Harry,
Just to make sure that everything is set up properly on your external, try the
following:
• Connect the external HD to your Mac.
• Open Disk Utility.
• Select your drive from the list on the left. Make sure that you select the
drive itself, not the formatted partition. That is, select
Hi, Chris,
Interestingly, after reformatting, it no longer asks for a password, so that
doesn't appear to be the issue. I'm not sure. I will try a repair again.

I never used a password on a drive before. Did you ever try doing
backups without a password? I used a WD MyBook 500GB to do backups for

something is wrong with the drive or it is not truly mac compatible.
Not sure why you can't seem to backup to a local hard drive. Is it

Hi,
The complaints stem from the components overheating within the enclosure. I
did have an issue with the TC crashing but I did not lose any backup data as it

newer TCs in our organization and have not encountered the
