[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1118838, member: 46727"] First, we need to know how the WD Passport is formatted. Some are formatted to FAT-32 while some of the newer ones are NTFS. Time Machine will only back up to a drive that has been formatted to the Mac file system. That file system is HFS Extended Journaled. Attach your WD Passport drive to your Mac via a USB cable. When the drive appears on your desktop, right click on the drive and select "Get info". Now tell us which format it's using. Post back and we'll go from there. And, welcome to the Mac Forums!
