Dear Ones,
Time Machine saved my hiney when Quicken disappeared recently. I
reloaded it this morning, bless it’s little heart!
Once Quicken was in place, I tried to update all the accounts. During
this process, something went wrong & the whole machine crashed. The screen had
parallel columns of very closely spaced horizontal lines; these columns were
icky green & flickered. it stopped and tried to reboot itself.
I don’t know whether or not Time Machine had anything to do with this process,
but I wouldn’t expect it to. There was no message about sending a report to
Apple, which was unusual.
My machine will only start up correctly when there are no peripherals
attached. Otherwise, it stops at the chime, and chimes forever. When it
rebooted itself, they were still connected and it was chiming, so I had to
turn it off with the button, unplug the printer and Time Machine, and then
restart.
Now, when I try to plug Time Machine back in, I get this message:
“The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.”
My choices are the following buttons:
Initialize (won’t this erase all previous time machine backups?)
Ignore (go buy new disk? Not particularly enthused….)
Eject Ditto,
As far as I know, eveything is working fine and I shouldn’t need another Time
Machine backup from days of yore; but I haven’t checked every program, either.
What should I do now?
Thank you oodles,
Suzanne Blake
