Hi Ken, An extract of comments from your emails over the last few days is concerning. iMac 27-inch with 10.6.8 SL, 2.66ghz Proc Intel Core i5 & 4gigs of RAM.
1. you say: "it is running as slow as... have done Applejack, run MacKeeper (it can't quarantine infected files for some reason)." 2. Then you say: "It may be beyond an online diagnosis but what do I know?" 3. And then you say in regard to warnings about MacKeeper: "I have been away from the List for ages & missed your posts" The posts to WAMUG - Re: MacKeeper were back in 2011 when you were active on WAMUG mailing list. And a search of the WAMUG Archives ( the link is at the bottom of every mailing list message) for 'MacKeeper' would have given you results. 4.in Regard to Applejack: "It's an all in one resolution after installs etc, a deep clean does everything needed. Has not let me down yet." Yet, you have a sick system?? 5. Then after all this you try to install Mountain Lion on a system that is definitely NOT healthy... Never upgrade if your current system is having any problems. And never without doing all the preparation before trying to install Lion or Mountain Lion. And always disconnect any external devices before installing an upgrade or clean installation. Have you even checked that your Applications, Add-ons, extensions etc are compatible with ML? Again a search of the WAMUG Mailing list for 'Lion' and 'Mountain Lion' ... would bring up lots of information for... 'how to prepare for Lion' and 'How to prepare for Mountain Lion' and 'how to install Lion' and 'how to Install Mountain Lion and what to do after each installation'. If you do download any of my Tutorials from my website I would appreciate your donation. > Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 08/01/2013, at 4:20 PM, Ken Jackson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks, > I've downloaded ML & when I try to install it tells me my Mac System drive > is used to backup Time Machine, it's not set up that way? > TM backs up to a dedicated drive called Time Machine??? > What can I do, tried rebooting after resetting TM to the Alt drive, no > effect... > > KJ > > Ken Jackson > > 0450 400 772 > www.littleriverstudios.com.au > 08 9376 1680 > [email protected] > Skype kennyj1098 > Perth, Western Australia > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
