[QUOTE="Happy-Granddad, post: 1790631, member: 384425"] From the OP: I was getting no further with a soft fix so I bit the bullet and took my iMac down to a local workshop where they do nothing but repair Macs. They very soon concluded that it was most probably a fringe-malfunctioning HDD. Nothing showed up on diagnostics, but I was persuaded that the disk was well past its 3 score years and ten. These guys opened the iMac, gave the fan and everything else a thorough clean, and installed a 500GB SSD. They re-installed HighSierra .3 and I took the machine home, installed HS .4 and restored everything from my dual Time Machine backup drives. All my key applications restored perfectly, and all synchronisations with my MBP were intact. Just reporting a happy outcome, and acknowledging the good advice I was given here. David [/QUOTE]
