Time machine back up - how can I access my documents when my Mac has died?
Connect the Time Machine disk to another Mac, then you can browse the backups by clicking on the Time Machine icon in the menu bar, holding ⌥ and clicking Browse Other Backup Disks….



Alternatively, you can look for files just using Finder. Open the Time Machine disk in Finder, then open the folder at this path, replacing ‘computername’ with the name of your computer.
