an error occurred applying attributes to the file

When I try to open some pictures, the system denies me access, I tried their decryption but get an error message and it says access denied. This has happened since the reinstallation of Vista, e efiles are stored on an external drive.

In Windows Explorer on the root of the drive, right click and click Properties.  Go to the Security tab.  Add your name to the list of authorized users and give you all the rights and don't forget to check the box to apply it to all the files and subdirectories as well.  Then click Advanced and do essentially the same thing in the special permissions section.  Make sure that the special permissions section does not deny access to all user - if so, change it to allow access (at least read only, but no matter what type of access will make - if rejected, this entry overrides everything else).  While in the Advanced section, click the property tab and you make the owner of the car (and new check box to apply to all files and subdirectories as well).  This should solve the problem.  If you are unable to perform the tasks (you're stuck on a file or folder), try to change the folder or file directly and once done restart the whole process.  If you can't, move it temporarily to the reader until you have done the rest and then go back and try again to change - especially if it's the folder or file you are talking about.  If you still have problems with this file/folder and the following articles didn't help, after return by explaining exactly what happens or does not happen when you try to change it and I'll see if I can identify a reason and help fix you.

Here is some additional information about the permissions and ownership in the case where you have problems or you want more details about procedures:

To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

I hope this helps.

  • A network error occurred trying to read the file c: WINDOWS\Installer\iTunes.msi

    I'm not able to go to iTunes or watch videos on my program Corel due to an error in Quick Time. It keeps telling me that I need to improve my Quick time and when I tried it wouldn't let me so I tried to remove it and couldn't because of an error and then I came here to get the Windows Cleanup utility and who eventually removed the program out of my control panel and I thought that would fix it but it didn't and now it gives me this message. What should I do now?

    Ok!
    This problem occurs in all applications in all environments such as Windows XP, Amiga and Windows 7. I have only my current computer with Windows 7 64 bit related to the problem. After following suggestions to cure the problem without success, I read the error message that displayed the MSI being read in C:\Windows\Installer. There is no such MSI placed in this directory. SO to solve the problem, you must put some Apple msi installation which gives the error message in the C:\Windows\Installer directory. Just drag it directly into the directory. Do not use any subdirectory. If your don't have a copy of the MSI, you can extract it from the EXE installer with a program like WinRar. My problem was with iTunes to bleed the system looked like this C:\Windows\Installer\iTunes64.msi. Run the MSI file or the original from Apple download. It worked for me as expected if you give it a try.

  • There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired.

    Greetings,

    I searched the forums, and this mistake has been examined in the context of how to treat a damaged PDF file.

    My question is a little different. The company that I am working has a tool to create what we call "knowledge base articles", i.e. product XML authoring with us help topics. They used this tool from 2008. Files can be attached to a topic. The XML files and attached PDF files is stored in a SQL database. Using the TOC Panel or the search function, relevant topics are retrieved.

    When there is an attached PDF, users can view the PDF in the browser or download the file and open it locally.

    The knowledge base has been moved from an environment of database SQL 2005 in Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6 for an environment database of SQL 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.

    Now that we have the following problem: in some subjects the downloaded PDF can't be opened and one error

    "There is an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired. "is displayed. The curious is that some PDF files published this error, while others open without a problem. Source file all PDF files open without a hitch before they are downloaded.

    Any advice or pointers would be very appreciated.

    TIA, Donna

    Donna,.

    as you have probably read in a lot of discussions on this matter, this error message is usually correct, and the PDF file is damaged. As for how it gets damaged, it's something you need to know by poking around in your system. Here are a few general things that always apply when working with corrupt files:

    The first thing I would do is open such a file corrupted in a text editor such as NotePad to see what it actually contains. Any valid PDF file must begin with '% PDF -' followed by a version number. If you don't see that in the first line, then you are not dealing with a PDF file and you know why you do not get the file saved in your knowledge base.

    If this string is there, then you know that there a PDF file and the issue is somewhere in this file, and is where it gets much more complex. You will need a good understanding of the PDF specification to parse the file to see what is wrong with him.

    If you're lucky, you'll actually have a file of length zero (which means also no PDF header). No valid PDF file cannot be zero bytes long. Your second chance case would you find in fact an HTML error in this file (instead of PDF content), that tells you the reason for the problem (but again, this depends on your system).
