I'm unable to set my files to "Locked"

How can I change a file so that it is locked? I'm the only user on this computer.
My profile is set to read/write on the file I'm trying to set to locked but I can only enable "stationery pad"
can somebody give me any advice?

Ah, OK! I've managed to recreate your problem. Here's the solution, it's a bit complex so read it through and ideally have it on screen on another computer or print it out first.
1. Go to  > System Preferences > Users & Groups
2. Hold down 'control' and click 'Login Options' near the bottom of the left-hand column
3. Where it says 'Network Account Server' in the main window, click 'Join'.
4. Ignore the input box in the pop-up dialogue, but click the button bottom-left that says ''Open Directory Utility...'
5. Click the padlock at the bottom of the new box and enter your admin password.
6. Go up to the 'Directory Utility' menubar at the top, and choose the menu Edit > Enable Root User
7. Type in the same password that you use for your admin accont and press 'return'
8. Go  > Log out (your user name)...
9. In the login window, type 'root' for the user, and your admin password for the password.
10. In the new desktop that appears, navigate to the file you want to lock. Do 'get info' and you'll NOW see that you can lock it!
11. After locking the file, go  > log out (root user) and re-login in your usual account.
Job done!

Illustrator CS4 problem loading: unable to set max files...

Haven't opened AI CS4 in a few months. Used to load just fine. Today it crashes when loading and I get this error message: 'Unable to set maximum number of files to be opened.' I'm running OS 10.4.11 on a MacBook. The rest of the CS4 suite opens just fine. I have already removed the preference file for Illustrator out of the user library and also removed the 'com.adobe.illustrator.plist' file. Restarted computer. Still can't open the program.

Unable to set JVM file encoding to UTF-8 on Windows

Hi,
I am running Tomcat on 1.5.0_05 JRE. I tried several things to set the jvm file encoding to UTF-8 instead of the default Cp1252, but no luck yet.
The most intuitive approach seems to be to use a JVM option like
"-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"
but this does not seem to have any effect. I have a WinXP pro m/c. I saw some bug reports which seemed to indicate that changing the JVM file encoding is not an available feature....is that correct? I would really appreciate any help/pointers on this. I will post the solution if I find something in the meantime.
Thanks,
Sriram

I am fail to set it too. I think it is better to separate the file.encoding into two, one for accept local OS, the other for compile .java and .jsp and so on files. So we can change it and the bugs will be decrease!

Unable to set JNLP file more specifically then version 1.6+ for JavaFX

The jnlp files produced for my JavaFX by NetBeans or the Eclipse plugin have <j2se version="1.5+"/>. When I launch my JavaFX applet from a page in my web-app, on machines with versions of java prior to ~1.6.0_14 the applet doesn't display. To try to force a Java update, I've been experimenting with the j2se version entry. I've got 1.6.0_16 on my development machine, and tried <j2se version="1.6.0_16+"/> and <j2se version="1.6.0.16+"/> to test out the jnlp. I expected that the applet would launch on my development machine, but the instead the java console stated that the version doesn't exist and the applet didn't display. I tried <j2se version="1.6.0_14+"/>, and I was warned that installing 1.6.0_14 would be a downgrade; I expected that my later version of java would pass the test and simply run the applet. What should I be using for the jnlp j2se version value to run properly such that a proper java update dialog is presented when necessary, and the applet just runs when the machine has a proper version of java installed?

Hi,
Try these 3 solutions
1. Did you start vncserver services as:
service vncserver start
2.Check that port 5901 has not been blocked by a firewall:
# nc -vz localhost 5901
You should get a connection and a termination. If you get an error, fix the firewall.
3. service iptables stop
Hope This Helps

Illustrator won't run: "unable to set maximum number of files to be opened"

I have an intel macbook pro (core duo with 2GB ram) and a copy of purchased adobe creative suite 2. Other applications in the suite like photoshop, acrobat, etc can run on my mac without any problem. But when I try to run illustrator, it just shows an error message "Unable to set maximum number of files to be opened" and quits. I also installed a trial version of illustrator cs3 and got the same problem. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hello Matthew,
You should also change your temp directory to something woth no spaces, something like C:\temp.
Sapisnt sometimes has problems with the spaces in the temp path, and the Universal Installer nearly always
has a problem with this.

Unable to set breakpoint in UIX file

I am trying to set a breakpoint in a uix file (within the xml itself ) and I receive an error. The breakpoint looks like it gets set in jDeveloper but the error displayed is:
Unable to set breakpoint ( searchRequest.uix ), unable to resolve Jave Package.
Can you not set breakpoints in the uix file itself? If not where should I look to set the breakpoint?
Thanks

More information: I have debug turned on in the uix_config.xml. I can see where it gets to the eventhandler named "goQuery"
<handlers>
<event name="goQuery">
<go name="query"/>
</event>
</handlers>
but the go is never executed.
04/11/18 15:03:35 Rendering page = Page[name=searchRequest]
04/11/18 15:09:28 Requested page = Page[name=searchRequest]
04/11/18 15:09:28 Event = goQuery

04/11/18 15:09:28 Parameter companyId=6999
04/11/18 15:09:28 Rendering page = Page[name=searchRequest]
It looks like the forward "query" is never executed and when executing the submit, it resets the page. I would like to step through this to see what is occurring so that I can correct whatever is happenning. But not know where to set break points in the uix page is frustrating.
Thanks

Unable to set as ringtone file is unprotected N73

I can transfer my mp3 to my N73 V 3.0716.1.5.1 without any problem PC suite.
They get converted either to m4a or aac format and I can listen to them.
However, when I want to set them as Ringtone I get the following error: Unable to set as ringtone file is unprotected
I was reading that this has something to do with symbian coding or whatsoever, but thats just above my level.
I am using XP service pack 2.
The MP3 files are encoded by dbpoweramp by myself.
I am gratefull for any advice.
Considering the N73 I have to say, Nokia should be ashamed to call this a multimedia phone. I own it for 1 week now, but discovered so many buggs already.

Unfortunately my provider is Softbank Japan (former Vodafone)
Is there any way to sneak around that?
How about that certificate manager, if I erase those symbian certificates, would that maybe help?

Unable to set kernel parameters using Reource Control

HI,
I'm trying to install DB2 8.2 on solaris 10.the problem i'm encountering in installation is unable to set MSGMAX and MSGMNB kernel parameters. I tried setting the new replacement parameter process.max-msq-qbytes through projects->Resource Control from the management console.but still uinable to set the parameters.
Can anyone help me in setting the above kernel parameters.
Its not possible to set it thru /etc/system.
thanx
guru

I finally had some time to find the actual syntax for tuning process.max-msq-qbytes and process.max-msg-messages. prctl will change those paramaters for an existing process.
As a proof of concept I changed process.max-msg-messages to a 64k. process 2221 is my shell.
prctl -n process.max-msg-messages -r -v 64k 2221
bash-3.00# prctl 2221
process: 2221: -csh

So long as I'm experimenting, I'll use projadd and add a new project which just includes me and not the rest of the users in the group staff.
bash-3.00# projadd -p 115 -U testuser \
-K "process.max-msg-messages=(priv,64K,deny)" \
-K "process.max-msg-qbytes=(priv,64K,deny)" \
user.me This creates the following /etc/project:

placer% cat /etc/project

process.max-msg-messages=(priv,64000,deny);process.max-msg-qbytes=(priv,65536,deny)After a reboot I checked the values by loging in under my user and running prctl.

...Solaris 10 has different tunables and default values from 8 and 9. It's default tunables should be good for most applications per a given system's hardware. There are some great blog articles, and discussions on opensolaris.org and blogs.sun.com on tuning that explain the intent of tuning and why we shouldn't have to tune.

This could be a Launch Services issue. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
BTW, if you’re running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

[CUPS] Unable to set my new CUPS server with an HP printer (solved)

Hello,
I come from Gentoo and I just installed my new Arch Linux server on a notebook with 2 NIC ... Now, I'm trying to set the CUPS deamon to share printer (HP DESKJET 895Cxi) for 3 workstations in my LAN. Before, it was working (printer and linux ... has never been very good...). But now, I'm not able, and it's about 1 hour I'm looking for a stupid error that I don't know if it's important or not ...
(all is on my Wiki : http://pix-mania.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php/Cups)
Here are a list of installed package : cups ghostscript gsfonts hplip
The printer (USB) :

When starting cups service, all is fine : I can use a workstation to browse the Web Interface ... but printer seems to be not detected since it tells "No printers." when clicking on "Printers" tab. So, I go to "Administration" tab and, under "Printers", I click the "Find New Printers" and again, it says : "No printers found.".
Not goot ... so, like I was doing with Gentoo, I click on "Add Printer" ... then, I receive a redirection to HTTPS ... click on the link (or wait) and nothing happend (timed out): web interface is broken for HTTPS ... I really got no idea why HTTPS is not working .
After that, when updating the configuration (with vim) and restarting the service, deamon won't stop and I have to send a "kill -9" to the cupsd pid ...
I look in log and I can just see this :
E [09/Jan/2011:18:19:55 +0100] Unable to set ACLs on root certificate "/var/run/cups/certs/0" - Operation not supported
I googled for one hour, but is not more working right now ...
Some questions :
- the printer is not detected? Is it because of the ACLs errors ?
- what the hell is "ACLs" for cups ? Never seen that before ...
So, right now, I got a working HTTP but not working HTTPS, with no printer available ... very useless
This printer is working "well" with cups, since it's an old model and it's a HP printer, so is "fully?" working on Linux ...
Any idea on what to do/try now ?
EDIT: after that message, I just refresh the page (I'm using Chromium) and ... magically, HTTPS was working (after accept untrusted certificate for HTTPS?) ... Then, go back to "Find New Printers" and now, it was working. Printer has been added ... Seems to be OK, but the "Print Self Test Page" doesn't work right now because of this :

EDIT3: I tested the ppd from cups (and not hpijs) and got the same problem ... The latest idea was to unplug USB and plug to another USB ... and it seams to works ... Now, the test page print "fine" ...
So, I shared the printer over my LAN, and tried to print from a workstation ... it works fine now ... when looking error_log, I can see than there is no more Ghostscript error .
But I have a last question .. if somebody can answer ... When choosing a PPD file, I have the choice between 3 version :
- hpijs, 3.10.9
- hpijs, 3.10.9.11
- hpcups, 3.10.9
Don't know why onlyl the HPIJS got the ".11" and not any others ... I selected this one and here is what Cups say about the printer :
HP_DeskJet_895C_USB_ES29Z231JKGO_HPLIP HP DeskJet 895C Local Printer HP Deskjet 895c hpijs, 3.10.9.11 Idle - "ready to print"
I hope when upgrading the system, I will not get error from PPD file not found ... With my current PPD file, I get (really not sure) this error, but print is working so, it doesn't matter :
E [09/Jan/2011:21:08:04 +0100] [CGI] Unable to create avahi client: No such file or directory

WD and their lack of support for Mavericks:
A recent email from WD reads:
Dear WD Registered Customer,
UPDATE: November 1st, 2013
As a valued WD customer we want to make you aware of new reports of Western Digital and other external HDD products experiencing data loss when updating to Apple's OS X Mavericks (10.9). WD is urgently investigating these reports and the possible connection to the WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and WD SmartWare software applications. Until the issue is understood and the cause identified, WD strongly urges our customers to uninstall these software applications before updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9), or delay upgrading. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks, WD recommends that you remove these applications and restart your computer. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks and are experiencing difficulty in accessing your external hard drive, please do not save anything to the drive, disconnect the drive from your computer, and contact Western Digital Customer Service at http://support.wd.com/country/ for further assistance.
The WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager, and WD SmartWare software applications are not new and have been available from WD for many years. However, solely as a precaution WD has removed these applications from our website as we investigate this issue.
Sincerely,
Western Digital
Which is basically Western Digital informing you that their out-of-date utilities don’t support Mavericks.
In any case those utilities are not the most effective. The moral of the story is: the first thing you should do after buying a WD drive is to format it as HFS Extended (Journaled) and not install ANY of their utilities but instead use reliable applications like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper - or Time Machine.

Unable to start Photoshop CS6 - could not open a scratch file because the file is locked (Windows)

When I first installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 I was unable to run Photoshop or Bridge CS6. Photoshop would give me an error about "could not open a scratch file because the file is locked. If I ran either of these programs as an administrator they would run without issue, this led me to believe that there was a permission issue somewhere. After some digging I found out the both Bridge and Photoshop try to create a temp file (similiar to Photoshop Temp2777223910092) on the c:\ drive of the computer. In my case the user that I was logged in with did not have access to write to the root of the C:\ drive. Note that you run the program as the administrator and change the scratch disk location as that changes the preference for the administrator user and not the user that you are currently logged in as.
To get around this issue I first had to give the user that I was logged on with write permissions to the root of the C:\ drive. Next try and run Photoshop, you will get an error another error about the scratch disk and about and invalid or missing setting file. To correct this you need to have run Photoshop as an administrator, next you can go to Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings and copy Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs and/or Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs to Users\<your logged in username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings.
Photoshop and bridge should now start up with no issues.
I hope that this can help others out there as this caused me a great deal of frustration when upgrading to CS6.

OK, here comes the explanation of what the scratch disk does and why it's optimal to have it on a physically separate internal drive (not partition!) other than your boot drive
I probably shouldn't say anything since it could complicate this thread, but the rules of thumb can be different under special circumstances when SSD is involved.
IF you have a LOT of empty space on your SSD-based system drive, then Photoshop can actually work great with it's scratch setting pointed at the system drive. This is because a) SSD transfers are much faster than spinning hard drives and b) there's no seek time, so simultaneous transfers to/from scratch and swap files aren't devastating to performance, and you can see a net gain because of the increased I/O throughput over what's possible using a separate spinning drive for scratch.
But if you don't have a huge amount of free space (hundreds of GB) on the system SSD, it's definitely better to use a separate drive, as station_two has said.
Also, up to about a year or so ago, you had to try to severely limit write activity to your SSD drive, since you could actually wear them out by repeated high data write activity. That's pretty much a non-issue now with the advent of things like the SandForce in-drive controller that does wear-leveling inside the drive. Modern drives will last 10 years or more in normal typical use, without special consideration.
As it turns out, making a RAID array of SSDs is a great way to boost performance across the board, have bunches of free space, and ensure even the heaviest usage doesn't shorten the drive life. I have done so, creating a 2 TB system drive C: made from 4 SSDs and Photoshop's swap file (and pretty much everything else) pointed to C:. This system flies, and I can barely tell when Photoshop and/or Windows "goes virtual" and starts using its scratch/swap files heavily. I don't even notice Photoshop auto-saves.
Sorry for the SSD diversion.
Back on topic:
Pretty much everyone who's successfully using a computer - Mac and PC users alike - comes to realize after a while that the task of integrating things on their computers and making everything work falls on THEM, not the developers of applications like Adobe. Some applications pose unique challenges, but to think you can just throw up your hands and try to make it someone else's problem when something goes wrong simply isn't a viable strategy. Maybe that's how things should be, but it's not how it is.
For those of you struggling to get Photoshop to run properly, bear in mind that it's on you to get things working. It works for most folks. It could be a configuration or setup choice you've made that may need revisiting, or some kind of restorative activity that you need to do, or even something very minor like clearing your Photoshop preferences, but it may well take your learning new things and doing things you didn't think you'd have to do to get back to where you can edit photos. It's no one's problem but your own.
So let us here on the forum help you - when we say to do something, try it. We're not here to jerk you around; we're users just like you who have already found the ways to make things work, and we'd like to help you do the same.

'Unable to open project File' Please help....

Help. Since yesterday, Final Cut Pro has been crashing every time I have tried to render something. I have used the FSC Maintenance Pack that has been recommended and ran Crash Analyser and Corrupt Clip Finder. No corrupt clips were found and the Crash Analyser fixed the problem for a while and I was able to work for a couple of hours. (prior to this I also removed some Motion files and that also temporarily stopped the crashing). I began working on my project again today, and the same thing started to happen. I kept having to turn everything off at the source until finally I gave up! Just before I turned it off I started running Autosave Cleaner but it seemed to freeze too so I Force Quit it. I have just turned it all back on again and to my horror, my project is not even opening. My other FCP projects are opening but not the one I am working on. I have no idea what to do. Final Cut opens and the message is 'Unable to open Project File'. I am so upset and really hope that someone out there can help.
I run 10.5.8, I have 10 GB memory. All my clips are imported as XDCAM EX 720p25 (original format MPEG HD) but I have been working in this project for weeks without a problem.
Thanks in advance
Gill

I don't know why it is set to the internal disk, but that is the default. That is not project related. It is system related (hence System Settings). So probably you started fcp one without the external disk attached. FCP forces you then to choose another scratch-, waveform-, thumbnail-, autosave location.
Probably you've set it all to the internal disk then.
Next time when the external disk was there again you might have only reset the scratch disk, but not your Autosave location... Just a thought.
That is, IMHO, the disadvantage of system orientated scratch disk settings...

"Unable to open project file" message in final cut express 3.5.1

I have (well had now) a project with 3 video clips and multiple .psd files as stills. When the project contains just the 3 video clips and a couple of transitions I can save the project and quit Final Cut Express and relaunch FCE and when I try to re-open the same project, it opens just fine, without any problems and just the way I expected it to be. After editing the same project for a couple of hours and saving along the way (this has happened twice now and I don't think the length of time of editing matters) and adding multiple still images to the 3 video clips (this part is new in my working with FCE); I save and quit. When I return to open the same project I get the message "Unable to open project file" and click the OK button, which is my only option and I am given a new blank project. So where did my work go???

Thank you for the response, but it hasn't worked yet...
I read the link. I am working off my internal drive.
I re-named the Capture Scratch folder, and any Render folders and then launched FCE. I was presented with a window that reads "To preserve the integrity of the data used by Final Cut Express HD, it is necessary to ensure the existance of the following path(s)" The path in the box below is where my project file and support files are. My 3 options are Quit, Check again and Reset Scratch disk. I choose the Reset Scratch Disk button and it took me to the Scratch Disk window and I Set/Created a new folder and clicked Choose and then OK back at the Scratch Disk window and Continue at the initial window... the Reset Scratch disk button is now labeled Continue. I am given a new Untitled Project work space. I tried to open my project file and once again with the message "Unable to open project file".
Where did I go wrong???

Unable to open project file. even though I just saved it.

Hi,
I just started back to work on a little FCE 2 video project after a couple of months. When I went to load the file, it said "Unable to open project file". I thought, "hmmm, I'm a beginner, maybe I'm not opening the right file." So, I made a new project with a clip and save it. Then I tried to reopen it. No go. Same message.
So, something is wrong but I can't figure it out.
My preferences are set to save the file on an external hd. The file icon shows up but says that the FCE project file has 0KB. How can that be?
I look using spotlight for the file, thinking maybe the file was saved elsewhere. It doesn't show up.
Sorry if this subject has been treated before. I searched the forum and didn't find a problem that matched my circumstances. One that was close.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Doug

Thanks for your reply Kyriakos.
Yep, I've tried the files in the AutoSave Vault and still Unable to Open Project File.
Also tried deleting the FCE preference and cache file, fixing permissions and doing a save as instead of a straight save, as outlined in the article below:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/good_apps_gonebad.html
It only has worked on one project which is the only file that opens now.
It's driving me nuts! I'm going to start doing some major jobs soon and can't have this happen. Maybe I'll try to reinstall FCE then if no luck it's time for a refund.
Would upgrading from FCE 1 to HD have anything to do with it?
Have you had any luck, Doug?
Pat

I'm unable to set my files to "Locked"
