"Unlock xcode files?"

A few days ago I had an issue with my Mac so I took it to the Genius bar at a local Apple store. They said the partitions failed on the hard drive and that it had to be reformatted. I use the automatically-to-the-system-to-a external server, so I wasn ' t concerned about loosing anything. They reformatted and I ' ve been putting things back on place.

What I had not the been able to the figure out: I have a number of the Xcode projects that I need to work on if I try to open them in Xcode I get this.

The file "Project.xcworkspace" could not being unlocked. Could not add write permission to the file because your do not own it. Try Modifying the permissions of the file in the Finder or Terminal.

I tried unlocking the project, the main folder, and the P.list file in Finder and making sure that I had read/write access But I ' m still getting the error.

When they reformatted the computer it does erase all of the keys and certificates I ' ve been looking but I don ' t think the S Oftware backs up the credentials on the computer so I don ' t think I can access the old certificates and keys.

Has anyone run to this before? How does I unlock the file?

Remember the Project isn ' t just a standalone ". Xcodeproj" file But it's actually a folder that contains a number of hidden Items.

So when applying permissions, make certain to apply permissions to every item in your project folder.

You can do this via the ' Apply Permissions to enclosed Items ' popdown menu (available in the "Get Info" window), which loo KS like this:
