Not sure what you mean by a locked System Folder.  
If you changed the permissions for it, you may want to repair your permissions.

  • How do you unlock the Lock screen

    How can I unlock the lock screen on the iPad?

    You do realize, of course, that there is an extra charge for a iPadsicle?
    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

    how can i unlock county lock in my apple i phone?

    Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can
    unlock it. Contact them to see if they offer unlocking and if
    you qualify.
    Remember warranty is valid only in country of original purchase.

  • How do I unlock country lock?

    I just moved to South Korea and I have an iPhone 4S. My contract with Verizon has expired and I believe cancelled. Am I able to use my iphone? How do I unlock the country lock on the phone?
    Thanks!

    The sim card slot/GSM portion of your phone should not be locked.  From iPhone 4s upwards on the Verizon phone, the gsm portion of the phone should be unlocked out of the box so you should be able to use your phone with a local South Korean gsm carrier, just not cdma any longer.
    If it is not, then you'll need to contact Verizon directly to get them to unlock it.

  • How do i unlock all locked files in HD??

    i just got my machine back from the repair shop...and every file is locked and i cannot make modifications to anything..
    is there a setting i can use to turn off all locked files??
    thanks,

    As I pointed, and esp. with an SSD, leave the home library on t he boot drive works great.
    The sidebar can have whatever you want, maybe not the default pretty icon for the default folders, but folders, hdd etc that you drag onto the sidebar. Folders, not files.

    To successfully relocate your operating system, user accounts and data from one storage device to another, meet the following conditions: 
    The destination storage device (SSD drive or hard drive) you are migrating to should be physically located in the same computer.  Moving operating system files from one computer to another computer using software not specifically designed for that computer can cause issues due to software, hardware, and firmware version mismatches.
    Always back up your storage device with Time Machine or Disk Utility before you start.

  • How can i unlock(country lock) iphone?

    i used to belong in United States and also used iphone4 at at&t. i did not know the country lock before i flighted to foreign country. One of my friend asked me about the country lock i had to have country unlock if i using this iphone from U.S to other country. So my question is how to do country unlock ?

    You can't. Only the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it. AT&T will NOT do so under any circumstances.
    Sell it and buy one you can use.

  • How do I unlock a locked apple remotely?

    I lost my iPad and was finding its location through iCloud. I chose to lock it and I don't know if it's a coincidence, but now I can't locate it anymore.
    Thanks for your help!

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPad should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

    first of all, use a BAPI instead of BDC.. HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA
    you may have to do some up-front logic to determine which records to unlock, if necessary.
    EDIT: that is a FM, not BAPI.

  • Pls help on how to unlock the locked ipad2 wifi screen.

    I had my iPad2 wifi was locked the screen when my little boy tried to open by guessing passcode more than 3x... Need your help pls on how i can unlock the locked screen? I would appreciate your advise... Thank you.
    Gerry murillo

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

    How do I unlock the lock in System Preferences to make changes??  I can use my administrator password to open my Mac but this password is not accepted  when I want to change System Preferences.

  • Deleted previous system folder and!

    I ended up with a alias of "library" in the network panel. Of the Finder. When checking for "more info" on this. None shows up. Should I be worried about this. It doesn't seem to effect any of the operating system. I wonder why this happened?
    I had to install 10.4 twice. When it first came out. For some reason the first time had problem. And that's how I ended up with previous system folder. I tried erasing with the finders "secure erase" feature. And it was taking forever. I had to back out and erase normally.

    The library alias is just a bug that all of us are experiencing. It has been around for a while and no one knows if or when it will be fixed. It does no harm and if you remove it it will come back so just ignore it. You had it in there before but probably just didn't notice it.
