Message file open

I am using FCP 5.1.4, and Quicktime 7.5.5. When I try rendering in FCP I get the message "File Error: The specific file is open and in use by this or another application". Does any one know what could be causing this or what I can do to fix this? I don't believe there are any files open.
Thanks

Do you have a virus program installed?
If so, turn it off and uninstall it.
If that doesn't work:
If you are using Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Final Cut Pro, this error message may pop up from time to time. Mac OS X has a feature called Spotlight that runs in the background, indexing the files on your system to improve file searches at a later time. This error message can occur if Spotlight is indexing a folder that contains files Final Cut Pro is rendering.
When Final Cut Pro renders files, it caches (the process of temporarily storing data, often in a computer’s CPU, in a location other than the hard drive so you can access it much faster) data, which can cause the error message if Spotlight is indexing in the same location.
Solution:
According to Apple, simply clicking OK solves the problem, but you can configure Spotlight so the error message doesn’t recur. In the Apple menu, select System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Spotlight and click the Privacy tab. Next, use the finder to open your Final Cut Pro Documents folder and drag the Render Files folder into Spotlight’s Prevent Spotlight From Searching These Locations area.

File Open Failed?

Sometimes when I try to transfer a book I have downloaded to ADE to my ereader I get the error message: File Open Failed.Other times they are successfully transfered. These are all downloaded from my library - so all consistently the same. Help.
Thanks in advance if you can be of assistance.

You can't do anything at all about restrictions on digital rights. I said
that earlier. But I want to take a moment to discuss the concerns you've
included in this post.
To start with, each ebook either has digital rights assigned or not. So,
if one cannot be copied, that does not mean that any others can't. You may
- make that will - run into other ebooks that can't be copied, and it will
be a pain in the butt when you do. But, don't assume that ALL ebooks are
going to be a problem.
I think you missed another point that I made. This is not the fault of ADE
- the software is just doing the job it's been programmed to do with each
ebook you download. You don't need to do anything to ADE.
Let's tackle the comment you made about downloading ebooks from a library.
Technically, the library allowed you to download the ebook - to your
computer. That's really all they have to do. You can call the library and
tell them that the library ebook you downloaded can't be copied to your
ereader and see if they can do something about that. I am doubtful,
though, because publishers - not the library - don't want people to
redistribute their ebooks, and that's one reason they block copying.
It's possible also to download an ebook directly to your ereader IF the
library or bookseller is set up to do that. Most libraries are not.
You mention that there are other times that you get the 'File Open Failed'
message. If you give me more information about the circumstances, I'll try
to work with you to figure out what to do

Excel 2007: file opened by another user

Hi guys. Help me to hunt down a question.
Then I am trying to open or save a spreadsheet in excel 2007 it always shows me a downloading status bar without any progress. After few minutes the file opens or not. Game of chance. When it didn`t open I get this error message "file
opened by another user".
I should notice that I have windows 7, office 2007. I tried to transfer some files to another pc and at first it`s working good, without any troubles, but then still the same problem. Pops up a dialog window with the message. It happens
on network files only. Of course I have tried to run excel in a save mode and in compatibility mode. But nothing change.
Give me please any clue what can it be and how can I fix it?

Try this. Excel Options, click Advanced at the left side of the dialog window. Then make sure that DDE is selected. By this you make enable the Ignore Other Applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange feature.
And also try the following: open Tools – Folder options. In the list of the file types choose XLS. Then click the Advanced. Select Open. The Application Used to Perform Action box contains the actual command line used to start Excel.
You should add in this field a space followed by "%1". Be sure to include the quotes. And deselect Use DDE. That’s all steps you should do.
Also you can solve this issue with help of third-party program. This is good one, try it - Recovery Toolbox for Excel

In principle, this is all that i can reccomend.

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

"uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version" error message when opening a *.doc file with Word already running

Several customers running different versions of Office 2011 (14.4.1-14.4.5) on OSX varying from 10.7.5 to 10.9.5, running on various kinds of hardware (iMac/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air) of various ages are having issues opening *.doc files if the Word is already open. The error message that gets displayed is, "XXXX.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version"
When the customer tries to open the same file via File-Open, she gets "The file is locked for editing. you can open the file as read-only".
When trying to do so, she gets "Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters".
If Word gets Force-quit, the same document opens without any problems.
1. Repairing Disk permissions was ran several times. and the volume was found to be OK.
2. I have noticed that in this scenario either deleting the normal.dotm or com.microsoft.word.plist (~/Library/Preferences) sometimes resolves the issue, sometimes it doesn’t. There is no pattern to follow. All versions of Office are affected, the fully updated and the non-updated ones.
3. I have tried completely removing the suite using Office 2011 Uninstall.app and/or Remove Office 2011 Uninstaller.pkg, then going through customer's library and manually removing all the Office references.
4. None of these systems had Office 2008 in the past.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Reboot both the Mac and the server. Word opens .DOC files and Excel opens .XLS files. As you have found out by copying the files to the computer. It is the connection between the 2 computer that is causing the error.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

ls -l /var/run/lighttpd/
And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).

Error message when opening CS6 files in earlier versions

PSCS6 with 12.0.4 update. Mac OSX 10.8.2 16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 543 GB Available
I've recently become aware that other people are getting an error message when opening many of my my psd files if they are on earlier versions of PS and also on PSE, (including the latest version). The message is:
This document contains unknown data which will be discarded to keep layers editable. To preserve the original appearance instead, choose flatten to load composite data as a flattened image.
Three options follow: Flatten Cancel Keep Layers
When 'keep layers' is selected the file opens as normal. However, people with much earlier version (CS version 8) don't get the option to keep layers, and the layers are flattened when the document is opened.
I still have CS5 on my mac, and I find that if I take my finished file into CS5 and save it there, the customer does not get the message above, and the file behaves as it should. Those on very early version of PS can also open the files without any issues.
I've been using CS6 since it was released and have had to delve through all my files and save them in CS5. Not every file is affected and I've been unable to find a common thread.
Hoping someone can throw some light on this.

This similar to the message one should get in an older version of photoshop such as photoshop 7.
If one presses ok instead of read composite that might preserve the layers with the original look.
But sometimes if a layer blending mode or some other feature is used an earlier versions of photoshop doesn't have, reading the composite is the only way to preserve the look of the image.
You said your using shape layers?
If they are shape layers you didn't use a stroke from the tool options bar?
Can you post an example of the image with the layers panel visible that you get that message with?
I guess your using photoshop cs6 with the 13.01 update?
