[QUOTE="AnthonyM1987, post: 719845, member: 56656"] I know I'm not the first, but wondering if anybody knows why or what the solution is. I'm using time machine and for a while now its been fine but.. The Problem I'm having now is I came to my computer this morning and it was "preparing to back up". Came back from a 10 hour day of work and its preparing. Can't get it to quit, hold the power button to force it to restart and now its doing the thing where on start up it refuses to go past a certain light blue screen unless I unplug the external drive where my Time Machine is. This happened on my last Mac too. Anyone know why it does this or how to resolve the problem? Bonus: I can prepare forever! [/QUOTE]
