Had problems with my MBA, Genius Bar replaced Hard Drive, came home and switched on, all good so far.
I have a Time Machine & I know I have a good backup from Aug 5th.
I cannot get it to restore though. Firstly I know (now) that I was on a new account that wouldn't access any backup after Nov 2011. I've managed to change back to my proper account and I can see the Aug 13 backups now.
I think I've tried to restore something a couple of times, certainly the machine has worked overnight doing something! But no photos or documents back yet
And I may have inadvertently filled up my Hard Drive by doing whatever I've done!
So, I need an Idiots Guide to restoring from my TM, otherwise I'll have to trek back to the Apple Store with MBA & TM in hand and try and get them to sort it.
TIA, Katy
