You need to have those important files backed up off-site, too. It's too easy for a local disaster to wipe out your local backup.</div>

Perhaps TimeMachine had not actually fully finished when you tried to typeset a document?<br />
<br />
I sometimes find that the icon has changed back to normal, but if you click on it, then it still can say `Cleaning up … ’.<br />
This affects me mostly when I want to disconnect the backup disk, before taking the laptop from home to Uni.<br />
<br />
All the best.<br />

Where are the files stored? Are they on an external drive or the Cloud? It sounds like you don't have write permissions on that location.<br />
<br />
Can you copy a file to your Desktop, open it there and typeset it?<br />
<br />
Good Luck,<br />

HI, Herb. I don't use the Cloud. I have always used my desktop. I back everything up to a hard drive periodically using time machine.<br />
<br />
I realized after reading Bill's message below that I probably have copies if everything on time machine. The strangeness happened this morning after I did my most recent backup to TimeMachine. Before I start messing within anything on the computer or backup drive, I'd like to figure out what's happening so I don't inadvertently do any more damage. Making a time machine backup shouldn't mess with my TexShop applications unless something is corrupted.<br />
