File Sharing - notifying secondary users that a file is already in use

We are using a Lion server for file sharing. How can we set it up such that if one user has a file open, a secondary user opening the same file will be notified that the file is already in use (making it read-only)? We had multiple users opening the same file concurrently and making changes to it. Not a good scene and kind of flies in the face of using a file sharing system.
I am not the server administrator, but trying to guide the person who is. Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to find out which program/service might be opening these files?
Yes, use handle or process explorer from sysinternals. (see also).
How is your labVIEW program structured? Could it be that your LabVIEW program itself holds on to the file from e.g. a previous file IO operation? Make sure references don't become invalid (e.g. via a "use default if unwired output tunnel) which would prevent the file from getting closed properly for example. Your program should open the file once at the start of the program and keep it open for the duration of the run. This way you should not have any intermittent problems accessing it.

  • Can you notify a user that the file is opened by another user?

    Apologies if this is a repeat or redundant question....
    Is there a built-in (non-3rd party) way to have a user notified/alerted that the pdf is open by another user when they open the file.  I know the lock message pops up when you go to save a file thats opened elsewhere....but the problem is that the users un-aware of this until after they've done a bunch of work. 
    I perfer not to get into having to password protect the files, etc....just an initial alert is desirable.  Any inputs are greatly appreciated.

    There isn't such a mechanism in Acrobat/Reader.

  • File sharing with multiple users on one Mac

    I have two Macs, both of which ca seen each other across the network. My question regards file sharing with multiple users on the same computer. When file sharing, are the files from all users available across the network, or just those of the user presently logged in? The issue is that I am trying to access files from a user who isn't currently logged in, but another user on that computer is. I need to get into that person's documents, but I don't see a way to navigate to their documents folder.

    Right, I got that. But the computer is in constant use by User A, while I need access to User B's files. I could need access at anytime, and it would be a pain to make User A log off and log in as User B everytime. I was just wondering if there is anyway to access User B's files in this situation, without logging User B in.

  • File Sharing on Social Websites or with Revel fail at 98% using PE12

    I have been trying to upload a video and it keeps failing at 98% either when I attempt to load the file to a Social Website or when I tried using Revel.  I'm unfamiliar with using Revel but I have uploaded several files previously to Youtube and everything was fine.  This is the first time I've attempted to do this process with PE12 as I had PE9 before.   Any assistance would be appreciated.   Thank you.

    I was able to upload directly to Youtube through their website after creating a movie or file of my timeline.  I had hoped to by-pass this extra step by doing the uploading directly from PE12 but after multiple failed attempts, I choose to go the old way and just do it myself.

    Please read my experiences dealing with Adobe Revel in Add Media and in the Publish+Share/Private Web Album that is  incorporated into Premiere Elements 12.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/10/pe12-adobe-revel-add-mediapubli shshare.html
    I felt then and do now that the features were not ready for the inclusion in a video editor.
    As for PublishShare/Social Websites you should fare better with YouTube and Vimeo. I am not involved with Facebook so I have not tried the PublishShare/Social Websites/Facebook.
    To get a baseline on the uploading situation and your account with any of these websites, I would first look at exporting your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file. See PublishShare/Computer/AVCHD and one of website presets there. Then upload the saved file to the website at the website. Then evaluate the process for your website account when using PublishShare/and one of the Social Websites.
    Please check out the above and then let us know the outcome.
    Based on your reply, we can decide what next in troubleshooting Premiere Elements Private Web Album and Social Websites.
    Thanks.

  • The problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is blackcolor

    the problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is all black in color and i cant see what i'm picking how do i change that so i can see what i'm picking

    Is that Photoshop?  Depending on the version you could try to change the Color Theme (Edit | Preferences | General | Appearance).
    If that does not help, you may have a better chance to get a useful answer if you ask in the Photoshop or Photoshop Elements forum.

  • When I try to create a sync account, it says that my email is already in use but I haven't set up an account. Is there any way to reset this?

    I fill out all of the information to get a new sync account, but it won't let me create it because it says that my email is already in use. Is there any way to get my information or just reset the information with it?

    Hi Russ!
    Apparently you already configured your account but you don't have nor the key or the password. You can get the password in the [https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot following link] but you would need the Sync Key to sync your device to the rest of your devices.
    If you don't have the Sync Key the best thing you can do is to reset it, by deleting the previous account and creating a new one with the same user. You can perform this tasks from your [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ account dashboard].

  • Received msg that my MacBook is already in use and name changed to "Judys-MacBook-2.local"  Why would this happen?

    When I opened my Mac I received a pop-up that "Judys MacBook" is already in use and name is now changed to "Judys-MacBook-2.local"
    Can anyone explain why this would happen and if this is serious security issue? 

    Sometimes the warning means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    Sometimes a device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    A third-party wireless router that has incompatible settings or firmware may be the cause. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

  • After finally getting my imac from fedex,  cannot get past the Update Apple ID and to use ICloud I have to change my app  id.  okay, but the red keeps saying that email address is already being used.  is it because I am on the apple site on a netbook pc?

    On the Update Apple ID screen to use ICloud, I get a red message that email address is already being used.  It does not accept my email address?  I do not understand what the screen is asking me.  Is this because I am using the apple ID on a netbook for this note or what. 
    Is there a way to bypass this screen if I don't want to use ICloud?  I don't want to screw up the original setup of my imac.  If I could get to the desktop, then I would know what OS and programs are in my machine. 

    Hi, hopefully you've called Apple on this... you have 90 days free phone support.

  • I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have separate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.

    I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have seperate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.  I have tried many things and the only guess I have is that either someone else has this email as their iMessage but is fake or it wasn't taken off my old iPod when I reset it.  Any ideas on what to do?

    Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need.  I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use.  My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

  • That Apple ID is already in use.

    I just got my IPhone today, and I'm feeling a little ignorant here, but I cannot log into the app Find Friends.  It keeps telling me I have the wrong password, but I am using the correct password.  So I go to Iforget to attempt to figure out what is wrong and notice when I am in My Apple ID that I have a big yellow triangle with a ! inside that says:
    Make your Apple ID and primary email address one and the same.
    So, I attemt to do so and then in red appears the message:
    That Apple ID is already in use.If this Apple ID was created by you, simply sign in with your Apple ID and password.If it does not belong to you, try again using a different name.
    I am lost.  Heaven help me cause I can't help myself.  What is going on and what do I do? 

    I can ignore the yellow ! but that doesn't help that fact that I cannot log into My Friend app or Icloud because they keep telling my my password is wrong and when I go to figure it out in my account I get that error plus the message That Apple ID is already in use.If this Apple ID was created by you, simply sign in with your Apple ID and password.If it does not belong to you, try again using a different name. 

  • I'm trying an email address i know is mine yet still getting this message:"That Apple ID is already in use.If this Apple ID was created by you, simply sign in with your Apple ID and password.If it does not belong to you, try again using a different name."

    I keep getting this message:  "That Apple ID is already in use.If this Apple ID was created by you, simply sign in with your Apple ID and password.If it does not belong to you, try again using a different name."
    I'm trying to create a new id and e-mail using an e-mail address that is mine and has been mine for over a year - any ideas why this could be happening?

    Trying where? What sort of email address? The following answer is based on a guess as to what you are talking about.
    If you already have an @me.com address, perhaps as a result of having had a MobileMe account, and you are now setting up an iCloud account with an Apple ID you will find you will be asked to create a new @me.com address, and that you can't add your existing one because it is already an Apple ID.
    You can do one of two things:
    1. Sign out at System Preferences; sign in with your existing @me.com address and enable Mail.
    2. Stay signed in with the present ID and add your @me.com address in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
    If you have further questions, or if your situation is different from what I've assumed, do please post back, but in a suitable forum - this one is specifically about using these Forums.

    I get this error, too, and have been getting it since my app launched (about 2 weeks ago). My first email to [email protected] was met with a "We're working on it" reply, but they have been ignoring me since. Pretty frustrating.
