Hi ive bought a seagat backup plus external hard drive. Ive been using it to transfer files from a pc to my new mac. When i originally used it for the first time, i think it asked me if i was using it between both windows and mac formats so i said yes, and this has worked seamlesly.
Now all my files are on the mac, i want to use it for a time machine back up. Upon trying this it failed because it is not in the correct format i think.
So here is a couple of questions..
1- How do i give it the correct format?
Seagate Backup Plus For Mac
Question: Q: Time machine couldn't back up seagate backup plus, Not Detected. I just bought the Seagate backup plus in December when my overly fragile macbook air screen cracked & I had to have it repaired.Anyway, of course I wanted a backup before sending it for repair. Give your Seagate Backup Plus a Name. You'll find it useful to give your Seagate Backup Plus drive a.
2- Some of my family still use the windows pc, and i would have liked to have still been able to use the hard drive across both formats. So if i format for Time machine, will this not then be possible?
