hello all
This has happened before but I can't remember what the fix was. I've
just installed a new and *BIGGER* HD in the old 13" white MacBook.
Before installing, I made 2 (two, count them!) full back-ups of all
contents on the HD using Carbon Copy Cloner.
Upon transferring this to the new HD, I ended up with everything
everything working fine (even though I dropped the pocketable WD HD
used for one of the back-ups and for the restoration in the interim
-- but not from a great height!), except for a question mark,
denoting "This item cannot be found", in the tool bar of the HD
window.
Switching on text in the "View" menu reveals this to be a file of
which there are four copies in different places on the HD -- in the
folders where they ought to be.
The usual search process finds them fine!
How do I get rid of the question mark?
By the way -- a while ago I was asking about the MacBook Air or Pro
13" with a view to switching and pensioning off the MacBook 13 white.
In the end, I didn't. I'm just used to this thing.
Instead, I upgraded the MacBook 13" by buying a spare battery to give
myself 6 hours running time, a card reader so I can plug in my SD
cards from cameras, and a 320 GB 7200 rpm HD to replace the 200 GB
7200 rpm HD I had in it -- all for a total of $130 with the help of
eBay.
I feel remarkably virtuous, but also stupid. One reason for switching
was to reduce weight . . . I have icnreased weight by about half a
kiloogram (1 pound). Ah well, I can compensate for that by losing the
same in body weight!!! :D
