Upon opening LR I receive a "Server Busy" dialoge box: "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." I have no other programs open and when I wait a bit it clears with the 'retry' button. Happened following a recent update. I'd really like this to go away - any ideas?

For me this happens when I have Zenfolio or Facebook open in Google Chrome, even if Google Chrome is not active. If you use Chrome, when the error shows up open Chrome and close each one of the tabs and click on the retry in Lightroom. Also happens if Internet explorer is running with either of these two programs.

I cannot open Lightroom. I keep getting the message: "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose "switch to" to activate the program and correct the problem.

I have used my task manager to check to see if another version was open and that did not help. I've signed in and out of CC, that didn't help. The only thing that works is shutting down my computer and restarting. That only lasts for awhile and if I leave it open too long LR doesn't respond and I have to start all over. This just began doing this in the last few days, a few days before that I updated. I am pretty new to LR so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you.
I did the search feature and did locate the .LOCK file (it actually came up with the .LRCAT file) I deleted it but it didn't work. LR will not open and I keep getting the original message I posted, and the only way I can shut down that screen (none of the options will work) is to go into task manager and shut it down.

The action cannot be completed because the file is open on another program

I experience a weird issue.
I have Windows 2008 server. Created 2 shares on the server. Every day starting between 2 and 7 PM i cannot save or rename files and folders at the root of the share. I have no problem to rename files in sub folders. This issue happens if i trying to rename
file on vie server console, or accessing the share from Windows 7. no issues from Windows XP. the error i get: "the action cannot be completed because the file is open on another program"
I don't have any software running on that server except Backup Exec that runs backup at night. I uninstalled Antivirus, still same issue.
Please help.

Hi,
The folder rename operation fails because thumbcache.dll still has an open handle to the local thumbs.db file and does not currently implement a mechanism to release the handle to the file in a more dynamic and timely fashion.
For more detailed information, please refer to the kb article below:

Cannot delete pdfs - says Action cannot be completed because file open in another program

Please help. I cannot delete any adobe files because get message above. I have tried repairing Adobe Acrobat but does not help.

I have no idea of your Acrobat version. For example, AA9 is currently at 9.5.4. The updates may resolve your problem (Help>Updates). However, you may find you have to not only close Acrobat, but also check the running tasks to be sure it is totally closed. Do not disable AcroTray or you will lose the ability to print to the Adobe PDF printer.

this phone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. i have installed and re installed the program and every time i plug my iphone 6 in the same message pops up

Have managed to cure it based upon the following information received -
I keep having this problem with iTunes when I try to connect my iPod Touch to iTunes. I keep getting this error message: "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed".
What I did:
Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes.
I have already done this required step about a hundred times and I am still getting this same error so if you have any idea of what I can do please help.
Solution
I was running the 64-bit version if iTunes, and I did uninstall and re-install just to make sure -- no luck. Turns out there's a really easy solution, I'll spare you the detail of how I figured it out, but if you encounter the same issue, here's the solution:
1) Using WinRAR (or any other decent archiving program), extract iTunesWindows64Setup.exe
2) Right click on AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi and choose Properties.
3) Switch to the Compatibility tab and check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box, and select your only option, "Previous versions of Windows", in the drop-down box.
4) Click OK
5) Double click the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
6) Tell it to Repair your current installation
7) Done!

Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue. I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all. Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

A bit more information would be needed to understand what's going on?
What happens when you try to reply... Do you get an error message, is there no send button, does a symbol appear?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
