![]() Also, I don't know how to tell which component of the Fusion Drive, the ssd or the spinning hard drive (or both), is failing. I suspect that's what's causing the problems, but I'm not sure. EtreCheckPro reports as a "major" problem that the hard drive is slow. I have the iMac with the 1TB Fusion Drive. IMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019) running slow with beach-balling while opening apps and documents. *that is what seems to have been going on, anyway, last night and this morning That is a contradiction of goals.Ĭan anyone clarify what if anything I am doing wrong with Ventura? Maybe it’s just my expectations. Somehow, my external SSD trying to connect over and over* does not seem like a good thing - so I assume it’s because I set that “Prevent automatic sleeping when the display is off” switch to “false.” But if I set it back to “true,”I assume my Mac is NOT sleeping. I assume.Īfter logging in, backups resumed once the connection was restored to the TM SSD. ![]() Clearly nothing is (supposed to be) happening at night so there would be no physical backups but TM should acknowledge the attempts as scheduled. And both days, the last backup was the night before, not what I expected to see. I had never noticed that message with Monterey. ![]() When I logged in, I saw that my Mac was trying to connect to the external drive. These attempts occurred within a couple of minutes of each other, not at all like a TM update. I heard it last night apparently coming on (well, the internal fan) several times, and again this morning. BUT there is some odd behavior with the external SSD I am using with TM. I turned that switch to “false” two days ago, and now it seems to be sleeping. The option to leave the disks running while the display is off (“Prevent automatic sleeping when the display is off”) is now defaulted to “true.” As a result, when logging on in the morning, the password dialog box came up “instantly”, indicating it had not been sleeping. I recently upgraded to Ventura (13.0.1), and now I have a lot of concerns. I was not sure quite what TM was doing but did not notice problems. It seemed that my iMac was indeed sleeping. I also started using Time Machine during Monterey - previously, I did my backups manually.Īll well and good with Monterey. So I convinced myself to try it during Monterey. But I have read many times over the years that Apple prefers the devices left on, presumably because boot-up performance is so bad (yes, updates too). I am a long-time Mac user but I never started the habit of leaving my machine on overnight - it has to do with paranoia from a hacking story a very long time ago. It seems that I can either have the Mac sleep overnight OR have TM operate properly overnight, but not both. I am not really sure my Mac is sleeping and am concerned about missing settings with Ventura (that were not needed with Monterey) to assure proper TM operation overnight. Since there doesn't seem to be any solution provided by Apple, I'm just going to have to avoid Sleep mode completely, by switching to "Never".Tl dr - When I leave my 2018 iMac on overnight with Ventura and Time Machine, I am seeing what I believe to be unusual, disconcerting behavior. included in their description the note that their board wouldn't work for OS 10.10 or higher. So is this Apple's way of promoting Thunderbolt over USB? One reponsible mfr. Someone on another thread replied with a hint about the PCI-e board, so I wound up reading reviews of boards on Amazon, and there was the problem, all over the pages: "The board works fine, but my USB-3 drives drop out with "Disk not ejected properly" notifications when the computer goes into sleep mode". I've spent months trying to figure out the source of the trouble on my Mac Pro mid-2010, and I've replaced most of the components involved, right up to the back of the computer. In any OS above 10.10, Sleep mode will eject any USB-3 disc connected to a Mac Pro via a PCI-e expansion board. Sleep mode causes backup discs to drop out? That seems to be the case.
