All of a sudden I find I cannot edit any documents as they are locked. I have gone into finder menu and get info and that states that they are unlocked. Also when I open and try to edit them it states I have to duplicate and edit,I have tried this and can edit, but when I try to save it refuses to allow. I recently updated to 10.15.7 whether this has anything to do with it I don't know. Any Help would be much appreciated
Many thanks tetsujin for the prompt reply. As regards permissions issue I have all administrator access. Re the previous os Im afraid I don't know. The documents I refer to are all , Pages and numbers. As you can probably tell, I am not that computer literate, although I can, after a fashion find my way through sites such as this etc.,(until now that is)!!! So any input is very helpful. Many thanks for your inputs What put me on the right path was the uploaded screen shot of finder where the highlighted general part "where" told me that I was trying to edit backup files, goodness knows how, but I have now restored my document folder from time machine and all is now working normally,I am in my 80's so it goes to show, its never too late to learn. Very many thank you to all
