"You can only read" when Read & Write assigned

The "Backups.backupdb" automatically created on my external hard drive for Time Machine is the folder in question.
I am changing the icons on my EHD folders and it has worked fine for every other folder, because I created them myself of course.
There is no problem with the Time Machine folder and all my backups are perfectly accessible and everything.
All I want to be able to do is change the icon from the blue folder but I have this problem that I can read only even after I've assigned read and write permissions to myself :/
Can anybody help?

Never log in as root. Do not enable it. There's nothing you can't do from the Terminal with admin rights.
Open the Terminal. Enter the following text, or copy/paste it from here:
sudo rm -R
Do not press enter yet. Put a space after the -R, then drag and drop the folder into the Terminal window. It's path and name will be added to the end of your command. Now press enter. Terminal will ask for your admin password. Type it in and press enter. The folder should be removed.

  • When try to view a movie with a external reader it makes a weird noise at time and other times works fine I think I read somewhere theat you can only use thereader that came with your computer

    When I put a movie DVD in my external reader it makes a strange noise and at times it gets hung up I have to force quit it and then I can eject the dvd
    I believe I read some wherre that you can only use the reader that came with my computer

    That sounds like the drive is faulty. CD and DVD will have seperate heads, and burn and read will be different lasers in each. If it's still in warranty I'd exchange it.

  • Iomega "You can only read" permissions issue

    How
    How do I change "Sharing & Permissions:" from "You can only read" to Read & Write on my backup Iomega like the rest of my mac?

    Open the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the Repair Disk command on it. If the issue persists, add yourself in the Sharing & Permissions section.

  • SP2013 Bug Report: Health Reports - You can only specify the READPAST lock in the READ COMMITTED or REPEATABLE READ isolation levels.

    There appears to be an error when trying to view Health Reports from Central Administration. A simple fix within a SharePoint Stored Procedure fixes the problem. I get the error message "You can only specify the READPAST lock in the READ COMMITTED or
    REPEATABLE READ isolation levels." when just trying to click "View Health Reports" --> Go in CA.
    I have found the same problem in some blog posts which leads me to believe this is a bug:
    Problems Viewing Health Reports in SharePoint 2013
    From the blog post "I managed to work around it by altering the
    proc_GetSlowestPages stored procedure and commenting out the
    WITH (READPAST) line. "
    This also worked for me. It would be great if a fix could be released for this problem as it seems to cause other problems as well (site analytics freezes).

    Hi Dennis
    Hope you had found the hotfix and installed it.
    For the benefit of others who visit this thread SharePoint Server 2013 Client Components SDK hotfix package addresses this issue.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2849962

  • You can only specify the READPAST lock in the READ COMMITTED or REPEATABLE READ isolation levels

    Hi, I have a piece of code that works fine in SSMS as T-SQL. When I put the T-Sql inside a SP, I get the error :
    You can only specify the READPAST lock in the READ COMMITTED or REPEATABLE READ isolation levels
    The script starts is as follows (only select)
    SET NOCOUNT ON
    Set Transaction Isolation Level Read Committed
    Set Deadlock_Priority Low
    Select......
    From MyTable WITH (NOLOCK)
    GROUP BY .....
    Order BY ....
    works fine as I said in SSMS as T-SQL but the SP generates the following
    Msg 650, Level 16, State 1, Procedure usp_TotalMessages, Line 15
    You can only specify the READPAST lock in the READ COMMITTED or REPEATABLE READ isolation levels.
    By the way, when it says line 15, from where we should start counting, is it from The USE DB statement which includes comments as well as Set ANSI....or should we start counting from the Alter PRocedure statement
    Thanks in advance

    Set Transaction Isolation Level Read Committed
    Set Deadlock_Priority Low
    Select......
    From MyTable WITH (NOLOCK)
    GROUP BY .....
    Order BY ....
    First you define transactionlevel = "Read Committed", then you use a query hint "NOLOCK" which is equivalent to "Read Uncommitted"; so what do you want now, committed or uncommitted, you have to decide.

  • HT1665 Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPads running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.

    Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPad Air or iPad Mini Retina running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.

    Due to a lot of bad press that Apple was getting due to burnt chargers, shocked users (the electrical kind...), etc., due to the lousy third party El Cheapo brand generics, as of iOS 7 the cable must be Apple-certified before the iGadget deigns to use it for charging purposes. Unfortunately (for Apple) the old traditional USB to 30-pin cable is just that, a straight piece of wire, and can't be validated by the iGadget. But lo & behold, the new gear uses the new Lightning cable, which contains an embedded chip that CAN be validated and lousy imitations disabled from use.

  • I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

    Are you using the YouTube widget in iWeb?  If so it doesn't work any more. Not since MobileMe was discontinued.
    You need to get the full embed code from YouTube and use the standard HTML snippet.

  • *"You can only assign one enhancement set per client"*

    Hi Experts,
    I have created one enhancement set key by using SM34 and assigned to Client. I did some enhancements on my Account management screen.
    Today i wanted to do some enhancements on opportunity screen, so i have created one more enahancement set key (SM34) and tried to assign it to my client by using SM30 by clicking on "New Entries". It says "You can only assign one enhancement set per client", so what exactly this means, cant i assign more than one enhancment set key for each client?
    If that is the case , whatever enahancments i do now and in future , Can i use the same enhancement key for all my enhancements? Will this create any problem/affect in future for my past enhancements on that particular enhancment set key?
    Else,What If everytime i create a New enhancement set key and if i replace it with the old one for the same client in SM30?
    Hope my question/ doubt is not confusing.....
    Thanks & Regards
    Rohan

    Hi Carsten,
    Thanks for your reply, it really cleared my doubt.
    But one more thing, i have already created 2 enhancement sets. i wanted to delete one, from where shall i start , can i delete it directly from SM34 itself or do i need to delete those enhancments in workbench and then table entries finally enhancement set?
    Sorry Carsten, I am a beginner so some questions may be really strange.
    And one more question.
    When i enhance a component, it asks for Application name where i have given Zname,
    then Page : For page can i use the same repository.xml or do i need to choose a different name??
    Thanks & Regards

  • When my phone turns on it goes to the normal screen for 1 second and then it gets very large so you can only see a few icons

    When I turn my iphone on, the usual main icon screen shows for about a second and then it blows up so you can only see a few icons at a time.  How do you turn this off?

    Your phone might be on Zoom somehow, try just the simple "gestures" fix
    Double tap with 3 fingers on the screen, then drag down. That should at least zoom out. If that does not work, try scrolling through the screen, but using 3 fingers instead of 1.
    From there you should be able to access Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom>OFF
    Hope this helps

    I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.  
    "Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
    The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
    What do they mean by published albums?  I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
    I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
    Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
    Confused and frustrated...

    Give this a try:  apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

  • Infopath submit - how to hide - Save as dialog box - You can only save this file to the current site

    HI,
    I have a infopath form. In the submit options, i have used the below:
    submit options -
    sharepoint document library
    Data connection - Sharepoint Library Submit
    Doc library - lib location
    File name: concat("User Info - ", ResourceName, "-", PersonalID)
    Allow overwrite if file exists is checked.
    When I try to save a record, I am getting a popup:
    Save As:
    You can only save this file to the current site
    File Name: textbox
    save location: doc lib.
    save, cancel buttons.
    How to override this save as option(save as option should not be shown to user), and save the file using the file name mentioned?
    Thanks

    Are you clicking "Save" when you're using the form or "Submit"??
    You should be using "Submit" and it will ... submit your form to the document library with the file name you specified.
    To disable the "Save" button, click on "File" then "Form Options". Under the "Filler Features" area you can uncheck the box beside "Save and Save As". Click OK then re-publish your form.

  • How you can find out when someone using your icloud account

    how you can find out when someone using your icloud account

    Someone on a different device only needs to sign with your iCloud ID and password in order to access your account, they don't need to answer any security questions if they have your credentials.  If you think this happened, you should change your iCloud password as explained here: iCloud: Change your iCloud password.  After you change the password, you will need to change it on your devices by going to Settings>iCloud>Account and entering the new password.
    If you want to inquire further about this, contact the Apple account security team: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

  • So is it true that you can only purchase a plan now for photoshop and no longer buy an actual disc or any software as a one time buy?

    it has been awhile since i had a new copy of photoshop and when i go to look for one to buy it seems adobe has now made it so you can only subscribe to a plan? ugh. seems like i will end up spending even more money that way

    You can still purchase a license for Photoshop CS6 700 USD new/200 USD upgrade for the Standard Edition.
    Adobe has stopped distribution via boxed dvd-rom. It's all download now.
    Be aware that with the exception of bugfixes and OS upgrades, there are no updates.
