Deleting files of Time Machine, "the operation cannot be performed because you have not granted access to some of the elements."

I am trying to remove approximately two weeks (at a time), but I get "the operation cannot be performed because you have not granted access to some of the elements." How can I get around that?

Thank you

  • Impossible to restore a file from Time Machine

    I messed up a data file and tried to restore from Time Machine. It produces the message "the operation cannot be performed because you have not granted access to the Finances of 2016 VDJS. I use an iMac 2009 beginning running OS 10.8.5. I checked permissions, and since I'm the only person using this computer all read - write permission. The version of the file I am trying to use to replace the messed up one was recorded only a few days ago and should have the same permissions. I apparently can't use disk utility to verify or repair permissions on the time Machine if the problem is with the saved file. I have another backup using DropBox, but I organized "intelligently" so that it records the changes made to the files they are saved on the computer, if the vehicle has currently the messed registered version. Others have reported this problem as a result of this message on the permissions, but not in similar circumstances, while the situation I'm in.

  • my time machine just to complete a backup, but it is not listed?

    I have three macs backed up on a time machine. The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version. Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine. No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

    Your question is unclear.

    I have three macs backed up on a time machine.

    You mean a Time Capsule? They are backed up by Time Machine on every Mac.

    The mac, I want to migrate was on the list, but I made a new backup to get the latest version.

    Mac that you want to migrate from appeared in the Finder with a sparsebundle? It's still there... Have you opened it manually and check the dates?

    Now that it's over, it is not on the news on the time machine

    Sorry now it gets too complicated... did you really mean Time Machine here?

    If the Time Machine works normally... hourly backup you would not need to do anything special, so I'm lost exactly what you're doing different.

    No idea where it went? It drives me crazy.

    Me too.. I don't know where he's been... because I don't know what that means, or it you are talking about.

    Missing the sparsebundle to the backup?

    It is simply not enough the last backup date?

    Backup details will be in the paper... you can go through it and find out what happened.

    If you are migrating to a new computer before get rid you of this computer... Just use migration between the method of computers... not the method of TM. Transfer works very well... better even... If you connect two computers together through ethernet (love at first sight would be fantabulous)... and transfer on the standard gigabit network. If your method of backup fails for some reason any.

    But there are as many reasons for the failure of TM is not easy to understand.

    Use a work around if it is important to do this via the backup instead of direct.

    for example... a USB plug into the computer and use it as the target for backup... TM has done well above the local level as network drives.

    You can also create a clone bootable disk USB using Carbon Copy Cloner who is free to use for one month.

  • Moving backups Time Machine - the operation cannot take place because the backup item is not editable

    I want to change the external hard drive that I use for my time machine backups. I went through the steps listed here:

    Time Machine: How to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

    It seems to work correctly. I shot TM back and adding the new drive. TM is now backing up files on the drive up, but there is a problem.

    For some reason, TM has begun to put backups "freely" for lack of better in the external hard drive, and not in the backups.backupdb folder for a week, then returned to save them in the backups.backupdb > ComputerName > files from backups. So in other words, when you click on the hard drive in the finder, it opens the player and you see a folder named Backups.backupdb and then a bunch of mixed in which files are backups time machine named 2016-01-24-XXXXXX, etc.. When you go to the folder Backups.backupdb, there's a more random "loose" time machine backup file 2016-01-23-XXXXXX, and then another folder with the name of computers and in the folder are all TM backups except loose ones I mentioned earlier.

    It seems that TM is working properly now, but I don't know why he put the files from the first days outside the backup folder. However, when I do drag, I get the error:

    The operation cannot be completed because backup items is not editable

    I want to just put all the files in the right folder so that I can A) keep my disk organized and (B) ensure what TM can find everything correctly should I have to go back.

    No idea what is happening and how to fix it?

    Although the documentation Apple says you can copy Time Machine backups in the Finder, it is very slow and sometimes does not.

    This technique works only if the volume that you copy to the same size or larger that that you are copying to.

    First of all, please open the Time Machine preference pane and click the Select Disk... button. You may be able to unlock the settings first, by clicking on the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Log in as administrator.

    Remove the volume you want to copy in the list of backup destinations. Then turn off Time Machine.

    Launch disk utility, open the built-in Help and search for the term 'Double '. Follow the instructions. All existing data on the destination volume will be deleted. That shouldn't be a problem, because you do not want to mix non-sauvegarde and backup data on the same drive anyway.

    If the volume you are copying has been encrypted by Time Machine, you must first unlock it. Click the release button in the toolbar of the disk utility window.

    Turn Time Machine back on and select the new volume as a backup destination. Alternatively, you can continue to use the old volume, if you wish. Both will be alternated when both are available.

    ATTENTION: If you copy the volume is corrupted, as shown by the ERD or first aid in disk utility, while corruption is copied to the new drive. Do not copy data from a damaged on a faulty disk volume. Put aside the reader and do not use until you don't know that you no longer need the data. Then securely erase it and bring it to a recycling center. Do the same if the restore operation fails with "disk errors."

    1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.

  • Temporary files of Time Machine

    Had some problems with temporary files of Time Machine, which fills my boot drive with over 400 GB of files.

    I tried the command "sudo tmutil local disable", restart the mac, and then the command 'sudo tmutil enablelocal' but nothing happened.

    Then after trying more than those I lost the file '. '. MobileBackups' which I can't see from the finder by Go-> go to folder-> ".» MobileBackups"not through terminal.

    I also launched the drive and the authorization of repairs without success.

    How can I delete these files now?

    Hello NowApple,

    I understand that you are having problems with the removal of the Local snapshot that belongs to your time Machine upwards. It's something that you can get rid of by disabling Time Machine. When you turn that off, this disabled the Local Snapshot function and it is removed from your Mac. When you turn back the Time Machine, is activated again. Take a look at the information below for more details.
