Hi all
I was in the middle of downloading music and a dialog box alerted me that I had absolutely no space left on my hard drive of my 500 gb MBP!
So I get the 1 tb Seagate Backup Plus external hard drive that i acquired this week and I plug it in to my laptop.
First, Time machine asks if i want to back everything up (which i have not done yet) and I say ill decide later.
Now I am at the point where seagate is asking me a question of how I will use my seagate drive. they give me an option to choose to back up to my mac only and says this : Erase the drive to prepare it for use with all your Mac applications, including Time Machine and the included Mac backup software from seagate.
Does this mean that by pressing continue , it will erase everything on my hard drive right now?
and where should I go from here? I have never backed up anything on my laptop. I use it mainly for Final Cut Express, photoshop, & lately After Effects. I have tons of pictures and videos that I want to put on this external hard drive to make room for simple stuff like music.
Any feedback/help/guidance would be greatly appreciated!
