I have a USB HD that I plan on using for Time Machine because I am going to replace the HD just one thing I want to get straight can I use Time Machine to 'restore' my new hardrive? 😕
~Thanks
 
Yes, Time Machine can be used after replacing your current hard drive with a new one. You'll install OS X on the new drive, and then it'll prompt you to restore your drive from Time Machine if you have one setup.
 
Cool

Thanks for the help, but does anyone have a guide for replacing HD on white macbook 😀

ok. sorry it took me a while to get back on the case. i just re-executed all the steps above.

time machine accepted the user/password that i typed in initially no error and then said backup would begin in 120 seconds. then after 120 seconds, it said "preparing..." briefly. then i got the initial error: "Time Machine Error. The network backup volume could not be mounted because there was a problem with the network username or password. ..."
 
does anybody have an answer to this one? this actually sounds like a similar problem a buddy of mine is having. 🙁
