How to Unlock folder or trash locked folder?

How can I trash a 'Locked' folder? I've tried to unlock it, but it didn't work. The folder actually came from a PC or windows.
Mac OS 10.3.9
Power PC G5

Try holding down the option key while dragging to the trash.

  • 10.6.4:  how to unlock all files in a folder

    hi,
    how do you unlock all files inside a folder?
    thank you..

    thank you.. (I wonder why you can't just do it by getting info on the folder, then saying, unlock all files inside.. (u can do like that in windows) this is always more practical than having to select all files (and accidentally opening them, or something...-) in windows you can select a folder and then say, (un)lock all files and and dirs -- and subdirs and files inside -- inside this folder.. can u do something like this in mac os? if not, that's not very good.. (I guess on the mac would need to find unix commands for doing something like this..)
    they really need to consider this for future versions, this is a no-brainer...;-)
    thank you..

  • HOW TO UNLOCK A USB KEY (Locked by on a PC)

    The other day whilst in the local shopping mall, I received a USB key from the stand advertising the lastest XBOX stuff. I have this along with another 2 which I received in the course of work.
    Unfortunately, they are all locked. They do show up in Disk Utility, but I cannot partition, delete, restore etc.
    It seems a shame to throw them away, so was wondering if anyone could tell me how to unlock - and make them functional (for me) again.
    Thanks

    Oracle documentation on locking, transaction management and consistent read are excellent. Previous post already contains link to that.
    Some high level points (in the context o your questions).
    1. Oracle does not lock table (unless specifically requested via LOCK TABLE ...). Oracle locking is at row-level.
    2. In Oracle readers never block writers and writers never block readers.
    3. Reading "dirty data" is not required (nor possible) in Oracle.
    Why do you want to read "dirty data"? What problem are you trying to address?

  • How can I change ownership on locked folder? (error 120)

    I had to create a new user after my previous (file vault) sparse image became corrupt. Fortunately I had backup and I'm getting things back to normal with a new user name.
    But several of the folders and files on my secondary internal drive are now locked as read only. The owner is the old name (of the corrupted user folder).
    How can I unlock the folders to change ownership and permissions to my current user name? I am logged in as an administrator. Whenever I try I get an error code 120.
    G5 dual 1.8   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Solved it. Checked the "ignore ownership" box on the secondary drive and I can unlock the folders. Works for now.

  • How to unlock a Flash Exposure Lock?

    My 5D Mark II is set in Manual Mode with an attached Speedlite (580EX II).  I've set the manual settings to 1/400-F8 for an outdoor portrait.  When I depress the shutter release the settings switch to 1/200-F8 and record the image. Overexposed. 
    If I fire off 6-8 images, the camera will record 4 or 5 images at 1/200-F8, then it will record 2-4 images at 1/400-F8.
    I have already examined every menu function and tried (unsuccessfully) to reset the camera's settings.
    Does anyone have any explanation that could help me solve this issue.
    Thank you,
    Jim

    1/200th is the camera's max "flash sync" speed. You can't take an exposure faster UNLESS you enable high-speed sync ,ode on your 580 Speedlite. Keep in mind that high speed sync causes the flash to pulse light rapidly as the shutter sweeps across the sensor. That means the flash can't fire at full power because it needs to conserve enough power in the capacitors to be able to use the required number of pulses. E.g. If it has to pulse 4 times than no single pulse can use more than 1/4 of the power. You can cluster multiple speedlights to get around that problem.

  • I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them

    I recently thought I was updating my Safari browser. When completed, I put all those little files that were on the desktop into the trash. Now my trash is saying it can't be emptied because there are locked files and I don't know how to unlock them or get them out of my trash and they keep multiplying. And to make matters worse, I tried renaming them as pdf files thinking that might do the trick.

    oh boy ! I'd ask you if you knew what kind of files they were or where they came from, but I don't think you could help me a bunch. Try going to the Utilities folder and running Disk Utilities.  If you want to empty the Trash and it won't empty, go to the finder and choose "secure Empty trash". Worse case scenario-you may have to reinstall Snow Leopard, but I don't know what else to suggest. If you have a DVD of Snow Leopard, boot up from that,  and reinstall the OS. This will not touch the stuff you have on your Hard Drive, then you can update from 10.6 to 10.6.8, otherwise Onyx? Maybe those files are part of the OS which needs them to keep running.  if you hold down the Shift key on reboot, you can reboot in Safe mode and maybe you can take the files out of the trash that way
    good luck

  • I don't have a locked folder to unlock it

    Hello,
    My ipod classic 3 generation this morning was on lock, which it has never been since I got it. So I went online and found a way to unlock it. But unfortunately the only way to unlock it is to have a "locked" folder on my ipod which I do not have. How am I suppose to unlock it when the only way to is not there? Please help!!

    I have restored my ipod and tried to restart it, but that doesn't seem to work either.
    I saw online that you are to make your hidden files known and than you delete the locked folder and than my ipod should unlock, is it a lost cause to get it or do I need to get another ipod?

  • For some reason, I cannot change my desktop background no matter how many times I delete the "active" folder.  It's as if it's locked.  Any ideas how I can fix it?

    Yes it sounds like you have a corrupted preference file.
    The setting you make in individual programs get saved to a Preference file in your Users/Library/Preferences folder.
    All you have to do is drag out the old file to the desktop, reboot and load the program and the preference file gets rebuilt without your preferences which you reset.
    For your case I beleive the preference file is
    com.apple.desktop.plist
