Lock-UnMatic

Lock-UnMaticSometimes, files on the Mac cannot be deleted, moved or renamed. This can be caused by insufficient access rights, or because some processes are still using these files.

Unfortunately, the Mac OS X Finder doesn't tell the user which processes exactly are causing the lock. Also, these processes are often running hidden in the background - so they can't even be quit using the Dock.

Here, Lock-UnMatic comes into play. Simply drag and drop the affected files onto the application-icon (or into the application-window), and Lock-UnMatic shows you a nice overview of all blocking processes. It's also possible to kill these processes from within the application.

Lock-UnMatic is freeware and provided under the LGPL. The latest binary version can be downloaded in the Downloads-section, as well as the sourcecode. The application is multilingual (English and German).

Hi! Soft seems is nice, but I cnt still work with him fully because He say your computer need be 64 bit! But I have maybe 32bit? MacBook White, Intel Core duo, 2.1 GHz. Maybe I did something wrong?

Hello Olgert,

as of Lock-UnMatic 1.2, the admin-mode does indeed require a 64bit Intel Mac to work. But all other features should work just fine on 32bit machines.

Best regards,
Oli
