My computer shows a file that I am trying to remove is opened or used by another user. How it traces and shut up so I can remove it?
XP w / Svc Pack3, all updates. I .jpg I have one trying to delete, but the system tells me it is open or in use by another user. I closed everything I can find. There are NO other users on this system. I tried to reboot the system...
How can I find out where it is 'open' or ' in - use ' so that I can close and delete the file? Is there another way to force the machine to remove the file?
Boot into safe mode and see if it will remove. Alternatively, you can drag to the C drive and see if it will remove it from there. If still no joy, try this tool.

Why filtering by "unused" shows the files that are used in the project?
Above the list of clips, I choose 'unused '. I thought that this would be a practical way to show me the files I can delete the library because they are not used. The thing is, I select this option, I see it shows me files that are certainly in use on the timeline, then what's the point of this? How can I show actually files that are not used and as long as I can safely remove?
It shows the unused portions of clips. If you want to remove a clip that has any items used in a project, you're better activation of the clipping indicator used. Any clip with an orange bar has been used.

What this means if I want to 'Run or save' a file that I am trying to download?
What this means if I want to 'Run or save' a file that I am trying to download?
Refers to run the file (it's probably an exe file or similar, which runs a program). Record means to save the file, and you can click it to run it later. It is always better to first save the file (in a place, you can find easily) and then he search for potential viruses first before running. Make sure you know what you click on and download, because things will immediately infect your computer - often to the point of making it unusable.

How to access the tab 'Save all' when I close several jpeg files that have been adjusted with the "color adjust tool? He is currently making me close and save one at a time. I've just upgraded to El Capitan. Thanks for any help :)
I assume that you use the application overview.
I can't find an answer to back up everything, but a workaround could be while the file menu options are visible, press the option key
and the point of the window will become close, if you click on that dialogue will ask you if you want to restore the changes or save
pressing Save will close the image with the changes and then move to the next image and so on.

File marked 'used by another user' stay even if I close them
Hello world
I have a problem with a server.When I open the files on a server and close the file if I try to reopen the file got the ' used by another user you want to open it as read-only "message. But the other user was me a FEW SECONDS AGO. Can someone tell me why the server does not know that I closed the file correctly.Even worse, I saw a message like this:"Could not open the file because [my username] has its opening" and I properly closed it a few minutes ago.Otherwise, the server failed to realize that the same user has tried to open a file, it closed before.What could be the causes of this?Hi DjVintage,
I had this problem exact opening and closing of files shared using the word or Excel Web App associated with this account. Worse still, I started to receive messages from people that I was "hogging" the files when I thought that I had been inside a few minutes each time.
There may be other solutions, and this may or may not work in your situation (where the situation of the network was not clear to me), but here's how I solved the problem.
I discovered that "Closure" was not enough. I had to completely "Exit" the application (or this instance of it) for the server to recognize that I made and my 'hold' on the output file.
As I said, I think there may be a simpler way, and it may have something to do with the way in which sharing is established and how the permissions are established (and perhaps even my own other than the server settings), but Exiting is typically what I intended to do anyway in these situations of network (where I used separate proceedings and not an instance with multiple documents to) inside), so he has not only worked but was in fact a solution better and faster. BTW, the system is not likely to tell you the preliminary display/use of a network file unless you have permissions significant network beyond those applicable to your PC or even on behalf of network - think it's a security feature.
Give it a try and if it works and you're OK with it - we're done.
If the problem persists (I doubt that) or if you're not OK with it (Please explain why exactly it you have a problem or how you use network files in a single instance of the application - and why it's necessary), post it please come back with more information about the configurations involved network and how you connect, the operating systems and versions of the programs involved and everything that you think might help.
I hope this helps!
Good luck!

Finder shows the files that do not exist.
Hi all
I have a problem with what appears to be broken aliases, but the type of file is an HTML document. I've been manually change a legacy site, using an app called "SightSucker" to download the site locally if I can do a search depth of terms and expressions which are no longer acceptable by my industry.
After the work was done, I deleted the site locally, he seems to have left about 1500 small files (many repetitions of the same name).
These files appear only in my finder under "My files", but nowhere else.
When I 'Get info' is not the file "where:" information, it is just missing. Also, under sharing and permissions, it said "you have unknown access."
I tried the things:
- Restarted my Mac (I know this is a standard windows fix, but I thought I'd give it a try).
- Remove cmd - does nothing
- Trail of trash-trash is transformed into icon to disassemble but eventually does nothing, it is not also actually slide.
- Copy/paste point creates error "update on the Clipboard cannot be pasted at this location. One or more of the items may have been deleted or are no longer available.
- Double-click created error ' alias '[file name]' could not open the original item cannot be found "-gives the following options:
- Delete aliases - does nothing
- Difficulty Alias--gives the finder dialog box "select new original. I created a dummy file to link to, but got the error "could not complete the operation. An unexpected error occurred (error code - 43)".
- Permissions are unknown I have tried repairing permissions. I had to do it manually with "sudo/usr/libexec/repair_packages - repair - standard-pkgs - volume / ' in the Terminal application, you cannot do this with disk utility in OS X El Capitan. Whatever it is, it was not to fix anything.
- EasyFind (the one with the squirrel icon) to find files. EasyFind could not find them.
- Use the command find Terminal, which also could not find them.
This leads me to think that maybe these files do not exist in reality and the real problem is "Finder".
If anyone has any ideas on what I am at a bit of a loss.
Thank you very much.
Al.
