How to open files from a backup in MacOS?
Hello, I've run into the following problem. I had to uninstall the Big Sur beta and revert to Catalina. To do this, I copied the files I needed to an external screw, installed Catalina and copied them back. Due to the fact that I incorrectly unmounted Time Machine, I had to manually copy the files. The problem is that the files are opened, but I cannot change them or add a new file.
If I do ls -alh then I see:
drwxr-xr-x 2 myuser staff 64B Aug 31 14:23 newly created_folder
[email protected] 3 myuser staff 96B Aug 31 14:14 Old Backup folder

The answer was simple:
chmod -RN /path/to/directory
- for directories.
xattr -rc /path/to/directory
- removal of attributes for files.
