My time machine is on one partition of an external disk drive. Sometime in the last day (I don't know what I have done to produce this) a padlock has appeared on the disk icon, and I cannot make any changes. On the Get Info window it shows "custom" in the privilege column, ignores all my attempts to change to read& write, TM can no longer back up to it and if I try to open it I get a message:
'The folder “McBLaCieTM” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents'. I could erase the disk and start again but it would be useful to know what to do in case it happens again.
