reformatting hard drive from SL disk
How do I bring back specific files from Time Machine? I'd like to do a complete reformat without doing it from Time Machine. Ever since I updated to 10.6.8 my system just hasn't been working the same. Slow boot times, rainbow wheel keeps spinning on many of my apps. The only things I'd want to bring back is iTunes music, iPhoto pictures, a few documents and all of my internet and email settings.I know how to do the first few items but not bringing back the Internet settings and email settings. I have several email accounts and RSS feeds. Would I just restore Mail.app to bring that all back or is there a folder with my settings somewhere on the hard drive? I'm a bit lost when it comes to that. Would I need to bring back the system preferences settings to get the Internet settings and if so, how would I do that? I notice my ethernet is set to automatically detect the iPV6 if that helps. Any suggestions?
