Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

  • BlackBerry Q10 not all e-mails have been transferred from Bold 9790 to BB Q10

    Hello

    The BB customer service does the work of 'migration' of Bold 9790 for Q10.

    Initially, it appeared that all my emails, reminders, contacts, calendar notes got transferred. I don't check it very close as well since there were too many emails to confirm that.

    However, lately, I realized that a lot of emails have been missed. When I search for a particular email identification, Q10 is not raise emails from that contact (unlike my previous 9790 "BOLD" who still does because he always has these emails).

    What is the solution? Care of BB said this happens with many clients (more or less they say.. .as...) "" to expect such a thing, you can't get all transferred 100% '). "

    Concerning

    your care BB people don't know what they are talking about.

    Emails are not transferred from your old device at all. They synchronize directly from your e-mail account. If the emails are not on your mail server, they will not be on your Q10.

  • How can I restore mac Time machine backup to most recent?

    So, I recently met several problems with my old mac. He started acting upward with the blinking folder and question mark more often. So I did multiple time machine backups and have since then tried to reinstall the OS and many other options, but it looks like my mac middle of 2007 has had its day. So I bought a new mac and tried to restore the back upward on the external hard drive. I get the message that his back is an older version and it cannot be restored and I should use from the other mac migration assistant.

    So the question is: If the first mac is burned and I can not restore settings etc of the time external hard disk machine, how to restore the whole upward? Can I transfer files only?

    Very much appreciated.

    Hi Sir,

    You cannot restore data in time machine just like that. You use the data transfer assistant to recover your old records to your new Mac.

    The data that you used time machine made to your old mac are not available to your new mac. There is limitation of the system.

    Hope this could help you.
