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).

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

Which OS are you using, and which version of Java?
If possible, please send me the crash log.

Best regards,
Oli
