Apple techs did a clean install of Mavericks which I had not yet updated to for many reasons. They replaced my graphics card. I do have everything backed up. What I want to do is go back to using my computer the way it was but I can't find the old system folder. What should I do?
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.5)
How was backup made?
Im not sure what you mean.
What application was used to make the backup?
Did you make a backup of your entire computer system on a external drive and what application did you use to make this backup?
Ttime Machine to an external drive.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then restore from Time Machine.
I did follow the directions (duh) for using Time Machine to reinstall an entire backup and it worked. Sigh of relief!
Thanks to all who tried to help. Collectively it did the trick.
You are welcome.
