Become a MacRumors Supporter for $50/year with no ads, ability to filter front page stories, and private forums.
Can you please change your thread title ("Time Machine on Mac OS X 10.x.y, Restore button is gray") and post accordingly (describe your problem here), and not just link to an outside discussion?

To edit your thread title, just click on the
edit.gif
button on the bottom right of your original post and then click the "Go Advanced" button below your message.

Have you also taken a look at MRoogle, since that question may have been asked several times?


And please post some specifics on your setup, for example what Mac and Mac OS X you use, what external HDD you have, what connection it uses, and so on.
