Untitled File Already in Use or Protected

Hi everyone,
from the starting point when I click on the text editor of Apple Work, a box appears; it says: "untitled file already in use or protected; open a copy?", but I just opened AppleWorks and not one AW file was opened or protected.
I have a .doc file in the trash, and every time I try to empty the trash, another similar box opens (can't empty the trash because the .doc file is still in use - Stop - Continue-). Useless to say that it's not in use at all.
Help would be SO appreciated...
Thanks.

Unless your new account has the same user name, it is almost certainly a permissions issue. Select this templates folder in the Finder, Get Info (File > Get Info, ⌘ i or through the contextual menu), click the triangle next to Details under Ownership & Permissions & change the permissions on the folder to Read & Write for all users &, lastly, click the button to apply to enclosed items. Hopefully, this will reset them. I have found that sometimes the change isn't applied to items in folders inside the first folder, so you may have to do this in several steps.

Error message when finalizing...file already open with write protection

I just created my first movie in i Movie. It's about 9 minutes long. When I tried to finalize it it worked for a couple of hours and then came up with a message "unable to prepare project for publishing because an error occurred (file already open with write protection)". What does this mean? I thought I had closed all the files I was using. There was no error number. I tried it 3 times and got the same message. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

AppleMan, I just checked that and it looks like Time Machine isn't open. I checked it by going to finder>applications>R click on time machine. It gave me the option to "open" which makes me think it's already closed. Is there somewhere else I need to be looking?
I made another movie that was just a couple of clips and it finalized fine. On that movie, I had some MTS clips and I converted them to mp4's so iMovie could read them.
In the one that didn't work I did clip one of the movies before I imported it into iMovie. It saved as a .mov instead of a .mp4. Would that make a difference? I checked all of the files and none of them are listed as locked, so I really don't get the "write protected" aspect of this error.

I am getting this error for last 2-3 days. I need to start up the database manually.
Daily there is crontab schedule which will take the cold backup and startup the database. When I am checking daily morning. DBt is going into MOUNT stage instead of OPEN stage. I have check the script every thing is fine.
Note: This is happening intermetendly. Also is error is happening with different datafiles each time.

This is the cold_backup Script ...
1) First, it will shutdown the db.
2) Copy all the crb files to the backup location.CRB files? Do you mean data files, control files and spfile/pfile?
3) Startup the db.
4) ZIp the files.
5) Deletes the old uncompress files.Any special reason why you use this approach? It may in fact be slower than zipping and compressing on the fly.
For example, 10GB of data files need to be be backed up. You can follow the above approach and make a 10GB copy. Then read that copied 10GB (20GB in total read at this stage) and then compress it (CPU resources needed) and then write 5GB of compressed data (assuming a 50% compression ratio was achieved).
Now compare this with reading 10GB, compressing it (CPU resources needed) and then writing 5GB. Not only is this significantly less I/O to do, but less physical space is needed too.
As for your problem - you can add some debugging code into the cold backup script to show whether any processes are using any of the Oracle datafiles prior to starting the Oracle instance. If so, then doing a process listing of the "guilty" process to determine who it is.
Also keep in mind that you also need clean starts and exits from shell scripts... in other words, what happens if a 2nd copy of the cold backup is started? Or when a previous run failed and is stuck as a background process?
In my experience, this is often the cause of the problem you're seeing - the database is started up, but the cold backup has a rogue process (remnant of some script failure) that still locks Oracle datafiles.

Could not use file ''; already in use

Setup: DW8, asp VBscript, DNS less connection to Access
database, localhost
In DW8, open web page that has a Dynamic table using any
recordset. Live Data View. No problem. Data displays.
Now in Server Behaviors double click Recordset1. Click test.
No problem. Data displays in popup window.
Now click Live Data View again and get the error
"Microsoft Jet Database Enging (0x80004005)
Could not use ''; file already in use"
It seems that Dreamweaver still holds the Access file open
even after displaying the Recordset1 data in Server Behviors.
Any solution?
(Permission setting on the Access database seem to be ALL
ok.)

There is a problem with both Photoshop and InDesign, then we can blame wich ever it is.
1. I open a .psd file in Photoshop CS4 by double clicking it in Bridge
2. This image is placed on a page in a open InDesign document.
3. Doing some changes in Photoshop on the image.
4. Trying to save and get this error message (this topics subject)
5. Deleting the image from the page in ID doc, it is the only one in the document.
6. Can't still save file.
7. Closing ID completely and now I am able to save the file.
I tried turning of Live preflight in Indegisn but that didn't help.
So probably the fault is InDesign or the MacOS. I didn't have this problem with CS3. It is a stupid problem because this type of workflow is pretty common and one would expect it to be solved by now.

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.

Transport takes a long time with 'file already in use' message in tp log

Hello,
We are implementing SAP ECC 6.0 on IBM iSeries, i5/OS V5R4.
I am encountering the following problem when conducting an import on TQA system from a transport request done from DEV :
The import takes a very long time without being implemented, with the following message in the tp system log :
'WARNING: /usr/sap/trans/tmp/TQA.LOB is already in use (10), I'm waiting 1 sec (20080515222358). My name: pid 621 on MASAPTQA (tqa00)
The message keeps repeating continuously, with the pid changed each time, and the waiting time (in seconds) also changed each time.
In general, the pid does not even exist.
What could be the cause of this problem ?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Best regards.
Reda Khalifa

Hello Sally,
Thank you for your interest.
I've gone through SAP note 12746.
I deleted the log file /usr/sap/trans/tmp/TQA.LOB after making sure that pid 640 which appeared in the old message in the tp system log did not exist. But this resulted in the message :
'WARNING: Cannot remove /usr/sap/trans/tmp/TQA.LOB : No such file or directory' to appear once in the tp system log and for a very long time.
I re-generated the transport profile file, and released a new transport from DEV to TQA, and tried to import this new request, and now the message in the tp system log is :
WARNING: /usr/sap/trans/tmp/DEVKK917158.TQA is already in use (20), I'm waiting 4 sec (20080516225456). My name: pid 663 on MASAPTQA', where DEVKK917158 is the transport request number generated from the DEV system.
pid 663 now corresponds to an active job (I used command WRKPID)
Any clues ?
Thank you for your cooperation.
Best regards.

Timemachine diskimage file already in use

Out of the blue I get an error from Timemachine. Apparently the diskimage file is already in use.
I'm backing up to a Timecapsule (2T) and haven't had any trouble with Timemachine yet.
Any clues anyone, how I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks!

Thanks Pondini, resetting my Timecapsule did it!
You're site on troubleshooting Time Machine is a valuable resource!

File already in use ?

Hello,
When I open and close a pdf file with acrobat, then it's impossible for me to edit and save with another program.
"File already opened".
I think Acrobat keep it open or something like that, even if I close it.
Is there an option to clear the cache when I close Acrobat ?
Maybe another solution ?
Thanks for your help.

Problems with backing up with time machine: image file already in use

I back up my iMac with Time machine and my 1st generation time capsule works fine for a while, then I get the error message "The backup disk image marco’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use". And I need to delete it and start from scrach - annoying.
Any help? thx

If you are using OS 10.7.5 as your profile shows, you should have Airport Utility 5.6. If you select the drive and open manual setup you can disconnect all users.

Opening an Excel file already created - using ADF faces

I have an action that exports a bunch of data to an excel file using jXLS, which seems to work nicely. However, the file is exported outside of my application context. I would like to open the file right into the file stream so that when they click on the link, it just opens the file directly in the browser or prompts for download.
Here's my action code. Any suggestions would greatly appreciated.
     public String selectForExcel() throws IOException {
     final String templateFileName = "../server/default/tmp/stats_template.xls";
     final String destFileName = "../server/default/tmp/chart_output.xls";
     Map beans = new HashMap();
beans.put("platformStats", deviceStats);
XLSTransformer transformer = new XLSTransformer();
transformer.transformXLS(templateFileName, beans, destFileName);
return "success";
     }

Add the following code to an action that returns null. The action will return the user to the current page and will be presented with a download prompt. This code should work well for your case.
Regards.
public static synchronized void downloadFile(String filename, String fileLocation, String mimeType,
FacesContext facesContext) {
ExternalContext context = facesContext.getExternalContext();
String path = context.getInitParameter("externalFiles") + fileLocation;
String fullFileName = path + filename;
File file = new File(fullFileName);
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) context.getResponse();
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" + filename + "\"");
response.setContentLength((int) file.length());
response.setContentType(mimeType);
try {
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
// Copy the contents of the file to the output stream
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int count;
while ((count = in.read(buf)) >= 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, count);
in.close();
out.flush();
out.close();
facesContext.responseComplete();
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println("Error in downloadFile: " + ex.getMessage());
ex.printStackTrace();
}

NSS3000: file already in use by myself

A customer with a NSS3000 with I think firmware 1.20.1 (the firmware was pre-released to us via cisco support for a backup issue), after some months with no problems, sometimes when try to open files the NAS reply that the file is already open by himself. After about 10 minutes he retry and the file open correctly.
Problem verified with different client/users/files.
I attach the log file:
from Jan 21 14:42 to 14:44 the NAS reply with error
after that period the user can reopen the file

Attachment corrupted. This should be correct.
