this is all very odd. Firstly, am I right that they did away with a separate application for the disk? My Tiger iMac has something called Airport Disk Utility which is not on my Leopard Macbook. When I click on 'set up Time Capsule' it just takes me to the Airport Utility but nothing more. THe disk appears in the Finder ok and I can send stuff there that way. I reformatted it to Extended but Time Machine still doesn't see it. I confess that I gave up on Airdisk [the term seems to have dropped out of use recently] because disks I used always got scrambled and needed salvaging. But I want this as a space back-up (I'll run it periodically, maybe once a day). Would be nice to get it working - if anyone has any ideas about what else I might try, do please suggest... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
