Rod tried this first, but ran into problems – he wonders if the problem is restoring from 10.5 system to a 10.6 system. If so, the same problems MAY prevent step 1 of my approach also. If this is the case, you could try using a 10.5 system (assuming you have another 10.5 machine available) to perform step 1 and then proceed with steps 2 3 from the new 10.6 Macbook. Just a thought.

From Rod’s email he wants to restore all a students accounts info from the Time machine backup of the students old macbook (which is dead) to a new macbook. I would have thought that the instructions Ronni has given are more appropriate for restoring to the same computer (say if the hard disc died and was replaced) My concerns: The original machine was older hardware and ran OSX 10.5 The new machine came with OSX 10.6 The restore procedure given will restore the hard drive to the OSX 10.5 configuration of the old machine. This configuration may not suit the new hardware. For example, my new iMac27, delivered with SL 10.6, will not boot from a clone of my old 24” iMac running Leopard 10.5. Also, I note that the article that Ronni references http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018 does say: But do not try this full system restore from a different Mac's backups. If it boots at all, many things will likely go wrong, as the new Mac won't have the correct hardware drivers, among other things. I would have thought a better approach might be: Perform a Time Machine restore of the old system (as per Ronni’s instructions) to either a separate hard drive or a separate partition (to the SL 10.6 system) on the new machine. Then use Migration assistant to copy the accounts (and applications if wished and compatible) from the restored Leopard drive/partition to the new SL drive/partition. After successful migration, testing and back-up of the new set-up, the original restored Leopard drive/partion can be erased. This may take longer to do, but I would have thought it would ensure that the appropriate system software was installed on the new machine. Forgive me if I have misunderstood the situation/set-up, but I would hate to see the ne w macbook SL system get overwritten with the 10.5 system of an older hardware machine.
