Lock it at f/32. Autofocus lenses have a lock for smallest aperture (highest number) because that is wht the camera body expects. The lock won't engage at any other position.

The focus ring won't turn.

The focus ring on that lense will lock when the AF switch on the lens is on auto. Move the switch to manual and it will release the focus ring.

Does the Nikon - Nikkor 50 mm F/1.8 AF lens work with a D90? Sorry, Im a newbie, but I am looking at buying this lens, and would really like it to auto focus. I think it should, I just want to be sure...

Yes. I have one and it works perfectly on my D90. If you get the version with an aperture ring, be sure to set the aperture to its smallest setting (f/22) and lock it. You control the aperture from the camera, the same way as on a lens without an aperture ring. If you get the version without an aperture ring, don't worry about it.

I used the Nikon D90 with Lens Kit 18-200 mm, and I also bought the new Lens call Nikkor 75-300mm. But when I connected the new one (Nikkor 75-300 mm) in my camera and took some pictures, after that I...

That's the Nikon error message for a lens with aperture ring set to something other than the minimum (i.e. highest number).
The camera insists on controlling the aperture ring, and to do so, the ring must be set to the minimum setting.
Unless it is a "G" lens, which has no aperture ring whatsoever.
The camera body sets the aperture of the lens wide open while auto-focusing, and displaying through the viewfinder. When it comes time to flip the mirror up and take a picture, the camera dials the aperture to the setting you (or the camera) have selected.

Nikon 18 to 55 lens wont focus

Check to make sure the manual focus/auto focus switch on the lens is set to A. Make sure the lens is completely mounted to the camera and locks securely. If this does not help, or if the lens was dropped, then you should consider buying a new lens. the cost of fixing the old lens may be at least half of the cost of buying a new one.
