Q: Time Capsule not working in macOS Sierra - Preparing for backup
Hi all,
Updated to Sierra last night on my MBP and today I'm sitting with a "burning hot" laptop on my knees and the message "Preparing for backup". Apparently the new OS does not see the time capsule as I can't view older backups either, although I can connect to the Time Capsule through the finder.
The strange thing is though that when I reboot both the connections to my Time Capsule and my NAS are not done automatically, I have to press enter when the dialog appears. Both however appear correct in my keychain.
So there's no way for me to backup my current installation and I cannot restore my previous version either. I'm rather underwhelmed by this new update to say the least as it has brought me problems instead of improvements.
Does anyone have a clue what I can do about the Time Capsule backup/restore problems?
Thanks!
Ron
