[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1558439, member: 284358"] I tried to hunt for this on google, but nothing came up. I even rebooted twice, no dice.. I have some downloaded youtube videos in my Movie folder I was wanting to put on my NAS. But for some strange reason I can't move them. It keeps giving me a error dialog box claiming the files are in use, even after rebooting a number of times and not running any other programs with the exception of finder in which I have no choice to run.. LOL.. Now keep in mind I moved some other video files from my Frostware Torrent Data folder without any issues. So its something with the Movies folder, or something that keeps looking the movies folder. However, nothing should be as I tried rebooting twice without opening anything. I can add more files, but can not move or copy and paste them to another folder on my NAS. I haven't tried to see if I can C&P them to another folder on my system drive, but not sure that will help either. Any ideas or suggestions.. [/QUOTE]
