OS X reinstall - partial time machine restore?

I'm thinking of wiping my drive clean and reinstall Leopard to get rid of all the junk and hopefully resolve some other issues. I have a Time Machine backup of everything, but given my purpose for reformatting my drive I obviously don't want to do a full restore. My question is: After reinstalling Leopard will I be able to do a partial restore of, say, my music, movies, photos and some of my documents?

Migration Assistant, which is built in to Leopard, will run when you restart, after doing an erase and install.
From there, you'll be able to select "Restore from Time Machine Backup"
The files are technically speaking scattered all over the drive, but also all exist in every backup. See [this ars technica article|http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14] and [this one|http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/7] for more info.
Good luck!

  • Old FileVault crashed my MacBook Pro, had to delete, reinstall and Time Machine restore failed. Trying to manually rebuild. No iPhoto pics, no iTunes music and NO DOCUMENTS found! Any thoughts?

    Here's the ordeal. I'm running a 2007 MacBook Pro 17 inch with Lion OS. When I converted to Lion, I didn't have enough room on my harddrive to convert to the new FileVault, so I remained on the old system. Less than a week ago I reboot my computer because iPhoto seems to be stuck on "cataloging" my photos, though after days of letting it run, it doesn't do anything. After the reboot, my computer appears as if it had been reset to factory settings with all my programs gone, etc. I'm like, hey, I've got Time Machine, I'll restore it. After the restore is run, when I go to login, I get the dreadful error message, "You are unable to log into the FileVault user "John" at this time. Logging into the account failed because an error occurred". I searched the internet via my iPhone for suggestions and followed everyone of them, all the way down to erasing my harddrive and reinstalling Lion. So I get back into my computer and think I'm golden. I go to restore my computer via Time Machine and wham....I'm right back to that error message. I think, ok, I'll do it again. This time it messes us even more, giving me two login screens, one for the new Lion like before I restored the computer and then a second, as if it were restored, but unable to login. On top of that, I couldn't get back to the Command-R page! I thought I was really screwed! Well, I finally figured a way back, or maybe it was just that it finally decided to cooperate, I don't know, but I erased my harddrive again, and reinstalled again and thought, well, I'll rebuild manually by selecting what I want to restore from the Time Machine drive. I was able to get all my applications back and running, but to my dismay, I seemingly have lost all my iTunes music (except that which Apple has graciously setup to redownload now "thank you!) plus all my iPhoto's and even worse, all my DOCUMENTS!!!! Here I thought Time Machine from backing all this stuff up, but with over a years worth of back-ups I cannot locate any photos, music, or my documents on my drive to extract! Needless to say, I will never be using Time Machine again to back up my computer, I'll find another program or at least do it all manually. But my question is: am I looking in the wrong places for this files? Are they hidden under some unknowning folder that doesn't list it as music, photos or files? I can manage with the music, I can live with the photos because my wife has many of them on her computer and I have many uploaded to Facebook, but my files! My documents, thousands of them, many with information I won't be able to compile again, seemingly gone unless someone out there has any ideas?!!!
    I even had iPhoto search the drive for photos and after hours of the barber shop pole spinning I cancelled the command for I figured it wasn't going to find anything.
    If anyone has any suggestions, or if Apple, you are reading this and can provide some direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
    That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
    ... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
    If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
    Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

  • Time Machine restore fail - best method to reinstall OS?

    I've just had a Time Machine restore fail on me, startup gets to blue screen but no further. Also tried the next previous backup. Trying to decide whether to reinstall Snow Leopard on my not-quite-restored drive and then do the combo update to the last OS version, or whether to do a clean install (wipe drive) and then use the Migration Assistant to import everything.
    I have a ton of software / plugins authorised which will take me an age to reinstall, hoping that whichever method will retain all the pref files in macintosh hd/library and user/library. That being said I was in the process of trying to fix my intermittent system freezes, it was happening at the last TM backup so maybe aiming to return to duplicate system / user folders is a bad idea?
    Many thanks for any help.

    Hi again
    I have ended up having to erase my drive and do a fresh install of SL. When I get to the welcome page I opt to import all my setting from my TM backup. It started ok this morning but the progress bar has been stuck at "4 hours 46 mins left" for the whole day. How best to proceed now?
    Cancel it. You'll probably have to turn your Mac off via the power button.
    Can I do a disk repair on the backup data, and if so how?
    Yup. See #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum). Then you'll have to erase your OSX volume and install OSX again, since the transfer was incomplete.
    Or, if the repair finds and fixes problems, you might want to try a full restore again (much less likely to have problems with transferred apps), but perhaps from an earlier backup, before the problems started. If that seems to complete normally, but won't boot, then just install a fresh version of OSX over the old one, then download and install the "combo" update and repair permissions.
    Or should I try to mount the backup and manually pull off all my critical data?
    Only as a last resort. You may have all sorts of permissions problems that way, and of course will have to reinstall all your 3rd-party apps.
    Thanks again for your much appreciated support
    You're quite welcome. Hang in there!

  • Update from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 blown - Time Machine Restore blown

    Hello,
    summary of events:
    Update form 10.7.02 to 10.7.3 went wrong
    After Time Machine Restore no more Recovery Partion
    Lost about what to do
    On Saturday, I startet to update 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 on my MB Pro 15" (2007) Apples Software Update showed the combo update, and so I started download and installation. Just before that, I had run Time Machine on an external USB drive, so I was relaxed.
    After about 2 hours, the update was still running with no progress. After another hour, I forced a restart. Not very suprisingly, after the login, the wheel beneath the Apple logo kept on running.
    So I restarted from the Recovery Partition, selected my Time Machine-Backup from the external USB drive, selected my internal HD as target and clicked on "go".
    While the progress bar showed progress, I waited. Then it seemed to be complete and the MBP restarted. Now I got a folder with a question mark. My heart rate did not yet accelerate, since I had a back up, right?
    So I restarted again trying to boot from Recovery Partition - BUT, there was no longer a Recovery Partition. Or at least, nothing I could boot from.
    What options do I have? I could get my hands on a DVD that contains an Lion installation from the app store, but that is not the most recent version, as far as I can tell. If I would go that  way:
    Does the version of the Lion-app matter?
    Will it create a Recovery Partition?
    If not, how else could I restore a complete Time-Machine backup?
    Any help and suggestions are very welcome :-)
    Regards
    Jimbo
    Naturally, I a am mad as **** at Apple. First, that they abandoned physical media for Mac OS distribution, and secondly that some not so bright lad thought it not necessary to secure the availability of the Recovery Partition under any circumstances short of phyical damage. This really *****, guys!

    Ok... I'm not sure if the following suggestions will work with Filevault 2 enabled. I guess you can try after you create a backup for safety.
    You can recreate the Recovery HD two ways. One is to reinstall Lion using a bootable USB thumb drive of the Recovery HD created with the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant. Or from a bootable USB thumb drive with the Lion installer restored to it.
    A second way, which I have used many times, is to follow the instuctions at this site using Terminal commands. Step 3 is what you want to follow. The instructions use the RecoveryHDUpdate.dmg file downloaded from Apple to recreate the Recovery HD. It works great!

  • How do I know which id to delete and insure time machine restore?

    I had a glitch on my computer of the screen going black at random. I also had a recall on my imac for the segate drive which was replaced once. I brought it to the apple store after a week then determined there was no recall on my new drive and reinstalled Mt Lion to get rid of the black screen issue. Now here is the problem i got home and plugged in my ext drive for a time machine restore. I restored everthing using migrate assitant except the applications and desktop. I was asked to create another user name for the transfer. I don't understand why i had to do this so just slightly changed my id name. I now need to find the desktop data and can't find it under either names. I searched the drive direct and found the  info is there but migrate assitant doesn't show it. I tryed to restore back some other files but it was me to changed the name of the restore using migrate assitant again. How many ids do I need?  How do I blow way the 2nd id without gettting rid of my backup on the ext drive. I am so confussed now and can't figure out which  admin id has the info and which doesn't .  I don't even know if the info made it to the imac hard drive.  help!!!

  • Can't Boot After New HD + Time Machine Restore

    So a couple days ago my 27" iMac running Snow Leopard started making some weird noises and stalling out. Annoyed, I talked for a couple hours with apple tech support which eventually lead me to run an Apple Hardware Test. This test returned the error
    "Alert! Apple Hardware Test has detected an error.
    4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0)"
    I scheduled an appointment at the Genius Bar, and they replaced the hard drive.
    After that I got it home and did a System restore from my time machine backup. It finished fine, but when I restarted it got stuck on the grey apple screen with the spinning dial thing.
    I called apple back and they had me do a couple things like repair disk, verify disk, and one person had me reboot into this command line mode and type some stuff in. Nothing worked. After that They had me try to reinstall the OS first from archive, and next by erasing the hard drive and doing it. Both times the install fails with a big yellow exclamation point saying that it couldn't install support files and the OS couldn't be installed.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    I'm currently trying to restore from my time machine backup again, but I'm not hopeful.

    Here's what I got - apologies for any formatting peculiarities.
    The problem: 10.6.6 mac won't boot after time machine restore to disk.
    Further symptoms: Booting with Command-v shows several errors: usually blued and loginwindow collapse with errors from launchd. Errors will be of the style "dyld: Symbol not found: CSSMOID_APPLE_TP_MACAPPSTORERECEIPT" and other CommerceKit / CommerceCore framework errors.
    A solution: Your Framework Security library may be an older version (possible cause with Time Machine below). The easiest way to fix this is to find another, working 10.6.6 Mac, and update the Security library on the broken machine.
    Identifying if you're affected:
    1) Boot the broken machine into "target" mode - hold "Command-t" during boot until the [Firewire|http://itunesu.utah.edu/terms/images/Firewire_Icon.png] icon appears.
    2) Connect the broken machine to the working 10.6.6 machine with a firewire cable.
    3) On the working machine, the disk of the broken machine should mount.
    4) Open Terminal
    5) Run "ls /Volumes" - the name of disk you mounted should be there (in this example, we'll use "Macintosh HD".)
    6) Typing in the path of the broken machine, run:
    <pre>
    nm /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security | grep random_fd | cut -d. -f2
    </pre>
    (this does a dump of the library, looking for the version value)
    If this comes back with the value 22457 (or less?), your Mac is not booting because it does not have the updated version of the Security library, which is required in 10.6.6 since Snow Leopard added the Appstore / Commerce framework.
    Fixing if you're affected:
    1) First, make sure the working 10.6.6 Mac has a correct version of the framework:
    <pre>
    nm /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security | grep random_fd | cut -d. -f2
    </pre>
    For 10.6.6, this should be at least "22458"
    2) *Be extremely careful at this point* - Make sure on the mounted disk (not the machine you are working on!) run the following
    <pre></pre>
    2a) Make a backup of the broken library
    <pre>
    mkdir /Volumes/Macintosh HD/savedLibrary
    cp /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security /Volumes/Macintosh HD/savedLibrary
    </pre>
    2b) Copy the working version over the non-working version:
    <pre>
    cp /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security
    </pre>
    3) Eject the mounted disk from the working Mac, disconnect the firewire cable, and reboot the "broken" Mac. It should come up.
    If it doesn't, you have problem(s) that are probably outside the scope of this. I'd also suggest restoring your original security library that you saved off.
    Suspected cause:
    It appears that Time Machine never recorded the change to the Security library after the update. If the library hadn't changed, the machine should have failed to boot like it did after restore the moment a 10.6.6 update was applied.
    Inspecting the contents of my Time Machine backups before and after updating shows that Time Machine never updated the Security Framework library - why is still not 100% determined, but restoring from it is definitely broken. Combing through the backup databases on my Time Machine disk:
    (I upgraded to 10.6.6 on January 6)
    <pre>
    for name in 2010-12-30-093337 2011*
    do
    echo -n "In backup on ${name}, version of Security library is: "
    nm "${name}/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security" | grep random_fd | cut -d. -f2
    done

  • Can Time Machine restore to a new internal HDD?

    hi all, i've got a 1tb external drive that's exclusively used by Time Machine. the 1tb drive is connected to my 500gb mac mini. i've been running time machine for 6 months now daily, i just wanted to know if it was backing up everything on my 500gb drive or not. how can i check that it's working properly?
    also, does anyone know how i'd go about restoring my mac mini in case i had to replace the 500gb hdd? can time machine restore everything if i needed it to? if i bought a new HDD tomorrow for example, how could i get my system running back to where it was running today with all of the current settings and files etc?  is there any way for me to check that Time Machine will actually restore OS X, all my videos, music and my work should the HDD actually die?
    is there an apple link i can read?
    thanks for any help.

    To answer your question about replacing a hard drive and recovering what was on your old one ...
    Yes, Time Machine was designed for that. You may have one of two scenarios:
    (1) Your hard drive is replaced by the Apple Store or another Apple repair shop, in which case they usually restore it with the operating system you had before and configure it so it has a new system with no users set up; the first time it starts up it runs Setup Assistant. When Setup Assistant runs, you select the option to restore from a Time Machine backup. It will then automatically restore your entire hard drive to the newly installed one. Everything will be just as it was with the old drive. Exceptions: you MAY have to enter user keys for software like MS-Office and Adobe Photoshop. and you MAY have to reinstall your printers and scanners.
    (2) If the hard drive is replaced but no operating system or anything is put on it, you need to boot from your Install-OS-DVD and install a new operating system on the new drive. Then, on the first reboot, Setup Assistant runs and you can follow the instructions from (1) above.
    A good informational site about Time Machine is here: http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
    How do you know that your Time Machine backup is a good one? You can peruse through all the backups by running Time Machine and manually inspect that the files in those key folders (photos, music etc.) are all there and have the right sizes. You can "test recover" selected folders to a scratch location just to check that it works. I suggest you obtain another external drive and use it to make a "clone" of your internal drive using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. This is like a second backup, a failsafe in case, say, your Time Machine drive were to fail. This is not unheard of, since a power failure could cause both your internal drive and Time Machine drives to crash at the same time. The "clone" should be unplugged and stored separately to avoid this issue. You can update the clone, say once a week or once a month.

  • Time machine restore selective intonation vs full installation compromised system

    I have some questions regarding the above mentioned issue
    I have reviewed notes regarding selective app restore method and am aware that there are issues assossiated with failed apps since the original app installer installs files in various libraries and system settings
    My backed up Mac contains rogue programs such as the programming app python 3 and various rogue bugs and system settings.
    1 Does a full restore reset all backed up system settings or does it keep the fresh installation and include all your apps and settings such as mail accounts mail folders documents pictures movies podcasts etc without the bugs
    2 Should the answer to 1 be a yes all compromised settings will be restored, then will I have issues with installing VMware fusion as its an encripted integrated app that I keep all my master business applications but store documents in the Mac documents area.
    Other factors
    1 My accounting tax business has been hacked over and over again for the last 7 months from start of tax season
    2 I have lost 50% of my clients due to the interruptions and been hospitalized twice from sitting on the computer for extended hours and days reinstalling fresh system and restoring Mac documents only, 3 times over,  as well as trying to learn everything about best practice, hacks etc
    3 I'm using fire vault 2 however the time machine backup is not encripted are there any potential problems with either of the two methods?
    4 I will be using a proxy server when I next build the Mac will this be enough to mitigate potential security breach using the full time machine restore method?
    5 I have many apps that I have not purchased through the app center and have not kept the keys and will be a headache to get all my details
    6 what implications are there as far as the prior keychain access is consurned? How does that get restored?
    What is the most effective and efficient method to restore from time machine given above scenario?
    Thanking you in advance
    Peter

    Thank you for your advice
    I tried consulting Telstra premium services and other third party security consultants. I explained my steps and procedures upon each fresh installation and the extent of the hacking and they refused to service me. Additionally Telstra security center replied on the issue of using a proxy server that they only support windows operating systems. Last night an apple consultant told me to obtain the proxy server address and he will guide me through to setting it up. I hope this will resolve the security issue. However I'm not entirely sure. My iPhone was also hacked and 8 GB of data used in 1 day untill I caught on. Freaked me out since I had disconnected from the wifi.
    I'm currently installing from flash drive and transferring my information from time machine. I think it's a full restore.
    I am investing in a website in a couple of weeks however I'm not currently hosting one on my laptop.
    Cheers

  • Time Machine restore from WD my book live duo

    Dear all and especially anyone out there who may be able to help me.
    I have a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion, a WD mybook live duo 3/6tb on the LAN, all wired.
    It has been backing up through Time Machine fine until my MacBook crashed earlier this week so I have a fairly
    recent snapshot of my MacBook before the crash.
    I wanted to restore, after a Hard Disk erase which seemed necessary, from Time Machine but I couldn't make it work
    as it kept asking me for user names and passwords of the NAS (which I entered of course) only
    to result in error meesages saying the 'share' didn't exist. (Despite the fact that it does immediately
    recognise the backup and location on the NAS.)
    WD support advised me to first reinstall OSX ML and then use the regular Time Machine
    functionality to restore my Mac.
    - there is no option to fully restore your Mac through the wonderful TimeMachine time travel
    functionality. I tried to restore my Macintosh HD back to a recent time point but that resulted in
    nothing much (or nothing at all, I don't know). I don't see my old stuff, I still see a kind of vanilla
    OSX ML installation.
    - using the restore functionality (CMD-R during startup) and the time machine restore option,
    results in the same nagging for names and passwords and error messages that the share
    doesn't exist.
    WD support couldn't tell me what the share name (and possibly password) would be for where it stores Time Machine backup
    files (it doesn't show up in the list of shares when you look in the WD dashboard) and that makes sense to me as when you
    tell Time Machine to use the NAS, it doesn't ask you for anything in terms of shares or passwords either.
    So here I am: with probably a very good and recent complete backup at my disposal but no way of restoring it to my Mac.
    So all I had and trusted to Time Machine is lost.
    Is anyone out here who can help me? Anyone with a similar experience and hopefully solution? (That I can understand....I am a Mac user! :-) )
    I would be enormously grateful!
    Greetings from Amsterdam,
    Eric

    Hello Eric, not sure if this helps or is exactly what you are looking for as I am unfamiliar with the NAS issue you have.  However, I recently restored my computer from Mavericks back to Snow Leopard using my WD mybook.  At first I was unable to use the WD mybook for restore, as is was not recognized by the computer after the menu came up from pressing "command R" during start up.  I attributed this to the WD software requiring a password to access the drive.  This is the same password that you (anyone who owns a WD mybook) have to supply each time you want to use time machine to back up files.  There is a simple remedy I found.  You need to go to your applcations and select "WD SmartWare," type in your password, then select the "Settings" tab at the upper right hand conner.  Then select "Set up drive."  On the right side of the window there is the "Set Security Options," sign in using your password in the box displayed under "password," then select "Remove Security."  The last step would be to save the security setting, and you are all set to use your WD mybook without a password for full system restoration.  So when you restart your computer and hold (or as I found press many times) the "command R" to access the restore window at start up, you can select restore from time machine, and have your WD mybook now appear in the timemachine device window, as the device is not password protected anymore.  Once your computer is restored you can follow the same steps outlined above to reinstate your password for your WD mybook.  Best of luck,
    Marc

  • Will Time Machine restore software problems as well as data?

    Hi all -
    I've got a 20" aluminum (2007) iMac with Leopard (all updates installed) and Time Machine. I'm having a shutdown problem that I'm trying to resolve. Yesterday, the computer started powering itself off randomly, as if someone pulled the power plug. I ran both the quick and extended Apple Hardware Tests, and both came up clean (no errors). I'm thinking this may be a software problem.
    I'd like to reload Leopard to clean up the software. However, I already tried doing a Restore via Time Machine yesterday, and the problem did not go away. I restored to the previous day - prior to when the shut downs started happening.
    My question is - If I reload Leopard using the "Restore" feature of Time Machine, does that also copy any problems I had backed up in software to the reloaded system? My guess is yes, since all of my applications remain intact after the Time Machine Restore.
    That said, I find Time Machine to be absolutely brilliant in its simplicity and functionality, and think it should be in every single computer user's hands.
    At any rate, I'm fearing that I'm going to have to do a clean install and then reinstall all of my software manually to get a truly clean system, then restore data manually via my Time Machine backup. I hope I'm wrong.
    Can anybody shed some light? Thanks,
    Shelly

    it really does back up almost everything, even broken files. Go back to the initial backup and restore from that. If that doesn't fix it, you've got hardware problems.
    Crashes are one thing, hangs another, but actual shutdowns where the computer just goes completely off really indicate hardware problems. Software by itself won't do that, even if it's broken.

  • HT4399 Address book reinstall from Time Machine help?

    I just did a master erase on my MacBook Air 2010.  Genius bar helped me.  The only thing that didn't get reinstalled from Time Machine was my address book. How do I get my contacts back?  Please help!

    Try this:
    Open address book and then launch Time Machine (making sure Address Book is still the active window). You should be able to navigate through time IN the address book window and once you find the correct time there will be an option that says "Restore All".

  • Time Machine restore fails to solve airport issue

    I have a had a nightmare trying to reconnect my airport to our wireless network. I completed the usual sets (like buying a new Netgear router and creating a new network!) and all the usual PRAM zapping, plist trashing etc. All this in 10.5.6. I then read that there were tonnes of others with the same issues and so i decided to a complete restore using Time Machine to 10.5.5 (prior to my upgrade). I had had no problems at all connecting to the network under the old OS.
    On rebooting in 10.5.5, the problem seemed to be resolved only for the connection to drop again. This leads me to the conclusion that I must have a faulty airport card. I spoke top Apple and they put me on to a tech at the local repair shop. This guy said that all they would do is a complete re-install of clean OS as "Time Machine does not restore all the files when it restores you drive. True or false?
    My understanding is that my drive would be wiped and my old system would be restored to it. Has Time machine just restore some parts of the systems and left others in place???
    I can do a clean install and I assume that I can re-install my apps using migration assistant, but before I do this, I'd like to know why a "time machine restore" (done using the Leopard Install disc) has not fixed my problem....shoudl I just go back and restore from an even older backup...?
    Thanks for any thoughts.
    Andy

    This is most strange, as when I was restoring my old system from TM (to 10.5.5 where I had no problems), TM & the OSX installer was telling me that all the info on my HD would be wiped - clearly not. Since my wireless problem still persists, I can only assume that you are right and that a TM system restore, does not fix all and that I am going to have to do a clean install of system software and then hope that migration assistant will allow me to reinstall all my software...
    The other alternative is "archive and Install". Is this better? My drive is partitioned (a system drive and an archive drive) - can I do an "archive and install" on my system drive partition and retain all my software without affecting the data on the other partition (it is backed up on TM of course...).

  • Time machine restore destroys the recovery partition

    Hi
    I wanted to restore my Lion installation with a Time Machine backup. So I restarted the computer with cmd+r and choose Time Machine restore.
    After the restore everything works except FileVault. I can't enable it and when I try I get the error message "Can't enable because recovery partition is not available.".
    How can I fix this? The restore from Time Machine works perfect and all files are at my computer but I can't use FileVault. And when I try to reboot with cmd+r so will it get the rescue information from the internet instead of the disk. So I'm thinking that the fault is that Time Machine deletes the rescue partition or disables it in the restore.
    How can I restore from Time Machine and later use FileVault?

    Reinstalling Lion worked. First restore and later reinstall... maybe not as good as advertised but it works.
    Pondini I'm evaluating TM as backup software so there was nothing wrong with the installation just I wanted to test to make a restore so the day when it doesn't work I know what can be done.
    Sadly I'm not that impressed about Apples Time Machine at the moment.

  • IMac won't accept password after time machine restore

    Restored 2009 IMac after an HD replacement by Apple. All proceeded smoothly until IMac wouldn't accept my password after the restore from Time Machine. Any ideas will be appreciated.

    One thing to try, if you didn't already do this, is to reinstall OS X and use Setup Assistant (which is only available at first boot of a new HD or a reinstalled OS) to migrate your data. A full Time Machine restoration on a new HD can have file permissions problems and/or duplicate User Account problems if Setup Assistant is not used.
