[QUOTE="Darker Times, post: 1431797, member: 25392"] Hi all Hope someone can help me here, as I have got myself in a real mess. I have been having some real problems of late with my late 2006 iMac running Lion. Been using Lion for about a year and I have had periods of (mostly) smooth running, but have always suffered with some graphics issues (parts of apps missing or see-through). Yesterday, I decided to do a fresh install of Lion to see if that would help things along, as all my upgrades have been on top of each other (from Tiger onwards) and I had been advised that I may be carrying a lot of old stuff with me, and that a fresh install MIGHT do the trick. Sadly, the fresh install is dreadful and is almost unusable. I did a full deletion of the hard drive and had a Lion DVD (made from instructions on this forum) and this all went to plan. The problem is, is that the graphics issue is far worse and I get many kernel panics. Also my Time Machine backup (which I have tried to restore my apps from) has restored the apps, but has not included any of the data. iPhoto contains no photos and the same is with iTunes. If I manually go to the time machine drive (rather than use the interface) I can see all my photos and music, but they will not import into any of the apps, but at least they are still there. So, I have decided to go back to Snow Leopard to see if it rids me of this graphics issue (which I never had until upgrading) the issue is how do I get my music/photos off the time machine as they are all Lion backups? I presume I will have issues getting them off that into Snow Leopard. I have scoured the internet for help and am at a complete loss. Please help. Philip [/QUOTE]
