Yeah I tried things like that as well, but it was a time consuming
experience, and i hope, that Apple can improve on it to make it a lot
easier then it currently is. .

Hello,
If you mean running Time Machine from the desktop and selecting a
particular backup option and then use the Restore button, I've not
been able to do that with VO. There was a discussion about this a few
weeks back. The problem is that we are not able to use the graphical

I haven't tried it but I would think that once your system is restored
you should be able to pull up Time Machine and revert back to a previous
point in time. In other words, unless the current backup is of a totally
broken system, you can restore that to get back up and running and then
use Ti
Hi,
Just one other thing. I hope I'm not confusing the situation for others.
In previous discussions, several people mentioned doing the restore
this way. If you reinstall the OS and restart to the setup screen,
then, you only have one time machine restore option and that's the
most recent
Hi Dan,
This is great to know. I did my install several months ago
when I upgraded my Mac Books' HD to a 250 GB model. So, it was long
before 10.5.6.

Hello,
While I had some problems with restoring Time-Machine backups in
earlier 10.5 releases, I have never had problems with this in OS X
10.5.6.
I start the install DVD. Start VO. Go to the first of the install
screens. Go to the menu bar and to the utilities menu and pick restore.

Hi Cara,
Just as a follow up and to help others, I stand corrected. In
speaking to my sighted friend who assisted me with my install and
restoration from a time machine backup, according to him, when you
select the restore from a time machine backup option during the setup
process,
Wow, this is interesting, as I have many backups but only saw one
relevant one for the partition I was needing to backup. Incidentally,
this is my main partition and as I said, there are many backup points,
so go figure.
I'm honestly not about to do this again right this minute, as
Hello,
Glad I could help. Pleas do let me know how it goes. I've never had
any problems with this method. Especially after OS X 10.5.6 was
released.
Later,

Ah, thanks Dan, this is possibly exactly what I want.
However, as a note of concern, when I did my last Time Machine
restore, I wasn't given the option to omit a key folder (/library)
that I really didn't want copied over. So I'm hoping this will avoid
that happening again by simpl
Hi Cara,
When you are going through the setup process and you have the
radio buttons to select a new Mac, restoring from a time machine
backup or from another volume, I chose the time machine optino. Note
that I could not get the restore to work from the Utilities menu of
the install
Hi Scott, yes and no. This is a system framework which is just
that. An assortment of libraries for developing / running software
which is made part of the system itself. I was able to locate a
folder that needed to be gone, but unfortunately this wasn't enough in
this case.

John, where were you offered the choice of dates from which to
restore?… I didn't see this at all. I chose restore from a Time
Machine backup, but didn't see any place to enter or choose a date.
Smiles,

Hello,
You can also do a restore from the install DVD by launching the dvd as
if you were going to install the whole system. However, after you get
VO running and you've answered the language questions. On the next
screen go to the system utilities submenu and pick restore.
You will then be
Can you just simply locate the file and remove it? If you were to look
in /Library or /System and possibly /Users/Library, I bet you will
find the offending file. When you did a complete restore, you were
given an opportunity to recover data from another volume attached to
the Mac and so f
Hi Cara,
From experience, I did a wipe and install with Leopard and then
used time machine to pull a backup from wich to restore. This worked
like a charm for me. I just chose the latest date and I got

setup when y
