Well, I was asked to sign in for the third time today (now the fourth time), and my recent posts are lost again. Still, I have the last
one I think...
I did that, and I now have a folder called ‘Folder', which appears to be associated with ‘Applications’. I clicked cmd-I and the machine answered its question ‘Where’ with ‘System’.
‘Folder’ refuses to open.
I’ve set the computer to do a Time Machine back-up – it refused the first few times, but now it claims to be about 24% done, with two hours left to go. I’ll go off and get some shopping meanwhile...
Well, the back-up seems to have worked, and the computer appears to have shut down by way of celebration. Nothing would wake it, until I pulled out its power-lead and replaced it (battery on 100%). I took a nap following my lunch, and was woken when the screen went black and the computer emitted a sighing sound.
I found a page I knew I could replace, and tried putting it into my file, starting with dragging the file-icon from a ’spare-pages’ folder. No good, so I opened it in (dragged it onto) Preview, opened ’Thumbnails’ and tried dragging it from there. Also no good.
The Apple community page took a minute or so to open, as usual of late. And now I’m offered ‘common.actions.post’ where formerly there was ‘post’, and of course, that doesn’t work!
What on earth else can I do – preferably without making maters worse !
I’ve copied the Etrecheck report into the Additional text below. Here’s hoping this will make it available...
‘common.actions’ etc has now mercifully been replaced bu ‘Post’!
