Tony
Once again thank you for your time.
I enter time machine, but it doesn't locate my backup disk, I have to do that manually; I locate the backup from my old machine, locate the photos backup, the restore button does not light up.
The arrows don't move or take me to any older backups, even though there are 4 or 5 there; I have unchecked the "backup automatically" and there is no backup in progress
For something that should be as easy as click and drag...I am horrified it is something that can waste so much time.
Unfortunately, the apple support link you shared was well short of helpfulI.
Do you think that getting rid of Big Sur and going back to Mojave would help? The backup Im trying to access was done on Mojave...
Once again..thank you so much for sharing your time and helping me with this problem. It is very much appreciated.
Kindest regards
Gary
