cannot change read only files on photos

l downloaded photos on a notebook to windows 7 while outdoors. When l arrived at the House and has moved to my computer - vista windows, that all the photos were developed as read only files. There is no check in the file read only to uncheck the box. How can I edit my photos? on both computers, it is read-only. Thank you, Lisa

l have no problems posting photos, but l cannot solve, etc. all cultures it is read-only. in the box to uncheck properties did not have a tick in it. l do you usually uncheck the box, but there is nothing there. LM not really computer smart, is there another way to do?

====================================

Thanks for the info.

I assume you are using the photo gallery Windows for editing?

The same problem occurs if you open and edit a photo in paint?

  • Cannot modify READ ONLY file attributes using the administrator account

    I tried the windows Explorer and a custom program called Directory Opus. I tried to create several administrator accounts, but not luck.

    I can't work with this existing problem.

    I need a solution.

    I have exactly the same problem.  Following the steps above did not work, folders/subfolders unchangeable rest.  I am the owner of the folder and subfolders.  I don't know yet how they became Read-Only to start.  Read-only on the individual files setting works correctly.  Changing the settings of file does not work.

    IMPORTANT EDIT:

    According to a message from the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    You cannot view or change the read-only or system attributes
    To summarize, Windows does not include system or read-only folders settings (he was aware of these properties on the FILES however).  Individual applications that you use cannot ignore the State of read-only on a folder and can give an error.  In my situation, an application was trying to create a new file in a folder that has been marked read-only and honored the RO parameter and refuses to try to create the new file.

    To actually change these attributes, properties menu will not work.  The KB source:

    • If you click apply changes to this folder only , the read-only attribute is changed for all files in the folder. However, the read-only attribute is not changed for the folder, its subfolders or files in its subfolders. If you click apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files , the read-only attribute is changed for all files in the folder and all files in the subfolders. However, the read-only attribute is not changed for the folder or its subfolders.

    To change these properties, the user must start a Terminal command line and execute the changes by hand, for example, this command:

    • attrib - r + s c:\test

    .. What will remove the READ ONLY parameter and apply the SYSTEM setting in the folder.  Once more, change the properties of files (including files in subfolders) works as expected with the right click - Properties-> Security menu.

  • Load STL geometry cannot load read only file

    I use the geometry VI STL load to load a 3D model that I use in a scene.  A constant path pointing to the file is connected to the entrance of the template of the VI.  If the file is read-only, the VI does not load, but opens a file dialog box instead.  If the file is not read only, everything seems to work properly.  This is expected behavior?  I don't think not that just load the file must depend on whether or not it is read-only.  Is it possible to use a single reading file in this situation?

    Hi cbfsystems,

    You are right that this is not the expected behavior of this particular vi.  It is a known problem that is aware of our R & D department.  For your reference, the number associated with this question is #281409.

  • Photos appear as read only files

    cannot remove the read-only my vista jointsdans.

    I can't remove the read-only my files (at least in the photos).  It is provided with a solid box, not a check mark and I can't remove it.  I need to edit and print photos, and I don't know what to do.  The only software I have installed is a HP printer wireless on my home network.

    Hi HeatherSt,
     
    -Have you noticed this change after you install HP printer software?
    -Were you able to edit photos without any problems before?
    Is there another account administrator user on your computer?
     
    Note: It is possible that change a read-only file can cause a program that relies on the file to stop working properly, so be sure that it's okay to change a read-only file before you proceed.
     
    Cannot change files read-only, but they can be copied, moved, renamed, or deleted. Therefore, try to Rename the file or perform one of these operations and check if that helps.

    The reading box only file says that for an indefinite period. It's a tri-state checkbox. Read has no effect on the behavior of a file that records cannot be read-only. The box does not read only bit on a file.

  • Backup error ReadyNas DUO - «read only file system»

    Hello community,

    I hope you can help me with a problem I'm having with my ReadyNAS Duo (v1) running Raidiator 4.1.14. At night, it is running a backup job that copies a file from a computer on the local network to the NAS itself. What often happens is after a reboot for a while, things work sometimes days, sometimes weeks. But then I get e-mails warning that contains journal like entries:

    CP: cannot create the file ' / backup/projecten/./CAM_strip/01_v0.1.JPG': read-only file system

    Usually this warning is given for each file (which means thousands) so that emails are big enough. And obviously the backup has not been made. I tried to solve this problem and sought similar questions on this forum and on the web, but nothing helped. I can't identify what is the cause.

    Maybe you could help me the grace to some of the run settings, I can tinker too. I guess it has something to do with the ownership and rights to access these files and folders.

    Thank you!

    Hello Miss,

    Aside from trying StephenB and JennCs suggestions, if you create a test share, can you tell us if you will experience the same behavior in read-only?

    Forward to your response.

  • READ-ONLY FILE INDICATOR OVERLAY

    Hello

    is it possible to configure Windows 7 to display a read-only indicator or an overlay on the icon of the file?

    I want to distinguish all the files read-only on the other hand, whenever I open a folder.

    Thanks for any help,

    Enrico Migliore

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    There is no such an indicator, read only files is visible by opening it, is not any icon seprate for read only files. There might be some third party tools that can help do that, however, microsoft does not recommend.

    Hope this information was useful.

  • com.sun.faces.el.impl.ElException: cannot set read-only expressions

    Hi all

    I have done rendering m using the conditional expression for the selected attribute of < af:selectBooleanCheckbox >, but the read-only check box and I am not able to deselect them or select later.

    Here is the code:

    * < af:selectBooleanCheckbox value = "#{rank." Eligible == 'Y '? "{true: false}" id = "selectBooleanCheckbox1" / >. *

    If I use the JSF HTML component like * < h:selectBooleanCheckbox value = "#{rank." Eligible == 'Y '? "{true: false}" id = "selectBooleanCheckbox1" / > * and uses conditional expression, the box is rendered and I am able to select or deselect. However once I have send the form then throw it upwards under the exception:

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Hi Prasad,

    You don't mention that you use for your model layer; the easiest way to proceed is to expose a Boolean attribute on your model layer and link box to the. If you use ADF business components, just to create a transitional attribute and create a getter for her in the java class that will return true or false, depending on the value of "eligible" in the same way, create a Set accessor, which sets the 'eligible' O/N according to if true/false is passed.

  • Cannot change the properties of 'read only' files in xp

    Recently, I was not able to change the properties of 'read only' to my files. I click on 'Properties', uncheck the 'read only', press on apply, click OK. When I re - check the records they come up to 'read only' again. I can't find a way around it. It has stopped me to back up files, since I get the message that the files are 'read only' and cannot be changed.
    All solutions?
    Thank you

    The read-only attribute has never been applicable to files under XP. You can try to take ownership of files/folders instead.

  • Cannot modify read only options for all my files

    Original title: properties of the file.

    All of my files have become "read only".  Even if I'm an admin I can't change that.  If I open the properties and uncheck the read-only box, it emerges, I click on apply and OK, but the file remains read-only.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    From your description, it seems that you can not change the only option of reading to all your files in the computer.

    I'll be happy to help you. This problem can be caused if the files are corrupt and comes into conflict with other programs.

    I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

    1 have you ever done any recent hardware or software on your computer changes?

    2. have you created the file read-only?

    I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

    To view or to remove the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Vista

    a. click Start, click run, type cmd, and press enter.

    b. to display the syntax for the Attrib command, type attrib /? at the command prompt.

    To remove the read-only attribute and to set the system attribute, use the following command:

    attrib - r + s drive:------------

    For example, to remove the read-only attribute and set the attribute to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

    attrib - r + s c:\test

    Be aware that some programs may not operate correctly with folders for which the read-only attribute and the system attribute are granted. Therefore, use the following command to remove these attributes:

    attrib - r s by car:------------

    For example, to remove both the read-only and the attributes to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

    attrib - r-s c:\test

    If the run command is not listed in the Start menu, follow these steps:

    Click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, and then click run.

  • I can't change the read only files on my NAS unit.

    I have a promise SmartStore MS4300n Network Attached Storage system that I have used for more than two years. I can access it from my Windows Xp and my 64 bit Windows 7 computer. Yesterday, I tried to move some files from my Win 7 to the NAS and I find that I can't copy on it. I can move my Win 7 7 NAS files. When I look at the properties of the files on the NAS, they all are now READ ONLY. When I try to change it tells me I don't have permission. I am the only user and I am logged in as admin. Yet once it has started here yesterday.
    If I access the NAS since my XP I can copy data to the NAS even if properties files are READ only.

    The problem is clearly with WINDOWS 7, how to fix it, it work well before and I need to use this device to check my belongings.

    Thank you
    Dennis

    OK, looks like I fixed it. I found that even though I have my computer set up to run all updates automatically I checked windows update and found five that had not been installed. After that I ran the update now can I copy files to my SIN again.

  • Cannot get rid of the read-only file attribute

    I have a folder on my PC which is marked read-only.  The Setup program seems set up like that.  If I right click on the folder and go to 'Properties' there is a grey checkmark on "read only".  If I have it uncheck the box, and then click OK or apply then OK, it remains unalterable (the grey tick comes).  There is no hidden file in the folder.

    How can I fix it?

    Contrary to all logic of common sense, the 'Read only' attribute, as shown in the Properties screen has absolutely nothing to do with 'Read only' when it refers to a folder in Windows XP. In fact, it indicates that it is a custom folder.  A full explanation can be found here:

    "You can not view or change the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326549 >

    You don't mention exactly what your "problem" is with this folder, so I can not develop too much more than that.
