Check Mate? Logic locks when I save

I've been using Logic for two years without a major problem. One day last week logic decided to freeze whenever I save, nothing to do but to force quit. Every song every possible combination of saving also to different drives. i rushed into the Apple store with my mac and paid the experts to give it a thorough going over, hardware test etc. The verdict, perfect health. So my puter is OK but what about the system software? Reinstalled! Same problem. So i went and bought logic pro cross grade from 7 to 7.2 uninstalled logic properly and did a fresh install of logic, ran setup assistant and same problem, Logic lock when i try to save.
Any Ideas anyone because apple stores can't help and neither can Pro tech support.
Anyone?
Cheers
jamie

I would do what I used to have to do in Windows every couple of dang months: wipe the HD totally and reinstall everything from scratch.
Lot of work, but pretty much eliminates the software variable.

Logic crashes when i save

i updated to tiger, cleared my harddrive, and i now use two firepods, and all of a suden when I select save song as project, logic saves the song but it crashes. anyone have any pointers?

I am having the same problem and I have installed the latest pro application update (3.1). I use Logic 7.0.1 but am waiting for the 7.2 update in the mail.
Logic crashes when I try to save a song using the "save as...", "Save as template", "Save as Project" commands.
The song does get saved properly, though.
Logic also crashes when exporting MIDI files. In that case I do loose everyhing I did since my last save.
When I use the normal "save" command Logic does not crash.
I tried deleting my autoload song and let Logic startup it's own one, but then the problem still occurs.
I read about "deleting the preferences" in an archived thread about this subject, but I don't know how to do that.
Can anybody help me with this?

Illustrator CS3 grays out and locks when using Save or Save As

In the past few days everytime I try to save an existing or new file with Save or Save As i see the save dialog box flash and then the whole program locks and grays out. The only way to close is to do a control-alt-delete. This happens for new files and existing files. I tried renaming the preference file so it would create a new one and that didn't work. I have cleaned out the temp files and I have plently of memory and RAM so that is not the issue either. We can't seem to find our CDs to do another install so are there any other ideas someone can give? this is also happening with my Photoshop CS3 and my InDesign CS3. I think it may have something to do with a microsoft update... thats the only thing that has changed on my PC in the last week. Oh and i also did a virus scan, nothing. thanks

The video card is opening the Save dialog offscreen, outside the visible desktop area.
Select Alt+ Spacebar, choose move and then use the arrow keys to move the dialog box back on screen and resize it so it fits and opens in the correct position.

Logic crashes when trying to save/quit or open in 10.6.8

Logic crashes when trying to save/quit or open in 10.6.8 on Logic 9.1.4
Done everything like repair permissions etc.
Reinstalled both Logic and OS 10.6 (then updated to 10.6.8)
Still doing it.
Any advice guys?

OK,
I have installed logic 9.1.5 from the apple site and run that, still same problem.. so i have finally managed to get my hands on the logic 9 disc.. it says on the apple site to remove logic 9 from your mac, to simply drag the logic app to trash and reinstall. i did this with 10.6.0 installed and run it and still error. I then combo updated to .4 .6 and to .7 without updating logic still error.. Then i have combo updated to 10.6.8 still error.. finally i installed the 9.1.5 update direct from the site on 10.6.8 and that hasnt worked either..
My question is, even though on the apple site it says to drop the app to the bin and reinstall, does this remove all necessary files? or do i have to do it manually and if so can someone tell me exactly what needs to go,before i try a proper reinstall.
Thanks
Brad

Help. When you save the file, no "OAM", check the settings necessary.

Help. When you save the file, no "OAM", check the settings necessary.

You presume correctly. It's only when I need to do a file-open or save. The initial window opens up but as soon as you try to start navigation, the hang occurs. I also have drives mapped on these two computers, so I wonder if that could be a possible cause...

File error: The specified file i locked. when i am trying to render a clip on the time lin e

WHen i want to render a clip on the timeline it tells me this message"file error: The specified file i locked."drive and file and they are not locked.
What setting do i check for this
because up till now the program was rendering all clips on the time lne
I have checked the the drives and files and they are unlocked.
please advise
i have to render the clip from the timeline as n export then bring it back in
annoying !

Before I ask you to check permissions on the drive you save your material and output files, try creating a new project, copy everything from the old one in it (highlight-copy-paste in new project) and save as with a new name. Does this work?

Do I have to use lock when I am reading data from a table

Hi,
When i am reading data from a table , do I have to set a lock on that table .
Is it necessary for us to set the lock on a table when I am reading data from the table.
When I am updating the table , do I have to set a lock on the table ?
If yes, then what sort of lock-read lock,write lock or shared lock?
Regards,
Sushanth H.S.

check it out,
Lock objects are use in SAP to avoid the inconsistancy at the time of data is being insert/change into database.
SAP Provide three type of Lock objects.
- Read Lock(Shared Locked)
protects read access to an object. The read lock allows other transactions read access but not write access to
the locked area of the table
- Write Lock(exclusive lock)
protects write access to an object. The write lock allows other transactions neither read nor write access to
the locked area of the table.
- Enhanced write lock (exclusive lock without cumulating)
works like a write lock except that the enhanced write lock also protects from further accesses from the
same transaction.
You can create a lock on a object of SAP thorugh transaction SE11 and enter any meaningful name start with EZ Example EZTEST_LOCK.
Use: you can see in almost all transaction when you are open an object in Change mode SAP could not allow to any other user to open the same object in change mode.
Example: in HR when we are enter a personal number in master data maintainance screen SAP can't allow to any other user to use same personal number for changes.
Technicaly:
When you create a lock object System automatically creat two function module.
1. ENQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. to insert the object in a queue.
2. DEQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. To remove the object is being queued through above FM.
You have to use these function module in your program.
check this link for example.

endif.
Normally ABAPers will create the Lock objects, because we know when to lock and how to lock and where to lock the Object then after completing our updations we unlock the Objects in the Tables
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/cf/21eea5446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
purpose: If multiple user try to access a database object, inconsistency may occer. To avoid that inconsistency and to let multiple user give the accessibility of the database objects the locking mechanism is used.
Steps: first we create a loc object in se11 . Suppose for a table mara. It will create two functional module.:
1. enque_lockobject
1. deque_lockobject
before updating any table first we lock the table by calling enque_lockobject fm and then after updating we release the lock by deque_lockobject.
Select the radio button "Lock object"..
Give the name starts with EZ or EY..
Example: EYTEST
Press Create button..
Give the short description..
Example: Lock object for table ZTABLE..
In the tables tab..Give the table name..
Example: ZTABLE
Save and generate..
Your lock object is now created..You can see the LOCK MODULES..
In the menu ..GOTO -> LOCK MODULES..There you can see the ENQUEUE and DEQUEUE function

Logical locking not working

Our system consists of ABAP and java stack. There are two server processes running on the system. We have a web application that is deployed. We want to lock an object in the init method of the servlet. We are using logicallocking to do that.
We want it so that when the application is deploying and running the init method on one server it obtains the lock. The other server process should wait till it obtains the lock.
This is the code I have
try {
                    lockOmscb();
                    _omscb.start();
                } catch (LockException e1) {
                    _logger.logInfoExt("Omscb instance already running, cannot access lock on object.");
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e1.printStackTrace();
private void lockOmscb() throws NamingException, LockException, TechnicalLockException, IllegalArgumentException {
        Context initialContext = new InitialContext();
        LogicalLockingFactory factory = (LogicalLockingFactory) initialContext.lookup(LogicalLockingFactory.JNDI_NAME);
        _logger.logInfoExt("Got intial context lookup");
        _lock = factory.createLogicalLocking("NWCPM", "NWCPM workspace" );
        _logger.logInfoExt("created logical locking");
        lock.lock(LogicalLocking.LIFETIMEUSERSESSION, "NWCPM/OMSCB", cfg.toString(), LogicalLocking. MODEEXCLUSIVE_NONCUMULATIVE);
        _logger.logInfoExt("Got lock");
In the locking adapter I can see two locks being obtained at the same time. They are not getting it one after the other.
If I try to obtain the lock twice in the same method then it is throwing the lockException.
But this is not happening when the web application is being initialized in the two server processes.
Logicallocking is supposed to be access the lock between applications.
Is there a way I can acheive this ? If so how?
Can you please let me know.
thanks
Padmaja

Hi Padmaja,
the argument you are trying to lock is _cfg. As you do not deliver the code that defines this I cannot say what it contains, but it is easily predictable that this value is different in two different servers.
Make it a hard coded string with a value like "Humble" and then you are sure all instances will try to save exactly same value, which will make it work as expected.

Logic freezes when trying to record 8th instrument.

Today is the LAST day I have to exchange my new iMac for a better one, and of course today is the first day I've had this problem.
The first section of my project has 7 tracks playing together, and they do so just fine without any problems.
When I moved onto the second section, I only needed to record one track with no other tracks playing at the same time. Regardless, the instant I hit the first note, Logic locked up and only played a scratchy electric sound non-stop, while the numbers 1,2,and 3 next to my first three tracks flash with a box.
I tried freezing all of the other tracks, so it only focuses on the one I am recording, but it didn't work. I tried changing instruments and that didn't work either. I checked my CPU and it never went above 40%.
Will upgrading to the next highest iMac make a difference? The processor speed is the same, the only difference is there is 4gb ram instead of 2. I will try calling Apple, but I just thought I'd post in the meantime. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Not sure what 'the numbers 1,2,and 3 next to my first three tracks flash with a box' means but it could be something to do with the solution if its the Mute or Solo buttons flashing.
If you go into the Mixer you might find a track that's been soloed or muted that isn't on the arrange page. That's all I can think of from what you've said.

Export file even locked when closed ?

Hi,
i have closed the export-file using webutil´s text_io.fclose but it is still locked.
If i try to open the file with excel it says "the file is being used by another user ..."
The file will get unlocked when i close the form.
I´m using forms 10.1.2.0.2
How can i unlock the file ?

Before I ask you to check permissions on the drive you save your material and output files, try creating a new project, copy everything from the old one in it (highlight-copy-paste in new project) and save as with a new name. Does this work?

Files locked when Windows clients are connected to ML Server via smb

Hi,
I've got a problem with windows 7 clients that are connected to my MacMini Server.
When they open files on a shared folder, and modify them, files are locked when they try to save them.
I think it might be the op-lock option present in older versions of Mac OS X Server that can be involved, but it disapeared in Lion and older version of OS X Server.
Does someone knows how to activate/deactivate this option, or does someone already got this problem?
Server is a MacMini with 10.8.5 + Server 2.2.2
Clients are Windows 7
Thank a lot for your answers
Bertrand.

Officially, Adobe does not support opening or saving files to a server --- because so many different things can go wrong with networking.
The permissions error means that the file/directory permissions are incorrect on the file server, or that the OS or server is incorrectly reporting file/directory permissions.
Photoshop does more error checking than most applications, because we have seen so many problems in the past, and don't like applications silently losing or damaging files (which we see in other applications).
