Error 54 Can't save this Illustration. The file is locked
I am getting this message from CS4 Illustrator running on Mac 10.6.2 saving back to a WIn 2004 server via SMB connection. The file will save ok the first time, but from then on, the error 54 persist until you close the file and re-open it.
Has anyone seen this issue and been able to resolve it?
Thanks
From a Windows prespective it seems as thought the Error 54 means the network is busy. Sounds like it might be a time sync problem.

Photoshop CS 5.5 - "Could not save [filename] because the file is locked..........."
Hi,
We have a few iMacs here all running 10.8.4 - we have PhotoShop CS 5.5 and all the artwork etc is saved on a shared server ( Windows 2008 r2) and we are forever getting these problems......
Only in photoshop we get the following error message......
"Could not save [filename] because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privilege. Use the 'Get info' command in the finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders"
Can't see this been an access issue so really don't know whats causing this other than the fact it's just server based...
Please please please somebody help.I have been hqving this issue on windows after I upgraded to internet explorer 10 and using outlook (hotmail.com) to attach images to an email.
After a file saved via photoshop (i assum any programe not just photoshop will cause this problem) is attached in outlook to an email, IE10 will not let go of that file. meaning if you update the image in Photoshop and try and save over the existing jpg you previously attached it will give this error, file locked or file permissions needed etc.
Just posting this info incase you are using email to attach files and then getting these permisssion problems.
I work around it by closing the outlook browser tab (the email), so it lets go of the file, I can then save ontop of the file no problem, I then open outlook as needed. -
Whenever I close down Photoshop CS5 I get the message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the get info command in Finder to unlock the file or change permission on the file or enclosing folders." What on earth does it mean? How can I stop this message from appearing?
See here:
I cannot save recent images. -
When I quit Photoshop CS6, the following message appears:
" Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder."
If I try to change the Workspace in PS6 from Essentials to any other Workspace, the following messsage appears:
"Could not apply the workspace because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder."
I have checked the Sharing and Permissions section of the "Get Info" panel accessed from the Finder and I have set Read and Write Privileges for my user account for Photoshop CS6. System and Admin are also set to Read and Write.
I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Version 10.9.5 and have all available updates for Photoshop CS6, Lightroom 5 and Bridge CS6.
I tried uninstalling the program and downloading it again and reinstalling, but nothing changed.
Can you help?
Thanks,

Could not save Preferences because the file is locked?
Every time I launch Photoshop I have to reload third party extensions, and re-do preferences settings.
When I quit, I get a warning icon.
Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to acess the file.
Any ideas?
thanksSolved it after 8 hours of trying.
Hold down "Command" "option" and "shift" keys and open Photoshop. It will ask if you want to delete settings. Say Yes. You will have to reset everything but it clears the problem away instantly. -
FTP Then Access Denied. Can't save or open the file. Also don't have permission
I am going insane. When FTP'ing files from Dreamweaver to our
hosting server, it sends the file but from that point on, if I
attempt to open or save the file, I get this error message:
quote:
Access to
C:\Users\admin\Desktop\listcombo\Stylevantage1-0\index.html was
denied
Also, when I try to save after I have successfully FTP'd a
file, I get an error message saying I don't have permission to view
a file when I'm the one that made the file! It's so annoying! I
have Windows Vista and think that might have something to do with
it.
When I FTP a file to my server, close the file in Dreamweaver
8, then attempt to open it and get that "Access Denied" message as
I stated above, it seems like the only way to open the file is to
FTP the file BACK from my server to my computer. THEN it opens up.
Also, when I'm trying to save a file, say the index, I get a
message that has to do with cannot save file mfcesbi.tmp when I'm
trying to save the index... NOT mfcesbi.tmp. What's that about
anyways?
Also, I've done the whole "Right click Dreamweaver and set
permissions on the security tab" thing. Every possible permission
that I can check is checked to "allow" so that's not the problem.Who is your host?

How can I save or export the file containing stored usernames and passwords?
I'm about to update my desktop computer's operating system, which will mean my hard drive will be wiped. I want to save any file Firefox might have that contains usernames and passwords so I don't have to rebuild that file once Firefox is reinstalled. I've found such files for extensions and bookmarks but not for passwords.
In article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager#Backing_up_and_restoring_passwords
*'''Backing up and restoring passwords '''
**Firefox '''''3.5 and later versions''''', including current beta and nightly builds, use '''''signons.sqlite'''''.
*'''Troubleshooting'''
**Firefox '''''3.5 and later versions''''' use the file '''''signons.sqlite''''' to store the encrypted names and passwords. passwords.
**You can rename '''''signons.sqlite''''' to signons.sqlite.sav to make Firefox '''''3.5+''''' versions use the file signons#.txt from a previous Firefox 3 or 2 version.
***'''''3.5+''''' = same as '''''3.5 and later versions'''''

Error: "could not initialize photoshop because the file is locked..."
"... user the'properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file"
Hi,
I've allready read a lot about this, but I can't finde the answer :S
Why can't I find it?
I use Windows 7, all the fixes are for XP or MAC. Ctrl+Alt+Shift won't help. I get the properties menu, not the prompt that asks me to delete/reset some files.
Does anyone know how I can solve this?
== Since when do I get this message? ==
Since 1hour, I pulled out 1gb RAM out of my pc, and inserted 2gb. Now I have 3gb RAM. And now I have the error. I restarted my pc for 4 times and I ran the program as admin.
It works as long as I'm admin, but I don't want to be admin when I'm working with it because that could cause a lot of problems.
I tried if other programs had the same problems but Adobe Fireworks works fine, InDesign and Illustrator works fine too.
Please help!?
Thanks in advance,
Jelmer

Creative Suite 3I allready restarted my pc for 6 times
But with Ctrl+Alt+Shift you reset, you get a prompt popup, wich asks you to reset your prefs. I clicked yes, like you said. The problem is still there
this text is in the message: 'Delte the Adobe Photoshop settings file?' | 'Yes' | 'No'
It's so weird, I added 1gb extra RAM and now it won't work? wtf..? :S
Could it have to do something with my settings?

Could not save preferences because the file could not be found (Windows) then Error 1 on PS,AE,PR,ID
I was trying out Photoshop, everything was running fine then one day when I close it I get an error:
"Could not save preferences because the file could not be found..."
Now when I boot it I get the Configuration Error 1.
After Effects still boots, but it reset all my preferences there. For example the workplace layout was reset, all my saved Output presets were removed and my memory-cache and performance settings were reset again.
Premiere and InDesign get the error too and won't boot.
This is the second time it has happened, I'll try wiping every Adobe program and reinstalling all over again, but it had run fine before for a while and it randomly happened.
Any idea how to fix this?Nope I havent touched the Documents folder.
Forgot to mention that I'm on Windows 7 -

In photoshop CS5 i get Preferences cannot be saved because the file is locked
Hi my photoshop doesn't remember my preferences or anything (like previously opened files) since i upgraded my operating system, i get this message each time i quit: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders." but when i follow instructions and do it, it changes nothing. can someone @help me?
To where are you trying to export? An external hard drive? Is the hard drive formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?
If you are simply attempting to export to the internal drive of your Mac, let us know. -
Can't save my illustrator files. I keep getting "unknown error" message. Using version 6 on a macbook pro. OSX 10.9.5
42nato,
You may try the list (skip 5) in this case).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Infopath submit - how to hide - Save as dialog box - You can only save this file to the current site
HI,
I have a infopath form. In the submit options, i have used the below:
submit options -
sharepoint document library
Data connection - Sharepoint Library Submit
Doc library - lib location
File name: concat("User Info - ", ResourceName, "-", PersonalID)
Allow overwrite if file exists is checked.
When I try to save a record, I am getting a popup:
Save As:
You can only save this file to the current site
File Name: textbox
save location: doc lib.
save, cancel buttons.
How to override this save as option(save as option should not be shown to user), and save the file using the file name mentioned?
ThanksAre you clicking "Save" when you're using the form or "Submit"??
You should be using "Submit" and it will ... submit your form to the document library with the file name you specified.
To disable the "Save" button, click on "File" then "Form Options". Under the "Filler Features" area you can uncheck the box beside "Save and Save As". Click OK then re-publish your form. -
I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?
Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files. This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.
