[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1635952, member: 234411"] Hi All - I've been reading David Pogue's new 'missing manual' book on Yosemite - was on the Time Machine chapter today and plugged in my Seagate external HD doing my TM backups for nearly 2 years to my MBPro (specs in the sidebar) just to follow along w/ his text. So opened up TM to discover an abnormal interface - first two screen captures below show show different issues (after several closings and re-openings), i.e. '?' marks in the right upper corners of the Finder windows and missing top menu bars. I looked at the backup folders on the drive via Finder and the half dozen perused from different times seemed to be intact, so my files are likely there; also opened 'Disk Utility' and the Seagate drive verified OK; logged out and in - no difference; rebooted - third screen capture still shows a problem. Seems to be a software issue w/ TM - could get a new external HD but not sure that would make a difference - would appreciate comments & suggestions - thanks. Dave :) .
