How to edit a "locked" file

Hey all,
        I recently edited a resume on a friends Mac computer and sent a copy to myself to my email. When I received the file, it was locked. Might be a pretty simple question, but how do i unlock the file and continue to edit the copy on my computer? I'm using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 at the moment if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

Select it in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and uncheck the Locked checkbox.

    What program are you using?  If it is just Adobe Reader you can not edit.

  • How to edit the nbu file when the mobile device is...

    How to edit the nbu file when the mobile device is not connected?
    That software that is available in the nokia site “nokia phone browser” is not useful! Why?
    It is not working unless the mobile device is connected (attached)
    It is quite slow when editing the contacts! (attached)
    Then why the nokia doesn’t offer a simple software that enable us to edit and explore the content of our nbu files?
    Is there some workaround in this regard?
    Is there some software the can edit the nbu files?
    Thank you for the help,
    Best

  • How to edit move rename files in iTunes

    how to edit move rename files in itunes

    I don't like iTunes.
    I don't want iTunes to keep the physical location of my files because they can be on a SD card, or an USB drive and i don't want iTunes to stop me from playing a song because it cannot find it anymore.
    So i would like to use physical files just to upload to iTunes Match and then delete the link to the physical file.
    If needed, iTunes Match will download the file.
    The problem is just that i would like to delete all references to physical files to make iTunes Match download the file only when needed and stop using the first version i had given to it
    maybe i could have a Apple Script to check if there is a physical file referenced and if so delete it to have only the Cloud version     

  • How to Edit a flash file

    Hi all,
    I have a flash file, which I took from my website and want to
    modify some of the contents and links in the flash file. I
    installed "Macromedia Flash 8" and open the flash file; after
    opening all I can see in the menu bar of my flash is "File, View,
    Debug and Control" and could not find any control or tool to edit
    the file and surprisingly rest of the other macromedia toolbar
    icons are disabled. I need to know from where to start - How to
    modify my flash file.
    Your help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    I think you need to check out some of the books, online
    tutorials, course etc pertaining to Flash. Build up your knowledge
    a little at a time and you will surprise yourself at what you can
    achieve, you would also probaby build your own web apps and not
    rely on templates.
    There are many good folk on here that would help you with

  • How to edit a shared file on my Mac?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to edit a shared file on my Mac?
    I know it is possible on the web, using Numbers/Pages/Keynote for iCloud Beta. But I was wondering if it is also possible to download and edit the file.
    I think it is also important that the file automatically updates himself when edited on the Mac, so the other user could see my changes.
    So I don't have to download the file --> edit it --> upload the file.
    Hopefully there is a solution for this problem, otherwise I'm hoping this will come in the near-future!
    Kind regards,
    Berend

    How do I use a flash drive on my mac
    Since most flash drives are formatted for PC's rather than Macs, if you plan to use it only with a Mac, when it's plugged in, you can click on it in Disk Utility and partition it GUID and Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Note that if you've already got files stored on it, partitioning it will erase them.

  • How to edit a jar file ?

    Using JDeveloper 11.1.1.0 and it will not allow me to edit a jar file.
    Steps
    File -> Open and select a jar file
    Double Click on MANIFEST.MF
    The status bar displays "Read Only" and "Windows: CR/LF Editing"
    All versioning has been turned off.
    How do I get out of "Read Only" mode and be able to edit anything in the file ?????
    Thank you

    Come on, you can't be seriously try to edit a class file in side a jar.
    One of the reasons they are in a jar is that users don't fiddle around with them. If you have to manipulate the manifest you can do so in the deployment descriptor of the application in JDEV.
    If you are looking for something special in the jar there are a couple of explorer plug ins which allow you to do so (at your own risk).

  • How to edit an XML file?

    Guys, I have a podcast in iTunes, I want to start to promote it. In order to do this, I think I will have to put tags in the XML file for different sites and I would like to know how to edit this. Does anyone have any good places for me to check out how to do this?
    Thanks!

    Vinnie, thanks for getting back to me on this, I am pulling my hair out!
    What FAQ are you speaking of? The one in iTunes or someplace on this board?
    By claim, what I mean is this. Lets say I try to add my podcast to Podcast Alley's directory. If I copy and paste my RSS feed in there, it says that it needs me to add their "tag" or whatever in my RSS so they know it is my podcast. They need me to add this line in the XML file I think to "claim" my podcast so it will show up in their directory. This seems to be a common thing with other sites as they give me some XML code to add to my RSS also.
    Make sense at all?

  • How do I trash  locked  files I down loaded  onto my mac, fom my old PC

    from the external hard drive I had my
    old pc backed up on , and tried to throw a lot of it away on my mac, but there are quite a few locked files that will simply not go away , and even if i drag it of the desk top so I dont have to look at it , one copy remains behind, how do I trash these locked windows files , actualy I fell asleep backing the PC up and copied the entire operating system onto this external Hard drive , and I am sur they were never meant to be trashed , so how can I get rid of them?

    Hi Jkevin, When you do Apple+I get info on one of these files, does it give you any info about being locked? Have you tried opening the terminal Applications>Utilities and typing sudo rm (and drag the offending file here) and then hit return, enter your password.
    Cheers

  • How to edit a pdf file?

    I downloaded the free Adobe and i want to edit a pdf file and it wont allow me. asking me to subscribe.

    You want to go to the source program you first edited and authored the file in and create a fresh new PDF from that file. You should always save a current copy of the program file which you authored the PDF file in. Acrobat is not really intended for creating content as such. You can do quick edits in Acrobat by setting up the Touch-up preferences, Preferences>General>Touch up, These should point to the programs you use to edit PDF content, in my case the Object editor is Illustrator and Image editor is Photoshop. Now if you select the touch up object tool and the click on the object(s) you want to edit selecting them, then right click to get the contextual menu and select, Edit Object, Acrobat will create a temp file and open it in the program which you selected in preferences. Do the edit and close the temp file, Acrobat uses the temp file to update the open Acrobat PDF file you were working on.
    Hope this helps

  • How can I find locked files

    Is there a way to search for locked files on a Mac?

    Try the Hidden Files Widget for Dashboard. So you have on Dashboard a button to show or hide your files.
    Tested by me on Snow Leopard and Lion.

  • How to Edit a PDF File in Adobe Reader

    I used to create PDF files from the blog [link removed] But i would like to delete the links in the sidebar and other un wanted content from the PDF file but i cant do it in Adobe Reader. How can i delete it. Is there any option.
    Do i have to install any seperate software to edit pdf files.

    Acrobat can do very limited editing, but it is best to avoid this by not making a PDF of stuff you don't want.
    For example, use an HTML editor first.
