Re: [WAMUG] Computer shutting down

Kernal Panic’s are always a bit of a hard one to work through sometimes,…as they can be either software or hardware. Given you’ve said it doesn’t do it when Time Machine is turned off, then it could either be a) something in the Time Machine software or b) something with the drive being used

Hi there, Yes turning off the Time Machine stops the crashing…but now what? Cheers Rosemary On Thu, 2 Jun 2022 at 07:40, Peter Crisp wrote: > Hi Rosemary, message received. > > The crash report seems a lot of gobbledygook. But actually when looking > through all the verbiage, I couldn’t see

Re: [WAMUG] Computer shutting down

Hi Rosemary, message received. The crash report seems a lot of gobbledygook. But actually when looking through all the verbiage, I couldn’t see any relationship with Time Machine. Is it possible for you turn off backups to disable that and see if that makes a difference? If the panic occurs

Re: [WAMUG] computer - phone connectivity

Hi John. Go to iCloud.com on your Mac. Login using your Apple ID. You should be able to set up Calendar from there. And also add any devices. Each device gets the same data from one source (iCloud). So as long as they are all using iCloud they should all match. I found it a

Re: [WAMUG] computer - phone connectivity

Thanks Tim. That is more than likely where my problem lies but the reference to icloud leaves me completely befuddled. How do I check the icoloud settings? Thanks John Thompson jetj...@optusnet.com.au 0412 775 197 > On 19 May 2022, at 11:23 am, Tim Law wrote: > > John have you checked

Re: [WAMUG] computer - phone connectivity

John have you checked the settings in iCloud, AND in Calendar to make sure the correct calendars are displaying and activated. Might it be worth a good old, log out of iCloud and log back in again trick? Best wishes for it. Tim > On 19 May 2022, at 10:33 am, John Thompson wrote: > > I am

Re: [WAMUG} computer re-starting continued

Hi Rosemary, a friend had this problem and it was due to a failing power supply which had to be replaced. I also found this to be the solution to computer restarts when I did a Google search. Consider that you may not be able to solve the problem without taking it to a technician. Kind

Re: [WAMUG} computer re-starting continued

Hi Rosemary How do you have your Time Machine disk connected to the laptop? Assuming it’s the machine you listed in your specs? Do you have a hard drive connected directly to the laptop via a USB-C port? Or is it a “normal USB” backup drive you’re using and you’re connecting it to the laptop

Re: [WAMUG} computer re-starting continued

Hi Rosemary, It’s really hard to understand what the problem is that you are trying to resolve. I think you are telling us that you now think your computer is okay, but you think you have a problem with Time Machine. You’ve told us that your time machine disk is supporting three computers.

Re: [WAMUG} computer re-starting continued

My apologies. I mis understood your problem. I didn’t realise your computer is now functioning correctly. Stephen’s answer seems reasonable. I didn’t know time machine could back up data from three computers to one external drive. Tim Law > On 5 Jun 2021, at 1:16 am, Stephen Chape

Hi Rosemary. If this was me, I would use Disk Utility to Erase my Time Machine backup. Then start from scratch. But that depends on if you are happy to lose that data. > On 4 Jun 2021, at 11:30 am, Tim Law wrote: > > I believe you’re asking for help To deal with the problem of the computer >

Re: [WAMUG} computer re-starting continued

Hi, Not sure what you mean. What is was doing was shutting down and re-starting by itself. One complication is that the time machine is backing up 3 computers. Cheers Rosemary Spark PO Box 781 South Fremantle WA 6162 Australia Phone: + 61 ‭8 6397 6822‬ Mobile: 0414268043 On Fri, 4 Jun 2021 at

My computer has been randomly re-starting for months. A while back someone (Ronni) suggested turning off the Time Machine to see if that made a difference. It did...no re-starts. Hency my questions. Rosemary Spark PO Box 781 South Fremantle WA 6162 Australia Phone: + 61 ‭8 6397 6822‬ Mobile:

Re: [WAMUG} computer re-starting continued

Disconnect your time machine and protect it from fiddling and temptation It is your rescue line and might be your only connection to your former life. Focus on getting the computer going. Does it restart if you hold the shift key down? Tim Law > On 4 Jun 2021, at 9:46 am, Rosemary Spark
