Project locked permission madness

OK, I reformatted my entire drive (I was having all kinds of crashing and preference corruption and got fed up). Anyway...
I then restored the contents of the old Movies folder (From Time Machine) to the newly formatted drive with new accounts (and new account names). Using the Get Info window, I have been able to fix the permissions on 3 out of 4 iDVD projects (part of an entire set I edited).
However, there is one project which will not open at all. I've made sure the permissions to Read & Write for ALL accounts on my machine: 3 plus "everyone" and "system."
Here is the error I get:
Project Locked by Other User
The project PRTPRB001 is locked by the user administrator (user ID 504): 2009-06-07 10:19:47 -0500.
The project can't be opened at this time.
I had this same error for the other projects. By changing permissions as described above, I eliminated the error and can open and save. It's driving me crazy why I cannot do this with this one project. Does anyone know what could be the solution?

Maybe you should have a look at the Mac OS X discussions. There are a few threads on problems with permissions, padlocks on hard drives. There are a couple of suggestions in using Terminal to overcome your type of problem. I had a similar problem and was able to get a Terminal fix that worked.

SQLServer 2008 R2: The SCHEMA LOCK permission was denied on the object

Hi all,
I encounter the following error while developing a SSRS project that connects to a SQL Server Database view:
"Msg 229, Level 14, State 71, Procedure sp_getschemalock, Line 1
The SCHEMA LOCK permission was denied on the object 'Table4', database 'DBRemote', schema 'dbo'."
That view uses a linked server to select data from a remote SQL Server Database (SQL Server 2005).
There are no sql hints specified in my views
My view T-SQL is:
Select
From linksv.DBRemote.dbo.Table1 T1
Inner Join linksv.DBRemote.dbo.Table2 T2 On
T1.fk1 = T2.pk1
Inner Join view1 v1 On
T2.fk2 = v1.pk2
My t-sql for view1 is:
Select
From linksv.DBRemote.dbo.Table3 T3
Inner Join linksv.DBRemote.dbo.Table4 T4 On
t3.fk1 = T4.pk1
The object specified in error message above refers to Table "linksv.DBRemote.dbo.Table4" (see view above)
SQL Server Permissions are set for all objects involved in the queries above.
The funny thing is that the error occurs when I run my report from the report server webinterface
and my report project is loaded in BIDS at the same time.
The error occurs when I execute the query in SSMS 2008 and also when I run the query
in BIDS 2008 Query designer.
I also wondering why the error referes to the "linksv.DBRemote.dbo.Table4" remote object only
but not to the other remote objects in that query.
Im not sure where to look any further on what might cause this error.
Appreciate any help very much.
Thanks
Bodo

yes, this error happens because the login that is mapped on the second side of the linked-server is missing the read permission on the object. All queries done trhough linked-server will acquire a schema-lock just so that SQL can read the results correctly.
I don't know exactly WHY it does it this way, but it does.
to fix the error message, give the required permission to the login on the server that is target of the linked-server configuration - be it Windows Authentication, SQL Login, or connections "made using the logins current security context". The preferable
way is to map 1-to-1 every login that will be used in the Security tab of the Linked Server Properties page.
I made a post about this:

Project Locked by another user

Ok, I kind of broke my MacBook Pro and had to buy another one. I took the HDD out of my old MacBook and connected it to my new MacBook through a SATA to USB converter. I am trying to get my iMovie projects off the old drive but it tells me that the project is locked by another user, the username that I had on my old MacBook. I have tried everything to get it open including copying it to the shared folder, taking ownership, and changing permissions and no luck. Any ideas short of swapping the HDDs.

Needed to delete a file within the project called "Project.lock"

Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?

Hi
Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?
How can I change Permissions for the individual users to see specific projects or all projects in project center and to see specific quick launch items?
For Example: if i have 4 users, A, B, C and D. what i want is:
User A can see everything and act as a project manager or Admin.
User B can view all projects in project centre but can change the schedule or resource assignment etc.
User C can only act as approver of projects and can view all projects in project centre.
User D can only view specific projects for which permissions are given.
can i have some expert help in sorting and understanding permission modes... as i was playing with project server mode permissions and can't figure out how to apply the above scenario to set of my user.
Thanks in Advance
Cheers

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to this link for detailed explanations about PS2013 security model.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197638(v=office.15).aspx
Actually, it will take a couple of days to explain in detail the security model that is a fundamental and tricky aspect of every PS implementation. But basically, you NEVER set permissions for a single user. You have groups in which your insert users. Groups
define "what users can do". Then you associate groups to a corresponding category. Categories define "what user can see". Thus the association of a group with a category will set "what the user can do on the objects he can see". Then, for more advanced security
level, you can use the RBS that will consist in "branches" in which you'll insert users. Based on those branches, you'll customize categories to fine-tune what user can see (for projects and resources) depending on the RBS branch and level.
I'd advice you to start "playing" in a test environment with the default categories/groups that might probably cover your need.
Concerning your 4 users:
user A : add him to the "administrator" group. Be careful that you're mentionning either project manager or administrator, which are 2 groups/categories with totally different permissions level.
user B : basically can see everything and change everything? it could be in the project manager group, assuming that there are no project visibility restrictions on the category via the RBS.
user C : waht do you mean by "approver"? Workflow approvals? Then it will be the portfolio manager group. Task update or timesheet approval? Then it is another long topic: please refer in the documentation to the "status manager" and "timesheet manager"
concepts. There are not related to the security model. In a few words, the status manager is the owner of the project plan, is defined for each task and approves tasks updates. The timesheet manager is an attribute defined for each resource in its parameters
and approves resource timesheet.
user D : you have to define which permission level must be given to this user. Basically it could be a team member that will see only projects he's in the project team. Note that team member cannot interact with the project plan in another way than submitting
timesheets and/or tasks updates which must be approved.
Once more, those are large and complex subjects that require a deep dive into your business model and tons of tests in a test environment.
Hope this helps.

Error mesage: Project locked by other user?

Hello,
I just re-opened my external hard drive after a month vacation from it and tried to open my IDVD file only to get an error message:
Project locked by other user:
The project ZOOOM demo reel 10-07 is locked by the user Video (used ID 501): 2007-12-19 10:42:27-600
The project can't be opened at this time.
I went into the file's "get info" and unlocked everything to no avail. I'm puzzled. I have never seen this before. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Jordan

Control click on the icon of your external drive and select Get Info. Check the box that says, "Ignore Ownership on this Volume." See if that solves it.
Make sure that your hard drive is formatted for Apple. Should be Mac OS extended or Mac OS extended (journaled). But if you reformat, be sure to first move your data to another drive, because reformatting will erase all data on the drive.
If that doesn't work, use the Disk Utility app on your Mac to do a permissions repair on both your startup drive and your external drive.

How do you restore a password on a locked folder made in disk utility?

how do you restore a password on a locked folder made in disk utility?

Hello there, HoseDwellers.
The following Knowledge Base article as a great step by step instructional on how to change the password for the account:
OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
Resetting a user's password in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion
Important: Passwords for administrator accounts should not be blank.
Log in with an administrator account. Tip: If you don't know the password of any administrator accounts, see "Resetting the original administrator account password" below.
From the Apple menu choose System Preferences.
From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
Click the lock button if it appears locked; enter the administrator password.
Select the name of the user whose password you want to change.
Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.
Enter a new password in both the New Password and Verify fields, and add a Password Hint if desired.
Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.This should get you taken care of.
Remember, also, that you can restart the computer (you will be prompted to enter your administrator password) and this should log him out so that when you log back in, you can then follow the above steps with success.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Project Locked by Other User! But it's me!

Today I wanted to open an old (2006) iDVD projectfile (.dvdproj) with iDVD 7.1 and I got a messagebox of the program which said:
"Project Locked by Other User
The project America del Sur is locked by the user casper (user ID ###): 2006-04-30 20:253:34 +2000.
The project can't be opened at this time
<OK>"
Does anybody knows what I can do about it to open my project. I want to burn a new DVD of this project. Please help me

IDVD project locked

I recently redid my harddrive and I just now tried to reinstall it, but the massive amounts of problems I'm having with that are for another time. My project in iDVD is locked and I can't access it. MY OWN PROGRAM LOCKED ITSELF!!!!! Please help, I need this done within hours. Please anything!

Hi BlindLuck
Welcome to apple discussions. Please explain what you mean by "redid my hard drive". Exactly how did you redo your HDD? Did you use Time Machine? Or do you mean you cloned it using Carbon Copy or SuperDuper and now cannot access a specific iDvd project file? We need more details and exactly which steps were taken to recover your data. Did you happen to change any user accounts or passwords along the way? If so, we need to know this as well.
You can try the following if all else fails:
Control-click on the project in the Finder to show the contents. Open the resources folder and delete 'project.lock' file. Hope that helps but if not just come on back.

Project Server 2013 Project Site Permission

Hi All,
Q1: We are using project server 2013, most of the time the projects are created by the PMO coordinators and it will be assigned to the project manager. Project coordinator and Project Manager belongs to "Project Manager" group. After assigning
the project when the project manager tries to access Project Site, he is getting "why you want to access this site". When I checked project site permission only project coordinator name is added to the Owners group. Normally the project owner should
have the permission to the project site, how to fix it.
Q2: We have different enterprise project type with different site templates. When the project type is changed from one type to another, is it possible to delete and recreate the respective project sites automatically.
Thanks in advance, Taj

Taj,
Q1) this is a question related to how your security is set up. If you are using Project Server Permission mode, people in Project managers groups, who have edit ability on your project will get added to the Project manager Synchronized group on the project
site upon publish. You just need to make sure your secueiry ctegories and groups are set up as such.
Alternatively, you could set the owner of the project to be the project manager once they take ownership.
Q2) This will be a manual activity. You need to disconnect the site under server settings, then delete site. Then you can create the site, which will pickup the new EPT set project site template automatically.

IDVD project locked by another user

Hi all!
I have recently changed the hard drive of my iBook.
All projects were on an external firewire drive.
After installing the system, i tried to reopen one of my project, and get the message (translated from french) :
"Project locked by another user
The project xyz was locked by the user Phil (501) + time and date of the probable last save". It must be refering to the user of my old system.
How do i get to reopen this project?
OK sorry I have found the answer : needed to delete a file called project.lock and i was up and running

Needed to delete a file within the project called "Project.lock"

IDVD Project Locked. wont let me open.

I recently wiped my partition and reinstalled all my apps.
And when I reloaded the OS I used a different name.
However when I try to open a certain iDVD project I get this message
"The project Bday Pool Party Sleepover 2009
is locked by the user xxxxxx (user ID 501):
2009-08-26 16:48:09 -0400.
The project can't be opened at this time".
However Im able to open other iDVD projects I created under
the same previous user name but not this one.
And this is my home computer and no one else has access to it.
And I never locked or password protected it in iDVD if thats even possible.
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

To quote Rich839:
I would start with deleting preferences and doing a permissions repair. To delete preferences, close iMovie and trash the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User(the house icon)/Library/Preferences. iDVD will replace that file on relaunch. To do a permissions repair, open Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities. Select your hard drive icon displayed at the top of the left hand pane, and then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait a few minutes while permissions are repaired, and when finished, launch iDVD and see if you still have the problem.
Last suggestion: Try adding a new user account with the authors name of the original iDvd project file.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

On the other hand, there are those of us that appreciate the theft protection provided by the latest IOS.
There are certain things to watch out for when purchasing used devices of any sort, the first of which is to ensure that you're not buying stolen property. Since you are unable to obtain cooperation from the seller, perhaps your device was stolen!

" Project Locked by Other User" HELP!!!

Hi Everyone!
I am having a problem opening my daughters 1st year DVD. Last summer, our iMac died, and we replaced the hard drive. We were able to salvage all the files, and put them onto an external.
Now, I am trying to open one of those salvaged files from iDVD, and I am getting this message:
The project Mairead...The first year1 is locked by the user Steph (user ID 501): 2008-11-30 17:23:42 -0500.
The project can't be opened at this time.
I've tried switching the username to Steph, and it still doesn't work. When I click on it and open the info, it says everyone is "read and/or write" ---
Please help!!! I don't know what to do...
Thanks!
