Hi, folks,
Just picked up a new Macbook Pro 13-inch non-retina. Swapped out the hard drive for a 1TB drive, and upgraded to Mavericks the night I picked it up. After that, I migrated data from a 2006-era white iMac via Time Machine and Migration Assistant.
Since then, I've have connectivity issues (logins to the app store fail continually and I cannot access it at all, iTunes has a whole bunch of repeating "cannot verify the identity of xxx server," and I couldn't run the software that lets Apple support view my screen via chat). Apple support has recommended I back everything up (I did last night on a freshly formatted drive and have a full, new Time Machine backup) and do an erase and install.
From my web browsing today, it looks like I should to select "browse other backup disks" in Time Machine and manually restore my files. I only really need to bring over some documents, my Lightroom library, iPhoto library and iTunes library. I'll just have to reinstall CS5, Lightroom 4, and Microsoft Office from discs, which I have. Considering all those files exist inside my user folder, will I be able to bring those over to a new user library? Any tricks on doing that?
Thanks in advance!
