I am trying to restore my apeture back up from an external hard drive and it keeps telling me i cannot open it due to file permissions. I have checked and its set to read and write. Not sure what else i need to do.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
What kind of backup is it? Time Machine? Aperture Vault? A copy of the Aperture library?
How is the drive connected? Directly or as a network storage?
Its a time machine back up and not sure its connected via my usb port on my external hard drive

If you are trying to restore a TM backup you need to use the TM interface. Going directly to the backups on the backup drive will cause problems.
In addition you need to restore the library off the backup drive before you can open it. You can't open on the backup drive.
