Step 2. Launch Finder and click its icon to open Time Machine. Then, click on the time icon from the top menu and choose "Browse Time Machine Backups".
Step 3. Now, all backups available for repair are presented in the Time Machine window. You can choose the backup point you want and specify the files you want to retrieve. Click "Restore" to get your files back.
