I go to time machine and i can see the backup but the button "restore" is disabled (my macbook is in spanish so maybe the word is different).
I would like my MB be the same as it was, in Monterey.
Of course I'm thinking the button is disabled because the the current OS is different from the backup.
Is this the case?
What should I do?
Thanks!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4
Hi yano23,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.
We understand that you're unable to choose to restore your backup. The Restore button will become available when you choose one of the copies of the backup that is able to restore. You will choose the backup of the desired date and it will become clickable.
If this occurs with all backups, try the following from If you can't back up or restore your Mac using Time Machine - Apple Support.
* Make sure that you're using a backup disk supported by Time Machine.
* Unless you're using a network backup disk, make sure that your backup disk is connected directly to your Mac, not through a USB hub or other device.
* If your backup disk is connected directly to your Mac, use Disk Utility to repair the disk.
* If you're using a network backup disk, make sure that the network connection is good and your Mac is connected to the same network as the backup disk. If you completed a previous backup successfully, verify that backup: Press and hold the Option key while choosing Verify Backups from the Time Machine menu in the menu bar.
* Make sure that the firmware of your backup disk is up to date. Check with the manufacturer of the backup disk for details.
* If no other solutions work, start over: Erase your backup disk, then use Time Machine to select it as your backup disk again.
Regards.
I created a backup before upgrading from Monterey to Ventura, I can't restore now
