[QUOTE="podcartuneist, post: 1679013, member: 360556"] I went to a Mac store on the day of my last post and they recommended I do a Time Machine b/u as it won't bring back any of the problems since it doesn't backup/restore everything ....does that seem right? I will set up an actual appt., as soon as I logout, take screenshots of Time Machine's setup window with my Ext. hd connected, and get their advice as what to include/exclude in TM's backup. My main concern of course is to resolve the Airport/internet/(permissions?) issue. My next concern is to be able to restore my separate (large) audio and video library's (neither one contains any iTunes purchased files) playcounts, ratings etc., and in the case of my Wav audio files, the Artist, Album, CD name etc. via the PowerTunes program. In praise of CCC, it did do what I needed it to do, which was to find and make/show a list of corrupt files that should be deleted (I wasn't able to complete any backups with those files on my Mac), something that merely dragging and dropping my home folder or the Macintosh HD icon to a ext. hd, (or an actual Time Machine b/u) wasn't able to do. Because of the CCC backup and it's report, I should no be able to complete a successful Time Machine b/u. Thanks everyone for your responses. I will take the time to do periodic updates here, since you were all kind enough to take the time and supply your help. Also, there might be a slight chance that others reading this may find something they could use herein. [/QUOTE]
