Time Machine HD: Don't have Permission to see Contents?!

[whyrichard]

Hello,

I have had so many problems with my main account in snow leopard. I created a new account and moved my files over to my new account and thought i was in the clear. However, some photos seem to be missing from my iphoto library. (i have no idea how the hell that happened). so i have to go into my time machine hd to try to retrieve them...

HOWEVER... now even when i log in to my old account I CANNOT ACCESS MY TIME MACHINE HARD DRIVE. It says "the folder "Time Machine MacProDitchey" can't be opened because you don't have permissions to see the contents. "

When i go to time machine's info, all the privileges read "Custom". I cannot change them to read/write...


How do i fix this?!

Thanks,

r

OK:
Please Do NOT Access TM through Finder.
Always use the TM app.

iPhoto > open on your desktop > open TM app > go back in time to where the photos are > restore..

Not a good idea to muck around in iPhoto's library either as you may well corrupt it.

... yes... but time machine no longer recognizes the harddrive either...!
