Odd message when copyying to another disk

I'm trying to copy from one FW drive to another. I tried moving some .mov files but something screwed up, now they're grayed out and when I try to trash them I get the message file in use by another application, but no other application is open. Now when trying to copy another clip it stops copying. Hmm. Any ideas?

Or even just logging out and back in (basiclly restart the finder).

you need to run Desktop Manager with administrator privileges.
If you cannot do that, you can install the Roxio Media Manager standalone.

Odd messages when creating text object (se75)

I am trying to create a text object and text id's for an application. I go to se75 to do this and make a text object called ZABC and upon save I get an informational message saying the following:
Observe name ranges: Y,Z for customers, J_NC for partners, A..X for SAP
When I click the green checkbox, it pops up another box saying the object is not within the valid name range. Save anyway?
I tried creating one with Z_ABC and that came up with the same thing. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Josh

Odd message when trying to save to alias of Pictures folder

Hi. Maybe someone can help me. When I try to save an image to an alias of my Pictures folder that is located on the desktop, the image *does* get saved to a folder *within* the Pictures folder called Original Images. Then I get an error message reading "File alias [path to alias] [name of picture file] wasn't found." I click OK on this dialog box and it reappears seven or eight times. Note that this occurs *both* when I save to the Pictures folder itself as well as when I save to its alias. I deleted the alias and made a new one, again placing it on the desktop, yet the problem persists. This usually happens when I come across a picture file on the Web that I wish to save.
I am running Mac OS 10.7.5 on a MacBook Pro with 4 GB of RAM. I've recently repaired the file permissions. This behavior started a few days ago. The Web browser I use is Firefox version 15.
I'm just really puzzled about why all of a sudden these new, saved images are now automatically being placed in this subfolder called "Original Images." And the error messages are disconcerting. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, everyone, but I fixed the problem. I had accidentally turned on an Applescript to keep the Pictures folder organized.

Odd message when trying to install 10.7

Unable to install 10.7 though I get the message that my HD is the drive used for TM-backups

Please clarify...
Are you trying to install Lion on the external drive that also has Time Machine backup or is the drive empty?
If it has Time Machine backups on the drive, you would need to partition the drive.
BTW, have you considered installing Mavericks rather than Lion?
While your computer might meet the requirements, also check your applications for Mavericks compatibility here: http://roaringapps.com/
OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
          ▪          iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
          ▪          MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
          ▪          MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
          ▪          MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
          ▪          MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
          ▪          Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
          ▪          Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
          ▪          Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
          ▪          OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
          ▪          2 GB or more of memory
          ▪          8 GB or more of available space

Odd message when attempting to open iTunes

After installing the latest iTunes I attempting to open it so I could import some music. I got a message saying
"Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.0.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
So I redownloaded the install file and ran it for a repair check but I got the same message. I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it with the latest .exe file off of the website but I continue to get the same message. What do I need to do?

Download and then run the QuickTime standlone installer

Odd message when attempting to install 10.5.1

trying to install 10.5.1. update through software update
got this message once I agreed to terms/conditions:
You do not have appropriate access privileges.
The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.
I'm the only user on this account and I fixed the admin changing to standard privileges issue.

Bummer. You probably don't want to hear this but I think you have some low level corruption in your OS. You could probably try a million different things but it would probably be faster, easier and better to do a full reformat of your system drive (after backing everything of course) and installing 10.5 "from scratch". Then run the update and make sure that everything is working properly before moving anything back from your backup. And don't just "migrate" your entire backup over to the fresh install because there is a chance that whatever is causing your problem will get slurped back into your new system. Reset your prefs and reinstall your apps and move your data files in "blocks" testing as you go to make sure your system remains stable.

Error message when using the DVD drive

I have a Satellite P200D and every time I put a disk of any kind into the disk drive I get an NO-DISK error message when I eject the disk. I always make sure that I shut all programs relating to use of the disk before trying to take the disk out. This is a new problem as I have used the laptop for a couple of months without any issues at all. The text of the error message is below. Any pointers would be appreciated. I can live with it but it would be nice not to have to.
Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x764C023C 0x8E4A1B6C 0x764C023C 0x764C023C

Ok, if you try to eject the disk using the eject button on the side of the laptop, why not try ejecting through software in windows.
To do this right click on the dvd drive in my computer and then click on "eject". This might tell windows that its ok to let the drive go now.
Another solution would be to save all important data to another drive, then return the laptop to "out of box condition" using the recovery disc. I'd say problem will go away.
However, if problems persist, please see your place of purchase for a check up.
Good luck.

Getting "layer break" error message when trying to Preview a single sided DVD, or build an ISO image or disk folder

Hi! Hoping someone might be able to help with an odd problem. I haven't found anything in the forums or the web that match my symptoms.
I've been using Encore CS6 (v6.0.1.013) on a MacBook retina over the past year to successfully create a number of single sided DVDs with menus, chapters, and all that. I usually make a copy of a previous DVD project, and then replace video assets with the new files and transcodes, move and rename chapter markers, and rework the menus in Photoshop. I then will build ISO images for both DVD and Blu-Ray (both single-sided), and use those to burn many copies of each DVD for clients.
This week, while developing one of these projects, when trying to build a DVD ISO image that looked like it would fit on a 4.7 GB DVD, I received the "layer break" message ("The chosen layer break does not satisfy dual layer requirements. To fix this, either set a new layer break manually, or choose to set layer break automatically.") because (I'm guessing) the material was too long for the 4.7 GB DVD (the Build screen now shows about 5GB of material are in the project). This is the first time I've seen that message - usually Encore just tells me the material is too big for the DVD.
I re-transcoded the material down to well under 4.7 GB (about 3.9 GB), reverted and replaced the transcoded files, and now the DVD build screen shows that there are about 700MB free on a 4.7 GB DVD. But I still have not been able to build any version of the DVD (image, folder, disc), without getting the "layer break" message. I also now get this same layer break message when trying to "Preview from Here" any menu, killing my ability to preview the DVD menus in Encore.
Just to see what would happen, I chose an 8.4GB Dual Layer DVD, and chose "manual" instead of "automatic" for the layer break selection, but never got the layer break selection dialog box, just the "layer break" error message.
I typically build both DVD and Blu-Ray images from the same material in the same project. I use different transcoding settings for each, and I have been able to build a Blu-Ray ISO without this "layer break" error on the Blu-Ray build (which is about 24.5GB when built). And as I mentioned before, this is the first project on which I've even seen this layer break message.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'd rather not recreate the project from scratch, but I'm worried that I may have to.
Thanks
Jon

The total project being small enough may mean you have one layer that is too big. Both layers have to be smaller than half the disk, right?
Be sure you "run as administrator" for dual layer projects.
Encore may set the layer break correctly if it finds a good place, but there are numerous complaints about it being unreliable.
Build to a folder (no layer break is set), then use ImgBurn to build and ask to be prompted for layer break. ImgBurn is also unreliable under some circumstances.
The most frequent problems appear to be when there is no good location for a break. Do a search for "layer break imgburn" and you will see a variety of strategies.

Disk is full message when saving a word document

When I try to save my word document it says "the disk is full trying to save to Macintosh HD, please clear up some space or try saving to another disk." But I checked and I have 129GB of free space on my hard drive. It says the same thing when I try to save to my USB drive. What should I do?

What version of MS Word?
Where are you trying to save the document?
Is that the exact wording of the message?

I am in mavericks disk utility recovery mode as my mac book will not boot up & stays only on the grey apple screen. When I verify the disk I get open error5 :input /output error on Syst stuck on 1 minute pouring out over 50 error messages & still counting

I am in Mavericks disk utility recovery mode as my mac book pro will not boot up & stays on the Apple grey screen . When I verify disk permissions I get
Open error 5:"input/ output error" on syst with over 50 of this messages & still counting . Disk Utility says 1 minute
But this has been going on for over 10 mins .
I can not verify disk or repair disk .
I have tried to reinstall mavericks operating system but it says my hard drive is locked which is very strange .
Does anyone know what is going on here ?
My system looks like it has been totally corrupted . Thanks Andrew

Could be. The "lock" isn't actually looking for a password.
WARNING: This will completely erase the ENTIRE hard drive.
What you would need to do is boot to recovery > disk utility > select the MAIN drive on the left side > partition > change partition layout from CURRENT to 1 PARTITION > ensure on the right side it says Format : Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) then push APPLY.
Then if it will allow us, close the windows until you see the 4 options popup again and select "Reinstall Mac OS X" select the Mac HD and you should be good to go!
