Hi guys, I've just received my new Macbook and I'm having a little problem with Time Machine....
OK... I just re-formatted my 500 gig external hard disk and partitioned it so that 100 gigs is used for external storage of random stuff while the other 300++ gigs will be used for time machine... When I partitioned it, the Macbook did ask me which partition did I want for time machine and I selected accordingly....
However, when I tried to open Time Machine later, it says that "A storage location for Time Machine backups isn't set up." It asked me to click set up time machine which I did... But after I clicked that nothing happens? And it doesn't even have that bright dot in the dock that appears when the app is running in the background...
What am I doing wrong? Is there something wrong with my hard disk? Because the data was corrupted before...
