[QUOTE="1redcat, post: 1617970, member: 337081"] I'm not sure what you really need to know, but for starters Macbook pro, mid-2012, running 10.9.5 - what else? My external drive is plugged in, and time machine is on. I even did an extra backup after I got the initial error message in hope of that clearing things up, and it did not. So I searched the web and learned about making coding changes through terminal, which I'm not tech savvy enough to feel comfortable doing, or doing a clean install, which looks like a huge time investment. Hence, my wondering if this is a bug, or should I perhaps download a new copy of Yosemite and try again? I really don't know what you need to know to help, so ask any pertinent questions. [/QUOTE]
