Autocad error "...This file is already in use by another application.

I get this error message when I try to publish and Autocad dwg file to a pdf. The files are not in use. I have changed the save as name. I have closed everything, rebooted and tried publishing again, to no avail.

Just the way it is. Same thing with Excel.
It's annoying but normal.

Audio Stream Recorder - Error: Audio device is already being used by another prog

I realized that Audio Stream Recorder is does not "work" through server list feature. So I am simply trying to use the manual method of adding URL's to the interface. However regardless of the type of stream, shoutcast, windows media or real audio, I receive the error "audio device is already being used by another program". Does anyone know how to fix this? I have closed my audio application etc to no avail. <RANT WARNING> I was very excited about using this application when I read about it. However an application that provides none of the stated features is not an application, its false advertising, since it clearly states on the box, help files and website this products "features". Anyway, it'ss very disappointing. Also, does anyone know what the supported steaming formats are, the help file say the application requires RealONE and Windows Media Player but does not mention audio stream formats? Thanks you in advance for any help.

I have the same issue. I updated to the latest software, to no avail. My first suspicion is that some Microsoft patch caused this, but I cannot verify this.
Apparently no one at Creative is very interested in this issue.

HT1351 Whether or not I sync items on iTunes to my ipod, I cannot eject the ipod because a message keeps coming up and saying that my ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. How do I fix this?

I just got an ipod classic 7th generation a couple days ago and I'm having a heck of a time with it. My latest problem is that with media on iTunes, I cannot eject the ipod because it says that it cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. What application is this, and what do I do about it?

Hi newipoduser,
Here are some possible solutions:
Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
Finally, you can restart your computer.
Hope one of these helps!
Cheers,

Cannot update ipod due to files that are in use by another application

Uploaded iTunes version 7 onto my PC on Friday. Ever since my fifth generation video (30GB) ipod cannot be either updated with version 1.2 software, syncronised or restored due to the error message "The ipod cannot be updated becuase it contains files that are in use by another application".
Not sure the issue is related to the itunes upgrade but it is a strange coincidence.
Also having a problem becuase my pc runs outlook 2002 which is not compatible with itunes 7 and my calender cannot be syncronised. Don't know whether the two issues are related.

Kudos to Randy. Thanks a lot; this worked for me. I simply opened itunes (and minimized it) with my ipod connected, opened "My Computer," right-clicked "IPOD" and ejected it. As soon as the icon in My Computer showed that it was ejected I quickly maximized itunes, clicked IPOD, and clicked the update button. Wah lah! iPod updated. Hope that helps the rest of you out there with this problem! Thanks again!

The ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application

I am using my crusty but trusty 5G iPod with my new rMPB, and things have been working as expected for the month or so that I've had the new laptop. But "recently," (past few days?), when I go to eject from iTunes (current - 11.1.5), I get the error message, "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application." The iPod is then ejected but the "Do not disconnect" message remains on the iPod screen. I can continue using the iPod as normal after all this.
If I eject the iPod from the Finder, I get no error message but the iPod screen still remains at "Do not disconnect."
I tried plugging it into my Windows 7 PC (did not reformat of course!) and then ejected it, and the iPod screen returned to its proper state after a proper Windows disconnect.
I have of course restarted my Mac and reset the iPod (Up + Center buttons held for ~5 sec) but no change. I don't remember changing the OS that would cause this - any suggestions as to the problem here?

Hello, cgtyoder.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try resetting the iPod and power cycling your Mac to see if this message disappears. If the issue persists you may need to restore the device to factory settings. The article below will walk you through both these steps.

I just bot a new ipodnano and synched my playlists from my itunes library. However, I am unable to disconnect as it says the the ipodnano contains files that are in use by "another application". What is it talking about and how do I disconnect?

How do I disconnect./eject my new ipodnano after I had synched my playlists (from itunes library on my computer).
Itunes message - CANNOT BE EJECTED BECAUSE IT CONTAINS FILES THAT ARE IN USE BY ANOTHER APPLICATION:.
This is after my synch was succesfull and it says I can disconnect now - but it won't let me.

For the immediately problem, you can shut down the computer and disconnect the iPod.
There may be a process (program) running on your computer in the background that continuously monitors mounted volumes for things like maintenance, data corruption, and malware. The iPod's storage is a mounted volume. If you know of any such program, such as an "anti-virus" utility, and it has settings that allow you to exclude certain volumes, you can set it to ignore the iPod "disk" when connected.
Also, if you are using automatic syncing (not the manual method) to load the iPod, and you have Enable disk use turned ON, turn it OFF. With Enable disk use turned OFF, iTunes only mounts the iPods disk when syncing, then immediately unmounts the disk. Thus, other processes you have running on your PC (not iTunes) will have less of a chance to make the disk "in use" and cause this problem. You won't even have to eject the iPod before disconnecting.

Hi, arthur260, I presume you've solved this by now, but I came across this post looking for the same solution for my ipod nano. In my case the problem was that I had the box checked to "Enable disk use" under the options for the ipod. It immediately solved the problem when I unchecked this.

Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting. If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

IPod contains files that are in use by another application

If you have ever received a message from iTunes saying that, "iTunes cannot update iPod because it contains files that are in use by another application," then take a look at this thread because I have had many problems with this and discovered a solution that most likely will work. Ok, lets begin:
1. Updating/Restoring does not work. If you have this problem and get the above message continue reading.
2. Plug your iPod into your USB port. Allow iTunes to load and recognize the iPod. It shall update itself automatically.
3. When iTunes is finished, go to the "Start Menu."
4. Open "My Computer"
5. On the main screen, scroll to "Devices with Removable Storage." Click on your iPod.
6. After clicking on the iPod, go to the left-side bar and under "System Tasks," click "Eject this disk."
7. Once this is done, return to iTunes and click "Update."
8. It should come up with a message saying something like, "Updating (Name of iPod) iPod."
Congratulations, you have just solved your problem! Good luck enjoying the wonderful updates that iTunes has to offer.
Darth Bob
P.S. Let me know if there is anything I can imporve on, I'm sort of new to this, but love messing with the computer. Thank You!

I am experiencing the same message when I try and sync either my or my wife's iPod on my Mac. I simply acknowledge it and everything seems to work fine but I wonder what's going on. I used to have problems dismounting my iPod but that seems to have gone away with iTunes 7.
Any thoughts for us Mac guys?

Page Viewer Webpart getting error: This file is already open or in use.

Management wants to have a Goal Chart to be updated daily with new information without having to get myself involved. All they want to do is save to a Network location and have SharePoint Intranet site use this location to display.
My background is an Intermediate power user, no development. After researching I thought I could use the Page Viewer Web Part by using the File and then specify the Network location. This worked only once.
When management or myself tries to save the updated PDF to the Network location get the following error message: This file is already open or in use.
Please let me know the best way for management to update a network location to update the SharePoint Intranet site.
System is SharePoint 2010 foundation.

This is what I did and it works fine for the original document. I want the user to be able to save to the same location on the Network to have the new PDF display within Sharepoint. When I try to save over the original PDF, I get an error message
when I try to save: The file is already open or in use.
How do I get around getting this message.

Error says"Your camera is in use by another application"...no apps running

I just purchased a brand new iSight. I connected it to my G5 but when I start up iChat and click on the green video camera icon at the top right, I get a new window that just says "your camera is in use by another application". I don't have other applications running. When I click on the preferences button at the bottom of that window I get another new window with some options for microphone and bandwidth limit. The iSight is not even an option for microphone.
I tryed the iSight on a MacBook Pro and a iBook, it works perfect on both so I don't think there is anything wrong with the iSight.
A few months ago I tryed to run a logitech camera on the G5 but couldn't get iChat to recognize that camera either. I wonder if did something that is coming back to haunt me.
I downloaded the latest iChat, tried all the basic stuff like removing the logitech software and restarting the computer...I am running out of ideas...Help, please
