Why do I get "Error - That file is locked" when trying to save?

Everytime I try to save a new sequence in FCP I get an error stating "Error - That file is locked" with no additional elements to determine which file is locked. I haven't changed any settings and I am the administrator of the computer. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this.
Thank you!

Everytime I try to save a new sequence in FCP I get an error stating "Error - That file is locked"
Do you mean when you try to save the project? If so, check the project file (Get Info) and see if it is actually locked.

I'm in UK but am getting Errors 503, 105007 and 105002 when trying to update

I'm in UK but am getting Errors 503, 105007 and 105002 when trying to publish updates to 2 websites. System maintenance is going on right now in US and Australia but nothing about Europe. its Sunday 1900 here ( UTC+1)
I was getting the same errors about 20 hours ago too - surely maintenance in US won't affect Europe and wouldn't prevent publishing for 24 hours?
Any suggestions = I guess the Adobe help desk will be SNAFU

From BC Blog Post:
Partner registration, Trial site creation Muse Publish, APIs, FTP and some admin section will not be available for 4 hours on all data centers.
If you see the errors after maintenance is complete contact BC Support.

Itunes library .itl file is locked when trying to upgrade to IOS5

Itunes library .itl file is locked when trying to download IOS5 upgrade. Can someone help?

Usually when you get this problem in vista, it is to do with folder permissions.
The account you are using needs full control of the iTunes and iTunes Music folder.

Getting error message Cannot Resolve Symbol when trying to compile a class

Hello All -
I am getting an error message cannot resolve symbol while trying to compile a java class that calls another java class in the same package. The called class compiles fine, but the calling class generates
the following error message:
D:\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\cal>javac
ConnectionPool.java

PooledConnection pcon = new PooledConnection(con);
^
ConnectionPool.java:144: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class PooledConnection
location: class cal.ConnectionPool
PooledConnection pcon = new PooledConnection(con);
The code is listed as follows for PooledConnection.java (it compiles fine)
package cal;
import java.sql.*;
public class PooledConnection {

private Connection connection = null;
// boolean flag used to determine if connection is in use

I am using Sun JDK Version 1.3.0_02" and Apache/Tomcat 4.0. Both the calling and the called class are in the same directory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
tnx..

Is ConnectionPool in this "cal" package as well as PooledConnection? From the directory you are compiling from it appears that it is. If it is, then you are compiling it incorrectly. To compile ConnectionPool (and PooledConnection similarly), you must change the current directory to the one that contains cal and type
javac cal/ConnectionPool.

I get "cannot create file" eror message when trying to download files

I am having the exact same problem as this person and have done all the things suggested there.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2725751&#2725751
None of them work for me. Also when I try to change permissions I get an error message that says "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 5)." This happened after I let my hard drive get too full a week or two ago.
Thanks in advance for any help

HI Julian,
Which of the many replies did you try?
Have you run disk pemissions repair with the Disk Utility?
Try this: Check the permissions on the desktop,
clicking on the desktop itself go to the "File" menu "Get Info"
Make sure that you have Read & Write in the "Ownership & Permissions" portion of the get info window, however if in the General portion of the "Get Info" window if the "Locked" checkbox is checked it will also prevent you from creating new files in the folder, if it is checked, uncheck it.
Try downloading a file, any better?
If not....are you able to download files in a test account?
Try Safari in a other user or "Test" account, to create one:
Under the Blue Apple go > System Preferences /Accounts/ Login Options use the [+] to create one, for ease you could enter test in all the fields.
A test account helps us determine if this is a system wide issue or isolated to your user name account.
Let us know.

This is because Chrome does not use Adobe Flash Player. Chrome uses something called Pepper Flash, maintained by Google (not Adobe). The issues you are experiencing are Adobe Flash Player issues.

File error: Access Denied in FCP when trying to save a project.

Can anyone help? I'm trying to save a project in FCP, however I keep getting an error stating access denied.

Save it to a different folder or hard drive, quit and then try repairing your permissions with Disk Utility...
You could also go to the folder where you are trying to save to, press command-i and check to see if the ownership is correct... then try to save (then run the Permissions repair).

Vendor get error that submission deadline reached when it has not.

Hi,
The vendor when opens the bid invitation to submit a bid get an error End day has been reached. Submission deadline passed. but the bid invitation is still valid and the submission dead has not been reached.
Has anybody faced this problem?
Regards,
Ramesh-

I guess they both are different fields . I would suggest you to populate "Submission deadline date" and leave the other field blank.
Then the bidders can submit bids till the 'Submission deadline date' period.
Hope this solves your problem.

I get Error Code: S7363-1266-48444350 when trying to watch Netflix

I am unable to watch Netflix on my iMac using Safari. I get the Error Code: S7363-1266-48444350 my monitor isn't HDCP complaint. Tried Chrome but got this Malware crap I had to remove.
Yosemite 10.10.2

A poster named Barney - 15E posted a possible workaround in:
HDCP error: can't play iTunes movies or netflix with yosemite
Enable the Develop menu in Safari's preferences, Advanced.
When using Netflix, In the Develop menu, select User Agent>Firefox - Mac.
Or, you can just install Firefox and use that for viewing Netflix.

Why do I get "Error - That file is locked" when trying to save?
