Why is this file locked (man chflags), does it need to be, and is it safe to unlock it?
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Enterprise/Resources/Resource_3_1.db
Type this into a terminal in OS X, the above file appears to have a flag set to lock.
x-man-page://chflags
<the-sound-of-crickets>
The reason I'm asking, we have a bunch of computers we inherited that have some permissions issues within each user's respective home directory ("~"). The issue effects Acrobat Pro X's ability to launch ("Internal error occurred") since it tries to get access files/folders it doesn't have access to when the user launches. Recursively setting ownership to the respective user fixes the problem (and follows Apple's guidelines). However, that one file appears to have the unix file lock set (man chflags). So we are using a pre-installation script on our push policy to loop through every home directory. It appears the above file is the only one that won't let us change permissions.

Every time I sign in, it signs me out immediately. I've tried deleting the opm file and it's unable to do so because "Adobe CC is currently running this file." I've also changed my LAN settings and downloaded something else that was supposed to help me out but nothing seems to fix the problem.
I think you'll find that the official Adobe advice here is misguided. First, deleting bits of the program and program data is, as you've noted, perilous and often impossible. Shame on Adobe for doing such a poor job of coding that such steps are needed.
The solution I recommend is as follows:
Restart your Windows machine and boot in "Safe Mode" with networking using the F8 key just as Windows starts.
Go to the Control Panel and select Programs. Find and Uninstall "Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop".
Reinstall it by downloading it from the website https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
Restart your machine.
Only in "Safe Mode" are you likely to be able to accomplish these tasks reliably. -
I have an iphone 5s and it is synced to itunes and works fine. previously I have downloaded audiobooks to my wifes 6th gen nano using this account - now I tunes does not recognize the device and also it seems that it is not being read by the computer?
Hey Stan1958,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod nano and iTunes. Based on your symptoms, you may find the following resources helpful in resolving this issue:
Windows
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
Thanks,
Matt M. -

Why redeeming a code is so complicated? We need valid reason and explanation to get and satisfied on what we paid for. Be user-friendly to make it easy not messy.
I did that link you refer to me (manually and using camera). But still nothing happens, always prompted "not properly activated" or "invalid code". And i did follow the instructions how to send an issue/problems/case regarding itunes card code query.
My apology dude.
I did change country/region, itunes store country, apple id, but still prompting FAILURE "The Gift Certificate or Prepaid Card you entered has not been properly activated." Does it mean it needs to activate by Apple Inc. before i can use it? If that's the case, everytime i buy an itunes card, i need to go Apple Support? Is that so?
Please help me dude regarding this matter, i know you're well knowledgeable about apple systems.
Thanks in advance. -

when i try to download a file from the internet it starts to download but when its finished it opens up in the app "text edit" and it says this file cannot open in DOS mode.
Can anyone help?It sounds like perhaps the file doesn't have an extension that the system recognizes. Is this all files, or just one specific one, and if so, which? What is the name (and extension, if it has one) of the downloaded file? What kind of file do you *expect* it to be? (PDF, or whatever). Renaming a file with the appropriate extension can often fix that kind of problem.

Saying this program is not authorized. You need to uninstall it and reinstall. This is getting old. Any way to fix it?@

I recorded a slide show in Keynote 08 and exported it to a medium sized Quicktime movie. The file size is 5.5 MB
I then extracted the audio track and edited it in another app (Sound Edit) and saved it as AIFF. (4.8 MB)
I opened the AIFF in QT (7.6.4) selected all and added it to the QT movie. The file plays as it should and the sound is better but the file is now 39.7 MB.. How come adding 4.8 to 5.5 comes to 39.7? and what might I do about it?The decisions will depend upon your ultimate goal for the video. Are you doing this for a web page, for viewing on a projection screen, on a computer? What is the nature of the video (real life, animation?). Generally the goal is the best quality image and sound possible, but it s always a trade-off with file size (and bandwidth if putting on a web page). If you're making something for playing on an ipod then you don't need the same image size that might end up on a projection screen and can save a lot of size that way.
I can say for a start that AIFF is usually not the best choice for audio format if size is critical. AIFF is not compressed so it will take up roughly ten times the amount of space that a compressed format (MP3, AAC/MP4audio). If you started off with a compressed format and then convert to AIFF you will not regain what was lost when the sound was compressed.
I don't know all the Quicktime formats. I haven't actually made a Quicktime video in quite a while. I use other tools. My copy of "Quicktime Pro" is about 15 years old, although it still can access many of the codecs the new version can. -
At least once a month - sometimes much more frequently - I get calls from users asking why the file extension they "need" to upload to SharePoint is blocked.
Most recently, it was a Microsoft Access database that the user was attempting to upload to a document library. Before that, it was a shortcut link (*.url). And so on.
Is there a reference document which goes over the reasons why specific file types are blocked?
Thanks!Each blocked file format has it's own reasons for not being allowed to be stored on a SharePoint library.
Some of them are blocked because they would be processed by SharePoint Servers during the upload/download sequences, thus, possibly corrupting the system ( like dll files ). Others would cause Crawl to break ( url files ).
The Access database files are blocked for two valid reasons. First, because saving "live" to those files using Windows explorer window ( WebDAV ) doesn't work. Second because SharePoint product managers want us to use SharePoint lists instead.
And it does makes sense.
If you're in the middle of a migration from file servers to a SharePoint solution, your people could use these situations to stop and think about it for a little:
Really ? Now that we have SharePoint, couldn't we do things a little bit differently ? -
I needed to pull some video off a dvd. I used Toast and the file was 3.8 gig. When I exported the video to a DV quicktime file to open it with iMovie, it grew to a whopping 20 gig. Why is that? Should I convert the dv to a quicktime movie? Or do something else? Thanks. . . .Jim C
When you converted the video from the DVD to DV, the process involved creates a bigger file that has more "potential" quality. i.e. the DV format is higher quality than the compressed DVD data. Unfortunately you don't get to enjoy any of that potential quality. The data that gets converted is to DV is still the compressed DVD quality.
It's the inverse of taking a DV movie made in iMovie and creating a DVD. The massive iMovie file gets converted to much smaller, compressed and lower quality DVD data.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
David

Help Please!! my computer won't finish my update for my iphone and it says it needs to restore my iphone. I don't know why it is doing this? If I restore the phone with itunes it will wipe out all my media and contacts and I don't want to do that. But I can't use my phone it just shows a pic of a usb port plug in to a itunes note. Can anyone answer how I can get the iphone back to normal because I can't even use it.
Monday I ended up on the phone with Apple Support just to be sure I was doing the right thing and to check my back up info so I could be sure I didn't loose important data. They were very nice and helped me finish the process. When I told the tech that I couldn't download the new update and install from my iphone that is when I went to the computer and that's when I got this recovery mode thing on my phone. He told me there must have been a problem and that is why he thinks I couldn't down load it from the phone. I had to go to ITunes on my computer. Once we did the recovery we were able to check that I had a back up from the day before, so I didn't loose anything. He stayed with me til the process finished. I also found out I can prevent the auto sync for the future by setting the directions on that.
I am good now and my phone is operating fine, with the new update. Thank you all who commented back to me. -
Beg or borrow a WINDOWS 7 INSTALLATION DISK to recover Boot Entry/ies
Loads quicker than WIN 8 DVD and repairs (quick) whereas WIN 8 [PRO/RP/CP & 8.1 PRE]
never have in 18 months of tryouts (have multiboot installations)
Try it out, won't make things worse - Windows 7 Installation DVD@iceblue678
You certainly can, but if you're running Windows 8 or 8.1, you already have a DVD/USB
Installation device.
However, if something goes wrong, and Windows won't boot, the WINDOWS 7 DVD
could be your first port of call
It may avoid having to format (optional) and reinstall, thus losing your settings and Applications
AND Data
Don't really understand the point you're making just as you don't seem to understand the post
May have expressed it badly, for which apologies...
