Hi folks.
A couple of weeks ago my daughter had trouble accessing Gumtree.
Did not matter if she tried to log in or just tried as a browser.
Each time she tried she was re-directed to this website: cdn.districtm.io
I have no trouble using my iMac when logging in to Gumtree.
I have scanned her iMa
Hi Alan,
Why would you exclude your ~/Music folder from TM backups when you wanted to
use the 2009 iMac to listen to music?
Why didn’t you do a complete system restore using your SuperDuper! backup that
has your complete system backed up - that you did just before you commenced
trying to upgrad
Hi Ronni, thanks for the reply,
I will have a look at everything today and see how things go.
Take care.
Matt.

Hi Ronni
The whole system was restored from Time Machine except for the ~/Music folder
which is excluded in backup options.
The newly restored 2009 iMac with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks is 23.99 GB.
The full SuperDuper backup is 142.9 GB. The ~/Music folder is 118.7 GB.
Therefore OS and data is 2
Hi Alan,
I asked you to Restore the whole system! It will take much longer than 20mins.

Correction and update!
There is probably no missing data or folders. I forgot that ~/Music is
excluded from TM backups. Also I don’t use Mail on this iMac so the Contacts
app would have no cards. Sorry for this. I assume Recovery Mode looked at the
total history data of Time Machine to calc
Hi Ronni
I did a restore from Time Machine via Recovery mode for data at 25 April, but
got a strange outcome.
After about 20 minutes with around 15% restore and estimated 2 hours remaining,
I got the “Restore Succeeded” window with a “Restart to Continue" banner. This
proceeded normally to lo
Hi Ronni
A branch off the main post, but may be significant - - -
I came across an article I do not fully understand that incidentally argues
that an Apple security update (in 2017?) uses the MAC address of an ethernet

Hi Ronni
You’re right of course - 12 Gigs of RAM. Another error in my first post: the
folder with the partial dmg package file created during the download is at the
top directory level, not in Library.
I would appreciate a copy of your High Sierra prep tutorial. As this simple
little exerci
Hi Alan,
I’ve just noticed you mention the iMac has 12MB RAM, I’m assuming you meant
12GB RAM?
High Sierra requires a minimum of 2GB of RAM, but more RAM 4GB - or more is
better for your Mac’s performance.
If the installer didn’t fully download, or the file was damaged.
First delete the instal
It would have been such a simple method! But “if it sounds too good to be true
, it probably isn’t”.
Cheers
