□ Once again, I'm trying to utilize the concept of "shared. Your last point assumes that I want these files only available to my daughter, but me or my wife might want to watch them under our accounts. I'm also assuming that FolderX (Shared/Videos in this case) would have generic read/write permissions since it's a "shared" location on the hard drive. I just figured that creating a new file in FolderX would inherit FolderX's permissions, not those of the user creating the file. I didn't mean to imply that I was expecting the windows permissions to be on the files.i realize that wouldn't happen. ![]() I could use separate folders to hold files with common permissions among them, but isn't that the whole reason for file permissions.to enable and restrict access on a file by file basis? Select your username from the drop-down menu labeled Select the user account (NOT System Administrator/root). Your first suggestion would work if these files were the only videos in the folder, but what if I have other videos in there that I DO NOT want my daughter to open? I could set them all to add Read for her using this method, then remove Read on the "restricted" files individually, but once again, that's not very intuitive or elegant. ![]() On a secondary note.I had copied the files from my Windows pc directly into a folder under the Shared user account (while logged into the macbook as myself).why didn't the new files inherit "shared" permissions, allowing my daughter to open them? They seem to have gotten my admin permissions by default. Why can't I open a single Get Info window for multiple selected files to apply any changes to only those files? Windows lets me do it. 1) Install from the DMG 2) Right click and show contents of the package crack.mpkg 3) Go to Contents. I've read various suggestions such as BatChMod, File Buddy, FileXaminer, XRay, using a temp folder to propagate the new permissions, and even using chmod in terminal, and while they all would work, they just don't seem as intuitive as "I want to add the Read permission for user Daughter to all the files that are selected." This is a version with a FULL working crack. BatChmod's list of Group names that you can apply is also far more extensive, not limited to just the currently logged-in user, admin, staff, and wheel.I tried changing the permissions on multiple files (mp4 movies copied to my macbook, so my daughter can watch them under her account) by selecting them all and opening Get opened a separate Get Info window for each file.not very helpful for a bunch of movies. ![]() Is there a way i can do this without the password or can i. Instead, click the Reset button located just. Use the drop-down menu to select the user account whose home folder permissions you wish to fix. But the thing is that when i run this command it ask me for the admin password before performing the installation. In the Reset Password window that opens, select the drive that contains your home folder this is usually your Mac's startup drive. sudo installer -pkg Snip.mpkg -target /Applications. pkg on MAC OS from java code nobody at 14:00 Add a comment 2 Answers Sorted by: 2 Remove the password requirement from sudo using the following line in sudoers: jinith ALL (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL Do note the other solution will add the password to the process list. Once that's done, you can't use the simpler utilities to fix this, since they will no longer offer the altered home folder's former owner in the utility's Owner list as an item to reapply to the folder-it will offer only the name of the currently logged-in user. mpkg file which i want to execute from the terminal I sucessfully used this command to achive this. If you use most of the simpler utilities (like Permissions Reset) to reset ACL lists for an entire user's home folder, you need to be logged into that user's account, because these utilities will change the owner of that home folder to the currently logged-in user, and remove the former owner from that home folder's ACL list, and from all enclosed files and folders if you select that option. BatChmod is the best tool I've found for fixing and modifying entire user home folder ACL lists (for instance, for getting rid of the extra "everyone" account that can cause so much trouble), since its Owner list always offers you all of an OS X installation's user names to apply to any folder, no matter which account you're logged into while running BatChmod, as well as many of the system-related owner names.
