[QUOTE="Jhorra, post: 1364406, member: 26052"] In the end here's what I did: 1. Since it was a time capsule it only shows as a mounted drive when time machine was using it, so I would have to activate time machine so the drive would mount. 2. At this point I could see all the folders in time machine, but when I tried to copy files out of the folder it would say I didn't have permission to view them. 3. To get around this I had to use the console to launch finder as the administrator 4. This would let me copy the files from Time Machine to my local disk. 5. When copied this way the permissions were messed up, so I would have to modify the permissions on any file I retrieved using get info. [/QUOTE]
