Need permission from desktop mac os x#

Source files were from multiple Mac OS X computersДў. Your solution is indeed one I find compelling and would enjoy performing because I haven't been in a real command-line environment for over 20 years.ДЎ.

Need permission from desktop install#

My authority to do anything at all is controlled by non-tech guys who would bat many eyelashes if I tried to tell them I was going to install another operating system on the computer, albeit only to copy files. Thank you - I should have been more explicit. I wonder whether the Mac altering this out-of-context attribute is contributing to this complete inability to copy files, on which extensive work has already been done. The files are not encrypted but they are presented as if they were, and we keep getting warnings about the encryption being removed any time we try to make copies on the same machine. (Not that Mac users are idiots, but this one is.) Apparently there is an issue with Mac OS X setting a metadata attribute that is used by Windows computers to flag the presence of encryption. I don't understand why this is happening I have simply never encountered a scenario where windows files cannot be copied to (or used on) any other computer.ДЄnother wrinkle: the original files, before we processed them, we uploaded by an idiot Mac user. INSANELY, I just re-confirmed that taking ownership of the files does absolutely nothing.ДЄfter setting the ownership of the files to ADMINISTRATORACCOUNT-THISPC, I still get the error message 'You need permission from ADMINISTRATORACCOUNT-THISPC', essentially telling me that the current user account needs to give itself permission to copy the files. Are these permissions locked down for purposes of some under-the-hood OS security mechanism? (Ancillary question, really I need to get past this failure to copy files.) I am also wary about the consequences of expanding the user permissions on the source computer, as I have done.

Need permission from desktop password#

But (1) I am extremely leery of the idea of manually creating a user via the Registry, and (2) This auto-generated user account on the source computer that has a long complex username, presumably ALSO has a long complex password that I don't know.

Remembering stupid old Windows XP tricks, I am tempted to create an identically named user on the target computer. The target computer has a similarly named user in its own Registry, but judging by the error message, it's the user permissions on the *source* computer that are the problem (since it complains that I need permission from that named user on the source computer). Unfortunately the target computer still choked with the same error message.

Need permission from desktop full#

I checked ALLOW and FULL CONTROL (for both the user and the _Classes), rebooted the computer, reformatted the thumb drive, and then placed fresh copies of the files on the thumb drive after putting the new permissions in place. The above-named user did in fact exist in the Registry, along with an identical key with '_Classes' appended to the end. Help! Major thanks in advance to any major geeks who step up and attempt to help

Need permission from desktop how to#

I've seen a few Internet posts about this issue, which seems a recent development, but I have not seen anything explaining how to fix this issue. I had no issues freely copying them and manipulating them on the machine they were copied from, which was NOT the original machine where they were created or previously stored. I am simply not allowed to copy these files. Network copying is not really an option because the computer may have a latent virus infection (END OF THREAD, RIGHT?) and I don't want to expose other computers by letting them share files. Using a DVD is not desirable because it has to be formatted in FAT32 or some ANSI or other file format that won't accept the metadata for the files, which I absolutely need to preserve. Reassigning ownership of the files to the currently logged in administrator account, or any other administrator account, including a newly created one, has no effect.Дisabling user account control, either via the Control Panel or via editing the Registry, has no effect. I still cannot copy them from the intermediary. Attempting to make this assignment on the source computer, and THEN copy the files to the intermediary disc, also does nothing.

It is not possible to create a user with a name this long.ДЇixing the permissions so that 'Everyone' has 'Full Control' has no effect. It applies to virtually all items - at least all of them that are native email files. 'You need permission to perform this action Windows keeps complaining that I need permission from a ghost user that does not exist on any machine or network device or service in order to copy the files. I'm trying to copy files from an NTFS thumb drive.
