"Attempt to open locked file for writing, Result Code = -54" when importing

I get this error box when importing audio files into a logic session over my network.
+Attempt to open locked file for writing+
+Result Code = -54+
The finder is capable of copying the files over to the local machine, at which point I can successfully import them into my local logic session, but Logic is incapable of doing the same. Strange and annoying.

Pro Tools 11 Attempt to open locked file for writing (-54)

I am able to download Pro Tools 11 (includes HD) Pro Tools_11_0_2_Mac_80450.dmg to my Mac Mini, running 10.8.5. However, when I run it and start Pro Tools 11, it gives me the error "Attempt to open locked file for writing (-54)".
If someone could help me, I would appreciate it immensely.

FileNotFoundException thrown when opening a file for writing from EJB

Hi,
I know it is against EJB rules that access file IO from EJB. However we have a legacy system to working with and we need to generate a text file on file system.
Weblogic (we are using 10.3) allows open a file for read from EJB. When we tried to open a writer like below:
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter( new FileWriter(fileName, false));
FileNotFoundException was thrown from the native method of open. The fileName is an absolute path and permission is properly set. The same piece of code can execute correctly in a test application with same filename.
Does anyone know how to achieve this or whether Weblogic just forbids this kind of output access?

Sorry guys. Just double-checked the source code and found out a bug produced wrong filename, the filename was surrounded by "", so FileNotFoundException is a correct result.
Weblogic does allow read/write external file.

Opening existing file for writing

Hey how do I open an existing file for writing. For example I want to just add one more line to a file after it has been closed but I don't have the reference to the FileWriter / BufferedWriter object. So I have to tell the directory maybe but how do I open it and start writing to it at the end.
Thanks.

You just create a new File Object 
File f = new File("c:/foo.txt"); 
Then you can read or write to that file with FileReader or FileWriter 
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f); 
fw.write(); 
If you want to append sth. to a file I would recommend RandoAccessFile 
RandomAccesFile raf = new RandomAccesFile(f, "rw") 
Now you can get the length of the file and set the pointer to the end 
raf.seek(raf.length());

Can't open a file for writing in the ProgramData folder

Hi,
I have a simpe text file in the ProgramData directory that I need both to read and write to.
SHGetFolderPath(0, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA, 0, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, userpath);
PathAppend (userpath, TEXT("Testfolder/gnsh.dat")); licensefile = _wfopen(userpath, L"r+");
However, the only way I have been able to open the file both in read and write modus, is to run the program as an administrator. But this is not a practical solution. The question is then if there is a way to open this file in both moduses when running
the program in the normal way, not as an administrator.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for youre answer, that was very useful. It helped me find the solution. The file I wanted to edit was downloaded with Inno Script Studio, which by installation changed the attributes of the file to none writable. So simple by setting a parameter
in this scripture I was given write access.
Best regards

Cannot open file for writing...

I keep getting this error...
Cannot open "filename" file for writing. Please check the output filename and file permissions (if it already exists) and then try again.
Not sure what is going wrong here. I have scoured the web and can't find a solution.
Running CS5 on a Mac.
Any help is appreciated!!

This might indicate a problem in AME CS5, but we'll need more information about the clip--and possibly a copy of it--before we can make that judgment.
If the clip plays on Computer X but not on Computer Y, that could indicate that X has a certain codec that's missing on Y.
What codec is the clip? What's the extension of the filename (which equates roughly to the type of wrapper)?
What are the origins of the clip? (e.g., is it straight off of a camera? or was it encoded by another program?)
Do you have AME 5.0.1 installed on both computers?

Error code "File not found Result code = -43" PLEASE HELP!

I keep getting this error message: "File not found Result code = -43" when trying to load instruments from the media tab. Does anyone know why this is happening and know how to fix this problem? I'm in the middle of a project and need help! Thanks.

So, I've narrowed down the problem to happening with the following steps (could someone possibly try this and see if the same problem is happening?)
If I load an instrument track and its blank and select a GARAGEBAND loop from the media list, I get the error message.
If I load a new instrument track and select any other instrument from the media list (besides a Garageband instrument) everything loads fine, AND THEN if I select a Garageband instrument from the list, it loads fine with no error.
If I select "No plug-in" in the channel strip after this, and try to load a Garageband loop, I get the error message and all other instruments from the media lists fail to load until I select "no-plugin" again from the channel strip and select an instrument from the media list BESIDES a Garageband instrument and then go from there (and can then load a Garageband instrument).
Is anything like this happening to anyone else? Does anyone have any ideas why this would be happening?

Vi error on nfs mount; E212: Can't open file for writing

Hi all,
I've setup a umask of 0 for testing on both NFS client (Centos 5.2) and NFS server (OSX 10.5.5 server).
I can create files as one user and edit/save out as another user w/o issue when directly logged into the server via ARD.
However, when I attempt the same from an NFS mount on a client machine, even as root I get the following error using vi;
"file" E212: Can't open file for writing
Looking at the system.log file on the server, I see;
kernel[0]: add_fsevent: no name hard-link! dropping the event. (event 2 vp == 0xa5db510 (-UNKNOWN-FILE)).
This baffles me. My umask is 0 meaning files I create and attempt to edit as other users are 777, but I cannot save out edits unless I do a wq! in vi. At that point, the owner of the file changes to whomever did the vi.
This isn't just a vi issue as it happens using any editor, but I like to use vi.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Hey, beer is on me!

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies
I've narrowed it down to a Centos client issue.
Everything works fine using other Linux based OS's as clients.
Since we have such a huge investment in Centos, I must figure out a workaround. Apple support wasn't much help as usual however they were very nice.
There usual response is "its unsupported".
If Apple really wants to play in the enterprise of business space, they really need to change there philosophy. I mean telling me that I shouldn't mount home directories via NFS is completely rediculus.
What am I supposed to use then, Samba of AFP? No, I don't think so. No offense to Microsoft but why would I use a Windows based file sharing protocol to mount network shares in a Nix env???

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

Cannot download Flash Player 10 due to - Error opening file for writing: Flash10d.ocx

Hello all,
I am having difficulty installing Flash Player 10. I open it up, and only 10% of the download bar finishes before I get the message:
"Error opening file for writing:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx"
I am running Windows Vista with Internet Explorer, although I'm not 100% sure which version of IE it is and haven't found out how to check. I have McAfee for security, but I have already tried disabling the Firewall with no success.
My computer is new, so there's a chance that it already has Flash Player 10 on it since it belonged to someone else before it came to me, but I don't know how to check that either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Let me clarify:
I have already tried disabling the firewall and running the installer again, but it didn't work.

Error Opening File for Writing

I have a laptop running on Windows XP and I was having a really hard time running applications on Face Book. I kept getting a message to "kill pages" or "wait" for the program to respond. Most times it would eventually automatically "kill pages" and I am unable to use those apps. It's not only on Face Book either; some other pages will not run due to this problem. So I visited the Adobe web site and it said my version was out of date and that I needed to download the latest version. I did and now I am getting the error unable to open file for writing. (C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave\SwHelper_1166636.exe) I don't know if that matters or not.
I cannot download the latest version; I don't know what other information I can give about the laptop; I am now getting the message "A plug-in (Shockwave) isn't responding". Please help if you can.
Thank you for your time and help,

That is actually Shockwave Player.
So does this FB app actually require Flash Player or Shockwave Player?
Get Flash Player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Error opening file for writing when installing

I cannot install Flash on my Vista X64. I have tried running
the downloadable install and the online install. Any time I try to
run the install I get "error opening file for writing" when trying
to write C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash9d.ocx.
I have uninstalled Fash first (it never worked anyway) and I
have rebooted. I even tried rebooting in Safe Mode but no matter
what I try, I cannot remove the existing Flash9d.ocx and installing
will not overwrite the existing file.
Even after uninstalling Flash and rebooting to safe mode,
Windows reports that flash9d.ocx is in use. So why is the file in
use after uninstalling?
Any help is appreciated.
Dale

Well, I finally figured out the problem with mine today. Of
course, I'd still like to know what nefarious purpose might be
involved with the Flash activeX file being loaded in memory even
after uninstall and reboot such that it cannot be removed from my
PC even in Safe Mode.
At least I got Flash working. I discovered that Flash was
disabled in IE.
In IE, go to Tools->Options->Programs and then Manage
Add-Ons. In my case, the ShockWave Flash Object was set to
disabled. I changed it to Enabled and I was able to install and use
Flash properly. Now I am just not sure I want to.
With the questionable practices of using the ActiveX control
even after uninstall, and making the file un-removable, along with
the extremely (in my opinion) dishonest practice of installing
Google Toolbar with Flash, I am hoping that Microsoft's Silverlight
puts Flash out of the market - and I'm no huge fan of Microsoft
either. With the new practices from Adobe, they are, in my opinion,
no better than any other spyware and malware purveyor on the market
- right up there with Napster and the dozens of follow-on products
that tricked users into installing unwanted software.

Hi Yaeli1,
From the error message above, please check the permission for file writing , it seems that this issue is related to access permission.

Distiller will suddenly close/crash the *SECOND* time I open a file for converting to PDF.

The subject heading says it all: Distiller will suddenly close/crash the *SECOND* time I open a file for converting to PDF.
But I think I have a clue why this is happening. Typically, I use Distiller to convert EPS or PS files into PDFs. Also, almost without fail, I embed the required fonts (exclusively Type 1) directly into the EPS/PS files (using the required PFA format) so no local fonts on my computer are needed to be looked for by Distiller to be embedded in the resulting PDF; they're already in the EPS/PS files.
But yesterday, I attempted to convert some EPS/PS files to PDFs using Distiller in which I had NOT embedded the Type 1 fonts (in PFA format, of course) in the source EPS/PS files. The first such conversion would work (in which I select "Open" and choose an EPS/PS file for conversion), but after that initial conversion, the *SECOND* time I clicked on "Open" (open file), Distiller would immediately close/crash.
I then searched the web for answers, and discovered some people were having trouble getting Distiller to initialize if any of their computer system fonts were read-only. So, I went back to my EPS/PS files and embedded the required Type 1 (PFA format) fonts into them, and then—magically—Distiller worked without a hitch: I could open and convert any number of them in succession, with Distiller never closing/crashing.
So, I concluded the reason that Distiller had been crashing upon the second attempted opening of a file (again, simply by pressing the "open" button to search for a file to convert, *not* after selecting a file) must have had something to do with Distiller scanning my computer's installed fonts when there was no embedded PFA font to reference, and a read-only font on my system was causing the problem. However, I looked in the two logical places where my fonts should be located (c:\psfonts and c:\windows\fonts), but found *no* font files' attributes set to "read-only" So, I'm stumped.
I'm using Distiller Pro 10.1.1316 (acrodist.exe) on a Win 8.1 machine. I've found similar posts, going back to 2004, about Distiller immediately crashing after opening when some fonts are read-only; I haven't yet found a post about anyone successfully using Distiller to convert one EPS or PS file to PDF, and then having the program crash when the "Open" button is pressed subsequently. Any clues, anyone?

Never heard about the crash and that does not sound normal. Be sure to do the updates to Acrobat in case that resolves the issue. You might also check the font settings in the settings file and check to ignore the error if the font can not be embedded and Distiller should use what it considers to be the closest system font.

Numbers freezes when I attempt to open a file from the iCloud

Hello,
My Numbers app for my iMac freezes when I attempt to open a spreadsheet file from the iCloud. These same files open fine on my iPad, and I make sure to close Numbers on my iPad before I attempt to open the file on my iMac, but it makes no difference. The app freezes, and I have to manually force stop the Numbers process. Any help would be appreciated.

How do I get the dock to recognize the latest numbers version I have.
Go to the Applications folder, find Numbers 3 and drag it to the dock. It will then look like the lower icon here (the one with the 4 columns).
Another way is, if Numbers 3 is already open, to right-click the icon in the Dock and choose 'Keep in Dock' under 'Options':
You can drag the icon with the three columns off the Dock if you don't want to open Numbers 2 from the Dock.
