Time Machine 4
I have a 1 TB thumb drive which I use for Time Machine on my M2 Mac book pro (the computer has a 2TB ssd drive and there is more than 1.5TB available). The thumb drive worked fine Time Machine backups for over a year but since February it doesn¡¯t complete the backup and ejects the disk (not physically) and I get a message that essentially says the disk was ejected improperly. If I remove the drive and reinsert it and start Time Machine backup again, the same thing happens. There are about 300GB available on the thumb drive. Isn¡¯t Time Machine supposed to delete the oldest backup when space is needed for the latest backup? Is the thumb drive at fault or is Time Machine not functioning properly? Should I reformat the Thumb drive and start over? Or should I replace the thumb drive? Or using disk utility run first aid? If I replace the drive should I get an ssd drive or a mechanical drive. Is a 1tb drive sufficient for Time Machine on my computer? Lots of questions. Hope someone has answers. TIA Harry

Excel Help
This isn¡¯t a direct Mac question, but can be as Excel for me is on a Mac. I¡¯m going to send chicken tracks, meaning nothing, most of the time. Johnathan programmed two tables for me several years ago, I¡¯m taking the important items from each table into an Excel Spreadsheet. It¡¯s tedious but it works. I need help programming just a couple cells, I¡¯ve tried everything, combination after combination so it¡¯s going to take a real expert, at least I think. First, just to show what I do each day, for both the 10 Year Treasury Note and the 30 Year Treasury Bond. You can see the screen is split between the 30 year on top, the 10 year on the bottom. Next it¡¯s the center of the spreadsheet I need help with cell calculations. The color scheme is important, once you see the area needing help, the BLUE cell with black print is the TOTAL that I¡¯ve calculated, the YELLOW cell with red print is the DIFFERENCE. Here is the first challenge. 1. If both are positive the calculation is not hard, if both are negative, the same. The problem is when one is positive and the other is negative. 2. The second challenge is getting the real difference to be either a positive or negative ANSWER. If the BLUE total is larger than the YELLOW difference then the result should read a NEGATIVE number. If the YELLOW change is larger than the total BLUE then the result should result in a POSTIVE number. My samples will show what I¡¯m saying. I¡¯m sorry this is laborious, I have to give a detailed explanation. Is all this worth it? I hope so. My methods of market analysis doesn¡¯t use the standard dozens of studies, you know most of them. I have never wanted to approach it that way, often it takes a lengthly period of time before the studies align to give an answer. I want an answer, day by day. Period. One decision. One time. Done for the day. Does it work, I¡¯m batting a high percentage but if I can get this final calculation it will greatly improve my odds. So, I hope what i place below is understandable. Again, the data from Jonathan¡¯s two FileMaker tables are where these numbers come from, one day I hope to stop my search and begin to learn Filemaker, that will make all this much easier. The first is the entire spreadsheet. To view remove to your desktop, it¡¯s wide. Next is just the center of the spreadsheet. This one shows the numbers for both instruments, 10 year and 30 year. Now I¡¯ll center on the cells I need the calculations. I¡¯ll only show the 30 year, the top instrument, no need cluttering this more than it already is. First is the left side of the 30 year. The bottom line says YELLOW Time Chg, the 7,745 is larger than the BLUE 1601 next to it, so the answer is going to be a positive number. The purple is one of the many calculations Excel has given me with my erroneous rules for the cell. Also note, the POSITIVE 6144 is the difference between the 7745 and the 1601. Since they are both positive numbers the answer is an easy one. Below are the number on the right side for the 30 year. In this case the BLUE Total is a larger number -21079 then the Yellow change 1,951. So the resulting output is the -19,128, not the purple number, in this case the BLUE number is a negative number so the resulting -19,128. This may be quite confusing, and the easiest may be for someone to direct me to an Excel expert, online if you know of one. Thanks a bunch, I always appreciate this group. John

Unknown body of water on Weather app 8
Hi all, When I went to zoom out on the Weather app, I noticed an otherwise well-known body of water labeled as Gulf of America. <rant>Why, oh why, is Apple (or its app maker) going along with this silly publicity stunt? It brings back the memories of the idiocy of Freedom Fries.</rant> Bill

Wacko GPS 4
What I am about to report to you happened once before. Yesterday my wife and I were driving east on the Watterson XWay about 1:50 p.m. We had WAZE running on her phone and connected to Apple Car Play. Around Taylorsville Rd. WAZE no longer knew where we were - it kept thinking we were off the highway and kept trying to route us back on. I had cruise control on. When cruise control is engaged and you go from one speed zone to a lesser speed zone the car automatically slows down. When WAZE thought we were off the highway the car began breaking. I turned off the cruise control to keep the car from breaking. Once we got off the highway I pulled over and used the car¡¯s navigation system and the same thing occurred - it didn¡¯t recognize where we were. I tried WAZE on my phone - same result. I figure there must be something wrong with the GPS Satellite. Is there any way to check if a satellite is malfunctioning? I mean if my phone, my wife¡¯s phone, and the car¡¯s navigation system are acting as if they don¡¯t know where they are then it¡¯s got to be the satellite, RIGHT???? Your thought will be appreciated. Harry

Printing problems with IOS update 2
Hi Everyone, I¡¯m hoping one of you can point me in the right direction to solve this problem. I see HP charges for customer service calls beyond the warranty and I¡¯d like to avoid that, if possible. Since updating to the latest IOS on my iPad and iPhone , I¡¯m no longer able to print. I¡¯m using an HP Envy 4512. From the printer, I see it¡¯s on the network, but when I try to print I¡¯m told ¡°printer not found.¡± I have unplugged the modem, the router, and the printer, waited 10 minutes before plugging them back in. No luck. I¡¯m on Spectrum for internet. I¡¯ve, also, done some google research and don¡¯t see that anyone else has had the same problem. Thanks, in advance, for any help you might give me.

Help needed 3
Hey all¡­. First thing is whoever is controlling the thermostat turn it up! OK. Somehow and I still have not figured out how, but I have lost a file folder from bar at the bottom of the screen on my MACBook. Since day one I had this file icon (actually two) in the row with mail, browser contacts, iMessage and such. One was a folder with ALL my apps in it in alpha order. And then my Downloaded files. I do not remember what I was doing that somehow both of them got deleted and I can not figure out how to get them back. I did make a file folder and copied some programs to it and it is on my desktop. It¡¯s not ALL the programs/apps tho just what I put in it. How do I get those back? Thanks, Richard Richard D. Meadows Louisville KY 40212 (502) 593-5830 rmeadows@...

Question of pictures in iPhoto albums 4
I have used Apple¡¯s photo apps since the beginning of forever. Now, I have a long list of albums listed under the heading ¡®iPhoto Events¡¯. Some of these only have 1 to 4 pictures, and others have more. As I understand Apple¡¯s photo file storage, If I delete all these albums, I¡¯m really not deleting the photos themselves, I¡¯m deleting the place mark for that photo. I guess I could experiment with some of them, but I thought I¡¯d ask the group to get your advice. Thanks in advance! Bill M. e

HDMI cables 9
Hi was having trouble with my TiVo. I couldn¡¯t watch live TV or get to my programs list. I turned off the TiVo and after it restarted, the same problem. I changed batteries in the remote - didn¡¯t work. I switched the HDMI cable from one input to another - no change. Finally I replaced the HDMI cable and voil¨¢ everything worked. My question to the group - how does an HDMI cable go bad? One day everything works and the next day it doesn¡¯t.
