[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1204058, member: 46727"] When you first setup Time Machine it was with the MacBook. Now you're wanting to use the same external storage for use on a different machine. Time Machine will naturally refuse because it recognizes that the machines are not the same. What you need to do is partition the iOmega into two separate drives, one for the MacBook, the other for the iMac. Then setup Time Machine on the iMac to backup to the partition you created for it on the iOmega. Or, buy a separate external hard drive for the iMac and use it for Time Machine. [/QUOTE]
