Hi All,
I have a 27" iMac (late 2009) that I use for my home business.
Recently it stated playing up, freezing, taking ages to do anything, wouldn't shut down, wouldn't start up from being in sleep mode, etc etc..
It also will not back up, it says it cannot find the (external hard drive) backup disk.
After start up it would be ok for around 15 mins, then the problems started.
I bought a new 27" iMac as I cannot afford to lose all of my data. When I connected the two iMacs together to transfer my data, the new iMac cannot find the old one.
I plugged the backup disk into the new iMac and it also cannot find that.
I plugged the backup disk into my Macbook and it finds the disk but nothing on the disk.
Since I bought the new iMac (typically) the old one is now working OK….but still will not back up, nor find the backup disc.
I now do not know what to do, can anyone give some pointers please, or do I need to take it to an Apple store. I am reluctant to take it to a store because of the time involved.
Thanks
Pemimo
