My files are locked and I can't edit them!

What is happening?  I have DW CS4.  I am trying to edit a site have used for years - my own site!  Every file I try to open, I'm told it is locked and is View Only!  This has never happened before.  What is going on?  Help!

If I try to download a file from the server, I get this message:
/martypics.html - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot get martypics.html.  Access denied.  The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.

  • Hello. My mac can't connect to my time capsule. There is no response and I can't put it back to the originals definitions because all my files are there and I can´t loose them. (sorry about my bad english, but I really need help!)

    Your files are unaffected by a reset.. no reset via the reset button on the TC harms, deletes or does anything to your files.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Here is how to do a fully manual setup for TC which is sometimes necessary with Mavericks in particular.
    Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule

  • I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

    I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

    They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
    Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.
    Look in your Home folder (Users/UserName) and then the Desktop subfolder under it. Do you see all these files/folders/drives?

  • PSE 6, winxp, version sets seem to be locked and I can't 'CLOSE" them.

    PSE 6, winxp, version sets seem to be locked and I can't "CLOSE" them. I can't get the files to unlock though I repeatedly open them up in the editor as requested and CLOSE them. they're still locked. any sugesstions on what I'm doing wrong?

    How do you mean locked? What can't you do? Are you trying to collapse the version set, or do you want to do something else?

  • My Canvas and Timeline are gone and I can't get them back

    Hey everyone.
    I've been using a new HD camera and i have had to change a billion settings on FCP. Now that I am no longer using HD it was time to go back to the way they were, but I must have done something wrong. My canvas and timeline are gone and I can't get them back. I tried going to window and just pulling them up but I can't click on the canvas and timeline buttons...

  • I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
    To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad  if a movie listing does not show  then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
    Or launch the Video App and look for them there
    if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
    A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
    Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
    Hope this helps

  • I have two movie credits on my iTunes account. What are credits, and how can I use them?

    I have two movie credits on my iTunes account. What are credits, and how can I use them?

    You have a Puerto Rico address on your account ? From a quick search I've found one site from somebody in Puerto Rico that includes a screenshot for an app receipt showing tax of 7 cents added to a 99 cent purchase. Are you able to view the purchase history on the account that you've been using, and see what prices show on them (e.g. if the store's listed price or price plus tax) : Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, then 'see all' link next to the Purchase History section.

  • Can't delete trash because items are locked, but I can't find them

    When I used the mac backup software, it backed up EVERYTHING including applications and settings, etc. After I lost my harddrive, I replaced it from my external harddrive, but it put things on my computer that were already there on my new hard drive, like the application support and the caches. So, I dragged everything I didn't need into the trash, and attempted to delete them from my external hard drive (in my mac trash). However, nothing will delete, because it keeps stopping and saying things like "The operation cannot be complepted because the item 'wmphelp.htm' is locked. I will press continue, but there is an infinite number of things that are locked, and I always just end up pressing 'stop'. You might say just to unlock them, but I cant find them in the trash, there are too many folders, and too many locked items. I have about 5,700 items in my trash in all. And I can't drag it out of the trash either...it only copies it...
    Is there a way to override what is locked? Change preferences of all? Force the trash to delete? It is making it so I can't even delete simple files and because of this I have no more room on my hard drive.
    What can I do???
    P.S. I just now noticed that it is on a loop. 79 items that are locked, and then it starts over with the list. Ahhhhh!

    Restart the Mac in safe mode holding the shift key on startup.
    If Secure Empty Trash doesn't work from the File or Finder menu (I'm not at a Mac now, so I don't remember where that is found), try my software Force Empty Trash from this page*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/software.html
    Given the number of files, wait a couple hours before double clicking the Trash to discover whether or not it has emptied.

  • Time machine restored files are locked and can't unlock them

    After upgrading to an SSD, i was having problems with restoring files from Timemachine. i fiexed that by naming my ssd drive the same as the drive that was backedup using time machine. now, i can't seem to edite any of the files restored in Documents from the backup. not can i edit or add content inside the folders withing documents. i dont know whats going on. they appear lock and there is no way to unlock them. it says i will need to duplicate the items!
    i'll run a permissions verify once. in the mainwhile, if u guys know about this please let me know. thanks.
    Neerav

    Stay calm!
    Ok- saying 'locked' besides their name when you open it is Lion-speak for the fact that it hasn't been edited in a while. It should, once you try and edit it, pop up a dialogue offering you the chance to duplicate or unlock the file. In the instance that the second option isn't available, try some or all of the following:
    -As the poster above said, try doing a get-info (cmd i) on a file/folder and seeing if it's locked. Uncheck it if it is. If you find they are ALL locked, you can change it on multiple items at once by selecting them and pressing cmd alt i
    -If that didn't help, try looking at the permission at the bottom of the get-info pane. Does it say you have read-write access? If it doesn't, unlock these options with the little padlock at the bottom and change it so that you do.
    -You can also try going to a high-level folder (namely, one with a  lot of stuff in) and doing what I just described, then under the read-write permission hit the little cog-symbol and choose 'apply to enclosed items'. See if that helps.
    -My final suggestion would be to find a free application called ACL fix. This helps repair dodgy or messed--up permissions using a simple drag and drop interface. Download that, and drag the affected folders onto it as per the instructions. Hopefully it should fix everything up.
    Try all that, then let me know what's what

  • Photoshop CS3 - files are locked to 1 user after editing

    Hi there,
    Our setup is the following:
    6 Mac OS X 10.5.8 clients with Adobe CS3. The images reside on a shred folder hosted on Mac OS X 10.5 Server. SC3 users are in an ACL group that has read/write permissions to all the shared files.
    The issue we have is the following: One user opens an image and edits it in Photoshop, then saves changes and closes  it. All other users who subsequently try to edit the file get the message "The file is locked. Use "get info" command in finder to unlock it".  When you use the "get info" command as suggested -  the "locked" tick box is greyed out and it says "you have read and write access to this file" - but you do not. The user who originally edited the file does not experience this issue, but everybody else does.
    I first though it was an Mac permissions issue. So I tested by putting text documents in the abovementioned shared folder and then editing them as different users - no problems there, so it seems this issue is related to Photoshop.
    Any advice on this problem would be appreciated. Also has anyone experienced the similar issue with CS5? As we are thinking about upgrading.
    Many thanks in advance

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • My files are there but itunes can't 'see' them.

    I recently relocated my itunes library using itunes own settings for where to put the ibrary, then running Conslidate.

    Both file paths are valid - both real files exist in the listed folder.
    I SUPPOSE I can go through my entire 12,000+ track library searching for randomly lost media links within iTunes, then use the 10+ clicks it takes PER TRACK to tell iTunes where the file is. Even though the path in the XML look accurate.
    Any ideas? And please don't tell me to dump my iTunes library itl and xml files and start from scratch. I have dozens of playlists, layers smart playlists, etc. I can't even imagine getting all that setup again.

    OK, here's what REALLY doesn't make sense.
    After manually fixing a lost file, NOTHING in the XML changes. Not one single character changes in the XML file. I diff'd the whole file before and after - no difference. So, basically, it goes out and 'finds' it and updates something that we can't see to repair the connection, meanwhile we are left to think that this XML file has the library data in it.
    Mind you, the media file(s) are present and accounted for in the file system - correct name and path and everything - before and after I go Locate the file when iTunes complains about it being missing..
    iTunes is so overbloated, we can't even fix stuff when we see precisely how it is broken.

  • In windows 2nd monitor says no input - what display drivers are used and how can I update them?

    HI. I am using windows side of my macbook pro. Yesterday, for some reason, the computer quit recognizing my 2nd monitor.
