[QUOTE="chscag, post: 819025, member: 46727"] Not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Your new MacBook will come with OS X pre-installed. Why would you want to restore OS X from a Time Machine backup to a new machine? You can of course selectively restore applications and data from your Time Machine backup but you [B]DO NOT[/B] want to restore OS X. The operating system probably won't restore anyway since it may be specific to your old machine. Regards. [/QUOTE]
