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

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.

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

Re: [WAMUG} computer re-starting continued

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

Re: [WAMUG} computer re-starting continued

Hi Rosemary. I don’t understand the relationship between Mac not starting and erasing your Time Machine backup ? > On 4 Jun 2021, at 9:44 am, Rosemary Spark wrote: > > OK. My computer kept re-starting. Very annoying > Finally got to testing. > Turned off Time Machine as someone suggested...now
