My folders are locked on a shared Buffalo NAS Drive. How do I unlock them?

I have an Imac 27" running snow leopard and Im connected to a shared Buffalo NAS drive. Some of the folders are locked. I ran a test on an empty folder and selected get info, and changed the priviledge to "Read & Write" from "Read Only" and the folder locked. how do I get the folder to unlock? The other computers are showing the folder locked as well.
HELP!

We were able to unlock the folder from an old mac running OS 9 and change the permissions.
Thanks to a post from user MadDog.

Mailbox folders are missing, like priority, follow up, etc. How do I get them back?

All of my personal mailbox folders are missing like follow up, priorities, reservations, online receipts, etc. How do I get them back? I did soft reset but it did not resolve the problem. I recently updated the software but that was about a week ago. This just happened a day ago. Any help would be so appreciated.
THanks!

I think that Dominic is giving a suggestion for the mail application on a Mac computer, not an iPad.
If you had additional mailboxes on the iPad, that means that your email account is IMAP and the mailboxes should sync across devices. Are the mailboxes/folders still in existence when you log into your email account in a web browser? If they era still there, then they should sync to the iPad and yo all of your other devices.
Try closing mail completely and reset your iPad. Then see if they reappear.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HD went bad and my folders are locked. Help?!

SITUATION
Ok, I am currently booted up on an external hd of another user. My internal hd will not boot up so this is my only option. I am trying to recover/access files so that I can simply drag them on this bootable external hd so that I can in turn drag them back onto the hd that replaces this bad internal hd. Obviously I do not have a back up. I have alot of photos and various other files I want.
THE PROBLEM:
When I open the hd I see all of the folders for the users. However, the folders are LOCKED and I cannot open them nor drag them. I click on get info and check mark shared and try to change the read and write priveledges and they are grey and unable to be changed. I NEED TO KNOW how to unlock these so that I can drag these and save these.
Note: I have purchased disk warrior as well and I have rebuilt the directory on the source drive. These folders are appearing to be locked in DW preview as well.

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

Can not create a playlist from Buffalo NAS drive

Hi,
I have a Buffalo NAS drive which stores my iTunes Library. When I try to create a playlist and highlight the songs I want, I cant seem to drag them across to the playlist. I'm assuming that is because they are on my NAS drive and not local. Is there anyway around this?
ITunes 8.0.1 (11)
Buffalo NAS Linkstation 320GB

If the tracks aren't represented in the local iTunes library but only appear as a shared library, you cannot add them to a new playlist. You'd have to mount the Buffalo as an external drive and add the tracks to the local iTunes library: turn off the option to "copy files to Tunes Music folder when adding to library" in the Advanced preferences) and then use the "add to library" command under the File menu. The NAS will have to remain mounted whenever you want to use iTunes in this scenario.
Otherwise, you'll have to consult the Buffalo's documentation to determine if it's possible to set up playlists on the Buffalo and if so what procedure to follow.

My itunes library files are locked, on a locked disc, how can I unlock them?

Huh?
Your iTunes library is on your home computer. That is strictly under control of someone in your house.
Your iTunes account, which can be accessed with your Apple ID and password can be disabled by Apple. Is this what you mean?

You can transfer contents from your iPhone back to iTunes library:
First, *BEFORE you connect the iPhone, please go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPad, iPhones and iPods"*.
Then, for those songs that you purchased on your iPhone: Transfer purchases from iPod to iTunes.
For all other non purchased contents (your photos etc), their are ton of third party programs, some is free: iDump, Floola. Some is shareware, but they does preserve playlist/ratings/playcounts/artworks etc: iCopyBot, CopyTrans

I reinstalled my plug-ins into Photoshop CC (2014) on Mac OSX 10.9.4, and they are greyed out in the Filters menu. How do I get them to work? I have tried everything including repairing permissions.

My apologies. Your post jogged my little grey cells to the point that I did a few experiments. In essence, you are right. My plug-ins do not work with 8-bit greyscale images. I like to deliberately shoot B&W and have a Wratten #12 minus-blue filter on the lens--as I used to do with film cameras.
The raw files ( Fujifilm's .RAF) were converted in Adobe CR by checking off "Convert to Grayscale" under the fourth tab. In the future, I will do the B&W conversion in Photoshop with either Nik or Topaz plug-ins.
Thanks for your input!
