Locked folder

Hello.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6. After copying some folders from external hard drive to PC these folders are now locked on Mac. There is no pencil in the Finder's lower left corner and there are no messages appear. I just simply can't open these folders.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I'll bedarned!???


Expand that bottom triangle on Sharing & permissions.


To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...

Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.


Does it work in the new account?

What are the rightson XXS & Movies folder?

Sort of like the finder Get Info but may show a little more than the get info, particulalry in your case since that Get Info you show doesn't show the group and permissions info.


If you really want to see the documentation for the ls command, in terminal type man ls and hit return, then hit return at the end of each page until it reaches the end of the information.
