Q: How to access purple time machine back ups with fresh Mavericks install
A little trouble restoring from my time machine back ups. I had a fresh SSD fitted by shop and Mavericks installed by them (10.9.1) (no installer left and no recovery partition). I've attempted restoring from my Time Machine back ups, but all ones i need to access from connected external drive are in purple and cannot be selected. Is this because these back ups were from an earlier than Mavericks OS ? -- I would like my settings how they were previously also, hence full restore.
How do i easily make these purple back ups selectable for full restore ?
Thanks!
