  • Deactivate-File being used by another task

    Posted by Gtchisholm on December 4, 2006 at 9:32 pm

    I downloaded a Quicktime mp4 file When I try to place it in a folder, I get a message”Cannot move, copy or delete because file is currently in use” or something like that. My system is OSX v10.25. In the past I’ve always been able to hold down option key to deactivate, but this doesn’t work. I disconnected the internet and it still says the file is “being used by another function”. Do I have to trash my Quicktime application?
    Thanx-GT
