Lock file or folder?

Is there a way to lock a file or folder - requiring a password to access it?
(making a secure note in Keychain Access is the only way I know)
thanks
Pete

Hard to see how a Mac-user would find much use in a bit of Windows software.
Fortunately, there are Mac solutions. Here's one: Open Disk Utility, click New Image. Set up things the way you want, with Encryption set to anything other than None and Image Format to "sparse bundle disk image". This creates an encrypted disk image. Open the disk image to mount a "disk" on the desktop. As long as it's there, you can read from and write to it. Put any files you want encrypted in there. When you are done, "eject" the disk image and it locks up tight. Only the password will open it back up at that point.

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

I have a folder and 3 files stuck on my desktop. When I drag them to the trash I am asked to enter my administrator's password. I do this but the files and folder will not delete. I have checked 'Get Info' on each of them and they are not locked?

I have an empty folder and 3 .jpg files stuck on my desktop. When I drag them to the trash I am asked to enter my administrator's password. I do this but the files and folder will not delete. I have checked 'Get Info' on each of them and they are not locked and I have full read & write access. Grateful for any assistance in solving this problem.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
ls -@Oaen De* | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.

Firefox loads with "parent.lock" in profile folder. Can't get beyond start-up page on the internet. Creating a new profile & deleting old profile in ProfileManager did not solve prblm. When I start Firefox the file is back. scan disc found nothing

Every time I open Firefox I can't get beyond the first page. No connection to internet. It just says "connecting" and hangs. I create a new profile and delete the old one and I can start firefox and get to the internet, but when I shut the system down, the next time it will not go beyond the first opening page and the "parent.lock" file is present in my profile folder.

Identifying the process or user that has a lock on a folder or file

In Windows Server 2008, it was easy to identify the user that had a lock on a folder or file. As a last resort, you could always log off that user to release a lock.
In Windows Server 2012 R2, as far as my limited understanding, it is more difficult to identify which user or process has a lock on a folder or file. Is there a MS or third party technique or tool to achieve this?
I looked at the third party tool called Unlocker, but I think that that does not work on network drives.
Many thanks.

Hi Keith,
This is bit difficult in GUI.
As mentioned by Mandy, try powershell
Use below to get all the open files:
Get-SMBOpenFile | flFileId              SessionId           Path                ShareRelativePath   ClientComputerName ClientUserName
4415226382229       4415226380377       C:\ClusterStorag... VM4\Virtual Mach... 192.168.102.14      Contoso\Contoso-HV2$
4415226382237       4415226380385       C:\ClusterStorag... VM4\VIRTUAL MACH... 192.168.102.14      Contoso\Contoso-HV2$
Identify the interested path and note the 'FileId', ClientComputerName (Is the user Workstation IP)
Use below cmdlet to identify if Locks(1) is Enabled on that path not.
Get-SmbOpenFile -FileId 4415226383569 | Select-Object -Property *ClientComputerName    : 192.168.102.14
ClientUserName        : Contoso\Contoso-HV2$
ClusterNodeName       : Contoso-FS2
ContinuouslyAvailable : True
Encrypted             : False
FileId                : 4415226383569
Locks                 : 1
Path                  : C:\ClusterStorage\Volume2\VMS\VM4.VHDX
Once you find the correct FileId, use below command to ping and find the workstation name having the Lock,
ping -a <IP address>
There are few more cmdlets that you might be interested in.

Locking up a File or Folder?

I know that I can secure my entire computer with an admin password, and I can secure my Home Folder with FileVault, but what if I only want to secure one file, or one folder?
Is there a program within OS X or a third party program that would secure an individual folder or file with a password so the file or folder could not be opened without the password?
Not only do I need to protect the file from being changed, but I also need to be able to keep that file from even being read.
Thanks, Panther

The issue is fixed.
Our XML Publisher TMP is not defined, so it uses the APPLTMP used by concurrent manager. There is a folder xdofonts/<SID> in $APPLTMP. It contains the fonts used by XML publisher and on the of font file (.ttf) was 0 byte. We copied the ttf file from QA. And it started working.
Best practice is to define diffent TMP for concurrent managers and XML Publisher.

Can't upload file to Sharepoint "The URL is invalid. It may refer to a nonexistent file or folder, or refer to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web.

Hello,
I do database/SharePoint upgrades for SQL and or SharePoint or moving to new servers frequently. In a nutshell, I backup the database (run the upgrade tools if necessary), load new server and sql software and restore the db, load but
not configure SharePoint, and add the content db that was resotred through powershell. I have never had any big issues with this before. This time, I have done this same procedure as there is a new domain and new server.  Server and
SQL 2008R2 and SharePoint 2010 on both old and new servers - just new server and new domain. I have done this twice now (as it is a virtual server) and I have the same issue. I can't check anything in or upload anything new. I get the error
- The URL '<path to the file and filename>' is invalid. It may refer to a nonexistent file or folder, or refer to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web. I have made sure
that my database and log files are on a drive that has plenty of space (db is not restricted to grow). I have made sure my database is not locked. I have checked to see that I don't have version in my indexed columns in that library (I
don't have any). I have checked that my recycle bin is on in central admin. I am not using RBS. I have turned on verbose logging and found the following when I searched on the correlation ID from the error message - it is saying invalid
column name extension. I am not sure what to do at this point. I can see there is a column in SQL called extension in the AllDocs table. Thanks.

I have fixed it. I did a backup of the database and log file 2 times. I also did an upgrade-spcontentdatabase command in the sharepoint powershell. Not sure why it worked, but I had read online about upgrade issues from WSS2 to WSS3 to 2010
and I thought maybe something did not fully get upgraded even though this has been in use for 2 years since the upgrade.

Issue with lock file in Oracle 10g app server - MDB not running

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g & MQ 6 on my laptop. I generated JNDI bindings for app server-MQ by giving ip address of my machine first. Then i changed it to "localhost" & generated new set of .bindings file.
With this new set i am able to send messages from my program to a queue. I also have an MDB which should listen to the same queue.
However now my mdb is not listening to the queue & i suspect it is due to host address change, - because each time i start the server, i see a lock file created "OracleASRouter_store.lock" - under j2ee\home\persistance. And below is the content of the same -
"O10.1.4.245:/C:/Program Files/Oracle/oc4j_extended_101330/j2ee/home/persistence/"
As per few suggestions on this site, I deleted this file & restated app server, deleted whole content of persistance folder, restarted app server. But each time i see this file created and also see the ip address in log.xml under j2ee\home\log\oc4j
Error message in this log.xml file is

Line # 127 is creating a new application object using ApplicationFactory.
ApplicationFactory aFactory =
(ApplicationFactory) FactoryFinder.getFactory(
FactoryFinder.APPLICATION_FACTORY);
application = aFactory.getApplication();
The only way that can throw a null pointer is when aFactory is NULL. I really doubt this case because, the same thing is doen in init() of FacesServlet. If it had failed there, the exception should have occured during server startup.
This leaves me more and more confused....I am desperate for some help now :((

Missing files, user folder, application folder and system folder

I am using a MacBook Pro 2011 model with OS X 10.9.4.
Since I bought the machine several years ago, I have had only a few small problems with it. Yesterday I wanted to reduce the size of a video, so I downloaded a video compressor/converter software, and left the computer on and the program compressing my video whilst I went off to work. When I returned home, the compressing program had a pop-up saying ''Could not complete compression, system full'' or something along those lines.... After trying to play the movie without success, I decided that I would restart my computer, as it had been on all day.
When the computer restarted, it came up with the grey loading bar, which usually comes up when I have done a software update. It disappeared quite soon and several minutes later, my user profile appeared. I logged in as normal, and then tried to open my browser. An error message popped up stating"Can't open user profile directory, because you lack sufficient privileges. You might want to contact the administrator of this machine". I then tried to open other programs and they all came up with similar messages and did not open. Skype stated "Can't create a lock file at Users/Lauren/Library...etc".
I then went to Finder to look at my applications and they were ALL GONE! Then I went to a folder I have with all my files called "My files", and although the primary folders were visible, "SCHOOL,WORK, HOLIDAYS PICS, etc", these folders were empty. I then checked my User folder, and my systems folder and these were empty too. However, the Desktop and Documents folders still contain the documents that were previously there, and my background images remained the same.
I tried to open Word, and although it is also missing from the applications folder, and it opened, also allowing me to open a document which I know is located within the 'empty' folders. I have a feeling that my documents and files are still on my computer, but I don't know how to access them!
Please if someone could shed light on the situation! All my work files and personal files are on this computer and I would be devastated to loose them!
Let me know if you need any more ino or screen shots!
Kind regards,
Lauren

OS X- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup
You need to start by doing the following:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

File and folder permissions for Adobe Photoshop CS5

Good day,
I am an IT specialist and I work for a Canadian governement agency and we are having an issue with Photoshop CS5. After successfully installing Photoshop CS5 from the Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium set(using a local machine administrator account), Photoshop crashes immidiatly after launching it(even with the local administrator account). The exact error message is as follows:
The instruction at "0x230dad8dc" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
I know this is an environement issue and not an application or hardware issue since I was able to successfully install and run Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a plain vanilla install of Windows SP3 XP on the same model of workstation(HP DC7800). This later also confirms it is not a RAM or video adapter issue either. My experience tells me it would be more related to file/folder permissions on the workstation(although I'm open to other suggestions). Because we are a governement agency, our workstations have machine and user policies and desktop configurations that get applied to the workstations automatically upon joining our domain via GPOs and SMS. Certain system files and folder permissions may be locked down for security reasons therefor I was wondering is someone has a list of files and folders that Adobe CS5 needs access to upon startup in order to properly function?
If anyone would like more details or information please let me know and I'll try to be more specific.
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read and help out!

I appreciate that you're trying to surmise what's different, and it's good that you have had success with similar/identical hardware. At least you know it can work.
However, I wouldn't bet just yet that it's a permissions issue. I'd think you should get a specific error if a locked-down file needed to be accessed, not a null pointer crash. The Photoshop installer should be setting up the proper permissions on its own files for it to run.
Is it exactly the same video card as the other computer, on which Photoshop works?
Are you sure the video drivers are up to date with the same version as on the other computer?
At exactly what point during startup does the failure occur (i.e., is the splash screen showing, and what does the status line in the splash screen say it's doing)?

I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them

I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them or get them out of my trash and they keep multiplying. And to make matters worse, I tried renaming them as pdf files thinking that might do the trick.

oh boy ! I'd ask you if you knew what kind of files they were or where they came from, but I don't think you could help me a bunch. Try going to the Utilities folder and running Disk Utilities. If you want to empty the Trash and it won't empty, go to the finder and choose "secure Empty trash". Worse case scenario-you may have to reinstall Snow Leopard, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you have a DVD of Snow Leopard, boot up from that, and reinstall the OS. This will not touch the stuff you have on your Hard Drive, then you can update from 10.6 to 10.6.8, otherwise Onyx? Maybe those files are part of the OS which needs them to keep running. if you hold down the Shift key on reboot, you can reboot in Safe mode and maybe you can take the files out of the trash that way
good luck

Excel 2013 - Locked file when trying to save

After a user opens an excel file from a personal network share (EMC/ISILON storage) and make changes to the file, the user get a FILE LOCKED BY <USER> (Same user that is currently editing the file).
We have also had issues where a user goes to open a file and it says it is currently in use by <USER> same user trying to open the file.
Couple of notes of interest:
These files are on personal network shares, only the 1 user has access to the files
We have had the user completely reboot their machine when they try to open a file and get the file is locked message - Same message
Does not happen with any other Office 2013 application
Are there any special "quick View" features in Excel 2013 or Windows 7 that may be locking the file? I have seen reference to this in older versions of Windows, but nothing for Windows 7.
Thanks for the help.

Locked files - Dreamweaver CS5.5

I had to erase my computer's hard drive, reinstall, and bring back my files from the backup drive. After doing so, Dreamweaver tells me all of my site files "is a locked file and can be viewed but not changed. What would you like to do with this file?"
Why are my files locked, and how can I get them unlocked?
Thank you in advance, for your help!
Dreamweaver CS5.5 Version 11.5 Build 5315
Mac OS 10.9.5

We are restoring from a Time Machine backup to a Thunderbolt drive.
I checked and changed the preferences in finder, for the Dreamweaver site files, but had no luck.
I scoured the internet in search of a solution, while the Apple adviser I've been working with, was off for the weekend. I tried deleting the /user/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5.5/en_US/Configuration/MacFileCache-C92F77BA.dat file. No difference. I even deleted the entire Configuration folder. It didn't make a bit of difference.
When Senior Apple Adviser, Korrie Smith, got back after her weekend off, she suggested going (in finder) to my user/documents folder and changing the preferences for the folder and everything in it, by selecting "Apply to enclosed items". And it worked! Dreamweaver is happy now! This also resolved the issues I was having with other applications.

Deleting locked file on desktop

Greetings-
This is more a software question. I transferred QuickBook files from a PC to my Mac. I can run QB for Mac easily, but the transfer left a locked .qbw file on my desktop. I think this is a QB backup for Windows file. I am trying to delete it but can't because it is locked. I tried to delete from within QB, but can't. It is no big deal, but I would love to get it off my Desktop. Any ideas? I tried to contact Intuit, but they require an Intuit ID which I don't have. Thanks.

Ok Ed Colman lets try this:
deleting locked files
1. Open Terminal. It's located in your /Applications/Utilities.
Paste the following command:
*chflags -R nouchg*
Note: Type one space (not pictured) after nouchg in the line above, so that it ends in "nouchg ". Do not press Return yet.
2. Drag the files from the desktop to the Terminal window.
Note: This automatically enters the pathname for file/folder.
3. Press Return. No special text message will be shown indicating that the command was successful.
This should unlock hidden flags in directory and subdirectories /file that you can not get to.
4. Exit to terminate terminal session then quit as normal.
5.Delete rouge file as normal, empty trash or secure empty trash.
