Time Machine and Permissions- URGENT
I have been getting really frustrated with Time Machine. It's a good concept but needs some work.
I do have a semi-urgent matter though. I have been using time machine since leopard came out and it seemed to be working okay. HOWEVER, when I tried to access some files on the external drive that are not at all related to a time machine backup Mac OS X gave me the whole "you are not authorized to open this. Your permissions are all wrong, etc."
I have checked all the usual suspects. Made sure the ignore permission box was checked. I tried changed the permissions to other users but any time I made a change and closed the get info window everything was reverted back to the original settings from Time Machine (or what ever made the original change).
I really need these documents, so I turned on root and tried changing or accessing the permissions that way. No such luck. Same thing: it reverts back to previous versions when I close the window.
Any one have ideas? I have spent about 2 hours trying different things. Maybe there is something that I am not thinking about - -
~Thanks
bump... i found still need help with the permissions. (the documents are not quite a urgent at this point)

Aloha everyone,
I've read through a lot of the post here and I have not found anything that seems to solve my problem.
I have been trying to restore a couple of directories from my Time Machine backup and I get a message telling me 'The operation can not be completed because you don't have permission to access 'BASEBALL' & 'SplashID', (each one is separate, but I wanted to provide both sub-directories). One of these is a directory I store video in and the other is an application.
Directory is /USER ID/DOCUMENTS/xxxxx
What I have done since I got this message the first time:
* Made sure I had permission per Mac OS. I am Admin on my system.
* Made sure Admin had Read / Write to these files as well as myself
* Confirmed permissions to each level sub-directory under both directories
on my system
* Confirmed sub-directories under Time Machine had same permissions
* Tried restoring Time Machine to each sub-directory
* Renamed sub-directory so a new one would be created when doing restore -
still got error message noted above. Although it did create the sub-dir,
but did not restore data.
* Tried restoring directories to Desktop, still get same permissions message
* Deleted other directories at the same level and restored from Time Machine
without any drama
Anyone have any ideas on how to get this to restore?Hi - Try reapplying permissions on the files in the Time Machine volume. Give read/write to "everyone."
Next, reapply permissions and ownership via the terminal. Replace username below with your short name.
sudo chown -R username (press spacebar, drop folder into Terminal window, press enter)
sudo chmod -R -N (press spacebar, drop folder into Terminal window, press enter)
sudo chmod -R u+rwX (press spacebar, drop folder into Terminal window, press enter) -
Time Machine and Permissions Problem?
I recently bought another iBook as I ran my old one into the ground. Using Migration Assistant I had Time Machine restore my old files. The back up was on an external MyBook drive. All went well until I tried to drag-and-drop files to the external drive. The computer gave me the message that the drive could not be modified. It then gave me the option to authenticate which I did and then the files were written. This happens every time. Will anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
oNiel
This solved most of my problems. One lingering is the constant refusal of Stuffit to expand items on to the external drive, saying it's write-protected. I have saved to the drive from Safari and Speed Download so I know that isn't true. Only when I used Stuffit does this happen. This didn't occur on my old Mac; only when I used the Migration Assistant combined with Time Machine. I'm going to delete Stuffit's .plist and see if this helps. -
Time Machine And Repair Permissions Error
Hi.
I have a new Intel Mac running Leopard. "Set up Assistant" worked like a charm and brought over all my preferences, iTunes, iPhoto etc. with out a hitch. Verified permissions and the disk and came up clean.
I bought a USB LaCie 500GB external hard drive and connected it up with the idea that I would eventually use it for Time Machine.
First thing after connecting up the new hard drive, Time Machine came up and asked if I wanted it to use the new drive as a Time Machine drive and I clicked on "cancel." Thanks to all of you I knew enough to need to GUID partition and re-format the hard drive, from the FAT 32 that it came with to Mac OS Extended (journaled) that Time Machine needs. After completing this, again, the dialog box popped up about activating Time Machine and I cancelled it again.
I have not, yet, activated Time Machine. But running permission verify and repair yielded this error message both times: Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
This is the same message seen on so many other people's machines and posted here when they run into problems with Time Machine. If I don't resolve this error, will I, too, have problems running Time Machine?
This is so weird. The only thing I did between the clean permissions verification and the one with the error was connect the USB LaCie hard drive and partition and and re-format it. Time Machine has not yet been activated on this machine.
What does this SUID warning mean? Is this something I need to worry about? Should I wait to start using Time Machine?
Or... is this not a problem but there are other things I need to do to insure a good running of Time Machine?
Thanks so much for any advice you can offer.-CharlotteThe SUID is nothing to worry about.
It is documented from Apple stating this.
Everyone of us has that error.
It has not bothered Time Machine from doing its thing. -
Time Machine and drive permissions question
I'm using Time Machine on a MacBook with two admin accounts (let's call them admin1 and admin2). admin2 is the account used daily. admin1 is the account used very infrequently.
Things were set up with admin1. I noticed today when I was logged in as admin2 that TimeMachine reported that the last backup was more than 2 week ago (when things were set up), and that the last backup failed because the user didn't have privileges.
I did a Get Info on the drive, and it seemed to confirm that (admin 1 had read/write privileges, but admin 2 had only read access).
To get around the problem I logged in as admin1 and turned Time Machine off. I then logged in admin 2 and selected the disk from there, and turned Time Machine on.
My question is - is this normal behavior? Or if there's something wrong, how to fix it?

After a few minutes, an external drive that is mounted on the desktop will spin down--like it should. But...each time a "Save" or "Save As..." dialog box is opened in any application, things will grind to halt for a few seconds while the external drive spins up--even though I will not be saving files to that drive. I've always hated that, which is one reason I've always done manual backups.
Does that happen with Time Machine (either with a drive physically or wirelessly connected via Export Extreme) and is there any way to avoid that?
It happens with TM. I am not sure of any convenient work-arounds. You can of course eject the drive and reattach it when you want to make a backup, but that's a bit inconvenient, IMO.
Is it possible to manually turn on and turn off Time Machine (and the external drive) so as to only do manual backups like I'm doing now? I don't really care about looking up a prior version of file that I've changed. I just want a reasonably current whole-disk backup.
Yes, TM has an on/off switch. Just turn it off until you want a backup. It will simply continue where it left off. It will not create a completely new backup. -
My iPhoto app was digressed back to 9.5, not sure how I did it. I went to time machine and restored. Now it wont accept my password. tells me it is locked. Can anyone help me?
Run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility and see if that helps.
If not, you can select the iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder, go File > Get Info (or Command-i), go to the bottom of the info window and set your permissions to Read & Write. On the Action menu at the bottom (the one with the gear) choose Apply to enclosed items... -
Our Mac was working fine last Monday, then Tuesday morning one of our current inboxes was gone, and an old, archived inbox was restored--twice. Other than some trouble-shooting on Tuesday, we've pretty much left things alone as we were busy doing other stuff.
I tried restoring the files from Time Machine, but it didn't work. I followed plisk restore instructions--nothing. It's a mess. We have no idea what would have caused this. We're above average users--we weren't mucking about with anything. It was just so strange.
I went back into Time Machine, and it just makes no sense that I can't restore anything. We're now missing important emails--nothing too tragic, but still a pain in the butt. Thankfully the current inbox that was somehow deleted had a back-up on our email server, but the archived/deleted inbox file that was magically restored had all the archived emails that we kept deleted.
Any ideas would be wonderful.
Thanks!Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk. -
Time machine disk permissions changed to read only
Somehow, my Time Machine disk permissions have now changed tand my backups are failing;
The permissions are:
Me - read/write, Staff - read/write, Everyone - read only. I clicked on the lock and entered my system password, but I cannot change anything.
Then I ran Disk Utilities to repair and verify. Still nothing. I rebooted, logged out, logged back in, etc.
There is plenty of space left on the 2 GB drive. It is a Seagate GoFlex drive.This seems to be a new problems that has not surfaced before. My backups always ran flawlessly.

I am a time machine and a MySQL user and want my MySQL databases backed up by time machine. Currently, the databases are not backed up because they are owned by root (there is a red x on the folder in TM). In addition, this is probably not what I want to backup. MySQL generates binary logs that are useful for backups and I can direct it to put them in a shared folder, but I do not know how to direct it to set their permissions so that they are world readable. A file does appear there in the TM when I look at the file that contains the binary logs, so I assume that I could restore from it, right?
Is this all I need? Oh, I also have a snapshot of the files as they were right before I started the binary log.
Are there better solutions?You could export all the mysql databases with mysqldump then let time machine back up the resulting file:
<pre style="border: 1px solid #ddd; padding-left: .75ex; padding-top: .25em; padding-bottom: .25em; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; margin-left: 1ex; max-width: 60ex; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #444; background: #eee; line-height: normal">mysqldump -A -uYourUser -pYourPassword > mysql_all-databases.sql</pre>

Time Machine backup to my Time Capsule worked great until I installed 10.5.8. My TC is connected to Mac via ethernet cable, and I use tc as my router as well. Now I would consistently get the error message: the volume cannot be mounted. Here's what I've tried so far:
- reboot the system and the time capsule
- repair the sparsebundle via disk utility- it was unrepairable
- repaired permissions
- used airport utility to erase the time capsule
- turned off time machine and reselected the time capsule as the backup volume
- trashed the timemachine .plist and rebooted again
Now when I start time machine a backup volume mounts but is stuck in "preparing mode." When time machine is active, my computer goes haywire- multiple processes and applications begin "not responding" and won't force quit, and I end up having to do a hard restart. I have been browsing threads regarding this issue and can't find any more suggestions other than what I've already tried. any ideas?Jonathan Clark wrote:
I'm experiencing a similar issue as well
No, you're not. This thread is about wireless Time Machine backups failing with "the volume cannot be mounted." message, due to a problem with the Mozy application.
also since 10.5.8. TimeMachine ran almost non-stop since I updated, and would back up Gigs at a time, even though I had not been changing the drive contents to that level. Now, TM won't run at all because my 500GB drive only has 70GB of space even though there's only one 21GB backup. It appears to have completely deleted a years worth of backups, kept only the latest, and thinks there is no room on the drive. It seems as if it tried to delete all the previous backups but couldn't.
I have never had an issue like this before, and definitely am not trying to back up 500GB at a time.
Start with item #D4 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
If that doesn't help, please start a *New Topic,* including the results from the Time Tracker app mentioned in that User Tip; what else, if anything, is on your TM drive besides backups, and the messages from the +Time Machine Buddy+ as mentioned in item #A1 of the same User Tip. -
I had to get a new hard drive in my 27 in IMac. I used time machine to get everything back on my computer. I just turn on time machine and its says it's preparing over 800,000 items to back-up, it never back-up, it stop and starts the process over again.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then repair the backup/TM drive. -
Conflict between Time Machine and Intego VirusBarrier X5?
Ok, so I was fiddling around tonight after I had some trouble. I got stuck in Time Machine and could only get out by holding down the power button. In Time Machine, I could do nothing--could not look at backups, could not cancel out. The starfield moved, but no activity from the application. Moreover, using the power button I could not quit or shut down normally, only holding the button down worked.
Ran maintenance scripts and repaired permissions. Same problem. Finally, I turned off real-time scanning for the new version of Intego VirusBarrier. That seems to be the trick. Looks like a problem there.I understand the majority opinion, but having lost a mac hard drive to a virus in 1987 and having recently spent a week cleaning my secretary's pc of a host of malware and viruses, I'm going to be a cautious user and run Intego.

Recovering "iTunes Music" folder from Time Machine Backup (Permissions Err)
OK, long story, but stay with me.... could be an interesting one here.
So I move to a SSD hard drive in my 24" iMac. New Intel SSD drive is only 160GB, so I'm only using it for the OS, Applications, etc... all of my data is on an external FW800 disk (Western Digital MyBook). I've already relocated my Home Directory to the external drive and that seems to be working great for all my pictures, docs, movies, etc, except for iTunes.
My iTunes library comes up, but I can't locate any of the songs. I checked the preferences and it's pointed to the correct location on the external disk. So, I was trying to do the relocation, but it would appear that the MUSIC folder does not have all the data i copied into it. When I try to open the "iTunes Music" folder I get this error... "The folder "iTunes Music" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see it's content". I've checked my Time Machine drive which obviously has all the music files on it (the space is taken up), but I can't get to them to recover.
Any clue how I can get this permissions error resolved so I can get my music? I have (3) backups of the same directory... all the same story, no permissions. I even created the same user account name when I rebuilt Snow Leopard on the SSD.I don't think you understand. I need to get my music from Time machine where it is backed up. How do i find it in time machine and how do i transfer it to a seperate HD?

I have an imac version osx 10.6.8 with time machine and trash issues.
Husband dragged backups from time machine into trash - God knows why! I had to restore the computer- brought it to the apple store yesterday. There is 1 back up in time machine and computer files are fine. This am time machine can't back up- says it needs more space. Also all those timemachine backups are in the trash. How can I delete them? Tina
just installed the latest Flash Player
Did you uninstall all the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player? Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer after the installation?
Which browser & version are you using? Have you tried other browsers?
Please advise. -
I have this doubt. I've just bought an external drive, especifically a Seagate GoFlex Desk 3 tb.
I want to know if it is recomendable to make a partion exclusively for time machine and let another one so I can put there music, photos, videos, etc that I should need to use or copy to another computer.
May half and half, 1.5 tb for time machine and 1.5 tb for data.
I have an internal hard drive of 500 GB (499.25 GB) in my macbook pro.
Any recommendation?As I said, yes. Be sure your Time Machine partition has at least 1 TB for backups.
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two (2). Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
