ok i just got an airport extreme and a WD world edition to use as my time machine. the airport works flawlessly (took a min to setup but still awesomeness)
anyways i am having issues using this hard drive and was wondering if anyone else who has one had the same issues. i called apple and they said they don't support this and the guy at WD didn't know anything and ran me in circles for 45 min b4 telling me i had to call back on Monday and hung up with me...
the problem is i can see the drive in disk utilities to reformat it. and setting up Time Machine cant be done. even when it is plugged directly into the iMac it wont show in utilites
if anyone has any answers please advise.
if this does not work i will have to go back to best buy and get a usb external and plug that into my airport... Ethernet is so much faster
