Disconnection failure: "in use by other application..."

I need some tips from ipod/computer freaks!!
connecting my iPod to the Mac computer works fine, also copying of new music files, but then everytime it won't disconnect because "files are still in use by another application" - which can't be true because I quit itunes and reopened. And don't tell me I have just to "eject" because I know perfectly how to do that, I tried using either ejecting by simple mouse click, the lower right corner button, or just dragging the ipod symbol into the trash - but nothing worked, it always shows the "in use" window, also restarting of the computer failed and got stuck, I had to reboot the computer and just disconnected the ipod then.
This worked, I could hear my new copied music on the ipod but it can't be that it will be everytime like that! what's the problem with my computer?
does this happen to other ipod/Mac user also, and what do you usually do???
thanks guys, hope you can help!

Same problem here, till Apple fixes this bug which seems to happen after I Tunes 7 and or I pod 1.2 update. Just quit I Tunes and hilite the Ipod Icon on your desktop and hit Apple and E keys or just drag icon to the trash. That'll do it ,Only fix for now.

Using Final Cut Pro, can we create a subtitle which can be used in other applications?

You can create a title and export it as a video file to be used in any editing app but you won't be able to alter the words or layout once it has been exported.
Export as ProRes 4444 if the title has alpha channel otherwise you'll lose the transparency.

Try disabilng the Enable Disk Use option from under the iPod's Summary tab, applying the changes, and seeing if that helps.
Otherwise, temporarily disabling any antivirus, security, firewall, or file indexing software that may be running on your system and then try restoring your iPod again.

Web Cam being used by other application

I have a web cam that says is being used by other application when I try to Skype. I look at System Profiler and it says under hardware I have a SiGma Micro.
Why does occasionally comes on but is very dark and cloudy. How do I check USB to see if this is really the camera that is connected. The web Cam is self has not logo or company markings. I tried unplugging and switching ports with keyboard and mouse does nothing. What can I do?

Vel,
As the error say, another application could be holding on to the webcam. What application are you using for your video chat? Check your task manager processes and see if there's any applications that could also be using the webcam feature like MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc...and end their task if you're not using them.

Isight used by other application

Hi!
I have a problem with my isight which happened from one day to an other. The camera is recognized by the system I already checked in the System Profiler, however I still cant use it with any of the applications since it keeps telling me that it is in use by an other application.
Any ideas?I've tried everything I could think of and what I read about here and there.
Thanks!

Welcome to Discussions, DaniellaG
First check to be sure you do not have any forgotten or unknown login items or widgets that are using your iSight.
Then, if the problem remains, and if you have tried everything (except contacting Apple for service) in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 without success, and if you get no better help suggestions from other iNtel Mac users, ...
(0) Disconnect everything but your internet connection and restart your MacBook.
(1) Repair Permissions
(2) download http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__Intel
(3) install the 10.4.11 Combo Update
(4) After the restart that completes the install, immediately Repair Permissions again.
(5) Check whether your application software (more than one application if possible) now properly uses iSight.
(6) If it works now, reconnect any peripherals you disconnected, and check again.
(7) If nothing else works, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

IPod cannot be ejected due to use by other application?

How do I get my iPod ejected? I'm not sure what other application is using my iPod.

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.

I am Having iPOD Classic 80GB.On Sync. a message tells that it is not able toread the ipod contents -restore to factory settings-on restoring it tells that it can not be restored as it has files that are used by other applications. Pl advice

Try disabling any and all A/V or security software you are running on your system and see if that helps.

TS1425 I cannot eject my ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc. It states some of the files are being used by other applications. What does this mean? How can I get it to eject?

I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?

If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected. Try ejecting again after the restart.
If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage. When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes. This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.

Game port already in use quit other application and try again?

ok didnt know where to post it but, i got a mac mini and im up to date on all updates. I play warcraft three frozen throne computer game on it. I play a few matches or so in custom games then boom a message pops up saying that another application is using a needed gaming port, please quit other application and try again. I have no idea what it is talking about because the only thing im running is warcraft three. I have no clue how to fix this, so if anyone knows please help me out here.

Thanks Mr. Goodwin - that was the high tech way of finding who is using port 8300.
I did a low tech search - edited hyperion/logs/ configtool.log and found that a previous administrator configured Planning to use that port:
+(May 05, 2008, 10:30:23 PM), com.hyperion.cis.config.wizard.Tomcat5DeploymentPanel, DEBUG, Checking for valid Tomcat serverName+
+(May 05, 2008, 10:30:23 PM), com.hyperion.cis.config.wizard.AppServerDeploymentPanel, DEBUG, Deploy component [1]: Planning+
+(May 05, 2008, 10:30:23 PM), com.hyperion.cis.config.wizard.AppServerDeploymentPanel, DEBUG, Server Name: HyperionPlanning+
+(May 05, 2008, 10:30:23 PM), com.hyperion.cis.config.wizard.AppServerDeploymentPanel, DEBUG, Listen Port: 8300+
+(May 05, 2008, 10:30:24 PM), com.hyperion.cis.config.wizard.Tomcat5DeploymentPanel, DEBUG, Checking for valid Tomcat serverName+
Question now is this, since Planning has already been configure to use Tomcat at port 8300, why can't I configure it to use that port again? Anyways, I guess I should not select "Deploy to Application server" on the Config tool.

Camera in use by other application?

iChat AV 4.0.3 (605)
Hooked up my new JVC Everio (GZ-HD6) via firewire but iChat says that the camera is in use by another application. I do not have any other video applications open. I even restarted the computer (I did have iMovie HD open previously) but still iChat thinks the camera is "busy".
iMovie sees the camera just fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Roger

Does the camera have a setting for plain old DV output. (and 4.3 three if you don't want it Letter-boxed)
iChat tends not to see anything else from Firewire cameras.
Have you tried Shutting down the Computer and restarting ?
Do a full shut down and use the power Button to Restart (not the Restart Option)
If that does not work, then try the second part of this FAQ by Gulliver
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640
It suggest running the CRon Scripts with OnyX or Cocktail (MacJanitor unfortunately does not work in Leopard) The others come as Trials and do other things.

Camera not working in Photobooth-in use by other application or not connect

Upon entering photobooth, the internal camera is reported to be either in use by another application or not connected. It doesn't appear to be working in other applications either. Any suggestions?

Can remote speaker functionality be used for other applications?

I can use remote speakers through AirPort Express with iTunes. Is it possible to use remote speakers for sound output from other applications like Safari?

yes. you need Airfoil.

ITunes shut down scripting interface used by other applications

Everytime I try to close iTunes I get a dialogue box stating:
"One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?" Kind of annoying, anyone know how to fix this?

This is a fairly common annoyance. iTunes has a scripting interface that a host of applications use to talk to it. It could be any one of a number of processes that are running at the time. Usually it's some other media related application that can synch to an iPod but it could be some unsuspect application as well, logitech setPoint for example is often sited. To find out, see whats currently running in the background (Press <ctrl><alt><delet> and click on the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager). Make a list of suspects then try shutting down those applications. You have Task Manager end the process, but only if you know which ones are safe to terminate. Once you find the culprit you can possibly make that application run manually or remove it. Otherwise you just have to live with itunes quirks.

DWCC File:Open tries to use EVERY OTHER APPLICATION to open file

Hi
I'm on Dreamweaver CC and when I go to open a file it tried using my CS6, CS5.5, CS5 and finally CS4 versions of Dreamweaver to open the file (a .cfm file). I uninstalled ALL of those files and now, when in Dreamweaver CC I go to File: Open it automatically opens Apple Numbers, attempting to open the file.
Anyone know how to actually open a file with Dreamweaver and get Dreamweaver to actually open it?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

If you don't want to add the Legacy Extension or get the paid extensions from DMXZone, and you're a CC subscriber, you can have both DWCS6 (with database functionality by default) and DWCC installed at the same time under the same subscription (no additional cost). They just don't run at the same time.
Here's how you add DWCS6 through the Creative Cloud...

Maybe if enough people request that the database features get added back, Adobe would return them to the program? It's happened with other features.

Dreamweaver as code generator for use in other applications?

Hello and thank you in advance for your time and your help!
I realize and apologize for this lengthy post but I had to explain my issue thoroughly...
I've just begun teaching myself to use Dreamweaver CS3 (on an iMac running OS X 10.5.8 - Leopard) with the "Dreamweaver CS3 Missing Manual". I don't know HTML or CSS but am very willing to learn as much as I can. In the near future, I hope to create a new website for my domain in Dreamweaver. However, I have an urgent and immediate need and would like to know whether Dreamweaver can serve a specific purpose...
My question is whether I will still be able to accomplish the following (even if it is by different means) once I convert to Dreamweaver from FrontPage AND whether or not I should abolish all of the current files at my web server and remove FrontPage extensions before I invest any time into making Dreamweaver my new tool for website development and maintenance.
I have a domain hosted by GoDaddy and a rather old website that I created using FrontPage 2002 (on a Windows XP desktop). For over 5 years now, I've used FrontPage so that I can work WYSIWYG to generate HTML code that I use in my eBay auction listings. Recently, however, the "network folder" for my web server (on the Windows XP desktop) stopped accepting my password and I cannot find a fix for it. It's my opportunity to finally break from FrontPage but I'm hoping that, before I do, someone can tell me whether or not Dreamweaver can serve my interim and long-term purposes.
I've been uploading image files using the "network folder" in Windows XP that I set up with FrontPage over 5 years ago. I "drag and drop" or "cut and paste" image files from my computer to my web server in Windows Explorer via the "network folder". Once the images are on the web server, I open FrontPage and ensure that the images show up in my web server files. I then open an existing .html document that I have saved on my hard drive, replace text and images within the file, save the file under a different file name, and then switch to code view where I copy the code directly from FrontPage into my eBay listing. This works perfectly well and has for over 5 years. I do not publish these .html files to the web, nor do I upload the .html files to my web server. They exist only on my hard drive and simply to provide the underlying HTML code for the eBay listings and nothing more. This method allows the images in my eBay auctions to be automatically sourced to their location on my web server without requiring me to do anything more than insert the image(s) from my web server into the .html document/file.
I think I'm discovering that Dreamweaver works specifically with websites and I'm wondering whether I can use it more generically in this way. If I'm learning correctly, Dreamweaver is quite particular about web server files having an exact match to a root folder on my hard drive. I've defined my site within Dreamweaver and I've since downloaded all existing files from my web server to my hard drive within a folder that is designated as the root folder. However, when I now open an existing .html document (one originally created in FrontPage and stored on my hard drive only) and replace an image (by cutting the existing image and dragging the other from the "remote view" of the "files" pane) with one that exists both on my web server and in my root folder, Dreamweaver makes the source/reference path point to the image file on my hard drive and, as you know, that won't do if I transfer that code to my eBay listing. So I've uploaded the actual .html file to the web server within Dreamweaver (something that I never had to do with FrontPage) and now I can change the HTML code manually (or the source in the "properties" panel for the image) for the image source to include "http://mydomain/..." (it doesn't include that automatically as FrontPage did). That now seems to make the code work but I have to store my .html files on the server and I have to make that manual change.
My question is whether I will still be able to do accomplish the following (even if it is by different means) once I convert to Dreamweaver from FrontPage AND whether or not I should abolish all of the current files at my web server and remove FrontPage extensions before I invest any time into making Dreamweaver my new tool for website development and maintenance.
Thank you very sincerely for taking the time to read this and for your response and good advice!

Get Turbo Lister (a free page editing and listing tool from eBay).
http://pages.ebay.com/turbo_lister/
eBay uses some seriously flawed markup on their auction pages. In fact, they don't even ALLOW you to use good code. You're better off using their proprietary tools for this. IMO, DW is not the right tool for creating eBay pages.
When you're ready to build a serious web site, come back to Dreamweaver.
