Restoring Information Using a Time Machine Backup If you previously created a Time Machine backup, use the Restore utility to restore everything on your computer to its previous state. Use your Time Machine backup to restore information only to the computer that was the source of the backup. If you want to transfer information to a new computer, use Migration Assistant (in the Utilities folder in Launchpad). 1 If your backup is on a Time Capsule, make sure you're connected to an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. (To connect to a Wi-Fi network, follow the instructions on page 56.) 2 In the Mac OS X Utilities pane, select Restore From Time Machine Backup and click Continue. 3 Select the disk that contains the Time Machine backup, and then follow the onscreen instructions. Reinstalling Mac OS X and Apple Applications Under some circumstances, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X and Apple applications. You can reinstall while keeping your files and user settings intact. 1 Make sure your MacBook Pro is connected to the Internet by using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. (To connect to a Wi-Fi network, follow the instructions on page 56.) 2 In the Mac OS X Utilities pane, select Reinstall Mac OS X and click Continue. 3 In the pane where you're asked to select a disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it is the only one available). 4 To select or deselect optional software, click Customize. 5 Click Install.
