    Help!

    I am trying to backup my Aperture Library file to my external hard drive which is formatted to HFS. However, during the middle of the transfer it would display a message saying:

    "The Operation cannot be completed because the item "Aperture Library" is in use."

    The thing is, it's not in use. I tried a fresh restart then transfer this without any programs running.

    I am currently running the latest Leopard update.

    What is wrong? Please help!

    Try disk utility to verify/repair permissions etc, on both your local and external drives.

    In Aperture, perform a library check (not sure how exactly, perhaps hold down cmd/alt/both at startup like iPhoto?)

    Perhaps TimeMachine was backing up the file at the time?

    Hmmm....
