Wd Nas Reader For Mac
Adobe Reader For Mac
I had ( have) one of the Time Capsules that went sideways on the power supply issue.
So I bought a 2 TB WD NAS drive since I didn't need the router built into the drive.
I cannot get the darn thing to work properly with Time Machine. We have 4 macbooks in the house and I would like them all to back up ( as they did with the time capsule) but they won't.
Two of the machines will simply fail.
One tries and then fails.
The other is hit and miss.
I would like to simply re-format the NAS drive and start clean to see if that will work, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to format the darn thing.
It has an ethernet connection, a USB connection for daisy-chaining and of course the over the air connection.
I cannot get the darn thing to show up in disk utility.
Is connecting with Terminal and formatting that way the answer?
If so, can someone give me some UNIX tips.
I'm about ready to drop kick this unit.
