N73 Web already in use error

When attempting to open the web browser, I get a message saying web already in use when no other browser or data session is up.
Anyone know why this would be?

thanks for any replies
I'm not sure exactly what you will lose, but Nokia does have the Backup application within PC Suite which can make a backup of your phone before you wipe it which you can then restore back to your phone after you wiped it. However there is a possibility that it could restore the very lock file you just wiped .. which would then become a recursive problem ...

N73 Web already in use

hello. my friend of mine has just bought a N73 and from a while, when he wants to use the Web application (Web Mini Map Browser) it says "Web already in use!". but the other web application works. can you tell what problem he has? can he download from the internet the Web application and reinstall it?
PS: Nokia 6288 supports the Web Mini Map Browser?
Thank you!

E61 - Web already in use

Hi,
I'm using a SIM-free Nokia E61 with the first firmware (v. 1.0610.04.04 / 19-04-06 / RM-89) and since yesterday I haven't been able to use Web anymore. Whenever i try to launch Web, i get a "Web: already in use" error message and Web doesn't launch. Rebooting and removing the memory card didn't help. It did work for sure the day before since i used it to demo the phone to one of my colleague (Web is great for quick demos of what the E61 is capable of).
I've had this phone for 2 months now and never any problems with Web before yesterday. Services works fine and so does Opera Mobile and every other application on the phone.
Apparently, other people have had this problem before and the only solution they've found was to do a hard reset. Problem is: reformating my phone is simply not an option. I've got dozens of programs, themes and files on my phone and spent hours (maybe even dozens of hours) configuring and customizing everything so that everything looks and behave in exactly the way i want to. There simply is no way i'm going to reinstall, reconfigure and recustomize everything just to get my phone to work as it should work.
So is there anything i could do to get Web back working again?
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

Thank you guys for trying to help.
I'm actualy already using Opera Mobile as my main web browser since the buil-in web browser is far too limited for my liking. But i'd still would like to be able to use Web for the cases when a page doesn't display properly in Opera. Web is also great to demo the E61 to other people, the mini-map and visual history are sure very impressive features to see.
To nj7: does restoring from the memory card really restores *everything*. That is not only the contacts and calendar data but also all the applications, all their settings and, well, everything else? I've read on several occasions that restoring from the memory card didn't restore some applications properly.
As for upgrading to the new firmware, i am unfortunately not willing to do it for several reasons:
- The nokia software updater tools tells me that there is no update available for my phone
- My local Nokia service center would take at least a week to update my phone (that's if they can do it, which is not even sure). As for most people, i can't live without my phone for a week.
- I haven't seen anything in the list of changes for the new firmware that solves any problem that i've had so i don't quite see the point of updating
- There is a major bug in the new firmware which prevents numeric shortcuts from working in many applications unless you press and hold the blue key. Opera Mobile is affected by this bug. Since i'm navigating in opera exclusively using the numeric shortcuts, upgrading to the new firmware would render Opera Mobile unusable for me. This is not an option. I browse the web extensively on my E61 and the built-in web browser simply isn't good enough for me (plus it doesn't even work anymore and i can't be sure that upgrading to the new firmware would solve the problem for good).
So if anybody has the magic trick to get Web to work again, i'd be most grateful to hear it (and i'll pay you a pint the next time you come round Ireland).

Web: Already in use!

Help!
Everytime I run the web (N80) I have the message "Web: Already in use!" of course I am not using the web browser, i tried almost everything, switch off the phone, reset to manufaturers setting, but still I get that error.
Thanks
Kristheo

I have same problem with this serious bug, for some reason when you want to open browser in phone, you see web: already in use ! this bug is on n80, e61 and n73 phones. i think that browser is creating a "i'm busy" flag file, then clearing it when the thing it wanted to do was complete. Aborting the browser stops the file clearing or something like that. does somebody have some solution for that problem ?
thanx !
bdw. i don't want like many others hard reset my phone, or wait for new firmware download (i have latest firmware) or use opera. i want to use web browser from nokia !
maybe c:/favourites/browserbookmarks/favourites.db file is the probelm, but i don't have any tool for close that file.
please nokia release some patch or why can we reinstall and again install browser from phone.

Sun would like your help with the "System Name Already In Use" error

A couple of users have reported getting an erroneous "System Name Already in Use" error when re-registering a system after a fresh Solaris re-install. We'd like your help in tracking down this problem.
The scenario is this:
* Install Solaris 10 and register with updatemanager,
* Wipe out the installation and re-install Solaris.
* re-register with updatemanager.
The system erroneously reports that the system name is already in use. It is supposed to detect a duplicate registration of the same system.
We have not been able to reproduce this error in our lab.
If this has happened to you, would you let us know at [email protected]?
Here are the things that we would like to ask of you:
* If you run "updatemanager -debug" if will create a log file /tmp/basicreg<timestamp>.log.
* Details on the exact hardware you have (make/model/configuration).
* Details on the steps you took to get to the bad state. REALLY detailed!
Thanks!
Based on what we know now, we believe you can work around the issue by either:
* Changing the host name and re-registering.
* Creating a different user account and registering the host to that account.
Some previously-posted workarounds are known NOT to work:
* Wait 24 hours and try again.
* Do some "ccr" incantations and try again.

Hi,
Can you drop me an email as i am a sun employee and i will be able to check if the swup frontline team have received any support cases on this issue and then we can work with you directly to resolve the issue.

10.6.8 Server w/ 10.9.2 clients "Backup disk is already in use" error

I have an Xserve running 10.6.8 serving as a Time Machine destination for the office. All of the clients are running newer OSes, mostly 10.9.2. Since the 10.9.2 update, my clients frequently receive the "Backup disk is already in use" error when they attempt to backup. Looking at Server Admin, I can see that clients reporting the error have an idled AFP session. Disconnecting the session in Server Admin will fix the issue for a day or two. I've tried using the "disconnect idle users after x interval" option for AFP with no luck. Has anyone else been experiencing this issue?

I am also having the same issue! If I kill off the disabled/sleep connection, backups work.

InD blocking Ps to save a file / Could not save * because the file is already in use error

Many users have reported a Photoshop Could not save * because the file is already in use error in many different circumstances.
I place raw jpgs in InDesign document, then open them in Photoshop via Edit original order to adjust them. On random occasions Ps gives me that annoying error. So i found a little trick to avoid saving that image under a different name and relinking it plus reloading Ps since the error repeats on other pictures to.
All you have to do is: when Ps gives error, (Cmd-Tab) switch to InD, directly select the worked jpg in image frame (one that you try to save in Ps) and simply move it left-right (or move it and Undo). Now you can save it without problem.

JPEG is a "lossy" compression format. Every time you save as jpeg you recompress and throw away a little more information. In addition, jpeg does not support transparency or layers, both very useful features for woring with images. For example, you can add an adjustment layer in Photoshop to do your adjustments non-destructively for may of the things that you can do using Image > Adjustments... which will change your pixel data permanently. Throw away an adjustment layer and you image data is untouched. Also, ID allows you to place a layered image and control layer visibility from within ID, making it possible to multi-purpose a single file by showing or hiding various layers.

"The backup disk image 'Volumes...sparsebundle' is already in use" error message

Since upgrading to Lion, I seem to be able to back up my MacBook over Wi-fi to an external hard drive attached to my Airport Extreme just fine. However, if Time Machine is in the middle of a backup and I interrupt it by closing my MacBook hence putting it to sleep, next time my MacBook attempts a backup I get the message "This backup disk image "/Volumes....Macbook.sparsebundle" is already in use. I've tried disconnecting all users from the hard drive in the Airport Utility, and then unplugging the hard drive and plugging it back in, and then it seems to backup fine, until I interrupt another backup, then the problem starts all over again.
I never had this problem before upgrading to Lion. Suggestions?

NateCook, I'm experiencing the exact same issue. I'd previously been enjoying how seamless Time Machine worked, wirelessly and automatically, to backup my MacBook Pro to a 2 TB drive attached to my Airport Extreme. I also liked that I had the flexibility to plug that drive directly to my Mac, via FW800 or USB 2.0, if I needed to. It would always work too, regardless of whether or not I interrupted a backup in progress. Now, with Lion, I'm constantly getting the same "This backup disk image "/Volumes....Macintosh.sparsebundle is already in use" error. I fix it by restarting the Airport Extreme but that's a pain in the butt to have to do all the time.
Can you verify whether or not the recent OS X 1.0.7.1 update helps fix this in any way? Or is the situation the same for you?
I'm loathe to "give in" and buy a Time Capsule to replace this setup, but I will if I have to... I want everything to work like it did before and I'm not willing to downgrade fom Lion back to Snow Leopard over this. I was hoping Apple would fix it properly, but since this isn't a "supported configuration" (even though we know full well it works just fine) I was afraid Apple wouldn't focus on this as a priority.
I'm also a bit fearful that the same issue will occur with a Time Capsule.. hmm... my hunch is I'll be finding out soon enough.

Nokia N80 Web Browser: "Web already in use"?

Just got my nokia N80, connected to my WLAN perfectly, I managed to have a couple of hours browsing the internet using the Web browser found under "My Own", I wanted to see if msn Web Messenger would work, after the login the web browser crashes.
Now if i try and get back onto the Web Browser I get a message saying "Web already in use", I've restarted the phone, I've even taken the battery out and restarted but this message still appears, I've googled and searched these forums but I can't seem to find any info on this, does anybody know what the problem is, and why the browser seems to crash on certain pages?

My new E61 was working fine but today when I tried to access the Internet I got a "Web: Already in Use" notice and could not access it. I had to hard reformat of the phone (thanks to T-Mobile tech support)and reinstall all of my email and internet settings. I have read on several user forums that this problem has occurred with some regularity. Obviously I do not want to reformat the phone all the time. Are there any other solutions? One user said they brought the phone into a local Nokia store for a software flash but did not say if it worked. Since I am in US, there is no local store to bring it to. Does have any ideas on how to solve this issue? Shouldn't Nokia be saying or doing something?

N91 Web: Already in use!

When I try to connect to the web, (using globe/planet icon) I get a Web: Already in use message. How do I get rid of this? I've turned on/off, removed the battery etc,,, nothing!
I can connect via 'Services' though.
What's happening? How do I sort this out please?

I've had this on my N95, and in my case it's due to another program using the connection to the internet - however a power cycle has always solved this for me.
It may be possible that an ill behaving application is automatically connecting to the internet without your knowledge which is causing this problem.
In order to eliminate this problem, you can try to reset your phone, details for which you can find here :
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=4007
However please be aware that doing so will wipe ALL the data from your phone such as information in your calendar, contacts and so on.
In order to save your data you can use the PC Suite application to save and restore the data from your phone - this software can be found here :
http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
If this doesn't work then it's likely you have a hardware fault and you should approach your local Nokia Service Centre to get your phone fixed.
Hope this helps.
Please let me know how you get on.

Edward

Time Machine backups to OS X Server 10.8 fail with "The backup disk image "Volumes/Backup6/macname.sparsebundle" is already in use" Error

Connecting about 100 Macs running Mavericks and about half of them are getting "The backup disk image "Volumes/Backup6/macname.sparsebundle" is already in use" error.
Screenshot -
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s87/sh/d03288e2-4ad7-4466-957b-2b9b4fcdea55/71afa 07540fd89e5f9a7eabfc96b4f1e
This was happening with our 10.8 environment and when we migrated to Mavericks, I rebuilt the OS X MacMini Server. Seems worse now with 10.9
Most discussions advise in restarting TimeCapsule or network device. However restarting OS X Server everyday is not a solution. Any advice in resolving this issue is appreciated.
Thanks! Corbin

I also had to restart the server and client after applying the "fix" I described above. Basically, no user should have multiple, simultaneous file sharing sessions on the server. But even clearing the user sessions does not resolve the problem beyond the next Time Machine backup, so I also tried disabling and enabling file sharing, but the problem also returns after doing this. Only restarting both the client and server after clearing the sessions has worked for me when I have this problem. The problem may return much later, but this work aroudn definitely works as a temporary solution.
Next time I encounter this problem I will try restarting just the server or just the client, because it is unlikely that the problem exists due to something on both systems. Server 3.x is definitely not as stable as it should be, but for my use, it is getting the job done.

Thanks for fast response.
I already tried C12, no luck. I did read C17, but that did not help either.
I agree that Apple should really spend a bit more time on ensuring this common problem is resolved more quickly
But where to do you sent this request to? Doesn't seem easy to find a person to send it to.
I dumped by corporate wIn-pc environment that I was forced to use for the past ...forever. Have been delighted with the Mac experience..... for 24 months..but these type of un-resolved matters with terse error messages reminds me of the bad old days.
I had the problem 2 weeks ago and solved it by "clicking about" after reading the forum Can't remember what i did though. V. V. V. frustrating when the Mac is a business tool. I don't want to be a mechanic, I want to be a driver.
Thanks again for your help

SL and SMB file shares gives 'file already in use' errors

Hi all,
I'm posting a question which has been asked here before but not answered.
We have several Mac users accessing files on a SMB share running on a Windows 2003 Server.
Everything worked fine for years until they upgraded to Snow Leopard, then they started experiencing errors when saving changes to an already-created file; they are thrown the error "Could not save <filename> because the file is already in use or was left open" - however it is clearly not open and nobody else has accessed it from the share.
There seems to be a lot of allusions made to this problem and I've seen hints that it was supposed to have been fixed in 10.6.3 - but we're still experiencing it and it's driving our users nuts!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have similar problems with my new MacPros loaded with SL 10.6.4. Every time when the next network user want to open the file the 1st user opened (closed already), it keeps saying the file is in use.

Mail for Exchange already in use error when sendin...

We have a number of Nokia E50-1 on Vodafone network which we are using Mail for Exchange 2.5.3 (mfe) to sync emails with a microsoft Small Business Server 2003 (SBS2003). When we try to reply or send a new email from the E50 we get the error "Mail for Exchange: Already in use". This happens even if the sync is set to manual and email is set to send with next sync. Very ocassionally a message will go if we keep retrying.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?

hi all,
great forums, hopefully someone has some more info on this, as i am getting the same issue.
I had mail for exchange working with my e71 no worries and then i added my home TPG account. the TPG account would not work for some reason, not that it overtly worried me, but then when i tried sending mail through exchange (either reply or new mail) i get the error message 'Mail for exchange: already in use'
I have removed the TPG account, rebooted the thing several times, all sorts of stuff - nothing seems to work. it is still syncing and i am receiving email, i just can't send...!!
any troubleshooting tips or further info would be greatly appreciated
