Thanks Jim. On 10-10-07 9:47 PM, Jim Emery wrote: Hi Walter, Tina is correct. If the permissions in the Get Info window appear as custom, this indicates that ACLs are in effect. You can check this in the Terminal using the following commands: cd /Volumes ls -le Access Control Lists provide more granular control of permissions than POSIX permissions. Clearing ACLs is one of Apple's suggested methods for file system troubleshooting. On Oct 7, 2010, at 6:20 PM, gifutiger wrote: Greetings Tina, WOW removing all 'ACL's may not be the best thing to do, i.e. Technically seen, an ACL is a list of individual rights which can be attached to a file system object. The ACL can either be empty -in this case, only the conventional POSIX permissions apply-, or it can contain one or more objects called Access Control Entries (ACEs). An Access Control Entry includes the following information: to which users does this entry apply (this can be an individual user or a user group)? does this entry allow or deny access? which right in particular is allowed or denied, respectively? how should this entry be inherited from a folder to the contents of this folder? So what you've done is made all files and application available to all users that can log into your platform. Clearing ACLs will not make all files and applications available to all users that can log onto you platform. Clearing ACLs still leaves POSIX permissions in effect. If you were unable to make changes in the get info window then you were not logged in as the platform owner. As the owner has all privileges. Or sometime you may not be able to make direct changes but need to either add or delete one or more of those listed in the ownership listing. If your log-in name isn't listed then you need to touch the + button and add your name. If you are able to unlock the lock then you should have privileges to add users. The important thing is to make the Ownership of the locked disks the same as the disk that you are logged as that is your main access point. ACLs cannot be defined or altered in the Finder. Trying to change the permissions of files and folders with ACLs set will result in exactly what you experienced. To remove ACLs, you need to use the terminal. They can be removed on individual files or folders as well as recursively.

i am locked out
Both of my External FireWire Drives were powered on and their icon's were on the desktop ( iMac/3.06GHz/Snow Leopard ) when i decided for some unknown reason to eject ( Command + I ) both drives to do a apple software update/installation. Upon restarting after the update was completed both external FireWired drives came back on the desktop BUT both had a small lock in the lower left hand corner of the drives icons. Those two drives can not be opened because the message is that i don't have permission to see the contents. Command+I shows that i have Custom access. When I tried to change those settings they revert to Custom access. I ticked on the Ignore ownership on this volume but still locked out. I really need help because the alternative at this time is to erase and lose hours and hours of audio/video projects on one of the two drives. I have tried DiskWarrior 4.2, TechToolPro 5.x, Apple'sDiskUtility by repairing permissions, unplugged the fire wire cable and re-plugged the cable, powered off and back on. No luck at all. Is there any Utility or a terminal command to unlock those drives ? Suggestions/help required please.

Keyspan USB Twin Serial Adapter

Re: Leopard?
I always thought that Apple installers run a check to ascertain if the OS software can be installed to the selected hard drive ? Just now the Leopard is being installed to a FireWired drive with a QS G4 ( 933MHz) hosting the drive. No complaints from the installer. When you say slow and performance in the same breath, i have an 8500 with a Sonnet G4 card running the Tiger via XPOSTfacto and it takes a year of Sundays to load web pages. Albeit, midi/audio applications run with no problems ( if you keep the audio plugs down to a just a few ).

Re: iMac G3
Just started to use my new iMac G3 and one of the several annoying items is the sound volume that I can only adjust by opening up the Control Panel : Sound. Now that's a real pain in the studio to always have to adjust the playback levels when using midi/audio applications. Is there an application that will place an control in the menu bar to allow adjusting the sound playback levels ? ( No problem with setting and leaving the alarm levels to near zero,. ) -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Printing inquiry
I've done #3 for years except for the cartridges that have to have a chip reset gizmo. I usually do about 6 refills and then buy a new or replacement cartridge.

I have two ink-jets, a Canon Pixma iP6220D and an HP Photosmart C4400 series (as well as a laser printer), and have been finding it increasingly difficult to get replacement third-party cartridges that work, especially with the Canon. My choices seem to be, in descending order of cost: 1. Branded cartridges 2. Third-party cartridges 3. Refilling myself, by hand As we all know, #1 is very expensive, but of course the manufacturers make their money on the ink, not the machines. #2 is as noted above. Do you-all have recommendations on whether it makes any sense to go to #3, which I have never done, or just suck it up and go to #1? As always, my thanks in advance! *** Bill Spencer in Maryland IMac Core Duo 2.4 ghz/2 g RAM/Snow Leopard IMac Core Duo 1.83 ghz/1 g RAM/Snow Leopard -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
