seem to help. But now I know my testing was faulty. I will leave it this way though because I don't think it will be necessary to have it set to 002.
I do apparently still have a problem though, probably as a result of all the things I have tried to get this work while I was testing incorrectly with TextEdit.
I have just discovered that the "unknown user" only appears when I create the a file from my wife's account. It happens with any file or folder I create in her account, and it exists for very old files and folders that were migrated from the old computer. i.e. new and old files and foders have permissions: barara - Read/Write, unknown user - Read Only, Everyone - Read Only
Apparently the unknown user gets the default permissions of a group, as the umask is currently set to 022 and unknown user now gets Read Only permissions on new items, but when I had umask set to 002, the unknown user got Read/Write permissions on new items.
I realize this is now taking this thread in a different direction, but perhaps you know what might be the cause of this and how to correct or at least know where to point me to get the answer.
Also, do you happen to know how to remove users from groups? I added myself and my wife to the Wheel group because that kept showing up as the default group for folders in /Users/Shared
Thanks for your help on this, I just don't know how else one can learn these little "gotchas" without assistance from people like you!

I got a problem on installing iTune-64bit on WIndows 7, error message says the folder "itunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder.

I got a problem on running the iTune 64bit on Windows 7, error message says " the folder "itunes" is on a locked disk or your do not have write permission for this folder. Any one ran into this problem ?
It worked before.

Open Disk Utility via Spotlight or in the Applications folder stored within the Utilities folder. Close all applications and 3rd party software and choose "Repair Disk Permissions." Reboot the computer when finished, and test to see if the issue is resolved.

Read/Write Permissions for FAT32 SD card.

Hi all, after a lot of searching in similar threads I have found no answers to my question.
I have a MobileLite usb drive that takes various sizes of SD cards. I have inserted into it a 256MB regular sized SD card (that which you would find in cameras). I plugged it in to add a file to a folder I had labeled "apps" and the file was clicked and dragged into the folder on the SD card no problem. I disconnected it (safely) and then reconnected it to add another file. Now it is saying that the SD card is read only.
1) The switch on the SD card is NOT set to lock so I know thats not the problem.
2) I backed up all the files onto my desktop, and then went into Disk Utility to see if I could reformat it, but it wont let me.
3) Under "get info" there are no options to change the read/write permissions.
It is to my understanding that FAT32 should be native for both PC and MAC so I dont know whats going on here. Further more, its troubling me that I was able to write onto the SD card, and after unplugging and plugging back in, I now only have read access.
Any takes to this problem? Thanks!

You see that's the thing, I'm not using it for a picture camera. The camera prob wouldnt read the card anyway. I'm using it as a storage device for my Nintendo Wii, I have files that I put on there to use as channels for my Wii Home Screen.

Read/write permissions for company blog

Hi there -
I'm in the process of creating a blog for my company and need to set up specific permissions for each group involved. I've read through a lot of the help topics on the site, but I can't find the answer I'm looking for.
What I want to do is set it up so that the users in one group (lets call them Group B) can read/edit their posts, but before the posts are actually published to the live website, they need to be approved by an admin (Group A). Is there a way to do this in
SharePoint? A lot of the higher-ups in my company are extremely concerned about posts not being reviewed before they are published, even though only a handful of people would have access to the site in the first place.
If I missed something, I'm sorry! Thanks in advance for your help.
