[QUOTE="mickibob, post: 1577023, member: 90459"] I have a My Book external hard drive and Time Machine which as I understand back up data to the My Book. When I open Disk Utility this is what I see on the left side of the window 320.07 GB Hitachi HDP825032GLA380 Macintosh HD PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-KO6A ---------------------------------------------------------- SKYPE _2-1.8.0.851.dmg installer.dmg There is nothing in the larger window. Here is the exact sequence of what happens when I open Time Machine Click on Time Machine and a window opens that says "You haven't selected a location for Time Machine Backups To select a location for backups, set up Time Machine Buttons Cancel Set Up Time Machine Click on Set Up Time Machine Button and a Time Machine window opens. The On / Off button is OFF. Turn button on and a blank window opens with three buttons the first two are highlighted. The same sequence below occurs if I click on the Select Backup Disk on the Time Machine Window. Set Up Time Capsule Cancel Use for Backup Click on Set Up Time Capsule and Airport window opens Click on Cancel and Time Machine turns to OFF Thanks for all your patience but I need a little hand holding on this. Do I need to go into Airport Utility to set up Tine Machine and even so, what happened to My Book? If Disk Utility doesn't see My Book, is it no longer there. [/QUOTE]
