Hi,

I use a non-admin account on my Mac Pro, which is running 10.9.5.  In the 
System Preferences app, I keep things locked and then I click on the little 
lock icon in the lower left corner (and authenticate) when I want to change 
something.

Today I noticed that the Time Machine preference panel was unlocked, so I 
clicked on the icon to lock it, but nothing happened.  I tried some other 
panels and I could still lock and unlock those.

I rebooted into recovery mode and ran Disk Utility to repair the disk and the 
permissions, but that did not help.  I tried logging in as Admin, but then 
there is no little lock icon in the Time Preferences app.  I logged in as Guest 
User and again I could not lock the Time Machine preferences, though I could 
lock and unlock others.  I deleted the plist for TimeMachine in 
/Library/Preferences (and let it be recreated), but that did not help.

Does anyone know what might be wrong and how I can fix this?

Thanks,

Gregg
