I need permission to delete mp4 files

I can't delete mp4 files.  When I try to delete them, I get a box that says I must be allowed to continue.  I click on continue and the user account control box saying I need permission to continue.  I click OK and the original box indicating that I have permission reappears.  I have no problems to delete any other file type.  I did not change my user account controls.  I use always all the defaults that is installed with VISTA.  Mp4 files are played with the VLC media player.

Try to RIGHT click the MP4 file, click Run as administrator. Then try again to delete.

If this does not work, you may need to refer to the ownership of an item.

  • How to delete MP4 files

    Camera model: HDR-CX670

    I need to make room in memory. It seems that the only way to remove the videos from the camera is using the device itself and not using a program on PC as PlayMemories.

    The problem is that my camera contains a folder named MP_ROOT with about 18 GB of MP4 files (I don't know where they come from; it looks like they are created whenever I have something, in addition to the movie AVCHD files). This folder is not displayed on the device, and I am therefore unable to remove it.

    I could use my PC to delete the folder or the files it contains, but I do not know if I break something by doing this. Because I like to keep a few videos on the camera, memory formatting isn't an option.

    How can I safely get rid of these files?

    Hi Berndbausch,

    You can safely remove the MP4 files in the MP_ROOT folder.

    Your camcorder is set to dual record mode that is why it creates MP4 files while he was recording AVCHD movies.

    To turn off video Dual Rec mode, you can go to:

    [Menu]-> [Image quality / Size]-> [Dual REC video]-> [DISABLED].

    For additional assistance, contact the offices of the nearest offices/Sony Sony representation of your place of residence in the Asia-Pacific region at http://www.sony-asia.com/locale-selector?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to the proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.

  • Uninstall Ad-Aware problems and who need 'permission' to delete its folder

    I have Windows Vista SP2; Internet Explorer 9, automatic update on everything.  I tried to uninstall lavasoft Ad-Aware since I have Microsoft Security Essentials and should not have 2 antivirus programs face.  Lavasoft using "Uninstall" and then restart, I discovered that nothing was missing.  So I have one of the 2 programs removed manually in Control Panel.  When I tried to removong the other.  a small window pops up telli me "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed"!   Overall the program is STILL in my computer, so I tried to delete the entire folder (must have 1000 files!), but pops up a window saying that I need permission to remove these!  I'm way over my head get "approval" when I do not understand how to explain all the advice and rules;  Looks like gobbledygook!  Can someone walk me through eliminating the files in the folder (can it be done in 1 shot?) and uninstalling this stubborn program?  Right now (03:14) I'm willing to give just straight up, but don't not before giving up hope someone will come again to my rescue!  Thanks for the help!

    I guess that Ad-Aware is always on the list under programs and features?

  • Try to delete a file, are not allowed

    A system of Vista Business o/s

    C:\users\Tom\AppData\Local\temp\low\coupon.dll

    During the scan of Spyware, I found the infected file. The anti-spyware application said it didn't have permission to delete.  I tried to remove it from windows Explorer, but didn't have authorization.

    The user has administrator rights; I've also logged on as administrator, but was not yet authorized.

    How can I delete this file?

    Right-click on the file and click on properties, then Security tab and add you with full permissions.  Go to advanced and do the same thing in the secition of special permissions.  Make sure that everyone is not seen denied access (if necessary, change it to allow access or delete the user).  Then, in the advanced go to Ownerand change the owner to yourself.  This should give you the permission to delete the file.  If this is not the case, the file is then inherit the permissions of a top-level folder which is still denied access.  Go to the folder of Tom and do essentially the same thing as above except this time do not forget to check the box to apply the change to all files and subdirectories.  If you get stuck, so try a lower level folder in the path and see if it's enough to give you the rights.

    Here is more information about permissions and ownership in case you experience problems or need instructions more detailed;

    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/.

    If this does not work, try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/).

  • Cannot delete the file/folder even in Administrator Mode or Mode safe

    I. hate. Vista. Windows XP has NEVER been this difficult to work with!

    I recently installed MagicISO. Didn't like it, so I deleted it. He left behind a small dll file and the folder. I wanted to remove both, couldn't.

    Tried safe mode. FAILED

    Administrator account I tried. FAILED

    Tried both together. FAILED

    Help me please? How could I not have permission to delete a file in administrator mode? Seriously, Windows Vista is just messed up all unrecognizable... * rant rant rant *.

    In fact, I thought that the answer.

    Went to safe mode.

    Used ShellExViewer (RUN AS ADMIN) and disabled MagicISO.

    Walked over to the directory and delete the .dll and the folder that it is.

    Restarted my computer in normal mode.

    Problem solved.

    Thank you all for helping me. I appreciate it a lot! I don't know what I'd do without you people. : D

  • Insert .mp4 files

    I'm doing a site and I need to have some .mp4 files play on the screen without having to open another page. I know that this can be done through youtube, but I was hoping there was a way to simply place and let them play with a simple mvoie player. I use CS6 12.0.03

    It means that you will need to have several files in order for people to view your video in all major browsers.

    Older versions of Firefox and Opera can not see MP4. IE and Safari can't see WebM and Ogg.

    Because of this, you must use two different files for any browser is used, the film is presented.

    Without multiple types of files, they would be just a mistake "no supported video found" message.

  • When I try to delete some folders, an error message appears saying 'you need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file.

    original title: require authorization of the SYSTEM

    I decided to do a clean install of the latest Windows 7 RC yesterday and today crossed and have started to remove some programs on a separate hard drive so I could reinstall their own.  However when I try to delete some folders, an error message appears saying 'you need permission SYSTEM to make changes to this file.  I am using an administrator account, but I can't just simply delete the file.  I tried going to and change the owner to my account or administrators, close it, change the security permissions to allow me to have full control, and then I can finally remove it.  The problem is, I have to do for all the files one by one in the folder, and I wonder if there is an easier way to go about this, or if I can access the user of this SYSTEM and just delete them all from there.  Thanks for the help.

    Hello

    Not trying to resurrect the old discussions, but I'll answer anyway because this thread came on top of the list of search results when I searched for "you need permission to the SYSTEM; I hope this will help everyone.

    Note: here, "the record" as a subject refers to the folder that you want to remove.

    Step 1: Go to the built-in Administrator account, you can do so by following these steps:
    a. go to control panel > system and security > administrative tools
    b. on the left panel, go to local users and groups > users. You should now see a list of users on your computer
    c. right click on the administrator account that appears in the list and select Properties
    d. uncheck "account is disabled" and confirm by pressing OK

    Step 2: Connect to your newly activated administrator account

    Step 3: Now, we start to configure the security settings that will allow you to remove this folder which was (perhaps) held by the SYSTEM:
    I'm going to make the assumption that you want to remove a folder and all its subfolders along
    a. right click on the folder
    b. go to the security on the top tab
    c. click on the Advanced button which is at the bottom

    : Step 4 the first part to configure security settings to set the owner of the folder:
    a. go to the owner on the top tab
    b. click the button change located downstairs
    c. There should be a list of accounts to choose to change the property, this is located under the label "of a change in ownership:'"
    (d) the entry 'Administrator (YOURCOMPUTERNAME\Administrator)' should be there; If this isn't the case, then add it to the list:
    -Click on the button "other users or groups...". "who's down
    -Under the label "enter the object name to select (examples):', there should be a text field you can type into it;" type in "Administrator" (without the quotes of course)
    -Click on the "Check names" button which is located on the right. 'Administrator (YOURCOMPUTERNAME\Administrator)' should now be there _For itself_; Well, if not, then you must remove the line that does not represent the administrator account that you are currently
    -Confirm by pressing OK; It will now appear on the list of accounts, you can choose from
    e. now, select 'Administrator (YOURCOMPUTERNAME\Administrator)' from this list
    f. check 'Replace the owner of subcontainers and objects' to propagate our change
    g. press OK to confirm. a message should now pop-up window, which says to re - open the properties. Do by pressing all the buttons OK see you

    Step 5: now that we have the owner of the folder, we still not done. There is one crucial step left which is to remove permissions inheritable:
    a. Repeat step 3 to learn to re - open properties and get to "Advanced security settings"
    b. go to the permissions on the top tab
    c. click on the button "Change permissions" which is down
    d. at the bottom, there should be 2 check boxes:
    -' Include the permissions that can be inherited from the parent to this object': deselect this. When you do so, you will get a warning on the parameters of parent is not not able to spread. Select 'Add '.
    -' Replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable this object': check this
    e. press OK to confirm. Windows will warn you this time; Click OK
    f. reconfirm by pressing OK; now, you should get to properties again

    Now, you shouldn't have all the warnings about the SYSTEM do give you permission as he attempted to perform actions on this issue.
    All the boxes to change the permissions on the accounts (properties > Security > Edit) must now be enabled, and you can tinker around with it.

  • Need permission to administrators when logged in as an administrator to delete a file in Windows 8

    I have a laptop Windows 8, which I shared with my daughter. We had separate user accounts. Mine was an administrator account, hers was not the case. I recently bought him his own laptop and tried to delete his account on my laptop. I did it by going to user accounts in Control Panel and remove it. The delete process has worked but left his user account folder (c:\users\account_name). I tried to remove it, but I was told that I needed permission from administrators to exercise this function, even if mine was an administrator account. I followed the instructions of kb2623670 and that did not help. I noticed that the file was marked read-only. When I tried to deselect, told me I need administrator privileges to change the attribute. I clicked on OK to confirm and received a message saying:

    An error occurred applying attributes to the file:

    \AppData\Roaming\...\Librariesaccount_nameC:\Users\

    Access is denied.

    I then logged in as an administrator and tried to delete the file and got the same result. On the Security tab, I noticed that administrator and administrators (Group) have been listed separately, and this one was the owner of the folder. Then, I clicked on the Advanced button and changed the owner of the Administrators group on the administrator account just to confirm that this was not the issue. I tried to delete that file, and again did not. Then I navigated to the subfolder of low level libraries and tried to change the read-only attribute. I got the same error. I then clicked on the Security tab and saw 'you must have read permissions to view the properties of this object. Click Advanced to continue. "I clicked on the button advanced and got"you must have read permissions to view the properties of this object. Click on continue to retry the operation with administrative permissions. "I click on the button continue and got"you don't have permission to view the security properties of this object, even as an administrator. To try to take possession of the object, which includes permission to view its properties, click on change above. "There is no change button. There are only 3 tabs: permissions (which displays the message that I have just mentioned), sharing and effective access (which contains the same message on the permissions tab). I went to the user_name folder and in the advanced security properties selected the option "replace all entries authorization child object with entries permissions inheritable of this object." When I clicked on apply and then Yes on the confirmation message after, I got an error that says "could not enumerate the objects in the container. Access is denied. »

    Is it possible to remove this folder, or even as an administrator there are things we can not do in Windows 8?

    Hello

    You can deal with this problem because of changes in the Windows authorization by virus or by a third party antivirus.  Follow these methods and check:

    Method 1: You can try to disable user account control, follow these steps:

    1. open user accounts by pressing the Windows key + X, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety, and then clicking user accounts.

    2. click on Turn User Account Control on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Select the use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer check box to turn on UAC, or clear the checkbox to disable UAC, and then click OK.

    Warning: User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

    Method 2: Because of the additional security mechanism 8 Windows, you might face this problem of permission. So if you need to access, appropriate drive and assign rights or permission to drive.

    Here's the guide on how to take ownership and grant permission window 8.

    Method 3: I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
