Recover certain files from Time machine from previous Mac I just got my new Macbook Pro Retina and update it to Yosemite. I now want to recover/get some files from my Time Machine backup of my previous Macbook but don't want to migrate my whole Time machine onto my new Mac. So for example I want some folders from my Documents folder of my older Mac, but not the whole folder. And some specific Apps/Programs and not all of them.

I'm working on a Synology NAS so I don't have a backups.backupdb folder. I can open the network folder "Time machine" and there is my Computer name. But when opening I just find a list of files called "ff", "fe",... The main Computername folders are called computername.sparesbundle. So its not like the Machine drive &amp; file hierarchy. Is there any other option? When trying to "Browse Other Backup Disks" via Time machine itself it opens the Time machine "star wars" but shows my current working computer instead of the Time Machine backup.

Thanks in advance!
The following worked with my Synology NAS:


Browse to the network drive in Finder
Double-click on the sparse bundle file for the computer you want to access.  
Click on the "Time Machine Backups" disk image in Finder (added to the left-hand pane by step 2 above).
Open the backups.backupsdb folder inside this disk image.
Continue as per previous comments.
