    I just tried reopening unity to work on my project and everytime i try to open it it gives me this error: " Opening file Temp/UnityLockfile failed: read only file system. I really hope its not corrupt. I tried opening Angry Bots and it opens just fine. i haven't done anything to the file since the last time i opened it. can anybody help?

    The temp directory exists in the root folder of your project along side Assets. If it's not there when the project is closed then that's a good thing.

    To change permissions easily you can use this tool: http://www.lagentesoft.com/batchmod/index.html
