John, The computer is plugged into a surge protector / power strip.
Any clue on how I would determine if it is the power strip or the computer?? I can rule out the power strip by plugging it directly into an outlet, a different one than the powerstrip is currently plugged into. I’ll give that a try. BTW the computer restarted sometime in the last couple of hours. > On Oct 12, 2017, at 10:07 PM, John Robinson <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Harry, could you have a flaky outlet, or if in a power strip that is going > bad….possibly the power supply inside the Mac is going bad…don’t know if the > computer backup internal battery going bad could be causing this.. > > You may well have a hardware problem. > > John > > >> On Oct 12, 2017, at 9:54 PM, Harry Jacobson-Beyer <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> John, >> >> I update everytime an update becomes available. >> >> My iPhone was upgraded to 11 on its own last week when I was in Europe.
