Well, it looks like I am SCREWED...

Time Machine says last backup December 17th 2007.... That was when I sent back my macbook pro for a replacement for a screen issue. When I got my new machine I restored from Time Machine no problem... Now I sold that machine and loaded another machine witth time machine but it looks like I've lost all of the information since then... For some reason the backups from the new machine aren't showing up at all.

This sucks. I am so depressed. Ive lost thousands of files....
😡


iTunes, scanned pictures, word documents... everything...

Have you tried manually browsing the Backup drive?

Have you tried manually browsing the Backup drive?

the time machine drive?

Ive only tried clicking the icon...

is there another way to search the drive?

ok, I think what I did was actually restored the wrong drive. There were 2 drives in Migration Assistant and one had a funny name that I thought was the old users info, but I think it was mine. Now I have to figure out how to delete the entire user that I created and then do another migration assistant with the old one...


fingers crossed
