Could not save as - The file may be read-only or is already open in another application

Can anyone think of a reason why if I'm working locally on a CS3 Flash .fla on my C: drive that I would get the error:
Could not save as: C:\Users\John\Desktop\Project_File\ANNUAL REPORT RELEASE\01-19-11\report_stragegy.fla
The file may be read-only or is already open in another application. Save using a different name, or close the document and try again.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
It happens sporadically. I haven't been able to find a reason why this error pops up when saving some of my .fla files!!
The files are not set to "read only" when I right click on them and choose 'Properties' in the Windows 7.
I found some somewhat similar situations with saving errors:

Sometimes I can save with a different file name. But sometimes I can't and start a new blank document and cut and paste from the one that won't save to the new untitled document.

Saving issues: "The file may be read-only" error message

I do a lot of scanning to pdf and will often have to add a newly scanned page to an existing archived pdf then resave it.
I have a very consistent workflow and use two screens. The folders that contain the archived files are always on my second screen while I work on the main screen.
After I have inserted the newly scanned page into the existing pdf very often I get an error message that the file cannot be saved:
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
I am the only user, none of files are read-only, and I am certain that the file I am resaving is not selected (I can see that on my second screen).
Sometimes if I just click on the second screen to another folder it'll let me resave, but other times I have to close Windows Explorer completely.
I like to avoid renaming files: it's important to that the original filename be retained.
This seems to be happening a lot more with Acrobat X Pro than it did with version 9. This is highly annoying.
Any known workarounds?

The folders that contain the archived files are always on my second screen
If in Windows (a Mac user would have to speak to this for that environment) -
If Windows Explorer is "focused" on the file (i.e., file selected) or has "focus" on the file(s) parent folder/directory you will get the alert dialog.
Close Windows Explorer or place its focus elsewere.
Also, if the preview feature is used for files within a folder (or for files in nested sub-folder) you'll experience similar "speed humps" in the work flow path.
Was not always this way but OS updates (XP, Vista, etc.) appear to have given us some nifty new options that, coincidentally, pose some gotchas.
Be well...

The file may be read only

Every so often (approximately every one in three times I try to save), I get the message 'The file may be read only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder'. If I carry on working and then try to save it a few changes later, it sometimes successfully saves the file. Often it takes several attempts, but eventually it does save it. This happens with all my Illustrator files, they aren't read only and another user doesn't have them open. I'm using a trial version of CS5 and Windows 7 on a personal PC (I still have CS4 installed too - I don't know if it's something to do with this). Anyone have any idea what could be causing it?

It may be that you were using a font temporarily that was located in a directory that was read only or an image that was placed in the fie or another type of art placed in the files that may have the permissions restricted by accident. It could be that the scratch disk contains some sort of file that you are using and it has a restriction on the permissions as well.
Check to see if there is permissions problem on any of your directories or folders.
There may also be the possibility if you are e-mailling samples of the file that it is in use or at least your system and ai thinks so.
But it mostly sounds to me like the scratch disk needs to have the permissions corrected and that after a few attempts you end up clearing the cache so it is no longer using the scratch and then you are able to save it. Now I am not an engineer but this makes sense to me.
But it may simply be a problem with the settings folder and yiu can try this as well.
1. Quit Illustrator.
2. Rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) in the Users/(user)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings folder.
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

Cannot save the file may be read only

Does anyone know how to save a current PDF in Adobe Acrobat X pro if getting "the file may be read only, or another user may have it opened. Please save document with a different name or in a different folder" windows 7. The file has not been opened by anyone, and this happens when I amend the document and try and save again. I have turned off "protected view" within the preferences. Deselected the file in its folder, and turned off the preview pane in the explorer window.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get around this? thank you.

Chances are it is a problem with the preview being turned on in Explorer. You might try closing Explorer, changing it to a different folder, or turning off the preview (the typical solution).

Can't save the illustration. The file may be read only, or the file is in use by another applicatio

Getting error "Can't save the illustration. The file may be read only, or the file is in use by another application." The file is not read only and is not in use by another application.

The same thing may happen in Windows Explorer, specifically if it is a very big file (physical size), so preparing the preview may take a lot of time.
In that case it is used by "another application", that is: Explorer.
By the way, which version of Illustrator are you using, Tetons?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help!

Hi there Ira Fletcher,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. Note: While the article was written for printer issues, many of the same troubleshooting steps apply to scanners as well.

When i try to open itunes on my mac a message comes up saying The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"

In office 2013 xls file showing the document may be read only or encrypted

Hi,
I am using office 2013 home and business edition.
I got an error while opening the file with .xls extension
from my computer and the same file if i access from different pc
it is accessible.
Please help me it's very urgent........

Hi,
Do you get the whole error message like this:
Excel cannot access filename.xls. The document maybe read-only or encrypted.
If yes, and the files were stored in local disk, this might be happened because you are accessing a file which has read only permission or permission not set at all. Please go to properties of that particular file and uncheck the read only
check box. if the box is not ticked, then tick and un-tick it and apply. This will replace the file permission.
If the files were stored in network share, please try to remove the two files from the network share (copy them to your desktop). Open each file and save it and then copy them back to the network share.
Hope it's helpful.

When a win7 users accesses a file on the server the permissions on the file revert to read only.

Hi there,
Originally my enviroment was 100% Mac, but now we have merged with another company who are all PC users.
The issue I'm having is when a Windows 7 client accesses a file on the Snow Leopard server the file becomes Read Only, and I have to manually propergate the permissions to fix it. This isn't an issue with XP users.
So far this is only happening with Excel files.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
J

I'm having a similar issue as well. Excel 2007 appears to be the culprit, but hard for me to say. Running 10.6.8 here as well.
