This may be because out of the box, those drives are formatted for Windows. You may need to reformat the drive.

I had purchased a My Passport 500 GB external hard drive, when connecting it to the Mac, a message came up asking if i wanted to use Time Machine to back up files. I elected not to use Time Machine but instead to copy and move files manually. However, when I copy files or folders to the clipboard, and open My Passport, paste options are dimmed, in every case. Any suggestions as to what's happening? Thanks a lot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
