Spotify paused because account is being used somewhere else
Hello, I have spotify on both my iPad and iPhone. My iPhone works fine but my iPad constantly gets an error while playing saying that "spotify has been paused because your account is being used somewhere else", but it is definitely not. I've even checked to make sure the application is closed on my iPhone and I also have never logged in anywhere else. I also have an issue connecting this account with Facebook. I had an old free account connected to Facebook, which I thought I unlinked, and it won't let me connect my new premium account. Please help.

Account is being used somewhere else
Hi, I'm a Spotify Premium user using the Web Player and recently I keep getting the following message:"Spotify has paused because your account is being used somewhere else" Now before you say the usual lines, Yes I HAVE:Used the "Sign out everywhere" featureRemoved all "offline devices"Changed my passwords on Spotify and Facebook (I know that wasn't the issue anyway) If there was a feature to see a list of current sign-ins this issue would be really easy to debug for users. But I have no way of knowing why Spotify is deciding to trigger this error. Could anyone help me fix this issue? Many Thanks, EL

I am installing creative the cloud Illustrator desktop app on a machine with windows 7 64 bit running in a domain environment. The download starts and takes about runs for a bout 10 minutes and then stops with the error: DF024: Unable to preserve original file at "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows\AdobeLinguistic.dll" Error 32 The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.(Seq 1352)
I am logged in as a network administrator and there are no other apps except a web browser (Chrome) running. There are no other users logged into the machine.
How can I see what other process is using the needed file so that I can fix it?
ThanksMelissaB34 it looks like you already are reviewing your installation log files but you can find more information at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html. From the error you have posted it appears that your current User account is either unable to update C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows\AdobeLinguistic.dll or does not have sufficient file permissions to do so. Since you mentioned you are on a domain please ensure that you are working with your I.T. department and have correct access to this directory.
You may want to also consider logging in under a local administrator account to see if you face the same difficulties. This would help you determine if you are facing a file corruption issue or file permission issue. -
Hi,
We are having issues with Server 2012 R2 SMB shares.
We try to write some changes to a file, but we first create a temporary backup in case the write fails. After the backup is created we write the changes to the file and then we get an error:
The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.
It looks like the backup process keeps the original file in use.
The problem doesn't always occur the first time, but almost everytime after 2 or 3 changes. I have provided some code below to reproduce the problem, you can run this in a loop to reproduce.
The problem is that once the error arises, the file remains 'in use' for a while, so you cannot retry but have to wait at least several minutes.
I've already used Process Explorer to analyze, but there are no open file handles.
To reproduce the problem: create two Server 2012 R2 machines and run the below code from one server accessing an SMB share on the other server.
Below is the code I use for testing, if you reproduce the scenario, I'm sure you get the same error.
We are not looking for an alternative way to solve this, but wonder if this is a bug that needs to be reported?
Anybody seen this behavior before or know what's causing it?
The code:
string file =
@"\\server\share\test.txt";
if (File.Exists(file))
File.Copy(file, file +
".bak", true);
File.WriteAllText(file,
"Testje",
Encoding.UTF8);
The error:
System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.Hi,
There is someone else having the same issue with yours. You could try code in the article below:
“The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process”
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shawncao/archive/2010/06/04/the-process-cannot-access-the-file-because-it-is-being-used-by-another-process.aspx
If you wonder the root cause of the issue, the .NET Framework Class Libraries forum can help.

I dragged a copy of a photo onto my desktop from iPhoto, and it seems to be in some state of process/activity (vs. just being a copy of a photo on my desktop). I tried to delete/move to trash the photo, and I keep getting the following message: “DSC_0073.JPG” can’t be opened right now because it’s being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying the Trash. Try again when the current task is complete.
How do I delete this photo from my desktop?
Thanks!I ended up shutting down my system, and when I started it back up, I was able to drag the photo to the trash and delete it (I did get a message warning that my deleting the photo might negatively affect the application that was "using" it, but I deleted it anyway...it worked...and I'm hoping I didn't adversely affect another application!).
Thanks so much for your help! -
I am trying to move a file from a folder to another folder.
here is my code:
//storage of the all files
string[] folderContentNames = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Users\Jonah\Desktop\Test Pictures");
private void historyPictureBox_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
destinationFile = @"C:\Users\Jonah\Desktop\Test Test";
File.Move(folderContentNames[1], destinationFile);
updateListBoxFileName();
updateImageBox();
each time I hit the bolded underlined part I get that error message.
if you need anything else just ask.
Thanks in advance,
Thor OrbHi Thor,
If you want to move a file from a folder to another folder, I think you could get the sourcePath and TargetPath. The code below shows a simple demo:
string[] folders = Directory.GetFiles(@"D:\Test\VSC#\01\WindowsFormsApp\WindowsFormsApp\Test");
string desFile =Path.Combine( @"D:\Test\VSC#\01\WindowsFormsApp\WindowsFormsApp\Test - Copy\"+Path.GetFileName(folders[1]));
File.Move(folders[1], desFile);
In addition, the link below might be useful to you:
# How to: Copy, Delete, and Move Files and Folders (C# Programming Guide)
>> The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
The message seemed that the file was opened in other process. Did you operate the file with other code?
I think you could check if the files and the folders were opened, and review your codes if they were used in other places.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to post in this forum.
Best Regards,
Edward

Ya, Thanks I figured about the path and destation. yes I am using the file in another area, the file is an image jpg and I am displaying it in a picture box. Now I have been doing a little research I see a command called Dispose() and this is suppose to
release the handle on the image, but I can seem to figure out have to use it correctly.

when I first start the program the first picture displays, but when I trigger historyPictureBox_Click(), it does that error again. Another things is that I already looked at that link and it didn't help.

I recently transferred some data from my external hard drive to my desktop, but there was an error transferring some of the files and it couldn't respond, and eventually i simply removed the external hard drive. However, the folder/files are still on my desktop, and when i try to move them or delete them, this error message appears:
“-folder/file name-” can’t be opened right now because it’s being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying the Trash. Try again when the current task is complete.
Since I removed the external hard drive before the files were finished transferring, there is no way for the current task to be completed. How can I resolve this and delete the folders/files from my desktop?I just managed to resolve this by going to the apple sign in the top left, choosing force quit (or you could do option+command+esc), then i chose finder, and i clicked relaunch. After relaunching finder, the error message doesn't appear anymore, and I could move these files/folders, and delete them just fine.
Hope this will help other people who encounter similar problems in the future! -
Ipod cannot restore"because files are being used by another application"
Hello all,
I hope someone can help me. I think I mad a big mistake. I did a favor for my father who bought the newest IPod clip on shuffle for my mom. I agreed to get it up and running using my laptop, (which has Itunes for my Ipod w/video) would this create a conflict. Unfortunately I didn't think of asking BEFORE i tried to get the shuffle up and running. The shuffle works fine now but my 30GB Ipod is not able to sync any songs and has requested me to restore to the default settings. Which I tried but when I do it states that I can't because "files are being used by another application" So I tried to use the chat help on this website and when I logged in it picked my product type as a SHUFFLE. Can someone give me any advice. ThanksI get this messager and I have no other ipods or dev. to my system and have problems when I disconnect also?? Even have done a complete restore, to no help. Help

I am working with a client who is attempting to backup to a NAS device
The device is a linksys NSS6000 (Cisco device).
It’s a dual 1Gbit LAN device that supports CIFS / FTP and NFS transfers. It has only 1Gbit lan connected.
The device has 4 * 500 gb sata drives in raid 1 attached.
Cables go from cat 5 to fiber back to cat5. (The NAS is located at a neighboring office) The switches are 1gbit.
Server is a win2k8r1 fully up to date.
When backing up to the NAS device, the following error occurs:
Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (86%).
Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (90%).
Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (94%).
Running backup of volume Local Disk(D:), copied (98%).
Backup of volume Local Disk(D:) completed successfully.
Backup stopped before completing.
Summary of backup:
Backup stopped before completing.
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
If we redirect the backup to a folder on a 2008 share, the backup completes successfully.
Only when backing up to the linksys NSS6000 does the error occur.
No other backup processes are writing to the NAS device so I can't understand why the process thinks the file is
being used by another process.
One thing we did notice that when the backup to the NAS device occurs, throughput is about 150 mbit average
On the 2008 server shares we successfully backup to, the through put is 500 mbit. Not sure if that is important, but
might be worth mentioning.
The following event log entry was noted at the end of the backup.
The description for Event ID '519' in Source 'Microsoft-Windows-Backup' cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display the message,
or you may not have permission to access them. The following information is part of the
event:'2009-05-12T10:13:31.617Z', '', '2147942432', '%%2147942432'
Any ideas?
Thanks..MichaelI am also seeing the same problem backing up nightly to a brand new NAS device (WD My Book Live)
All the error codes are the same as those in this thread.
From Windows Event Viewer:
The backup operation that started at '2011-03-25T06:00:19.811302700Z' has failed with following error code '2147942432' (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.). Please review the event details
for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.

Hey,
I have a powershell script where I first use Get-childitem to receive a number of files.
Then I do some stuff with it and try to move the file afterwards.
Unfortunately if I am using a lot of files I receive very often the error:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Even -Force parameter does not help further.
Based on my look around it is not used by another process.
I think it is still 'in use' by powershell from script commands previously.
Is there any way to 'see' if the file is still in use currently and wait for this to end?
Or can I 'close' the current usage of the file?
Thank you :)Hey,
Thank you.
I build the following function.
But either the $return = $true I receive "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." when I try to move-item... :(
Function Wait-FileUnlock($FilePath){
Write-Host " "
$FileInfo = New-Object System.IO.FileInfo $($FilePath)
DO{
try{
$fileStream = $fileInfo.Open([System.IO.FileMode]::Open, [System.IO.FileAccess]::Read, [System.IO.FileShare]::Read)
$return = $true
catch{
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 5
Write-Host "." -NoNewline
$return = $false
While($return -ne $true)
$Error
return $return
Another functions is:
Function Wait-FileUnlock($FilePath){
Write-Host " "
DO{
$Error.Clear()
Rename-Item $FilePath $FilePath -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 5
Write-Host "." -NoNewline
While($Error.Count -ne 0)
This one waits .. but it seems not to end waiting at any time :( -
Hi,
I've a master package that calls other packages with an Execute Package Task. Sometimes we have an error: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" and sometimes not. It seems random.
We are working on a Terminal Server and the SQL Server database engine and the files are placed on another server. It seems that the errors doesn't occu when we run the packages on the server with a job. We can't log onto the windows server on this machine..
HennieI've seen this myself. On most occasions an immediate rerun would fix the issue. As stated this happens only when we try to run this from BIDs. From SQL agent job it always runs fine.

We are exporting crystal reports into PDF using ExportToHttpResponse (code snippet below)

Going by the above, you should have references to CR assemblies of version 10.5.3700 only. No other references.
Now, looking at this paragraph:

I am trying to restore my nano to get my kids' chipmunk and beiber music off and it replys that it cant because files are being used.....what do i need to do???
First and foremost, just say no to Beiber
First, close all open apps on your computer and restart your computer. Open only iTunes when it restarts.
Then, I would reset your iPod, probably not needed but I would do it any way. Hold the sleep/wake button and the volume down button until the Apple logo appears. Wait for it to completely start up to where it is ready to use.
Now try and restore. If the iPod was synced with your own computer to put the music on, you can use it to remove it. Usually that is preferred instead of restoring. -
