For a period of time I've been having "beach ball" issues of my computer becoming worse and worse. Yesterday, the iMac would not start up - period.
Ran some disk utility scans and always came up with a corrupted system.
Since I had most stuff backed up (or so I thought) I bit the bullet and reformated/reloaded the system. Currently I have El Capitan (10.11.3) up and running just fine.
I'm the process of resetting things up, but I've run into a problem I'm not certain how to handle.
I have some files in Time Machine that I can "see", but cannot restore. Everything is grayed out and not accessible. I was using El Capitan when the system crashed so I thought I would be able to retrieve them, but no luck.
Is there something I can do to be able to restore the files I want? None of the files are "system", they are either Office data files or some saved mp4 files.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
