[QUOTE="Lancsfus, post: 1513200, member: 301120"] Hello my name is Paul and I have been a Mac owner for 6 years. I have an iMac and a MacBook and yesterday purchased a reconditioned second hand macbook. All machines have snow leopard on them. I have a time machine that is used to back up both the iMac and the Mac book. The seller of the reco MacBook said to copy the time machine onto an external hard drive which I have but haven't set it up yet. Then he said to connect the external hard drive to the reco MacBook and the do something to replicate the existing MacBook backup onto the reco machine. I am not too savvy about these things and searched on the forum but only seemed to find topics discussing the relative merits of backing up time capsules rather than using this as an approach to set up a new MacBook. Hope someone can help and look forward to being part of this quality forum! [/QUOTE]
