OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Set Write Privileges To Bootcamp (win 7)
May 30, 2012
I have bootcamp installed and Win7 64 bit on that partition. I can drag and drop files from WIn7 to the Mac Drive ... but I can not drag and drop from the MAC desktop to the BootCamp Drive or any folder. I have the drive set for sharing ... but the Privledges ar READ ONLY .. in the "get info" screen. but ti seems to fixate on problems installing WIN7 ... I'm well past that I just want to copy and paste from each drive backa nd forth!

I didn't get a chance to read all the features. So hoping someone will answer this one quickly with a source link of somekind. Will Snow Leopard support read/write capability to NTFS partitions?

I am sure many of you heard that Snow Leopard was supposed to have native read/write for NTFS partitions. Apple supported NTFS R/W in older SL builds but I guess decided to not to go with it for some reason, however support is still present. For this, you need to modify your /etc/fstab file to mount NTFS partitions for read and write.
First, uninstall NTFS-3G/Paragon if installed.
Open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
Type "diskutil info /Volumes/volume_name" and copy the Volume UUID (bunch of numbers).
Backup /etc/fstab if you have it, shouldn't be there in a default install.
Type "sudo nano /etc/fstab".......................

We're having trouble with a Time Machine backup. Twice in the last three days, the backups failed with the error message that the backup disk image is already in use.I noticed that the partition containing the backup sparse bundle is mounted twice in /Volumes -- /Volumes/X and /Volumes/X-1. The error message refers to /Volumes/X-2.The icon that appears on the desktop has not cleared as if it's still doing a backup.Looking at the sparsebundle directly gives me the "verificationstate" as 1 -- I recall reading that this is supposed to 0. Other values:
verificationdate == 2012-06-05, and VerificationExtendedSkip == false.Note that the backup drive is attached to another Mac still running Leopard. This is run fine for years over a gigabit network.

After upgrading (and having the install fail once, and then have the new mac version of blue screen of death) I have now noticed that the admin privileges on my account are now gone.I cant authenticate anything and my account is listed as "Standard" in the preferences pane.I came home from Florida last night and left the install disc in my dorm. Any way to do this without using the Password Reset on the dvd? Regardless, I dont think it would help, since there isnt even an admin account listed.

I am trying to change com.apple.backupd-auto.plist file, to set up TM back up interval and when I go to save it says "You do not have appropriate access privileges". I am using administrator account, also went into file info and changed permissions to read&write and still get that message. Am I missing something here or is ti something else? I used to be able to do that when used Tiger, with different files though.

I cannot write to my mac partition from my windows xp pro bootcamp installation. when it try to save a file from xp/bootcamp to my mac partition i get this error message:
"Cannot copy xx from xp: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use"
Bootcamp is formatted in hfs, and I am trying to use a program called MacDrive 6.1.5 but it doesn't seem to be working.

just started using Mac OS recently
AFAIK, I will be needing the snowleopard installation cd for the drivers in windows after I finish installing windows(xp). However, I bought this MBP from ebay so it came with leopard cd only but with snowleopard installed on the macchine.
So I am wondering if leopard cd works as well to obtain drivers for the windows?

If I do not currently own a copy of bootcamp, how would I go about aqcuiring this piece of software? You see, I reently got my iMac back from an Apple Store, and after reinstalling the Operating system, and installing bootcamp, it simply wasn't there anymore, it appeared that the application simply got rid of itself, but it doesn't matter why I don't hve it, back to the point. Could I download it from an official site? Or would I have to go to the apple store and ask for a disk of it, or for them to install it. Or am I simply out of luck and would have to purchase an entirely new apple computer to acquire bootcamp?Â

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), My lack of boot-camp is disturbing.

I have a unibody 13" MacBook running Leopard with Bootcamp running Windows Vista. I want to try and make the move this weekend to both Snow Leopard AND Windows 7.
First, what is my best plan of attack here? Will Snow Leopard install just fine and ignore my current 25gb partition of Vista currently set up? (i.e. not effect it at all). I would assume so but I'm not totally sure.
Second, what is the best way to go about installing Windows 7? I am a university student and I will be getting the $30 upgrade version of Windows 7. I've heard that doing a clean install is the best way to go instead of going over vista, so I hear I need to make an iso out of the upgrade version and use that?
I'm planning on doing Snow Leopard first, then Windows 7 second as this seems like the most logical order for me.

I have a copy of Snow Leopard on the way and am wondering what I will have to do? Does you need to back up everything, or does it "dynamically" install? Either way, will I need to do anything to keep my bootcamp partition working?
On another note, I currently have Vista Ultimate in bootcamp and want to change to Windows 7. Is there a way to "upgrade"? Or will I have to clean install and rebootcamp?

I find myself using Mac OS X Leopard less and less and windows almost all the time these days and on the occasion that I need leopard i find it suits me fine. I want to be as up to date with boot camp as possible but don't want to upgrade to snow leopard (I need the current version of Quicktime for my video editing software so cant risk going to QT-X) so can i install Bootcamp 3.0 without installing SL? I really want to be able to read my Mac drives (I need my itunes!!) from Windows.

I can install snow leopard clean on a fresh drive on my MBP with my upgrade disk. It is the disk that came as a drop-in dvd with the MBP, along with its original install disks. If I install windows using bootcamp assistant, do I use that disk when it asks for the drivers, etc. during installation? Or do I use my leopard install disks that came with my computer? Is the snow leopard bootcamp process any different from the process in leopard? I had windows Vista on there fine before upgrading my hard drive and going to snow leopard. Do I need to print out those 25 pages again?

I'm by no means very tech savvy. When I tried to install Windows XP (Home Edition) on my Macbook Pro via bootcamp, I experienced a bit of trouble. I partitioned the hard drive as instructed, then inserted the Windows XP installation disk and hit continue. This is when the computer more or less took over and started doing it's own thing. After a while the screen went blue and the windows install prompts were flashing across the screen. At this point I'm still thinking all is good; I accepted the terms of use etc.
However, once the install was complete, it kept asking me to insert the Windows XP Home edition CD. Even though it was already in the disk drive. I tried to hit continue but it kept taking me back to the screen asking for the disk to be inserted. Eventually I quit out of the install (upon doing so the screen prompted me the install did not work), ejected the windows install cd, and restarted my computer back into osx. Is the newest version of osx, snow leopard, not compatible with microsoft xp? Do I need to purchase vista or windows 7 if I am to run boot camp successfully?

I'm not completely sure how time machine works, can I use it to backup everything on my computer, including applications, bookmarks, system configurations. The reason I ask is I need to re install snow leopard because of something that went wrong during a bootcamp setup, and I'm thinking that re-installing the OS might work.

I have Windows 7 running in a bootcamp partitiion with Snow Leopard on my iMac. If I upgrade to Lion, will the partition be left alone and function as before? I cannot lose appliations and data stored in Windows in the bootcamp partition.

I have a mid-2007 MacBook Pro, model A1226, with 4GB RAM. The optical drive has always been a little off, in that CD's written using the MacBook Pro sometimes can't be read on other systems, but it's never had problems reading CDs/DVDs. When I had Fusion installed on this machine I was able to install Windows XP and Windows 7 using the optical drive.Â
I want to do a Bootcamp install of Windows, either XP or 7. I have two original WinXP Pro SP2 installation disks (retail, not OEM) and one set of original Win7 Ultimate installation disks, again retail.Â
I did a clean install of Snow Leopard after reformatting (erasing) the hard disk, and ran software update. Then I ran Boot Camp Assistant and created a bootcamp partition. When I insert an installation disk and click on Start..., after a moment it ejects the disk. Over and over. I repeated this many times, with all of the install disks, and the results were the same. Â
Except once, and only once, it actually started installing WinXP. Per the instructions I had WinXP format the bootcamp partition, but the install hung near the end where it was trying to save settings. Apparently this is a common scenario that some people think is related to having a USB keyboard and mouse connected, but it still hung for me even if I connected a wired keyboard and mouse. Â
Lots of reports of similar problems on the web, and I tried a number of suggestions I found here and elsewhere, including:Attached an external DVD drive. The install DVD doesn't get ejected, but I still get the folder/question mark and failure to reboot for all the installation DVDs. I suspect that my model MBP doesn't handle booting from external optical drives very well, if at all. Make copies of the install DVDs. Although the copies seem to work the same as the originals on my iMac, they produce the same results using both internal and external optical drives.Made a number of different bootable USB sticks, but never found a way to have the required guid partition table at the same time as the Windows boot image, so they weren't bootable on my MacBook Pro.Installed rEFIt and tried using that to boot from USB (still not recognized as a bootable device) and from internal and external drives containing the original or copied installation DVDs. Still get the folder/question mark icon.Â
Generally after clicking on Start Installation the system won't boot from the internal drive, but sometimes holding Option works; other times it just refuses to boot until I've tried it multiple times or booted from the Snow Leopard install disk and adjusted the boot record.Â
Supposedly listening to the drive and tapping on the case works, but not for me. I haven't yet tried loosening the mounting brackets because I'm still looking for a T6 driver, but that's another common suggestion.Â

I was trying to write xmp data to my photo's, when I got errors on photo's in certain folders. ?Writing XMP Metadata? did not complete successfully. It seems all jpegs in a few particular folders have generate this error. I then noticed all those files were lacking a creation date. When trying to copy the "image taken on" date to the "creation date", using A Better Attributes, I didn't appear to have the right permissions.
Now this is, to me at least, the weirdest part: when I open Get Info on any of the images, it says "You can only read", even though all privileges are set to Read & Write (screenshot attached). The folder itself says "You can read and write". So far I've only seen this on files/folders on an external hard drive, formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). It's a WD My Book, connected via USB through a hub. Anyone ever seen this before? Is there anything I could try to fix this?
