[QUOTE="IgorP, post: 1952147, member: 367941"] I did not reinstall the OS or create a new account. I used TM only to restore my desktop files and folders by selecting/restoring them one by one. I would be really hesitant to use Migration Asst as I would not know which backup to use: a recent one would have the permissions problem, no? An old one would have my previous problem, which was worse. For now, having to enter my login password every time I move a file is only a minor annoyance. Maybe I should just live with it. I have never gotten into or understood all the sharing and permissions stuff. It's just me and my Mac, isolated, no sharing. [/QUOTE]
