Yes the new airport 2tb works great. Only problem is getting my old backups transferred. Maybe should just keep the old one and wait for an apple fix. I can't hear on phone so calling would do no good in my case. To go to Apple Store I have to catch a plane and rent a car which is hard in winter because so many snowbirds. At least I'm not only one having problems. Thanks
