Will turning on Fileault mess up Time Machine
vI keep asking this question and haven¡¯t seen an answer. I had an error message from Time Machine about not being able to make copies because my Time Machine backup drive was not encrypted. I forget the exact error message. I turned off FileVault as someone suggested (it took more than a day) and then reformatted my TM backup drive. I asked whether or not I should turn Filevault back on (as my version of Quicken suggested) and if I did, would I be back at square one with an error message that my TM backup drive is not encrypted. Does anyone know the answer to this question?

I've just ordered one to try it out.

Otto I have to take more time to look at this, but at a quick glance, it looks amazing! If I am correct, they are giving you the ability to write as if you are writing on the paper, but that actually gets translated into computer format so it is searchable. That is so awesome!

Re: New MacBook Pro Boots When Lid is Opened
Howdy. Or, boot with Option Command p r pressed. If you have a startup chime, keep the 4 keys pressed until you hear the chime a 2nd time. Denver Dan On Fri, 6 Mar 2020 13:33:30 -0600, Bev in TX wrote:

Denver Dan Thanks, that is one of the articles that I read. I don¡¯t like the
fact that you have to turn it off again every time you reset VRAM.
So I was trying to get folks opinions on whether this feature is
something to just become acclimated or if it would be a bother.

Re: iMac seems frozen while restarting.
A Mac with an SSD, no external HDDs, should boot up fast. ?
You can also do the routine maintenance startup routines that have been?
discussed frequently here.?
Zap PRAM
Safe Disk Boot?
SMC reset?
Boot in Recovery and run First Aid?
Denver Dan
If I had those symptoms on my MBPro, the first thing I would do is restart with <Shift> held down (Safe Boot).
Let that finish its clean-and-check routines (invisibly), however long that takes, then restart.
I wouldn¡¯t expect zapping the PRAM to accomplish much on. new machine. And I haven¡¯t found SMC reset to be helpful for quite a few years.
But my *next* step WOULD be Recovery Mode and Disk Utility First Aid.
