I have a developer that I have created an Area for in visualstudio.com or tfs online.

The developer has limited access to only that area.

I have administration rights for everything and all areas.

I can branch and download stuff just fine in that area it's only when I move it outside that area.

When I branch from the developers Area to my main source tree I get enter image description here

When I do that Get Specific Version I get the same error as above. The red outline is just covering up my project names not highlighting anything. enter image description here

All the files are in TFS online as they should be in this new branch I just can't understand what I'm missing?

When I choose to search for a changeset nothing appears either.

First, please double check your account's permission related to that specific branch. Make sure there are not any deny. In TFS, deny trumps allow. You could use below command to list which users and AD groups have permissions to a folder and all sub folders in a TFS project. 

 tf permission /server:<servername> <path in TFS>

And you could also use tf get command instead of GUI in VS to see if it works.

Another way is trying to get changeset 1 and redownload the files from server. Detail steps please refer this: Delete Local Folder in TFS
