Message: [QUOTE="JimA, post: 1531825, member: 12145"] I've always backed up my computer with Time Machine but have never had to retrieve anything. How do you do it? I upgraded to Mavericks a few months ago and discovered after much confusion that the "Mail downloads" folder completely disappeared. I can't download files that came attached to e-mail messages to anywhere but the regular "download" folder; whereas when I had Snow Leopard I could save them to anywhere I wanted. I know these two questions are related. If I go back through the Time Machine to the point where I still had Snow Leopard, I can find the whole "mail downloads" directory. Is there a way to get it back through Time Machine without losing everything I've done on my computer since then? I don't know how to retrieve things from Time Machine, having never had to do it.
