Time Machine Backup Not Working Suddenly my time machine has ceased backing up. It backs up to a 1T G/Drive, and has worked consistently for months. Now I receive a message that says I cannot determine why this has happened or now to fix. There appears to be plenty of room on the back-up drive: Thanks for any help.
