You can also choose which types of files you want to restore. Another option is taking the drive out of the old iMac and putting in a drive box like an external and see if you can see the files that way. Just some ideas.James Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989059644120454647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-11467872643010173512020-10-24T13:06:50.104-07:002020-10-24T13:06:50.104-07:00James: I too just upgraded to a new iMac.

So I too just bought another 27" iMac with all the speed and capacity I could afford. Unfortunately a lot of my data is trapped inside the old iMac and I have been grappling with trying to figure out how to get select apps, files, and data off the external hard drive I had Time Machine backup to. Two weeks since getting the new iMac I am still not configured and up and running as I want to be, but the wisdom of upgrading in a timely fashion is opportune advice for all genealogists --Zoom users and otherwise.<br /><br />John D.

Only problems I’m having are the mouse, that reacts too quickly to left/right swipes on the mouse, so I have a wired mouse that’s more responsive... Google calendar will advance months on me unexpectedly and Catalina seems to be at the bottom of some wireless intermittancy. Super fast machine. Upgraded to Reunion 13 yesterday. Lot of little upgrades. Have fun with it. <br /><br />Bill George, williamcgeorge@gmail.comBill Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075665829827610982noreply@blogger.com
