External HD has declared to be "Disabled owner." Allows to read only.

After upgrade of El Cap, I can't fully use my HD as before ext USB. It allows access only to 'read only '. Use utility disk to try to solve the problem, I found a screen which shows my post HD is 'disabled owner.' How can I regain full use of HD? I tired help to find a way, but the instructions that help me are not available. It tell me to click on things that do not exist on my screen.

How the HD is formatted? I'm guessing that it is formatted in NTFS, a Windows and Mac format can only read but not write, without additional software.

Many people met with a similar problem, as the third party software they had installed for writing on the NTFS volume was not compatible with El Capitan.

Possible solutions are: 1) the updated software to deal with such road; or (2) save it and reformat the drive in OS x journaled booked or, if you need to use it with Windows, ExFAT machines. ExFAT formatted drives can be written and read by Mac and Windows.

I would recommend option 2).

    What should I do?

    In most cases, only playback status is defined because there may be no "file locking" when editing and simultaneous removal. I suggest try enabled write caching and testing accessibility in writing files.

  • Error Adobe ID should use "Adobe ID which has not yet been used to allow any other computer"

    I do a few tests and screenshots for my public library right now. After reclassification of ADE 1.7 to 2.0 on an authorized machine, I pressed CTRL + SHIFT + D to Deauthorize. Then I tried to add the exact same Adobe ID to the computer and get this error message.

    "You can allow only this computer with an Adobe ID which has not yet been used to allow any other computer or mobile device. "Please RΘessayer."

    It of weird and contradicts my understanding of the ADE. 1.7, you can use the same Adobe ID on any combination of device (6). This seems to suggest that my ID Adobe must be original whenever it be permitted. My questions are:

    • Does really need to make a new Adobe ID, whenever you use CTRL + SHIFT + D?
    • What happens to contain ebooks DRM on your computer that were related to the Adobe ID who do not accept the ADE 2.0?

    If anyone has any ideas on this, I'd like to hear them.

    N ° you already allowed the computer anonymously, and you can only "upgrade" an anonymous user that has not been used before.

    You can either disable allow anonymous user (and lose all access to the content related to this user), or you can use a brand-new AdobeID which has not been used for electronic books before.

    If you have active anonymously by mistake and not have not any content yet, you want to probably turn off and start again.

  • Ready NAS 4220 command terminal to disabled checkbox "allow instant access."

    I have a temp 4220 readynas as a file server, joined an ad. 6.2.4 current firmware

    There is also a file indexing on-site 24/7 running. It indexes action 4.

    I have a junior administrator who will recover the files deleted using the "snapshot" function

    The issue is the 'allow instant access' remains on by accident. This causes the indexing of file index all snapshots. This pushes the index to 60 + GB in size. It will grow if big, that it stops new classes of indexing files. If it not to index the snapshots, the database will be around 4 GB.

    I would like a cron job to disable the 'allow the snapshot' nightly at 02:00.

    I can't find an online resource that gives enough details on the function of snapshot except how to delete snapshots. I want to deactivate access according to a schedule and keep the snapshot running.

    I thought that it might be a terminal command to do this.
