xCode & Permissions Problems

xcode problems:

I try to write a code and get "“UIViewController.h” is locked for editing and you may not be able to save your changes. Do you want to unlock it?" when I click unlock it's a no go because the computer isn't recognizing me as the owner.

This has never happened to me before. I'm using my own Macbook Pro running OS X ML. I'm the only user and set as Admin.

I've gone through Finder to change/double check permissions for every associated file and folder I can find (Setting myself to Read & Write), but I can't find the specific UIViewController.h file that xcode is referring to. Instead the closest thing I'm finding DetailViewController. I still did the project file and the three folders it's buried into.

I also went into terminal but pretty much anything I put in after the sudo chmod 777 command gets a "No such file or directory" even if I change the name, use forward slashes, put /* at the end or leave it out, etc.

Anyone know what I'm missing?

(Please note that I'm just starting my computer science journey. "For Dummies" instructions welcome!)

This looks like you attempted to edit a header file belonging to a system framework in iOS which are protected against unintentional changes like this, possibly because the assistant editor in Xcode (usually shown in the right-hand editor) showed this header at some point.

The only solution here is to revert your changes unless you know exactly why you are making changes in those files.
