How to modify an unmodifiable/restricted folder on Mac Osx?

[writeincode]

I wanna move something into a folder in an application but it says that the folder cannot be modified. Is there an obscure way around this?

 

I feel like somewhere here must be super-tech-savvy and know how.

 

Thank you! A resolution will be rewarded with smiles

I'm not sure what 'folder in an application' means as opposed to just an ordinary folder but...

 

Go to the folder in Finder, single click on it and get info (either by menu or Cmd-I) - does it say the folder is locked? If so, just untick the locked box.

 

If it isn't locked then maybe the folder belongs to another user and you don't have permission to get in. You may be able to get around that if you log in as an admin user.

It's like the folder in the settings for an application. I dunno it's weird. I'll ask the IT guy at my uni i think.

You're not allowed to change system-level application folders unless you're logged in as an admin user.
