It won't let me save!

When ever I try to save any of my projects, it says: Error, Folder may be locked or read-only. What do I do?!? I worked so hard on my projects, and I can't save them! :(

Well... I don't know if this helps or not but it actually says: Save failed: Folder may be locked or read-only.

Try changing the save destination to the desktop.

Have you tried saving the project to a different destination other than the Desktop or the Scratch projects folder?

If you have a mac
Go to the finder find the folder and type command i.
Scroll all the way down. In sharing and permissions click the lock and type your password. Where it says system make sure it says read and write
