I had to reinstall my MacBook Pro but becaue the problem seemed to be software failure I could not use the Time Machine Back up to do the reinstallation. I have found everything now apart from the Stickies - are they not backed up by Time Machine? If there are then where are they!!

Open the Library folder in your home folder by holding down the option key and selecting
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Enter Time Machine, select a snapshot, and restore the file named "StickiesDatabase".
Sorry I dont understand this. I get the holding down the option key and selecting Go>Library and I can see the hidden library icon. BUT this is for on my laptop and not on the Time Machine backup
My question is where on the TM backup can I find the stickies database. An IT person yesterday could not find it either despite searching on the internet for an answer!
Is that clear? I want to find the stickies saved on the TM backup which is on an external hard drive!
Once you have the Library folder open, enter Time Machine and select the snapshot of the folder from which you want to restore.
Ok I am sorry but i am not an IT genius and therefore I do not understand your language. What do you mean by enter Time Machine? The stickies I presume are stored in the TM backups on my external hard drive - but I cant find where.
What do you mean by "select the snapshot of the folder from which you want to restore?"
Is it possible to write an idiot's guide please!!
where are the stickies stored in time machine?
