OS X :: Volume Permissions ?
May 9, 2009I managed to set myself to only read. How do I fix this volume so I can Read & Write. Clicking the + and adding myself does not add myself to the list.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Change Permissions On Volume After Migration
Aug 30, 2014On attached volumes I cannot save files. I recently used OS X migration assistant to move to my new iMac but the volumes that I used on the old system will not allow me to save to them (the os says it's a permissions problem). Short of renaming the new computer the same name as the old one.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Time Machine Corrupted Startup Volume - How To Reset Permissions
Jul 1, 2012Running 10.7.4, MacBookPro Mid 2010.
After hardware failure (read heads on HD gave out. AppleCare replacement of HD. Third party data recovery and reinstall on my new HD.) I connected new Ext HD for Time Machine, and Time Machine has corrupted my startup volume.
Took to the repair shop and they said the Time Machine preferences file was corrupted, which left all my system drive data in a read-only state after backup. They trashed the pref file, and reset the permissions/read-only flags on my startup volume.
1) How do I reset the file permissions myself? (so I can nuke my Time Machine backup, manually back everything up, and manually recreate my entire system drive?)
2) Do you think since the data recovery place (Apple Authorized BTW) rewrote all my original data to the new HD, some "random" corruptions were copied over? Or is this a problem with Time Machine? (Which is why I want to do a manual reinstall/restore.)

Oct 26, 2007I am getting this when repairing permissions : "Warning: SUID file System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired."

OS X :: Repair Permissions Isn't Repairing Permissions
Mar 29, 2009Using OS X 10.5.6
When running Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, it reports that there are errors and that it's fixed them but if I run it again, the same errors keep appearing.
I've noticed that the current permissions on the errors are lrw-rw-rw- which I assume means that they are symbolic links and not the actual files which Disk Utility is expecting. Any idea what's going on?
Applications :: Control ITunes Volume (not System Volume) From Apple Aluminum Keyboard?
Oct 20, 2009I have a Mac Pro and not too long ago I swapped from a fat, heavy and filthy white Apple Keyboard to a new skinny silver one. I like it, and also love that the F7-9 Skip Back-Pause/Play-Skip Forward keys work for iTunes, even when another app is active (what's the word I'm looking for - in focus or whatever). But I use Optical output, so the volume keys (F10-12) don't do anything. I know that, when iTunes is the active app, I can command-+/- to change the volume, but I'd love to be able to map the F10-12 keys to do that - without having to have iTunes active (playing, but not the active window).

Mar 9, 2010Recently, my newer (last year) iMac probably running 10.5 started speaking and wont shut up... there is no obvious way to turn it off. I usually figure problems out myself but there are no system preferences that effect it. I even changed the voice in preferences as a test and it is still the same guy reading everything clicked in all applications except when I am in system preferences so far. Usually when I run into a dead end like this there is some mystery key command that works... anyone know?I also noticed that some of the top line (f) keys are not doing what they are supposed to any longer as well... volume up opens the window for expose & spaces it looks like and does not control the volume monitor brightness controls are not working either... I went to the key and mouse preferences and set the key strokes to default and still the same.
View 6 Replies View RelatedOS X :: New HD Not Showing Up In Disk Utility - This Volume Is The Startup Volume And Cannot Be Erased
Aug 10, 2009 I have my imac apart right now and replaced the internal HD as it was not working. I assume the problem is the new one is not formatted with OSX, so from the INSTALL CD I opened the disk utility and see only one drive called "MEDIA".? Or is that just part of the install dvd that looks like a HD? In the system it shows as not formatted, 0 bytes. When selected in Partition it says :
"This voume is the startup volume and cannot be erased. Size 7.1 GB The disk is not writable and cannot be partitioned"
So i guess thats not my new HD I am seeing? Other than that there is only the two OSX install CD icons.
OS X :: Linking Keyboard Volume Control To App Volume Controls?
Dec 14, 2008I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this- it is a pita to adjust separate volume controls on everything. If I adjust the volume on the keyboard, the volume slider in itunes doe snot move. If I set the volume on itunes with a mouse, then come home and use the volume controls on my keyboard, I have to also manually adjust the slider in itunes. Anyway to link the two?

Aug 23, 2014I recently decided to increase the volume of my bootcamp disk, which I had done in the past using a method which ultimately made the disk unrecognizable. This time around I used Winclone to create an image of my bootcamp disk. I was not sure exactly how Winclone worked and to be safe I decided to keep the Bootcamp disk I had, and I created a third partition of a larger volume to which I restored the bootcamp image. Everything worked fine obviously, and the image was restored correctly to the new larger volume. The dilemma is I had two bootcamp disks, so I erased the smaller volume because I no longer needed it. Currently I am trying to restore this empty space within the main disk to the Macintosh HD. Disk util looks like:
I know I can just create a backup of the macintosh HD, another image of the bootcamp disk, and format the disk and start over, but I am hoping there is an easier way to go about this; considering there has been a method engineered such that I can just drag that corner of the mac HD and voila I have instantly more storage after applying, it seems viable that there is something that can be done rather than formatting my disk, unless the necessity for that of course was overlooked.

OS X :: NAS, Permissions And NFS
Nov 19, 2009I'm really frustrated at the moment ! I'm running a Mac Pro w/ Snow Leopard at my office and we've recently got a NAS box (Icy Box NAS 4220-B) to hold our media files (Lots of uncompressed SD/HD video)...I copied across all our video in their respective files and at present the NAS is shared via Samba to my Mac. However I'm getting a lot of permissions errors... I can't delete folders or add new files to certain folders. Somebody advised me NFS was a better way to share as I could reset or change these permissions but I'm having a real difficulty mounting the device via NFS. It's enabled on the device and I've mapped it as a share in disk utility but no joy mounting the drive in the finder this way!
View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Trying To Get Owner Permissions On Used Mac
Dec 5, 2008I just bought my first Mac a month ago, and have since completely ignored my girlfriend for this new lover. I bought a MBA Rev A, used with a ton of software still loaded on it. The problem is, the guy I bought it from was a Korean exchange student, and set the comp with Korean as the native language. I did a password reset to get the language change, then set myself up as an Admin account. The problem I have here is that the software loaded on this laptop is awesome, but I can't update any of it because I don't have owner permissions.
I understand the only way to get owner permissions is to do an Erase and Install of Leopard, but if I do that, then I lose all the software. This laptop came loaded with Adobe CS3, Parallels, Office for Mac, Toast 9 Titanium, and I think there might be another program. My question here is, is there any way to gain access to these programs, by using a copying software to make disk images of them, or by simplifying copying down all of the Product Keys, and reinstalling the programs from a hard disk.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Installing App Permissions ?
Jun 29, 2009 I have a question about installing downloaded apps from a normal user account. In particular from disk images.
Lets say I download a new app that is contained in a disk image. The disk image is mounted, and opened. At this point I either drag the app to the application alias provided by the developer, or straight to the application folder. Since I'm in a normal user account, I'm prompted to authenticate with a administrator user name and password. I do this and the app package is transfered to the application folder.Now, if I use "Get info" to view the permissions for the app I just installed, it will show my normal user as the owner with read & write permissions.
I've said all this to ask, if I need to authenticate moving the app to the applications folder, should not the ownership of the app package now belong to the administrator account that authenticated?
It would appear to me the authentication is only to move the app bundle to a location that my normal user has no write permission. If this is correct, why would my normal user still be the owner with write permission on the app bundle? It's like having write permission on a file, that is in a folder where I have no write permissions. Would there be any merit in manually changing the permissions of the app bundle?

Nov 20, 2010I have a an old G4 running Mac 10.3.5 that I need to update to 10.3.9 to run a program. The machine has a long boot time so I'm worried it might die soon.
Anyways I am wondering if I should click "repair permissions" and/or "verify permissions" before I do the 10.3.9 combo update. Will this increase the chances that the 10.3.9 update will not cause problems? Or can repairing permissions itself cause trouble?
I have never repaired or verified permissions on this machine.
OS X :: Changed HD Permissions - No Access
Aug 26, 2010I have 5 partitions on 3 harddisks. While installing Snow Leopard on one of them I Lost access to ALL of them. By using the Installer DVD I managed to fix the Snow Leopard one but the rest are locked. I can't change permissions even as an admin, tried Terminal, nothing works, I'm getting desperate (and tired-It's 2:20 in Sweden now). The symbol of the HD in the info shows a HD with a padlock on it! Is there a Terminal command to unlock it? I have never used Terminal until this happend. If I don't reply at once I'm probably in bed but I hope somebody has helped me when I wake up.

Aug 31, 2010My MacBook has had song big problems, and all I can get it to do is boot up with the Mac OS X install disk, or the DVD I put ubuntu on earlier. Otherwise I get the grey screen with a folder and question mark flashing on the screen. I am unable to reinstall OS X because of the error, so we (I and a guy on this site) have worked out I need to backup my files using ubuntu, format the computer and then reinstall the OS.
I don't have an external hard drive, but I found ubuntu allows me to use my iPhone in the same way. I have backed up most of my files now, but I cannot access the main folders;
Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Library, Movies, Music or Pictures and I get the following message:
"The Folder contents could not be displayed.
You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "_____".
Another problem is to put these files back onto my newly formatted MacBook, I will have to access my iPhone using ubuntu, and I can't put items onto the Macintosh HD because I get the message; "Error while copying to '(name)'.
OS X :: Changed Permissions For Entire HDD
Sep 20, 2010I right clicked on my Macintosh HD icon, chose get info, then changed permission to read & write, and applied it to all enclosed items. Then I restarted my MacBook and it wouldn't boot. It would just hang on the Apple logo boot screen with the spinning thing. So I did some research online and saw that I would have to wipe my whole hard drive and start over since I applied read & write to all enclosed items. I put the OSX disk in, and booted to it. Before I went to install a fresh copy of OSX, I tried to repair disk permissions instead. To my delight, it worked. I was able to boot like normal. But now I am having some strange problems.
-When I load Firefox, the bouncing icon will be all jumpy.
-When I log into Skype, the log in sound will only play halfway.
-The most weird and major problem is the no setting will save at all. If I add a new bookmark in either Safari or Firefox, then quit and reopen the program, it will not be there. If I change my home page, the setting won't save after I quit out. If I remove something from my OSX dock, then log out then log back in, it will be back.
