I accidentally locked my desktop folders , unable to open them Ho two unlock the folders

You have done something which change the permissions and your user is not able to access anymore. You can play around and try to correct permissions manually by going to your home folder, right click on the Desktop folder and choose get info and when new window will be open, at the bottom of it, check if your username is listed and if has Read & Write permissions.
Other option is to boot to recovery mode (after starting up your computer press and hold CMD+R), then from top panel click on Utilities and choose Terminal. Once terminal is open, type in it resetpassword and when new window will be open, select Macintosh HD as your system drive, select your password and click on the RESET button which is next to "Reset home folder permissions and ACL". NOTE: do not reset your password, you don't have to.
Second options would be better in case if permissions on other folders been changed too.

    Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel.  The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files.  The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

  • Recently I have been unable to access our Comcast Xfinity E-mail application in Firefox. It opens but is "frozen" so that I am unable to open e-mail messages or the full inbox.

    I have been using Firefox instead of MS Explorer to access our Comcast E-mail account on my Lenova laptop for several months.
    Firefox was loaded onto my Lenova Laptop during mid-2011.
    I continued to primarily use MS Explorer as my search engine while accessing our Comcast e-mail account until the latter part of 2011. At that time I was urged to try Firefox when I seemed to have slow processing speed in Explorer.
    It worked great, and I was very pleased with the processing speed while using my e-mail application (seemed much faster than MS Explorer).
    A couple weeks ago I first discovered I could not open any of the listed e-mails in the Comcast Inbox, nor am I able to expand to a full view of the inbox instead of the summary view of only the few latest new message titles. New incoming e-mails appear in the listing, but I am unable to open them from my laptop.
    I have no problem with our Comcast E-mail application while using MS Explorer on my laptop (except for slower processing speed).
    We also can access all Comcast e-mail functions from our Dell desktop in both Firefox and Explorer; therefore the cause of the problem doesn't appear to be Comcast.
    Any suggestions on what caused this problem and how to fix it? Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • My .jpg's have ALL suddenly been converted to .pdf's and I am unable to open them

    Using Windows 8.1, when I went to view some jpg's earlier today, I found they now show as "Adobe Acrobat Documents." When I try to open one, I get the error message that they are jpg's and Adobe is unable to open a jpg.???

    And it was easy -- once I went to "Properties" in Windows Explorer. That was the tough part -- finding where to make the change.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.

    Hi,
    I am in big problem. I had deployed a web application on IIS 7.0 which have windows server 2008 r2 installed. We have some reports in web application. Everything is working fine in web application except when I export content feom SSRS reports to PDF or CSV
    format then I am getting following message
        Unable to open this Internet site.  The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.  Please try again later.
    This message comes only on IE8 as I had installed Mozilla but that issue is not coming on Mozilla. I don't why this issue is coming and how to solve this issue. I had gone with every possible results which I found in google but noting seems to be helpful. Please
    help me as it's urgent and I am deploying on production server.
    Thanks...

    Hi Awadhendra,
    This error usually occurs if IE is configured with the "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" advanced options setting or the server is using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and has added one or both of the following HTTP headers to the response message:
    e.g: Response.AddHeader "Cache-control: no-cache" or “Cache-control: no-store”.
    To solve this issue, please try to cancel the “Do not save encrypted pages to disk” option in the advanced internet options or setting the “BypassSSLNoCache” registry. For more details, please refer to
    KB323308 .

    I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

    In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
    Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
    Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
    thx for any input

    After updating silverlight, i'm unable to open any pdf files in the system

    According to your User Agent you posted this question using Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1. Are you having a problem with Firefox? What Firefox version?
    You said you are having a problem opening PDF files on your system. Can you explain that better? Mozilla Support can help you with opening PDF files in Firefox, which uses a built-in PDF reader. Maybe one of these articles will help?

  • Pages is sending my documents in docx format, but windows unable to open them. They arrive blank or can only be read as a single line at a time. When view prior to sending the document is divided with black lines after each sentence.

    Pages is sending my documents in docx format, but windows unable to open them. They arrive blank or can only be read as a single line at a time. When viewed prior to sending, the document is divided with black lines after each sentence.

    Windows will only be able to open these if you have Word 2007+. Older versions of Word, for example Word 2003 would require a compatibility pack.
    Perhaps you can try 'Saving As' a different file type instead?

  • I am unable to open my iphotos have tried the command,option hold down thing and nothing can open my photo libary but no the iphonts, can't get photos off my camera or iphone onto my mac.?

    I am unable to open my iphoto, have tried the command, option hold down, nothing, can't get my photos off my camera or my iphone, but i used to be able to?

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app(s) in your purchase history. If there's a button markedACCEPT on the right, click it.
    Step 2
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 3
    From the App Store menu bar, select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
    Step 4
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 5
    Delete the app(s) you want to update and reinstall them.

    Not sure, but MacKeeper is trash and could be the source of it, among any other problems you may be having.  I suggest you uninstall it immediatley: http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/

  • I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS7 and I am unable to open iTunes on my phone - the screen just never loads.

    I installed iOS7 on my iPhone5 and now I am unable to open iTunes - the screen just stays blank.
    I have checked date and time and wifi settings.
    Not sure what else to do.
    I do have iMatch active on my device and its working fine on my other iPohne with iOS7 installed.
    Any help please!

    Have you tried logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in ? If it's still the same after that then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • Unable to open CS3 Files from within the application

    Good Afternoon
    I work as IT Support for company looking after 10 ADOBE Creative Suite 3 end-users.
    One of my colleagues is unable to open Illustrator or Photoshop files from within their respective applications, but she is able to open them from outside ok.
    I have reinstalled ADOBE CS3 and this appeared to resolve the issue, only for it to return again a day later.
    She has no other applications or processes running during her attempt to open a file from within CS3.
    She will click on Open and the 'Open File' window will flash up for a split second, then the whole application will be frozen. It is as if the 'Open File' window is there, but isnt there because we cant click on it, but the application thinks it is displaying and so she can not click on anything else. The only way to close the application is to end the process under Task Manager.
    While I am sitting here tearing what little amount of hair I have on my head, can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Is this a Windows problem or an ADOBE problem do you think?
    I look forward to any replies.
    Thank you

    Hi Bob
    Ok...
    Opened illustrator but was unable to open the 'Open File' window.
    Changed the screen resolution, it suddenly worked!
    Changed the screen resolution back to as it was before, it also worked.
    What could cause this do you think?
    By simply changing the screen resolution and back again, the 'Open File' window displayed itself.
    Very bizarre!
