I've had very limited internet access all week due to problems with my computer. After spending many hours at the Apple Store with some great Geniuses at the Genius Bar, we've come to the conclusion that the only option left is to erase the hard drive on my beloved MacBook and re-install the system from scratch (the likely cause is some corrupted files that are now affecting the system). I'm in the process of backing up all my files which is taking forever because of the problems. I'm writing this from my ancient e-Mac desktop (11 years and still going!), but I'm a bit limited here.
Just wanted to let you know why I'm not posting or visiting much. Hopefully, I'll be back in shape before too long!
I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on improving our conditions and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.
Good luck! For future reference when your computer is fixed - I've used carbonite automatic back up for about four years and through 3 computers. There are others too but carbonite has worked great for me. I get mine for $50 a year. It's easy to restore backed up files. And you don't have to worry about back up yourself -- it's automatic twice daily.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon! Good luck with the computer.
Sue,
ReplyDeleteHope and pray the fix works and that you get the computer up and running quickly.
I really enjoy your blog.
Blessings,
Elaine
Ouch. Hope everything works out. I had that happen to my older Mac (passed down to Jessie) and after some investigating, bought a new hard drive myself and reinstalled it (thanks to a you tube tutorial) pretty easily and for less money.
ReplyDeleteHope you're back up and running soon.
