I am a MAC user. I am trying to access a backed up file on my WD Passport from another MAC computer (the WD, through time machine, updated a computer that recently fatally crashed). When I try to access my Desktop file from the 'Latest' backup it gives me the following message. 'The folder 'Desktop' can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.'
I have tried to unlock and alter the permissions in the Info box for the file but no dice! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Welcome to the TH community, WarrencFry!
I'd recommend you to check how the WD My Passport would be recognized in the Mac where the backup was initiated. Another thing you could try is to on the Mac computer you are currently using. Hopefully, that will let you access your My Passport content.
A few weeks ago I installed a WD 'My Passport for Mac' external hard drive and have been uploading files to it. The other day the computer had to shut down for an update and when the computer started up again the icon for this h/d was missing from the desktop and a panel appeared telling me the disk was not ejected properly.
If it doesn't help, try re-installing the. Keep me posted with the troubleshooting & Good luck! SuperSoph_WD Thanks for the warm welcome and the help.
Cause the original computer is dead I'm not sure how to check on how it was initiated. On the disk permissions side there were no problems found with the WD device but it doesn't allow me to click Verify or Repair Disk Permissions. I tried re-installing the drives but no dice. Thank you again for your help.

Hey there again, @WarrencFry! I'd suggest you find another Mac computer where you could connect the WD My Passport and check how it would get recognized! I'd also recommend you try taking the file ownership one more time through the Terminal. Here's on how to execute the procedure. Give it a try and let us know how it goes!
