Locking items on a slide

Hello,
Question. What is the purpose of being able to lock items on
a slide? Why would this be helpful?
thanks,
Helen

Hi Helen
Imagine you are composing something where if one image or
caption were inadvertently moved a smidge, it would look odd. In
this case, it's a wonderful thing to be able to lock objects on a
slide. This prevents accidentally clicking and moving them when you
didn't intend to.
Just a thought... Rick

Lock items in a bin

How do I lock items in a bin so that sequences can't be launched, clips cannot be bent, folded or mutilated? Ideally, can I lock a bin up so it can't even be opened? (assistant editor is going to capture a bunch of tapes for me and I want to eliminate risk of anything being disturbed) thanks.

Sorry... sarcasm caused by frustration at my current edit job.
I've never come accross, or heard of any locking feature in the Browser of FCP. I think it would be unneccessary... well, seeing as you brought it up, i can kind of understand why it might be handy for a short-term solution to keeping Bins safe... but...
I think the safest way is as Jim said, just start a new project for the assistant and get all the new tapes captured to it and then copy them over into your master project.
all the best

How can I get rid of "locked items" in Trash?

I am deleting old Time Machine files from my external drive, using my MacBook Pro (2007) to do it. I've been doing this for several weeks, but now when I'm in Trash and click "Empty Securely" I get this message: "There are some locked items in Trash. Do you want to remove all the items, including the locked ones, or just the unlocked items?" Regardless of whether I click on "Remove unlocked items" or "Remove all items", the process stops almost immediately and the Trash remains full. What might be the "locked items" and how can I get rid of them?

You might try restarting and then try to empty the Trash.
If that doesn't work, see -> Solving Trash Problems.

Can I lock items at favorites bar?

It happened to me a few times that I accidentally dragged bookmarks from the Favorites Bar while opening Safari. I opened it and wanted to drag the browser window to a location and accidentally dragged such a bookmark from the Favorites Bar, resulting in that 'poof' cloud and I had to see which bookmark I dragged out of it to add it again.
Isn't there some way to lock bookmarks from the Favorites Bar? Just like I can lock items from the Dock? Some Terminal command?

to lock the dock run the following commands from the terminal
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true
killall Dock
Make sure you press enter after "killall Dock"
To unlock it change "true" to "false" in the above. Also, I believe Onyx http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html
provides a UI way to do it if you are uncomfortable with using the terminal.

Is There A Way To LOCK Items To The Dock (to prevent accidental drag off)

Is there a way to lock items to the dock to prevent accidentally dragging them off? Every now and then, I'll accidentally drag something I just meant to click (really, I click too hard while moving my mouse) and I'll see a POOF as the icon disappears... which means I have to dig for it in the finder and replace it. D'oh!

run the following terminal command
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true; killall Dock
to unlock it change true to false in the command.

Locked items appearing in MD04

Hi everyone,
When I run md04, locked items are appearing in the Requirements List. Someone can explain why? Is that normal?
What I can do to hide this items from MD04?
Thanks!

yes this is design that locked POs are still taken into account by MRP and MD04.
Locks are short term solutions to clarify things and restrict further processing for a little while, but not meant to be used like deletion indicator for long term.

Locked items in transaction LQ02

Hi all,
I'm trying to execute a posting change for items in quality but when I run the transaction LQ02, the status of the materials in the list is 'Locked Item'. And with this status, I can't continue with my transaction because I cannot select the line items. I tried using the Block/Unblock quants transaction LS07 but nothing changes.
Any advice on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Once I posted this I saw "More like this" on this topic. the answer was right there:
As you select "Empty secured trash" hold down the Option key. I kept holding it down (don't know if that was necessary) until it deleted several files (got past where it usually kicked me out). Now it's still deleting files!

HT1526 what are locked items?

why are they locked? who locked them? should I lock all my files? how to unlock all my files? how do I find each locked item to unlocked them? yes, I'm very angry with some features I find on my mac, every day.

Generally items that are locked by default should be locked so they are not unintentinally changed To open a locked item, "Get Info" (cmd-i) and click the padlock to open, you'll be asked to enter your admin password and it will unlock.
What are you trying to unlock and why would you want all files unlocked?

Numbers v1.4 import warning: locked items were unlocked

Previously, I could make an order form for salespersons of a client to use to take orders on the Ipad. Because there was a workaround in place of the standard "lock cells" in normal spreadsheets: I could cover the cells with a transparent rectangle and lock that. This prevented the salespersons from accidentally modifying cells with formulas in them, such as subtotals and totals.
I seem to no longer be able to do this, since Numbers v1.4 will unlock all locked items. There is no setting to prevent it from doing so, and so currently nobody can make this type of forms for the Ipad and use it for information gather, sales, registration etc using Numbers.
Be happy to hear about other workarounds or suggestions for other apps that will not unlock locked items.

Requested cash flow contains locked items

Hi All,
when we are doing periodic postings to contracts , we are getting the error"Requested cash flow contains locked items
Error no.RECD250"
The periodic posting function is locked for items that have due dates between 01.04.2011 and 31.12.9999.
Can you please suggest?
regards
Jaya

Hi Jaya,
I guess you are using Earmarked FUnds and Approvals.
Please refer to the long text of the message RECD 250:
Possible reasons for this:
There is an earmarked funds document that is not approved.
The period being accessed does not yet contain an earmarked funds document.
Procedure
Approve the earmarked funds document.
Create an earmarked funds document for the time period in question.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Franz

Keychain has locked items I can't acces??

OK, two items have shown up in my keychain - they are locked.
I can't access them, I can't delete them.
I don't know what they are or how they got there.
The first locked item is called .Mac (I know what that is, I'm a subscriber. But I didn't add this to my keychain, and I sure don't want it locked so I can't access it)
The second locked item I can't access or delete is called "Directory Services"
I'm the administrator of this computer so I'm at a loss as to:
1. How these two "locked" keychains got in my keychains
2. How I can delete these "locked" keychains
3. For idle curiosity's sake, what is "Directory Services"????
Help would be most appreciated - if there's a better area of the boards I should be posting in, suggestions will be welcomed.

hi,
just an idea:
try deleting the following file:
\library\preferences\com.apple.keychainaccess.plist
i must admit, its really ONLY an idea.
so it would be better to move the file somewhere else insteed of deleting it.
best regards
