I purchased a Seagate 1T external hard drive that was preformatted for MAC.
Also, I am running Snow Leopard right now on my MAC.
I backed up my files using Time Machine....No Problem..
Now I want to view the photos or Movies that are backed up.
When I try to open a photo, I-Photo launches and I get a message that I need to select a different Library.. I do this by holding down the Option key and opening I-Photo. I am given a screen that allows me to select a new library. I click on the Seagate device, but the file does not open... It goes back to the original message about needing to select a new library...
I am confused... It seems I am doing exactly what I need to do, but I keep getting this loop.
Am I doing something wrong? Is their a better / easier way?
