[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1619829, member: 46727"] It depends on the file that you're restoring. If it's a system file or one that the system has protected, then it's going to ask for a password before it allows the overwrite or replacement. What I don't understand here is your use of the term "paste". When restoring a file from a Time Machine backup, you should be right clicking on the file to be restored, and then select "restore" from the context menu. It will then ask where you want to restore it to and open a Finder like dialog. Are you doing it that way? [/QUOTE]
