It would help if you would tell us in which context this is occurring.


== Error -54 ==

From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)


First, try simply restarting your computer.
