I'm trying to recover files from my old Mac Mini that was backed up on Time Machine.
I have a new iMac, and used Migration Assistant to move data between the old and new machines. The Assistant stopped before completion (somehow, the process erased the WiFi settings in the Mac Mini, and Assistant was using the WiFi connection).
In any case, I found many of the photos did not transfer, so I want to transfer them from backup - Time Machine.
Alas, the example doesn't seem to be working on my iMac. I open Time Machine, and the multiple windows are there, with the timeline on the right side of the screen, and the up/down arrows, but none of the restore functionality is working. The only working button is "Cancel".
I have confirmed the backup disks are connected, as I can search them using Finder.
What is needed to make the restore function work, please ?
