Hi there
I recently had to replace my hard drive on my Mac Book Pro. I had back up the hard drive on an Iomega portable Hard drive.
When I connect the external hard drive I am unable to access the relevant programs/document to install to my new hard drive.
The main thing I'm looking to retrieve are photos, some documents, music, address book
Does anyone know how I can do this or is there anywhere you can recommend I take the portable hard drive for assessment etc??
Many thanks

Dear Margaret09,
There is an application called Finder where you can enter the file name of the document in the search box. Upon connecting the portable drive, select file name instead of content on Finder to search for the specific files.

Thank you for your reply onward. However when I do that I get a message saying "You can't open the application Address Book because it is in a Time Machine backup"
