On your Mac.......
Click on the Time Machine icon on the dock at the bottom of the Mac's screen
or
Click on the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the Mac's screen and select Enter Time Machine
Give Time Machine some time to load everything........10-15 minutes
Use the timeline scale at the right of the screen to go back and select date for the backup file that you want to restore
Use the Finder interface to navigate and locate the file or folder that want to restore
Click Restore at the bottom of the Time Machine window
Click Cancel to get out of Time Machine and return to your Mac's desktop
However........if you have a new Mac and you want to use a Time Machine backup to restore and make the new Mac look just like your old Mac........then that is a completely different type of operation. Post back if that might be the case.
