[QUOTE="pothypine, post: 1940834, member: 192665"] Howdy...Running a new Macbook Pro, M2 Pro, Sonoma 14.3.1. I can't add folders to an external hardrive that I just used for Time Machine Back-up. I've always been able to use other External HD's for both TM and 'Manual' back ups of other folder. I can't change the sharing and permissions under Get Info for External HD because I don't see the option. I have no Gold Padlock, no list of users. I am the only user to this computer. Another issue: I tried to use a differerent HD that I have been using no problem doing the above actions. It failed (unrelated to this above issue). I reformatted. but first backed-up all my 'manual' stuff and then when tried to TIme Machine, was told I needed to reformat and erase the 2 TB of manual back-up folders. What's the issue? Am I formatting new HD's incorrectly? Why no option to change sharing? [/QUOTE]
