I have an 600 MHZ Snow Ibook Running 9.2.2 and Panther. I copied a folder of all my saved mac commercials off of a CD i had burned a long time ago and didnt notice that the folder was "locked". Now its in my finder, and i want to throw it away "Delete" it. It will not let me! oh its in the finder in panther. any ideas on how to get rid of this pesky foldeR? I did go into the folder info and the lock checkbox is grey, i cant click it to unlock it.. :( Please E-mail me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] because i am in digest mode and it wouldnt be until tomorrow till i got an answer.
Jason, you'll need to make sure that the ownership for this folder is set to you. Open the terminal and do the following:
# cd /path/to/where/the/directory/is # ls -al
Check the third column. It should have your username as the "owner" of the folder. If not, type the following:
# sudo chown yourusernamehere:staff nameoffolder
enter your password at the prompt.
To get rid of the lock, type the following:
# sudo chflags nouchg,noschg nameof folder
If you have any questions you can email me directly.
