Hey guys,

I updated from ML to Mav by doing a fresh install and then transferring my TC backup using the migration assistant during the Mav installation process. All went fine and well.

Now when I try to access previous TC periods that were done on ML I get a black screen

What seems to be the problem????

I had this as well. Fixed like this:

- Click on the nearest available date (i.e. today)
- Wait a bit for the backup history of previous months to appear
- After that, browse as far back as you can in the history (3 months, 6 months, etc.) and restore a single file (doesn't matter which one).

I now have the full backup timeline each time I open my TC with no empty "snapshots".

Doesn’t work of me.

EDIT: Hmmm, after a re-boot maybe your fix does work. I’ll keep an eye on it.

Time machine is definitely buggy on Mavericks.
