Wd Apps Setup For Mac
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this problem. I bought the WD My Book World and want to connect it using Time Machine. I am running Snow Leopard and am up to date. I connected it through my Airport Extreme (but then connected it through my router to see if that would make a difference, as I read on Apple support that you can't connect an external backup drive to Airport Extreme). I mapped the drive as WD described and went in and changed my password (why, I don't know). I am currently seeing MyBookWorld and MyBookWorld-Backup in my Finder window. However, when I go to set up Time Machine, it only shows MyBookWorld-Backup and when I try to enter the user and password for the WD device under Time Machine, it says: Time Machine can’t access the backup disk “WD_Backup”. The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error 2.). Before I had mapped the drive, I could see both. I can log into it by double clicking it in the finder window and can drag and drop into it. Why can't I seem to get Time Machine to recognize it? Would it be better for me to use the WD Anywhere backup that came with the drive instead of Time Machine? If I'm doing something wrong (totally realistic), can someone walk me through the steps to set it up?
Thanks! This is my first post to the forum and I'm hoping for the best!

- Click the System Preferences icon at the Dock or click the Apple menu and select System Preferences from the drop-down menu.
