How do you get rid of a locked .apvault sitting on an OS10.3.9 iMac?

My vault is on an external drive.
Thinking that I should backup the vault, I transferred a copy to my iMac running 10.3.9.
The folder is now locked and won't let me get rid of it.
When I select "Get Info", the "Locked" check box is greyed out.
Any solution?
Thanks.

iMac G5 1.8 GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   PB 15" running Mac OS X (10.4.8), 1.33GHz, 1.5 GB RAM

When I select "Get Info", the "Locked" check box is
greyed out.
Any solution?
Further down in the 'Get Info' dialog, is the 'Ownership and Permissions' section also greyed out? If not, then try changing the permissions there.
If that doesn't work, you can use the Terminal app and Unix to set the permissions recursively throught the Aperture library. If you need to do that, I'll tell you how.

  • What is the lock symbol and circular arrow on the top of my iPad and how do you get rid of it?

    My iPad has this lock sy,boll on the top of it and now I can't go into portrait mode(I'm stuck in landscape). How do you get rid of it?!?! Please help!

    Lock symbol is rotation lock : depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can lock rotation either by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • How do you get rid of master password promt box?

    How do you get rid of the master password prompt box without getting rid of using the master passwords feature? I like that my passwords are locked so no one can see them but I get annoyed when I have to type my master password in every time I open up a web page. Would like to only type in master password when I want to view my saved passwords. Does any one know how to remove the annoying box?

    Sorry, that isn't the only purpose of the Master Password feature, "locking" your Saved Password dialog from being viewed.

  • How do you get rid of yellow triangular with ! in middle that appear against some of my bookmarks on my bookmark toolbar?

    I have yellow triangles next to some of my icons in my bookmarks and bookmark toolbar. They have an exclamation mafrk in them. It probably happens when there is difficulty connecting to them. But they hang around. How do you get rid of them even when the bookmark works fine? I have FF 4.0 on a Snow Leopard Mac.

    This issue can be caused by a plugin or an extension that is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 and isn't working properly anymore.
    A toolbar like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue.

  • How do you get rid of 'empty' pre-roll time in logic pro 9?

    how do you get rid of the pre-roll time in logic pro 9?  
    My project's start time is 8-bars before any material, or tempos, or anything...  
    Can't move the start time back to ")" (zero)    STUCK!!  at -8
    The song now has 20 seconds of dead air time in a pre-roll.
    None of these worked or revealed anything...
    -tried making a new copy of song
    -looked into every track's file information looking for a spurious entry
    -tried deleting the time/space

    Hi
    Check for any Track Automation nodes in the "preroll'.

    Edit
    You should note that generally negative (or zero) project start numbers should be avoided at all cost: there are many peculiar behaviour problems associated with them.

  • HT5622 How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account no longer exists?

    How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account it's tied to no longer exists?

    The password will not be sent to you, because Apple does not know it. They will send a link where you can reset the password. It will be sent to your Rescue email address, not the iCloud email address. If you don't have one contact Apple Account Security and they can reset it for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • I added a program but somnehow ended up with "searchqu" as my search engine, how do you get rid of it?

    I added a program that somehow put the search engine "searchqu" on my computer. How do you get rid of it? I looked up in the web engines and it is not listed. A blog board I read says it is coming through google chrome that it has to be uninstalled... any ideas?

    Searchqu gets installed if you don't opt-out of the installation when you install a 'free' app from bandoo.com which provides free emoticons.
    If you have this app on your system now, uninstall it first, otherwise searchqu will reappear again after you complete the following steps.<br><br>
    To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.<br><br>
    #In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.<br><br>
    #In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''<br><br>
    #Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=<br><br>
    #In the filter at the top again, copy/paste the following (remove keyword.URL first): '''browser.startup.homepage'''<br><br>
    #Right click it, choose '''Modify '''and then click '''Reset'''.<br><br>
    #Close the tab.<br><br>
    #Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and remove these add-ons if they're in there: '''Windows iLivid Toolbar '''and '''SearchquToolbar '''.<br><br>
    #Next, open Windows Explorer and navigate to '''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins'''. In there, delete the following: '''SearchquWebSearch.xml'''<br><br>
    #Go to Add/Remove Programs and look for '''Windows iLivid Toolbar '''and '''SearchquToolbar '''again. Remove if found. You might possibly find a reference to "Web Search" (searchqu) in Add/Remove Programs too. If so, remove it.<br>
    The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
    Next, open a Command Prompt (Run As Administrator) and type the following: '''regsvr32 /u searchqudtx.dll''' and hit Enter. If you get an error message, you'll have to enter the full path. Do a Windows search for '''WI3C8A '''and then right click it and choose Open Containing Folder, or Open File Location. Then make a note of the full path.
    '''To reset your home page, do the following'''.<br><br>
    * Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.<br><br>
    * Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.<br><br>
    * Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.<br><br>
    * Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.<br>
