Hey all,
getting a new MBP soon and I'll be sure to do a last backup of my current MB.
I've read that a clean install on the new MBP would be better and more efficient for the new machine. However it'd be quite a hassle to install everything over again.
Also cos there're probably some apps/data on my current mac that I wouldn't need/require anymore and some that I need.
e.g.My safari on my MB now is abit buggy so i'd wanna use a fresh safari on the new MBP but I wanna bring over my bookmarks. How would I do that?
Or I'd like to restore my calenders and address book but perhaps not some other apps like an old microsoft office for mac.
So is it possible I plug in my TM and restore the various apps like how I would on my current mac? or does a new mac not show my current MB backups with TM in?
Basically I'd love to have selective restoring capability so I can decide what I wanna transfer over.
