Re: [Avid-L2] media files locked

 

Went through the bins and unlocked all clips.  Not on shared storage.  Thanks for the ideas though.

OK - can you track them to the bins they actually live in? Maybe the bin where the clip originates is locked? Or maybe you can 'unlock bin item' from that bin? Sounds like you may have already tried it, so I go back to it being a permissions issue. If you're on shared storage, maybe you can get it done from another station or other user?

Well Im trying to delete from the media tool as I consolidated the shows and want to keep only those clips.  So using the media tool I can not delete.  If I go into the media folders I may be deleting media I need .  I can't drag to the trash from media tool and delete does not work.

You should be able to delete locked items in Mac OS by option-dragging them to the trash, and/or option-Empty-Trash. If you still can't, then it's at the OS level and it's likely thinking that these files are owned elsewhere or "open" (being written to or modified).

This is really frustrating.  I am tracking down these MXF files but they all have locks on the icons.  I get info, unlock and apply to enclosed items but the locks stay on the icons.   What the heck?   I need to delete media.  Why are the files locked?  I went into each bin and selected all and right clicked "unlock bin items"and no change. Any suggestions would really help.


thanks

Hi
Im trying to make space by deleting media files form a large project. But when select in media tool and try to delete I see "File 00321U00.MXF is locked. I hit OK and it all stops so I can't delete.

How do these files get locked and how do I get them unlocked. On Mac os 10.8.5.

thanks
Lou
