[QUOTE="benorubin, post: 894723, member: 19271"] I have a Seagate FreeAgent FW HD connected to my Airport Extreme. It seems that once the HD goes to sleep (there is no on/off switch) Time Machine cannot wake it up to run the backup. If I unplug the power supply to the HD and reconnect, I still need to manually connect to the HD (using Finder/Go/Connect to Server) before Time Machine will do a backup. Did I miss something when I set it up. Other computer in the house cannot see the HD until you reset the power and do a manual connection. HELP!! [/QUOTE]
