[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1900411, member: 396914"] Are you saying it is an old Apple Time Capsule? (Basically a router with a wifi unit to allow devices to connect, plus an internal drive) If that is what you have and if it can be connected to your home network, which it would seem to be with the statement that your sister's computer can see it. Is your sister's machine in the same location as yours? Are you using the same router now? The way Time Capsules worked was that when a Mac connected to them by WiFI, they made the internal drive available as a networked drive. That's how you could back up to it. But if you have replaced the router, or you are not in WiFi range to be able to connect to it, you won't see the internal drive. Nothing to do with operating system, it's just networking. So tell us more about the physical setup. [/QUOTE]
