[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1640023, member: 83420"] Hi sonnata and welcome to the Forums. Others with more direct experience will chime in soon, but a question that I have to ask is: after you had wiped the HD and during the re-installation of Snow Leopard, did you create a new identity? You may have been asked if you wanted to or done so yourself. I ask because if you did, and then used TM to restore, there will be a conflict between the account identity you created and that which was on TM. This is a recognised cause of your difficulty (and is especially true of people using migration assistant if they create a new identity). Ian [/QUOTE]
