RE: Backing up the Mac

2017-07-26 Thread Simon Fogarty

Hi ET,

 I've looked into this here in NZ,
 The difference is in nz approximately $50 and the format is Fat32 on the 
windows ones and mac osx extended Journaled on the mac ones,

 Why because they can to make people think you need one over the other and the 
apple formatted ones are more costly,

 For people that don't know how to format a drive.

I have 5 of the WD My Passport drives and none are for the Mac. Two are 
formatted for Windows, the rest for the Mac and each are partitioned. They all 
have been working fine. So I am curious what the difference is with the Mac 
version.

Re: Backing up the Mac

2017-07-25 Thread E.T.

   I have 5 of the WD My Passport drives and none are for the Mac. Two 
are formatted for Windows, the rest for the Mac and each are 
partitioned. They all have been working fine. So I am curious what the 
difference is with the Mac version.

If you find the drive in your computer volume listing, 
And then do a command I to get info,
 Then find the details that say format. See what it says.

If you need to format the device to the mac os journaled then please ask and we 
can advise you of how to do this.

Re: Backing up the Mac

2017-07-24 Thread John Panarese

   Usually, and I mean, usually, Time Machine automatically formats the drive 
to MacOS Extended Journal. At least, this has happened for me. If not, you will 
need to go into Disk Utility, select the actual disk from the table and choose, 
Erase, from the toolbar. Change the format popup to MacOS Extended Journal and 
choose to erase the disk. This will format it to the proper format, and you 
should then be able to choose the disk for Time Machine.

   Are the drives formatted to macOS Extended Journaled? I also use the 
Passport drives and do not have problems with any of them.
