i cant restore my time machined files. it said "you do not have enough privilege to view these items" when i tried to recover my files. maybe its because of filevault? how do i recover my files? i know my filevault password but i dont know where to login. i dont know if there's already a thread about this issue.. i used the search function but an error always occur --> Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 12582912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /newhdd/home/philmug/web/forum/search.php on line 983
Are you logged-in as an admin? Your user profile must have a "no access" status. If so, tweak the Sharing & Permission on the volume where your timemachined files are located. Here's how... Click the volume on your desktop/finder used by Time Machine. Press ⌘+⌥+i, Get Info window will appear. Somewhere at the bottom is the Sharing & Permission. If locked, you are required to key-in an admin password. Look for your username and click at the Privilege column opposite your name then choose "Read & Write". Restore the lock at rightmost bottom. Hope these would help.
thanks sir but i still cant access my time machine. i googled time machine and filevault.. apparently time machine doesn't work well when you activate filevault.
Doesn't seem to work that way on my iBook. I just highlighted the files and clicked restore. Then they were copied to my current desktop. What a neat feature. First time I needed it. And badly too.
