Unable to stop Mac Backup 'to manage these settings, sign in on the same computer'...
I have two Macs.... iMac and MacBook. I have dropbox set up on both, and a backup setup on both.
I am able to manage the MacBook backup...on the MacBook. But the iMac backup I get the message 'To manage these settings, sign in on the same computer you used to start the backup'.... and I get that message on both Macs.... I have no way to disable this backup?
My iMac backup seems to be constantly chugging away and affects my daily upload. I am fed up with it and just want to kill off the Dropbox Backup feature
Any help much appreciated.
Hi,
Yes I have setup a backup on the iMac. It seems to be constantly 'backing up' all the time causing my day to day files to sometimes take hours if not days to sync up. I have resorted to either using another computer or using a web browser just to get my files uploaded.
When I go to manage the backup on the iMac I get the message 'to manage these settings, sign in on the same computer' it is obviously the same computer I set the backup up with, so I currently have no way to stop the backup.

Hi STaber, have you tried disabling the feature, using your Backup page online?
