@EA_Mai Thanks for the reply - unfortunately that machine doesn't have any sort of time machine backup.

    @fahlman Unfortunately, Apple only supports Lion on my mac so I can't upgrade and even if I could my graphics cards would then not handle it due to the updated specs for the latest patch

      @adamcollingbur Are you sure? If so, your Mac must be 10 - 12 years old. What model do you have?
