[QUOTE="MacWannabeNTX, post: 1491307, member: 291105"] Thank you and that does clarify setup for me. I have another question - since I only have 2 usb ports on the MBP. I have my printer connected to one port and my logictech wireless mouse connected to the other. Once I would get the external hard drive setup and time machine, dont i have to leave it connected all the time for automatic or is that just overnight for backup or do I request backup manually? And if I have to leave the ext HD connected all the time, can I take the usb that printer is connected to out w/o having to go thru printer setup when I plug it back to usb port? Sorry if these seem stupid, I always overthink. Or could I ethernet connect the ext hd? [/QUOTE]
