How can I find all locked layers (visible or not) and then Unlock All at once?

OK, for anyone who cares here's the scenario.
I was on a tight deadline. I got a massively layered, -- nested folders everything --  .psd
I'm using Photoshop CS 5.5
I only needed the visible layers.  So, I go to "Delete Hidden Layers" right? Ooops it was grayed out, I could not use it -- Ahhh that was because of the locked layers...
No problem. Ugh wait.
Then I realized -- in the complicated layer structure I had to go through every single folder, open it, look for a locked layer and unlock it (nested folders inside of nested folders etc.). If the layer was not visible and it was locked, I had to first turn it to visible, then unlock it, and then turn it off again.
Aaaarrggghhh I was on a deadline, and I just didn't have time -- but I had to do it anyway.
This was a painful experience... I'm telling designers from now on NEVER SEND ME A PSD WITH LOCKED LAYERS AGAIN
It would have been so much easier if I could just search for "locked layers", and "unlock all."
Does anyone know of a solution? Probably something I should have known years ago, or maybe a feature request?
Thanks!!!
:B

This feature is now available in Photoshop CS6. Layers panel has a layer filter option that simplifies the workflow and is designers dream come true! Please see screenshots below:

  • It appears "save as" was removed in the creation of Yosemite.  How can I save a spreadsheet as a new document and then change all the data

    To address the first part of your response; as unnecessary as it was; save as has not been gone for years!!  It is predicated on the operating system in play on ones computer.  The software that I was using as recent as six months ago had a "Save as" option in the menu bar.  Further, as you may have noted in "babowa's response it is clear that it still exists to this day in apple's most recent software "Yosemite 10.10.2.  This appears to be true whether talking about numbers or pages (apps.)  Oh, and by the way I am employing the most recent versions offered by Apple!  Your car may be five years old but I am sure you still find it very useful.  Case and point; it's not gone!!!

  • How can I search the stage for a given Movieclip and then add all instances of it to an Array? AS3

    I would like to Add multible instances of one Movieclip, (Library Name = Bats | instance name = none), inside of another Movieclip (instance name = back.visuals) // (By HAND) NOT by addChild(mc_name); // Easy
    If anyone could help me out with code to do the next steps:
    Search the Movieclip, (instance name = back.visuals), that contains the Movieclips, (Library Name = Bats | instance name = none), manually added to the stage by hand.
    Then for all instances of this movieclip (Library Name = Bats | instance name = none) add them to an Array.
    Thank You,
    Dyami

    I think we are having some missed communication. I do not wish to Change Flash's IDE or deveolp new features for flash. I was wondering if there was a way to do my question with AS3. something along the lines of :
    var enemyList:Array = new Array;
    for (var index:int = 0;index < back.visuals.numChildren;index++)
        var wall:MovieClip = back.visuals.getChildAt(index) as MovieClip;
    /* Check to see if wall is of a Specfic MovieClip */
    /* if (Above is True){ enemyList.push(wall) };

  • How can I set screen saver clock which show time and date when all screen is black. Other phones have this option but I didn't find on iphone. Pl guide.

    How can I set screen saver clock which show time and date when all screen is black. Other phones have this option but I didn't find on iphone. Pl guide.

    HA!  I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars".  So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account.  Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone.  Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone.  Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE.  I made my own day!
    I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

  • My Ipad and macbookair have been stolen. How can I find the imei code of both devices considering that were all registered on icloud?

    My Ipad and macbookair have been stolen. How can I find the imei code of both devices considering that were all registered on icloud?

    Unless you have configured iCloud on the MacBook Air and made sure that Find My Mac was turned on, you can't track that.  And even if you did do that, that is not a foolproof method of tracking, as it relies on the thief connecting to the internet using the guest account on the machine and not getting in to your account and disabling Find My Mac or wiping the hard drive and installing a clean system.
    As for the iPad, similar rules apply there.  If it is a wifi-only iPad, it cannot be tracked any other way.  If it has 3G, your wireless carrier may be able to help you track it.

  • As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

    As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

    Apps and many other purchases are tied to the iTunes Store account via which they were purchased. So if you buy the app, that app is tied to your iTunes Store account. Without that account information, the child could not update the app nor back it up.
    I'd also suggest giving the child an iTunes gift card or gift certificate along with the iPod. If the child is too young to have and manage his or her own iTunes Store account, then his or her parent could set up an iTunes Store account to purchase the apps. That could be done with that gift card and not need a credit card. You can also gift specific apps, though again that would require the child or a parent to open an iTunes Store account through which to redeem the gift. For more information on gift options, see:

  • How can I find music in iTunes media folder not included in my library

    How can I find the items that are in iTunes music media file but are not currently in my library?  There is 7.5G and 1623 items in the music media file but only 5.95G and 1280 items in my library.  If I try add the media file to my library it duplicates. So how to find which files are missing from the library and only add those to my library?

    Try using a software that its designed to find duplicates, such like these: http://www.howtogeek.com/201007/how-to-find-and-remove-duplicate-files-on-mac-os -x/

  • My sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile., my sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile.

    My sister sync all my contact to her phone with my apple id and then delete all of them how can i restore all my contact?

    It sounds like she deleted them all from your icloud account. If you have an iTunes backup, try this to possible recover your deleted contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4108
    If that doesn't work, you might be stuck as Apple doesn't usually have a backup plan for intentional user deletion. You can try to call Apple though and see if there is anything else they can do to try and recover that deleted info for you.
    Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with.

  • How can I find out what is on my macbook and not on my other macs that results in continual downloads from the satelite dish and resulting overcharges?

    How can I find out what is on my macbook  that results in continual usage and usage charges from the satelite dish when turned on, even in the middle of the night- which doesn't happen with my other macs?

    I have BusyCal installed, but no alarms that I could find.
    However, I do think I've found the source of the sound: the Firefox add-on "LiveJournal." It routinely checks my LJ and plays a "ding.wav" file whenever there are new posts to my Friends' page. I noticed that the sound started happening more frequently, but after I closed Firefox, it stopped. But since Firefox didn't have any sound/notification settings on its own, I thought to check the extensions, and voila!
    I'm pretty sure the problem is solved, but who knows if the sound will mysteriously return...

    how can I delete plug-ins that I do not use anymore?

    Uninstall them by deleting them from the Library:
    The plug-ins usually are installed in the Applications Support Folder -> Aperture -> Plug-Ins, either in your your User Library or in the System Library:
    your home folder/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/

  • How can I find the yahoo toolbar which contains "identity safe" which contains all of my passwords?

    I can't find the yahoo toolbar which included identity safe, where all my automatic passwords were located.

    While Finder is active, press Command-F (Find in the File menu).
    In that window you can set search criteria. In the second sub-toolbar should be a couple of buttons representing pulldown menus; by default, the first usually shows "kind". Click that one.
    In the menu that opens, if "Size" or "File Size" is not available, select "Other". Then in the new window select "Size" or "File Size" and okay the window. From then on that choice will be available in the first pulldown menu.
    You can use that to search your drive.
    Note - by clicking the "+" button at the far right of the strip containing the pulldown menus, you can add additional search criteria, thus restricting a search to exactly what you want.
