Graphics are locked?

Hi,
I cannot select or move any graphics on a page. All layers
are unlocked as well. I tried re-launching application but still no
luck.
I've never encountered this before, and when I turn off &
on the layer the graphical elements I'd like to select lie, they do
turn on & off.
Any ideas??

Are the objects locked? Use Modify>Unlock. It's not hard
to accidentally
lock a selection with the keyboard shortcut.
I like to work with my Info toolbar open. It has a lock icon
which displays
the lock status of a selected item.

  • All files are locked, a new entry in permissions and more

    Following instructions from here on how to try to correct another issue, I was repair permissions and to boot in safe mode. Since then all kinds of things are messed up.
    I had to reset PRAM because the home and boot screens were were all stretched out of whack (this situation has occured once before shortly after getting this new machine)
    EVERY SINGLE DATA FILE created prior to this safe mode is now LOCKED. EVERY ONE!!!!!!  If I try to save any file so far I have tested, I am told the file is locked and I do not have permissions. My user mode didn't have administrative control before, but I changed that because unlocking everything to use it was more complicated having to enter the username and password. New files created are also locked. However, a new Pages file I have tested shows locked but it will save to the same file with a CMD-S.
    Having to unlock files to save work in them really slows work. Apple not allowing Save As on Apple apps is getting really tedious. I tried with a non-Apple app (PhotoShop) and its files are locked after creation. This means I have to unlock every stupid file before I can save it, then it relocks If I go into Get Info to unlock the file, as soon as i close that window, the file shows locked when I do a new Get Info. This is not a good user experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have hundreds of thousands of files used in publishing, graphics, photos, and music. I tried to save an existing Photoshop file back to the Desktop and was told I could not save because was locked - that I needed to unlock the file or enclosing folders. When Photoshop closes it says can't save Preferences because file is locked.
    If I unlock the Sartup drive it relocks as soon as the Get Info window closes.
    In Sharing and Permissions the user called Everyone has a custom settings and some files even have two Everyone entries. Newly created files have had the User with Read & Write and Staff and Everyone with Read Only. My user folder Get Info shows locked with the user, staff and everyone with Read & Write permmissions. If I unlock in Get Info it reverts to locked after I close the Info window.
    Safari opens to the same page on this forum where another problem was discussed. I have reset selected items in Safari that I thought might have caused this, but no change.
    Pages keeps opening a page that was thrown in the trash and is not even on the computer (at least doesn't show in the finder),
    Numbers keeps opening a file that was opened and saved days ago.
    iDVD will open the same project each time, even if something else has been worked on since.
    I have cleared recent entries in these programs and the field keeps coming back when I open again.
    I unchecked  the Restore windows when quitting option in General Sys Prefs and when I open it again it is checked. I know that Lion will reopen a page if I quit without closing the window first. Now, at least with Apple apps, the same file opens now whether it exists or not as well as the new file I am opening by clicking on it.
    I have run permissions check in Disk Utility several times.
    It seems that it is affecting Apple apps that remember where there were last and the visiting history.
    Autosave on apps other than Apple can't save because the files are locked and I get error messages.
    iPhoto files saved on a firewire drive are also show locked but testing on a duplicate file, I found I can edit with PhotoShop and it will save the changes.
    With Finale, it has saved the files, even though locked. The odd thing is that in the finder it shows the correct creation and modifided dates, but it shows an old last opened date. Pages documents show all three with correct dates/times.
    I suspect there is at least one if not more Pref plist files that needs to be fixed, but I have now idea where to start.

    HI,
    Make sure you are logged in as the admin user.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon then click: Get Info
    At the bottom of the Get Info window, click the gold padlock icon. You will be prompted for your admin password.
    Under Privilege where you see: Read & Write "toggle" the arrows to set your permissions for system / admin etc.
    Close the Get Info window.

  • Graphics are moving from their intended position in browser view

    I have a column of text with sub heads and a few lines of text below each subhead. I have places small graphics next to each subhead. I want the graphic to correspond with the subhead. When I view this in browser mode, the graphics scramble and lose their positions. Especially if you enlarge the view in your browser (Safari > command > plus) or reducing the view (command > minus). The graphics are skipping over and under text. Can I lock these into the respective positions?

    Hi,
    I would like to know if the backup program has been uninstalled?
    I suggest updating your graphic card driver from manufacturer's site and scanning the computer with your security software. Also test the issue in
    Clean Boot. If possible, try to reinstall problematic games.
    Best Regards,
    Niki

  • Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write. Still, documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder on the server. Techies can't figure it out here. What am I not doing?

    Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.

  • Service template problem - Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job - ID 2606

    Hello,
    I’ve finally managed to deploy my first guest cluster with a shared VHDX using a service template. 
    So, I now want to try and update my service template.  However, whenever I try to do anything with it, in the services section, I receive the error:
    Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.  To find out which job is locking the object, in the jobs view, group by status, and find the running or cancelling job for the object.  ID 2606
    Well I tried that and there doesn’t seem to be a job locking the object.  Both the cluster nodes appear to be up and running, and I can’t see a problem with it at all.  I tried running the following query in SQL:
    SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
    but all this gives me is an error that says - conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier msg 8169, level 16, State 2, Line 1
    I'm no SQL expert as you can probably tell, but I'd prefer not to deploy another service template in case this issue occurs again.
    Can anyone help?

    No one else had this?

  • Unable to remove a host from VMM - Error (2606) Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.

    I am unable to remove a host from my Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. I receive the following error:
    Error (2606)
    Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
    Recommended Action
    To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
    I have already tried running the following command in SQL Server Management Studio
    SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
    I received this error back:
    Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
    Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
    I have also tried rebooting both the host and the Virtual Machine Manager Server.  After rebooting them both, I still receive the same error when trying to remove the host.
    Here are my server details
    VMM Server OS = Windows 2012 Standard
    VMM Version = 2012 R2 3.2.7510.0
    Host OS = Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter
    Host Agent Version = 3.2.75.10.0
    SQL Server OS = Windows 2012 Datacenter
    SQL Version = 2012 SP 1 (11.0.3000.0)

    Hi there,
    How many hosts are you managing with your VMM server?
    The locking job might be the background host refresher job. Did you see any jobs in the jobs view, when the host removal job failed?
    If there is no active jobs in the jobs view when this host removal job fails, can you please turn on the VMM tracing, retry the host removal, and paste back the traces for the failed job (search for exception and paste the whole stack)?
    Thanks!

  • SAP BPC 7.5 (MS) - The members are locked.

    Problem occured when the processing time to clear down one TIME period of data took 3 hours on Fri pm.
    On Monday morning, I executed a Run Package > Clear > on the same segment.  It ran for 1hr and 10 minutes and I escalated to our Helpdesk for a server reboot (this has worked in the past).  The server was rebooted before I executed an "Abort" on the clear function.
    When the server was backup, I "aborted" the clear.
    Subsequent attempts are CLEAR resulted in the message "The current members are locked::(N'ACTUAL'<N'2011.JAN")(ACTUAL,2011.JAN).
    Things I had tried in order:
    1)  send data to one intersection of ACTUAL, 2011.JAN via EVDRE- failed - The current members are locked.
    2)  Full Optimize on application.  then repeated (1).  Same results.
    3)  Full Process on dimensions Category (ACTUAL) and Time (2011.JAN).  Process Application. Repeated (1).  Same results.
    4)  Tried sending data to ACTUAL 2011.FEB - success.
    5)  Tried copying data from ACTUAL 2011.JAN to other periods - success.

    Hi Connie,
    You will need your IT help desk to look at the database table called
    lck<YourAppName>
    in your AppSet database.
    You will need to clear/delete all the records appearing in that above table.
    Once that is done you should be good to go.
    Thanks,

    Contact Rhapsody to see if they have or plan to release an update for the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

    Contact the carrier the devices are locked to.  Apple has nothing to do with this and will not unlock any iPhone for end users.
    If the carrier offers unlocking and you meet their requirements, they will then submit the information to Apple to have the device unlocked.

  • Files transferred from external hard drive (backed up from pc) are locked. Can't unlock & can't delete them from Mac now.

  • File sharing between windows PCs creates tmp files that are locked

    Hey everyone. This is bringing an old topic back from the dead. Over the weekend we upgraded to Leopard Server 10.5.4 and am now seeing this same exact problem that was discussed here and never answered: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1290360&tstart=237
    Whenever a windows user opens a word document via smb it creates as follows:
    On a file called 'test save.doc', having been opened in Word, amended and saved I would end up with the following files.
    ~$st save.doc
    ~WRD0000.tmp
    ~WRD0001.tmp
    test save.doc
    These temp files are locked and can't be deleted from the users machines. they have to be deleted from the server hosting the files. Permissions are set thru ACLs and access to folders and files are working accordingly. But for some reason these temp files are being created on every word document that is opened and aren't being automatically removed after closing the document
    thanks for any help!

    the change that I made was to /etc/smb.conf
    acl check permissions = no
    I stopped the samba service, put that into /etc/smb.conf and restarted samba services.
    all seems to be well on the open frontier. hope this helps someone out

  • Trying to restore from TM but backups are locked.

    For the record, I'm running Leopard Server on an intel iMac, and using a WD USB drive for Time Machine.
    I'm trying to install a clean OS and then restore my files from backup using Time Machine.
    When I install a clean OS (with same admin account name), then mount the USB drive, all the files and folders of the TM backup are locked down.
    For example, in Finder the folders are marked with a red minus sign. In CLI as root (sudo -s) I cannot chmod, chown or chflags these files/folders.
    In CLI they look like this:
    $ ls -ladeO /Volumes/Time\ Machine\ Backups/Backups.backupdb/
    drwxrwx---+ 3 root staff - 102 Sep 4 16:30 /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/
    0: group:everyone deny addfile,delete,add_subdirectory,deletechild,writeattr,writeextattr,chown
    One level up looks like this:
    $ ls -ladeO /Volumes/Time\ Machine\ Backups/
    drwxrwxrwx 20 root admin - 748 Sep 23 23:22 /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/
    All other files saved to the USB drive via Finder or otherwise are not so-marked. Also, I can use the backup to do a full restore with no problem. (The backups also look like they have normal access/permissions again after a full restore.)
    Is there a way for me to use this set of backups the way I'd like (vs. full restore)? Also, any idea why this is happening?
    Thanks in advance!
    -Matt
    P.S. I also asked in the Time Machine forum. It was suggested that I also ask here since I am, after all, running Leopard Server. That thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1725161&tstart=0

    Bump.
    Any comments on my question or the linked thread? I've been able to make some progress, but still with snags. Is this related to using Time Machine with Leopard Server? I need to restore Applications as well as user accounts (just one), but not the whole machine.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can't delete trash because items are locked, but I can't find them

    When I used the mac backup software, it backed up EVERYTHING including applications and settings, etc. After I lost my harddrive, I replaced it from my external harddrive, but it put things on my computer that were already there on my new hard drive, like the application support and the caches. So, I dragged everything I didn't need into the trash, and attempted to delete them from my external hard drive (in my mac trash). However, nothing will delete, because it keeps stopping and saying things like "The operation cannot be complepted because the item 'wmphelp.htm' is locked. I will press continue, but there is an infinite number of things that are locked, and I always just end up pressing 'stop'. You might say just to unlock them, but I cant find them in the trash, there are too many folders, and too many locked items. I have about 5,700 items in my trash in all. And I can't drag it out of the trash either...it only copies it...
    Is there a way to override what is locked? Change preferences of all? Force the trash to delete? It is making it so I can't even delete simple files and because of this I have no more room on my hard drive.
    What can I do???
    P.S. I just now noticed that it is on a loop. 79 items that are locked, and then it starts over with the list. Ahhhhh!

    Restart the Mac in safe mode holding the shift key on startup.
    If Secure Empty Trash doesn't work from the File or Finder menu (I'm not at a Mac now, so I don't remember where that is found), try my software Force Empty Trash from this page*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/software.html
    Given the number of files, wait a couple hours before double clicking the Trash to discover whether or not it has emptied.
