I want to restore the system but keep files intact, what's recommended?
My computer started crashing out of the blue with the use of aperture, not sure if the library is too big to handle or what. Later I realized that it's not only crashing with aperture but with anything else that's not firefox.
With the use of aperture the computer crashes into a white background with vertical lines and a scary noise. With other programs goes into a black mode where I cannot get my background or any image back. In all cases I have to restart.
Because I have a laptop I don't like to have the time machine plugged in all the time so my latest back up is not current. That's why I'm afraid to restore the HD from the time machine, I feel I'm gonna loose all the new info if I restart from a time machine few months old.
Any helpful advise will be super appreciated as I need to resolve this to be able to work!!
Thanks a lot!
