This is a bit indirectly related, but I've noticed in a program of mine that if iTunes is loading new media, and, for whatever reason has a problem converting all of what it should be importing and crashes or locks, that many times, the very next time iTunes is opened that iTunes will give a message that the library is locked. Opening it a second time usually solves the problem. In this instance, it's not a problem with my code, merely iTunes not being able to handle being loaded with a large amount of media files, that are to be stored on a hard drive over wi-fi (I've reproduced it multiple ways). -- George Toledo gtole...@gmail.com www.georgetoledo.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
