[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1446656, member: 38864"] I trust the drive is formatted using [I]Mac OS Extended (Journaled)[/I]? How is it connected? What model iMac? What version OS X? Ideally, it should be connected using FW800. USB 3.0 isn't supported on any iMac yet, and transfer speeds would be abysmal if it's connected to a USB 2.0 port. If it already is connected by Firewire, then perhaps try a different cable. [/QUOTE]
