urgent help please !!!

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
hello guys....


I am in an urgent need to your help please...

now I am writing this message from the newspaper I work for, and for some reason I need to restore the Mac OS machines to a previous date, the Mac OS version is 10.3, and I think it must be restored using the time machine ???

so I just looked for the "time machine" but I coudn't find any thing like this, so what can I do now to restore the "eMac" to previous check point ?

I want to do this because the intire network, including the internet have been lost for some reason, which I am not aware from, though last night we left the system working, but I don't know what happend !!

so guys I think restoring the system to a previous check point will resolve the problem ???


and how can I do the "system restore" ??? and how much time do you think this will take ??

if this will depend on the machine specification, then I would like to tell you that the machines are like 700MHz processor, and 256 RAM.

again... I would like to know how to restore the eMac machines to a previous system point ??? ( I would like to remind you that the Mac OS version is 10.3)

thank you guys....

if your problem is just that the network is down then it is not a problem with the individual workstations, the problem is in one of your network components.

I cannot help any more without knowing how the network is setup.

thanks... I have finally resolved it all the matter was like the switch has been hot for a while, and then it just occurred to me to turn it off for moments, and then turn it on back, and when I did it, it normally worked again, and all I had to do after this is to activate the "Apple Talk" to make all the eMachines share a one printer

but I still would like to know how to do a "system restore", since this may come in handy in other cases in the future, so can you guys help me in this ???

10.3 is an old version of OS X, so unfortunately it does not include Time Machine or any other built in system restore feature. However, you can use a third party app such as SuperDuper, I believe one of their versions is still compatible with 10.3
