Hi Everyone. I've owned my MacBook Pro for almost 2 years now and this has never happened before so i have no idea what i did or how to fix it.
This is what happened.
I had just finished converting an avi movie to m4v with Handbrake. I right clicked on the file on my desktop and clicked 'Get Info' because i wanted to know how big the file was. Right after i clicked 'Get Info' and just before the info window popped open, i must have clicked or pressed something because ever since i did that, Finder won't let me delete a file from a folder or even change a file name. It always asks me for my password and even when i do ever my password it tells me i don't have permission.
At first i thought i'd maybe locked the file my accident but it's happening with every file now. Images, videos, documents. I can't send anything to trash or rename anything.
I am always logged on as admin. There are no other accounts on my system and no one else uses my laptop.
Any ideas folks?
I'm running Lion by the way
