Can't get access in Time Machine to certain folders for any date earlier than current date/time.

Can't get access in Time Machine to certain folders for any date earlier than current date/time, even when entering as Admin. Why do certain folders have small red "-" badge in lower right corner of folder icon?  Here's a picture of the dilemma:
I've tried monkeying with priveleges using Command I, and changing users, but to no avail.  Can anyone help?

Right.  Here's what the permissions look like from the Finder Command I:
I'm not sure what "Custom" means, but when I then try to change it to "Read & Write", it doesn't take.... just comes back as Custom. Interesting to note that not only am I logged into Joan's account where the data folder and file lives) to do this, but when I do it from my own account  as Admin (dunc...mpster) I get the same result.

  • Can GR date earlier than GI date?

    Hi,
    Good morning! I have a inquiry want to ask all the MM expert.
    I have a Good Issues date is on 22 May, but the Good Receive date is on 1st May.
    Is this flow acceptable?
    Good receive come before good issues sound not logical right ? But my user able to do that, when I try to reverse back the GR with wrong date, it come out this warning "document flow for delivey cannot be updated.."
    Is that my logic was wrong? Please guide.
    Thank you very much.
    Warm regards,
    PC

    Hello Peai ,
    The will accept the posting dates which may sound illogical .. eg GI date is earlier that GR date for a procured material .
    The system has the following logic :-
    If there is sufficient stock coverage at the time ( system time ) of  posting the document , the system will allow the posting in any date withing the same period . However if the period changes ( i.e , posting date is in the previous period ) then the system throws an error.
    Eg .
    GR thro Po done on 22nd May
    GI for the same done on 1st May
    Logically speaking ... the GI date cannot be earlier than the GR date , but the system allows this as these are in the same period .
    Regards

  • I was involutarily upgraded to Firefox 5.0. F5 plug in won't install. This prevents me from accessing my employer's LAN. How can I get F5 plug in to install? Thanks for any help you can give. MH

    What do I do to successfully install F5 plug in? Firefox 5.0 does not seem to accept it
    My level of computer expertise is at the level of a three year-old - three year-old cat rather than a three-year old human. Please take that into account in giving me any instruction.
    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated...

    For network access plugins, I suggest checking with your employer's IT personnel. They probably have tested this and can let you know whether there is a solution or you should downgrade.
    You can have Firefox ask you before installing updates. To manage your automatic upgrade settings, go here:
    orange Firefox button > Options > Advanced > "Update" mini-tab

    Nothing happens when I try to boot up using the command+R keys.
    Did you hold down those keys before booting and continue till you get to a selections window?  You should get this:
    If you can't boot into the Recovery volume make an appointment with the nearest Apple Genius bar for a diagnosis.  You're still under warranty. 

  • How can I get my printer to not change the font from any larger number than 10

    Is the problem in the printer or in the computer, I have a Dell windows 7

    I understand that you are finding issues while printing certain fonts with font size >10
    Please try to provide more details about the application software used, printer model and additional information which might help to understand the issue better.
    In general, the application software controls the complete page formatting (page layout, text/font size etc.).  Information or print commands sent by software will override the certain print driver settings and driver will convert the job to printable data.
    Please mark the post that solves your problem as Accepted Solution

  • Getting this error: Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you.

    I keep getting this error on my new Macbook Pro w/ Retina.
    "Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you."
    Connected to a wifi network and QNAP storage system.  There are 5 computers on this network, and each backs up just fine.  The issue is isolated to this one machine.
    This error shows up every week or so.

    A third-party NAS is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know this isn't the answer you want. I know Time Machine accepts the NAS as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you try to restore, and find that you can't.
    Apple has published a specification for network devices that work with Time Machine. None of the third-party NAS vendors, as far as I know, meets that specification. They all use the incomplete, obsolete Netatalk implementation of Apple Filing Protocol.
    If you want network backup, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or to an 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base stations support Time Machine, not any older model.
    Otherwise, don't use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to back up, though none of them is anywhere near as efficient or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.
    If you're determined to keep using the NAS with Time Machine, your only recourse for any problems that result is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple, or you, or anyone but itself.)

  • HT3275 I get this error Time Machine attempts a backup. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Barbara's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use."  Can anyone assist me in correcting the problem causing this?  Thanks.

    Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
    This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.

    C17 can be related I think.

  • I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine.  It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive.  I am not deleting them.  Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening?  Can I retrieve them?

    I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine.  It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive.  I am not deleting them.  Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening?  Can I retrieve them?

    ... I didn't know that Time Machine was more a last resort back up instead of main back up.
    Don't rely upon Time Machine to the exclusion of all else. I compliment Time Machine with a periodic "clone". TM is much better than nothing, but it's a safety net, not a hammock
    Here is my understanding of Time Machine's file deletion algorithm, distilled from Pondini's FAQ, Apple's KB articles, and my own observations.
    Time Machine deletes ("thins") files from the backup disk as follows:
    Hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first backup of the day
    Daily backups over 30 days old, except the first backup of the week
    Older backups get deleted when Time Machine requires space and you deleted them from the source disk.
    Therefore, assuming TM has been performing at least one backup per day, backup files will remain available:
    at least thirty days, if they existed on your Mac for at least a day
    until you run out of space, if they existed on your Mac for at least a week
    In addition to the above, Time Machine always keeps one complete copy of your source disk so that the entire volume could be restored if necessary. Any files that remain on your source volume will be present on the TM backup, no matter how old they are.
    If you are using 250 GB of space on your source disk, its Time Machine backups are likely to require at least twice that much. A good estimate of the minimum required backup volume size would be about three times the size of your source disk - 1.5 TB in your case.
    A more thorough explanation would require Pondini since he has plumbed Time Machine's mysteries far more than I have.

  • How can I get access back to sounds and lessons I have not downloaded before updating?

    When I purchased my Mac about two months ago, I had access to all of the lessons and sounds, I just had to download them.  I recently downloaded and installed the update and in doing so I lost access to sounds and lessons I had not downloaded.  It tells me that I need to purchase the sounds and lessons package.  How can I get access back since I have already purchased it?

    Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
    Yes, iOS 7 looks quite different. But there are many new and valuable features. As time goes on you will not remember how it used to look.

  • Cannot install Mountain Lion on my hard disc, as I keep getting the message" 'This disk is used for Time Machine backups'. Which it isn't - I don't use Time Machine

    Cannot install Mountain Lion on my hard disc, as I keep getting the message" 'This disk is used for Time Machine backups'. Which it isn't - I don't use Time Machine

    Check to see if you have a folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the root level of your hard disk. That can cause this error message.

    Possibly by using an Airport Express, but depends on what type of port connection the printer requires.
