[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1596118, member: 46727"] You can't restore your MacBook Pro that way back to Mavericks using a Time Machine backup because a Time Machine backup is not bootable. What you needed to do was re-install Mavericks from the App Store and then use your Time Machine backup to recover your data. Next time don't use Time Machine as a recovery backup when installing a new version of OS X, instead use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. Both of those apps create a bootable backup or clone. Also, I hate to say this... but admitting your lack of knowledge should have been a clear warning not to mess around with installing a beta version of OS X. ;) Anyway, too late to shut the barn door. Go ahead and do the recovery as I indicated above. [/QUOTE]
