I thought I had the backup covered twice. I have to conclude that my issue is with files/folders restored from Time Machine. The problem Does Not seem to happen with newly created documents. My backup User ID and password were exactly the same when I migrated, but I did not change the 'machine name'. So folder by folder I brought the files in and changed privileges to make me the owner and have R&W. Plus I could not click to the file level. When I went to the date where my Doc's Pic's and whatnot were the Genie Bar on the right turned Purple and all the folders had the Red Circle minus sign in the lower right corner. Time Machine had recent backups of nothing from right after the install…. I suspect that some of my permission problems are from restoring Time Machine files. I had to wipe and install for peace of mid.Īfter the wipe and bringing select files over from Time Capsule, I started seeing this error.įirst I thought it was a Lion 'feature' that I didn't understand…. There are others with the same problem… Finally after a couple of case calls and visits to the Apple store (don't say anything!)…. When I logged onto my Mac with another user ID everything is fine.

That page was totally unformatted bunch of left justified blue hyperlinks.

Why? because 'Migration Assistant' brought over Another weird POA problem (In both Snow Leopard & Lion) where Safari would not load the certificate items in The Page for logging on to MobileMe Mail & Calendar. I performed a clean install (with a 3 pass wide) last weekend. I have the double 'everyone' & 'custom' privileges on a file info check. Moving a Folder is denied because I don't have permission to 'access some items'.
