Unlocking Folders
I have an external Hard drive with all of my school stuff in it. I just finished writing a paper today, and when I went to save it in the folder it was locked. How do I unlock this folder?

To change the permissions on a folder select the folder in the Finder. Right click and choose +Get Info+.
Click the padlock and enter the admin password. Then set the access permissions as you need them.
If you wish you can select "+Apply to all enclosed items+".
The other issue could be if you have the drive formatted in NTFS as Macs are able to read NTFS drives but not write to them.
