cannot save file metadata, file is read only

I have several files that I changed in LR, then changed in PS and saved in a different format.  Their return to LR and tried to record metadata in files, but it will not allow that and says that the files are 'read only '.  How can I change as read-only to read/write?

Good answer found by dj_paige!  When I went to make a screenshot of the folder permissions, I found that although security, I have it changed so I had full access, the general tab for the parent folder is still marked read only.  After unchecking read only on the parent folder and the folder and subfolders over 1000, it's finally let me save metadata!  Big thank you!  For everyone with this problem, I would start by right clicking on the parent folder to all your image files, in general tab, uncheck Read-only and then if it does not change the permissions for different people on your computer.  I'm all for controlling the most possible and to relinquish control as a last resort!  Again, thank you dj_paige for me by browsing.  You've been very helpful!

  • How can CD users save files as read-only PDF editable PDF after completing their?

    Hello

    We have users who use CD player and none of them are able to save regular editable PDF files, PDF files read-only. The only options that appear for the option Save as others are "text' and 'word or excel." In older versions, there is a PDF option here that allow them to record read-only. When you go to save as and recording it in pdf format, it is always editable. There is no other option to save it as Save a Copy as I've seen in other articles. Can you please tell me how this can be done? Thank you.

    Hi aprice.impact,

    Sign the PDF file use the certificate in Acrobat Reader ms (you'll find it under the Tools tab), to create a digital signature & sign the PDF.

  • From El Capitan, a DMG image file is read only

    I have a Seagate external drive to Mac OS extended (journaled) format with 2 partitions. On a partition of the disk, I have an image DMG file which had read and write permissions to the title of Yosemite. Now with El Capitan, the file is read-only when I open it. But what is strange, is that when I do a "Get Info" on the queue image before I open it, it says I've read & write permission.  Then when I opened the image file, Get-Info gives me conflicting information:

    (1) it is said: "read only".

    (2) in the table, it is said to "user (me)" that permissions are "read & write".

    If I try to change the permissions (after unlocking the 'Get Info' dialog box), everything is gray and I can't make changes.

    I thought the problem was similar to:

    Re: external hard drive read it now after update of el capitan

    So I followed the 'solution' listed (used disk utility > first aid), no effect.

    I also downloaded the driver Seagate-fix, but this has no effect (which I expected since mine cannot be an NTFS problem...)

    Any help appreciated.

    How is the Seagate HDD formatted?

    If she is still formatted as NTFS then it is very likely that your third party necessary for writing to NTFS software is obsolete. With the El Capitan, upgrading a number of packages NTFS should be updated in order to be able to write the formatted NTFS disks.

  • Application of file level read only permissions to a single file in different subfolders

    Hello
    I would level permissions Setup file to read-only for a particular file, only users who are inside subfolders in win 2 k 3 sp2 environment for users of the AD. For admin group, that it should be permitted for normal users, they should be able to add/edit content, but does not delete the contents of the folder. At the same time, they should be able to read the content of a particular file located in different subfolders.  Please advise me on how to do this.

    Here is the structure:
    Test1 >
    sup test 1 >
    1 > aa, bb, cc files it contains
    2 > aa, bb, cc files it contains
    3 > dd, ff, cc files it contains
    sup test 2 >
    1 > aa, bb, cc files it contains
    2 > aa, bb, cc files it contains
    3 > dd, ff, cc files it contains
    ----
    ----
    sup 300 test >
    1 > aa, bb, cc files it contains
    2 > aa, bb, cc files it contains
    3 > dd, ff, cc files it contains
    1,2 and 3 and so forth like that are again subfolders in the test with different files under folder in each file void like that.

    All I need is to assign only read permissions to a particular file which will be in each of these subfolders (subfolders test) for the ad groups.

    Thanks in advance

  • Cannot save files Windows 7, sharing violation excel 2007 - have lost many hours of work that it corrupts the file, after it tried so-called recovered-the same file on the machine xp without problem.

    Cannot save files Windows 7, sharing violation excel 2007 - have lost many hours of work it corrupts files after he supposedly has found and tried the same (copied) files on the machine xp without problem. Also sometimes on the stand alone machine without network and excel files generated on this machine. Any thoughts?

    If you use Internet Security of Trend Micro with Windows 7, this combination is probably what is causing the problem.

    To fix this, open the main Trend Micro Internet Security (or similar). Open the Virus & Spyware controls. Choose the Protection against viruses & Spyware; Click settings, then advanced settings. Uncheck the box next to 'save files before you try to remove the virus '.

    This solved my save all problems in Excel 2007 and Word 2007.

    Nils Petter,

    If no more luminous suggestion starts, you can try the list, see below.

    Have you fully installed on both computers (after upgrading the operating system if necessary)?

    The following is a general list of things, try when the question is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall.

  • "Cannot save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

    Hello
    When I tried to save as a file, I get an error msg:
    "Cannot save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

    The file is unwilling to accept any Photoshop.

    Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.6
    Photoshop CS4.

    I searched the Forum but did not find anything even though I'm sure someone has already asked it.

    would love to get a solution for this.
    Thank you

    If Photoshop says that the file is opened - then some external process left the file open. It has nothing to do with it being open in Photoshop, or even in the bridge. This sometimes happens when Spotlight had bugs (who came more than once and been corrected in versions of dot operating system).

    The external process could be another application or service to OS like Spotlight.

  • Created by external computer files are read only on the file server.

    Is not a question of indesign, but have searched and searched but cannot find an answer, hoping that someone here had the same problem and find out if it can be fixed.

    Systems:

    MacPro running snow lepoard as the file server

    iMac, read and write files in the Macpro have access to shared files.

    Problem:

    When the iMac saves any type of file, or create directories everything the iMac on the Macpro system is read only the user to Macpro.

    Only solution so far has been to give the iMac user an admin on the MacPro account, then everything they create is not read-only.

    It works but it's not the best of ideas for them to access the system files and you have.

    Is there a way to make the iMac to create files that are not read only without obtaining the server version of Mac OS x or giving them administrative rights to the Macpro.

    For any idea or suggestion would be great

    Thank you

    Problem solved!

    All this is down to the property not sharing or perrmissions.

  • Cannot save files from the iMac on external hard drive

    Hello. I recently bought an iMac 27 inches 5 k retina and I can't save files to the iMac on my external hard drive, which is a 1 to Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex. I formatted the hard drive before, so I can use it on Mac and PC. It works fine with my Macbook Pro. But not on my iMac. What could be the problem and how can I solve this problem? I don't want the hassle of the backup of my hard drive and reformatting, because there a lot of files already on it. Help, please

  • TDMS C DLL error 6210 file is read only

    I try to use VS2015 to extract the data from the TDMS files, but I get this error when I try to open the file.

    6210DDC_CannotWriteToReadOnlyFileThe file forwarded to the library is read only and cannot be changed.

    This happens in both DDC_OpenFile and DDC_OpenFileEx.

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFileEx (false \\server\share\file_path, "TDMS", &file));))

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFileEx (file_path, "TDMS", true, &file));))

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFileEx (file_path, "TDMS", 0, &file));))

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFileEx (file_path, "TDMS", 1, &file));))

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFile (file_path, "TDMS", &file));))

    Is it possible to open only read files in VS or modify access VS before opening?

    The previous reviews were correct, using an old dll package does not work. For anyone who seeks the solution or how to configure tdms c dll in visual (VS 2015 here, Win32) studios:

    (1) take the new dll c since the above comment.

    (2) make a new empty win32 application project.

    (2) move the contents of \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\dev\bin\32-bit in the working directory

    (3) move the \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\dev\include file in the working directory

    (4) move the \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\dev\lib file in the working directory

    (5) content move/copy the code \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\samples\readFile.c in your working directory/source file. (The variable length must be replaced by an unsigned int so that it works with c ++).

    (5) follow these instuctions here to include your working directory (step 7 +). Add the working directory to your source file properties, but the addition of the library to the project properties

    Has it done for me I can successfully open the TDMS files. Thank you for the help and a link to the new DLL! I hope this can help some people who are also new to VS.

  • Cannot save files Wordperfect 8 with Windows 8.

    I use Windows 8.  I installed Wordperfect Suite 8 so I can us Wordperfect 8 for my processor.  Windows 8, I cannot save Wordperfect 8 files.  What is the solution?

    I got my beloved WordPerfect to run this method:

    Start the tiles subway screwy, which is (I assume) the only way to access most of the programs that are installed, or even the properties of those who have been pinned to the taskbar to desktop.

    The tile of WordPerfect 8 right-click.

    Select 'Open file location' in the choices that appear below.

    Which takes me to a non-metropolitan files, Desktop, WordPerfect 8 listing Explorer view.  (Alternately, it is C:\Program Data-Microsoft-Windows-Start Menu-CorelWordPerfectSuite8)

    Right-click on WordPerfect 8

    Select Properties > Security tab > EDIT and check the full control box.  (Maybe the writing box would have been enough, I don't know.  I went with a full control).

    Finally, finally I can put my default WP file folder where I want, and I can open an existing file of WP, modify, "save under...". ', a new file name and keep the original file, rather than overwrite the original.

    Funny, BTW, that he was still able to _overwrite_ with "Write" disabled my original files.  Caused me severe pain with the Committee minutes.
