Error:  Burner is in use by another application

Hi everyone!
I just tried to burn a CD for the first time in a while and receive an error stating that the "burner is in use by another application."  I have no other applications running at this time and am running iTunes 11.01.
Is there something that I am doing wrong or can anyone help?
Thanks!

Feel free to purchase Toast at roxio.com.
I asked the question as in the Toast setup there is a dialog if you want to use Toast as your default burning program. If chosen it could possibly stop iTunes from burning. I am not sure if that is 100% correct but was offering ideas of where to look. Your update to 7.7.1 as you noted has cured the problem.

    One other thread said it was fixed by waiting till prompted by iTunes to insert the blank disk, instead of putting it in first. Does that work? Found a number of hits on this Googling.

    I'm unable to eject the CD since it not shown on the Desk Top. I have to restart the system to eject the CD?
    Very unclear as to what is happening?

    Your last email was returned with a technical Error
    Copy here
    Ok,
    My misunderstanding about which one was not working.
    Go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.ichat.plist as this will hold on to references to iUSBCam
    Also check there is no com.ecamm.iUSBCam.plist hanging about.
    Also check these two folders
    System/Library/Input managers
    and Library/Input managers
    You are looking for anything that says iUSBCam and also for SIMBL which is a folder and may have more iUSBCam things in it.
    (I can't remember which folder it is exactly)

  • Burner is in use by another application?

    Oh, so now I cannot burn CD from my iTunes playlist...I Force Quit everything else that was active. But for some reason it will not let me burn a CD. Any suggestions?

    There may be another user logged in currently. If so, log them out. If that doesn't help, try simply restarting.

  • Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

    Hello,
    I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry.  I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC.  In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
    It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
    As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
    So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.

  • "burner being used by another application"

    My iTunes has been working fine then all of a sudden today I couldn't burn a CD. I received an error saying, "burner being used by another application." However, no other applications in use. Have tried restarting. No good. I am able to burn audio CD's with Toast Titanium.
    Help!!
    Thanks

    Can you burn on the drive OUTside of iTunes? (just to verify it works at all on your system)

  • There was an error opening this document. This file is already open or in use by another application

    I cannot open any PDF documents. I receive one of two error messages:
    "There was an error opening this document. This file is already open or in use by another application."
    "This file is in use. Enter a new name or close the file that's open in another program."
    I do not know how to open the document in another program, so I am perplexed how it could be open in another program.
    I tried Repair the Adobe Installation from within Adobe Reader and from the Control Panel (Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\Uninstall or change a program) using the Change option. I'm assuming they are the same process, although I'm not sure. Neither method worked. I rebooted after each.
    I'm at work at a huge federal agency, so we're of course on a network. It takes several days to receive agency IT help, which is why I'm asking here. I can open Word and text documents. Nothing else seems to be amiss on the 'ol pc.
    Adobe Reader 11.0.05
    Windows 7
    As you can tell, I have only limited knowledge of the possible issues.
    Thanks!

    Shared network drive.
    I was not able to open the PDF documents via Notepad.
    Interestingly, and perhaps supportive of your hypothesis, I subsequently had problems with Outlook wherein I could not save or close an email I was writing because "you do not have permission." I rebooted my computer and now Outlook works fine (and it save my email, thank goodness), and I can open PDF documents.
    Hopefully it will stay this way. If not, I'll be back!
    Thank you very much for offering to help.
    All the Best,
    Mark

  • Word 2007 - Save as Pdf gives error - This file is in use by another application or user

    I have MS Office 2007 Small Business.
    For months I have been using the "Save as PDF/XPS" option to save my word documents as PDF files.
    All of a sudden, when I click on the publish button within the "save as PDF dialog", I get the error:
    "This file is in use by another application or user."
    - I have tried creating a new word document and I still get this error when I try to save-as pdf. 
    - I have tried opening a document that previously was able to be saved-as-a-pdf, and it no longer works either.
    - I have tried saving from other office applications (excel, powerpoint) that also get errors now.
    I have not personally installed any new software that I recall between when this worked and stopped working for me.
    As far as I can tell there have been no updates explicitly for save-as-pdf in office.
    Is anyone else seeing this problem all-of-a-sudden?
    Thanks.

    I just encountered this problem while trying to save a pdf from Excel 2007.  I had recently updated to Adobe Reader 9.1.
    I received the same error message you're reporting here when I went to Word 2007 and tried to save a pdf file from it as well. 
    I uninstalled Adobe Reader 9.1. 
    Reinstalled the Office 2007 pdf plug-in
    Successfully created pdf files from word and from Excel (which is what I needed to do in the first place).
    I then reinstalled Adobe Reader 9.1 so I could read the PDF files I had just created in Excel and word.
    I then tried to create pdf files from word and excel.  Error messages are back and I'm unable to create pdf's from word or excel.
    So.. why does Office 2007 pdf plugin not work when Adobe Reader 9.1 is installed?
    Frankly I'm getting tired of uninstalling Adobe Reader 9.1 every time I need to create a pdf file in Word or Excel.

  • Hi, I have a brand new imac which i got today and when I open Iphoto all i get is the error message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" any ideas? thanks

    Hi, I have a brand new imac which i got today and when I open Iphoto all i get is the error message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" any ideas? thanks

    Are there photos in the Library? If not then just trash it and launch iphoto. It will make a new one.
    If there are pics in it then Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Why does iPhoto give me this error when opening it " Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"

    Good Day. I have been trying to open my iPhoto and i keeps giving me the following error message " Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable " Then it suggests I push the Option and Command button at time of opening iPhoto and the 4 options given do not work as well. My operating system is OS X Vers 10.8.5. Not sure the iPhoto application as it won't open for me to tell.
    Pls help . Im afraid of losing all my pics.

    Make a back up now. If you have any vaule in Your photos always have a back up.
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    In Library Manager the Rebuild command is under the File menu. There's also an excellent Help available.

  • I-Photo keeps coming up with the following error -Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable.

    Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable. The solution suggested is restart and hold option/command down. I have done this and the options given make sense but when I try to run any of the suggested solutions the same error comes up as above
    We have back ups to Time Machine but I am concerned that these backups may be corrupt as well so before trying I wish to try and repair
    Has any one come into this issue before?
    Running Mac OS X (10.7.5)
    Thank you

    Tell us more please - so it is hard to guess.
    Sometimes really another program is using your library - then a simple "restart" of the system should fix this. If iPhoto is trying to open the wrong library, you may be seeing this error message. Then try to switch to the correct library by holding down the ⌥-key while launching iPhoto.
    If really something is wrong, weneed to know more:
    When did this start? Have you been importing new photos? Did iPhoto crash? Have you moved your iPhoto Library to an external drive? Where is your iPhoto library located? If on an external drive, how is the drive formatted?
    Also, what is your version of the iPhoto application?
    Have you updated any software recently or installed new software, before the problem first occured?
    Have you run any maintainance programs, that help to clean your Mac, like MacKeeper?

  • Z22 sync with Win7 64 bit via IR: error that port is in use by another application.

    I've read the solution for syncing a Z22 with Win7/Vista 64-bit. I have a USB-to-IrDA adapter that is working. I've set Hotsync on both the Z22 and PC to Infrared. When I start to sync, I get a message on the Z22: "Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application". I can beam files from the Z22 to the PC with no problem.  I'm not aware of any other app using the port. (When I put the Z22 in range of the IR adapter, the "send files" window comes up on the PC. I've tried syncing with this window open and closed, and the error's the same either way.) Any suggestions?

    Message Edited by jpendle on 12-01-2009 01:27 PM

    We followed a suggestion from another post.  And I wanted to add it here since it helped us after a lot of struggling.  We connected/synced a Z22 to windows 7 64 bit PC via a IR adapter Startech USB2IRX. Using a driver downloaded directly from their website, not the CD that comes with the adapter, driver installation was smooth. The installation application installed it without problems. (I also tried an adapter from cables unlimited IrDA wireless bridge. Then I had to install the drivers for windows vista 64bit manually onto my win 7 64 bit machine.)  After driver installation, we were getting an error indicating that the port is in use by another application.  And we were stuck until I read a post which suggests a soft-reset on the palm.  After that it was smooth sailing.
    Palm really is going the way of the dinosaur-otherwise they would have had a usb driver for windows 7 64 at this point. But it you need to as I did you should be able to sync your device.

    reboot your Mac
