Terminal will not open my folder?

I did the command
sudo chflags -R nouchg [file]
I rebooted my computer, and my folder is STILL not unlocked!
Please help!

I would be using
/bin/ls -dleO@ folder.name
to find out what kind of flag was set on the file, then I could use the correct command to remove it.

Please help! Thank you.

  • Help Firefox will not "open containing folder" for downloaded .rar files

    I have to open a file that is in my FF downloads but none of the .RAR files will open the containing folder. I have quite a few .rar files none of them will open. Windows 7 PC

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • ITunes will not open - the folder itunes cannot be found or created

    I'm having troubles opening up itunes. Every time i click on the icon I get the following message
    The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the My music folder.
    I had itunes on my hard drive but it got too full and had to transfer the library to an external hard drive. This worked for a while but suddenly stopped working with the above message. iTunes is still in my program files and all the files are still there on the external hard drive but the program wont open.
    Can I change the options somehow??

    hi y'all!
    The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the My music folder.
    the first place to start with this error message is this KB doc:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... but if you run into the complication where the "My Music" folder doesn't appear in TweakUI, we've been having some success using the alternate technique in this Nigel Carpenter post:

  • Terminal will not open

    it worked perfect in tiger, but now in Leopard all it does is bounce in the dock then close. any ideas how i get it working?

    The plist should be in /Users/your user name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.terminal.plist
    As for iCal, if the different account doesn't work, that suggests a problem with a system file, and I'm not sure where to go from there.
    Good luck!

  • Software Update, App Store, Terminal, iCal and other Apple Apps will not open.

    Hi,
    I've exhausted all my search methods and still haven't fixed this issue. I have been disconnected from the internet for about 5 months up until now while continually using my MacBook Pro (early 2011) daily for work. Problems arose about a month and a half ago when I noticed the terminal would not open. I trashed the corresponding plist files as recommended by other websites and trouble tickets. Still no avail, the affected programs all seem to be original software that came with Mavericks. When I try to open any of them (Software Update..., App Store, Terminal, iCal, iTunes Store) nothing happens. The dock makes a space for the icon and then before anything even bounces it quickly closes the space again. I've tried opening the contents of the applications and running the root program directly.

  • How can I save a page offline? the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open.

    the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open anything - can't I save the page as a single offline file?

    This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
    I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
    Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
    There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
    You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
    As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
    Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

  • Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

    please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • Office 2013 Will not open documents in a shared folder but 2007 will.

    Hi,
    Recently we are testing office 2013 and have noticed a problem. When office attempts to open an Excel or Word document that is stored on a shared drive on the file server it will not open it. When you double click on the document, either word or
    Excel, the appropriate Office app opens, but it opens on the start screen, i.e. the one with the templates displayed.
    There are no error messages displayed , and it appears that the office app opens twice, i.e you see the splash screen with the app name on it two times in quick succession, however you cannot find two instances of the app open.
    If you simply copy the document from the shared drive to the users desktop and then double click the file , the appropriate app opens and the file also opens without a problem.
    Also if you go to a client machine with office 2007 loaded on it then the document on the shared drive opens without a problem at all.
    The client machine with office 2013 is a Dell E7440 with windows 7 Pro 64bit.
    Thanks in advance

    I think its working now.
    Here is what I had to do.
    Delete Office from the machine once again, this time using the Microsoft tool to remove all remnants of the office software , then manually check the registry to see all the referenced keys had been removed.
    Reboot.
    Copy all the users data to another location on the same machine.
    Delete the users profile.
    Reboot.
    Reload office using the link Dell sent me.
    Reboot.
    Log in as a domain admin and check that office would open the documents on the file share and it did.
    Reboot.
    Log in as the user who’s profile I had deleted so that the profile was recreated.
    Attempt to open documents on the file share and it was successful.
    Move most of the users data back to the users folder so that his system looked the same as before.
    Reboot.
    Try again to use office applications and open documents from the file share and it continued to function correctly.
    Waited a day for the user to see how it went and it is still working now.
    I have no idea what could have been causing this problem or why doing what I did above fixed it.
    I hope the problem does not return.
    Now we can move on with more testing to see its suitability to our field service engineers, remote connections and connections to our customer systems will be checked next.

  • IBooks will not open any books after relocating home folder

    I added an SSD to my MacPro running 10.9. Because my home folder is too large for this disk, I relocated it to a large conventional HD.  Now, iBooks.app will not open any of my ePub or multi-touch eBooks.  PDFs are opened in Adobe Reader, just as before.  I've booted into the Recovery disk and corrected permissions but that didn't help.
    How can I straighten this mess out.  MacOS X will not allow me to delete the iBooks app.

  • Excel 10.1.9 will not open files in Leopard public folder

    My Excel files are in a public folder of iMac A (Leopard 10.5.1). When I try to open an Excel document from iMac B (Leopard 10.5.1 or Tiger 10.4.11) Excel starts and let me know "Document was not found". I can open all the other files on the public folder (PDFs, DOCs etc.) - only XLS will not open. With Tiger it worked since years. If I copy the file to the desktop, I can open the file, I can save it and drop it back to the public folder ... but that's no solution for me.

  • Imovie project folder will not open in toast titanium

    Hi,
    Just purchased a Lacie external dvd burner. I am trying to add my imovie project to my 1st dvd burn. When I try and open the imovie project folder none of my projects are highlighted and I can't pick them. Any suggestions?

    What do I have to do now?
    Find out what the "unsupported" format is and convert it to one that is supported if you can. (I.e., open the file in QT Player if it will open and check the "Format:" information line in the "Inspector" window to see what audio and video compression formats are contained in the file. If the file will not open in the QT Player, then check the Finder "Get Info" window to see what it says about the file contents.
