Re: Mac OS Sierra question

Rick, I agree with Bruce: just start a new backup, keep the older one for retrieval of older, archived files. A 2T drive is like $100 nowadays, buy a new drive to be your primary external drive. The Time Machine backup is a very complex layering of files and other information. It wasn't

We had 9 inches of snow on March 14, and most of it has melted away. Along the roads and streets in my neighborhood, however, some snow was compacted by the snow plows and is very slow to melt. Some of the remaining ice has melted into interesting shapes, like this horse head:

Re: Photo books question

Just a follow up to my previous post... One of the quirks of Booksmart is that it can't automatically flow text between text frames. It's easy enough to work around this by manually breaking text but you need to be careful if you later edit the text - you'll need to manually cut and paste text

Good to hear that you've got it running properly. I use "SuperDuper!" too, it's an invaluable tool, but only for cloning volumes. Unfortunately, when it clones bootable volumes, it does not clone the hidden 'startup volume' that allows re-installation of macOS, so I usually run a macOS
