Hello,
I have a problem with my Time Machine backup to my WD My Cloud. Sometimes i get error - sparse bundle is already in use. When i delete my drive and select it again it's okey again. So i think the problem is that sometimes I don't know if backup is in progress and i close my MacBook. Is there any solution for that? I thought it would be great if i could set my mac not to turn off after i close my mac if backup is still in progress. It will be doing backup and then after it's done mac will turn off. I don't know if that is possible so i ask you for an advice. Help!

Best mac apps. Think of Alfred as Spotlight with a dash of Siri. It's an application launcher, but it can do a lot more than just that. With Alfred, you can quickly perform calculations, execute web searches, and find word definitions, among many other functions.
