Hello All: Last Thursday my Mac got fried in a power surge in which my disk drive was blown out. Yes I had a surge protector and yes Applle care paid for the replacement of my disk drive. It took a week because they had to send to Bangalore for replacement and it took time. Then the Time machine wouldn't restore properly because they installed a version of Mountain Lion just prior to the one I had and didn't find it useful to tell me that. Go figure. Anyway, I have it back now and after being forced to use a borrowed windows computer for a week I am very glad to finally have it back. So now, I have a lot of questions about how to get things back the way they were prior to the crash. I will begin with the fundamentals and work my way down to the refinements later.
1. For whatever reason time machine restored my data and email but would not restore either my apps or bookmarks. Is there a place in the app store where I can find my previous downloads and reinstall them? I am currently in India and all I get when I go to the app store is a lot of nonsense about games and nothing I care about. Naturally, there is a lot of stuff on there about Mavericks but I have enough problems at present without that. See, I have been reading this list while I was in windows hell. I just want things back the way they were, thank you. I try to get onto the US site and can't make any headway. Suggestions please? 2. Where do I find the voiceover voices? I want Serena back! 3. I think my email is restored properly but I want the most recent messages at the bottom of theithe list. I have uncheck the box for having the most recent at the top of the list but there doesn't seem to be an option for having them at the bottom. 4. Because my settings didn't restore I have to redo my web settings but I can't remember what they were. Any general settings I should apply to make life easier? I think those are the big one's for now pending my discovering new fundamental changes later on. As always, all help is appreciated.
