So, I just bought a new MacBook Pro and migrated all my info and data from my 12" PowerBook G4... That all went great. I had been using Time Machine to back up my PowerBook for a number of months and when I tried to use it to restore some files to the new laptop it would allow a "restore". I know that I can go around the Time Machine interface and go into the hard drive and restore files individually but I really wanted to got back to a certain date and restore a bunch of music that I'd taken off... Can I do this? Because when I open Time Machine with the new computer it doesn't even show me the all of the backup dates in it's graphic on the right side of screen... Can someone let me know if there's a way to make Time Machine recognize my new computer? Thanks!

You may be able to do what you want by restoring to the Powerbook first, then copying from the Powerbook to the MBP.

You won't see the PB backups on the MBP because they are two different machines, and TM allows multiple machines to use the same drive for the backup files. Thus, the databases are kept separate.
