Locking Files it fails to open

Is this a bug or what that when I attempt to open a file in AI and it fails to open AI locks it so I cant do anything else to it. it also locks XML files if a variable import fails so editing the file to fix the error is difficult.
I did find a bit of a work around and installed a program called Unlocker and then I can just right click on the file and unlock it before saving each time but even that is annoying.

Which version of Illustrator are you using? Which operating system? What does it mean when you say "it fails to open"? Do you get a specific error message? If yes, what does it tell you?

Does photoshop cs6 not save over files that are also open in cs5?

I started a project in CS5, saved it, left it open, then opened the same file in CS6. Then I started steadily working on the file in CS6 for about 20 minutes. I saved frequently while working in CS6. Then Photoshop crashed, I believe because I had several smart objects open at once. However, when I checked the file I had been saving, it was still in an identical state to when I stopped working on it in CS5. Not only that, but the "recovered file" was about 10 minutes behind in CS6.
This is really frustrating.

I don't know what went wrong for you but you are correct that it's normally possible for CS6 to save over a file that's open in CS5, and vice versa, and the same thing is possible with many other apps.
Furthermore, some apps watch for changes being made to a file which they have open and will automatically update the version of the file which they hold in memory with the modified version that another app has written to disc.
Of course, there are apps, databases for example, which do lock files which they have open.
None of that helps you, but just letting you know that you weren't wrong to expect your work to be saved.

PPro 6 fails to open Audition 6

When trying to edit a sequence in audition, PPro creates the files including the xml file, but fails to open Audition. The xml file can be opened in Audition, but Audition wont deliver the edited audio back to PPro. Windows 8, CS6 Master collection

I have this problem too on Windows 7. It seems intermittent, but a faint outline of the application appears, but then nothing else. Only way to continue is to kill the itunes.exe process from task manager.

LR4 ignores .lock file

Hi,
I am using Lightroom on my desktop MacPro at home and on my MacBook while on the go (or on the coach). In order to not lose edits every time I switch from computer, I've setup my lightroom catalog files on DropBox. This works flawlessly and I'm happy with that except for one little problem:
When I stop working with LR4 I need to quit the application in order to get the new version of the catalog uploaded to dropbox. Thats fine, however sometimes I forget this and just close my macbook without quitting LR. Now when I start working the next time on the other computer there is the risk that I start the same catalog that is already open. LR has however created the .lock file which should prevent me from doing that. However, to my unpleasant surprise, it seems that it ignores this .lock file. It just opens the .lrcat file and I can work with it and save it. When I save the open file from the other computer later, dropbox creates a "conflicting copy".
All that is no disaster but I would like to be able to rely on the protection mechanism provided by the .lock file, as it is supposedly intended to work. So my question is:
how is it possible that LR4 ignores the .lock file and how can I make LR4 refuse to open a .lrcat file when a .lock file is present? or at least give a warning ?
Thanks for any ideas, Jules

I would guess that LR’s .lock file is there to prevent two things: more than one person opening the catalog at the same time or to warn of catalog corruption in case of a sudden power loss or the computer being put to sleep with the catalog on the local drive, and upon starting LR, it tries to lock the .lock file and if that succeeds then no one else has the catalog file open, and then it checks some other place in the database to see if all write operations were completed successfully, and if so then it opens the catalog and silently deletes the .lock file. Perhaps in the past there was a warning whenever the .lock file existed but that was generating unnecessary support calls so they made the checking more sophisticated and don’t warn unless there is a real problem. Of course cloud-syncing the catalog was not anticipated in the current design of the .lock file handing and so it is a problem for you.
If you were on Windows I’d suggest that you redirect your LR startup shortcut to point to a .cmd or .bat file that has an IF NOT EXISTS whatevercatalog.lock START LR-shortcut so LR doesn’t get started if the .lock file exists, and I’d guess there are similar scripting mechanisms available on the Mac although I don’t know exactly what they are.

Failed to Open data files files

Dear Members,
Using Oracle 10gR2 on windows
When I start the Oracle server in clients place it fails to open the data files..
SQL> conn / as sysdba
<connected>
sql> select status from v$instance;
<mounted>
sql> alter database open;
error - ora-01157 (cannot identify lock/ data file 8 see DBWR trace file)
ora-01110 - data file 8 d:\Oracle10gr2\oradata\data01.dbf
Now this data01.dbf was created to test something..its of no use. So someone might have deleted the file..and
it has the reference in control file. There was no backup taken.
How to recover from this failure..??? Basically have to erase the reference from control file..

Verma,
How many datafiles you have on that tablespace. If you have more then 1 then you can drop this datafile from the database. "alter tablespace <tablespace_name> drop datafile '<datafile path>';

Failed tp open .prp file while running HAL ...it says Sharing voilation ..

Failed tp open .prp file while running HAL ...it says Sharing voilation ..
I am running a HAL job.
While opening .prp file it says error Sharing voilation cannot open file.
Please help to resolve issue.

Are you sure there are not multiple instances of the prp open, say 2 remote connections both with the file open.
If there is a lock on the file and you are able to reboot the machine I would give that a go.
Cheers

How do I enable opening firefox from two different computers sharing the same home directory without having to delete a lock file (linux).

I just don't want to have to delete a lock file - which has a purpose - in order to use firefox simultaneously from two locations on the network - where the home directory, i.e. .mozilla directory - is located

You need to use two separate profiles if you want to have two Firefox instances open at the same time.

Does anyone has an idea ?

Hi Paul,
yes the ASM is down.
That was confusing me. If I shutdown the other node the +ASM can start and clustering com´s up normal.
It looks like only one node can use voting or ocr....
The behavior looks like the interlink is down buts is not ;:-(
One node ( first com´s up) start normally and take all cluster resources ...scan .. the vips..
And second node show this error mess..
Thanks

Error - iTunes Library .iti file is locked on a disk or you do not have permission for this file. I can open itunes in the compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3 ???

In Windows 8 I received the error iTunes Library .iti file is locked on a disk or you do not have permission for this file. I can open itunes in the compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3.
I've tried changing permissions and sharing - nothing seems to work. mat be a Windows 8 issue???

You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter. That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.

Creation of Recovery Disks - 'Failed to open the following file" Error

Greetings All,
I am in the process of trying to create a Recovery Disk Set for a Client's *Satellite L300 - PSLB8A-07U004*.
While the application opens and begins the creation of the disk set, it has, three times now, failed at with the error message of *"Failed to open the following file. D:\!V5_01_07.VRP (Error Code: 020123-F1-00000000)".*
I did attempt this process the first time while the all the client's data was still loaded.
I have now done a 'Restore to 'Out of the box experience' because I thought one of those files might be the cause but, alas, the error was repeated.
Obviously this is irritating (to say the least).
I have NOT made any change to the layout or sizing of partitions.'
Any thoughts?
rampant_rhino

Thank you both for your responses.
You were on the right track.
I was attempting to use a 'dodgy' brand (SKY-Silver) of DVD-R for the creation of the disk set.
On changing over to TDK disks, the problem did NOT repeat.
Strangely enough, the dodgy ones worked great for creating copies of the set once it was completed.
Again, thanks to you both.
