[QUOTE="basils, post: 1598543, member: 330855"] no i dont need to have it formatted that way, just been looking around and it struck me to try reformating it, but as i say it wont let me do that either! says i can not unmount the drive. :( regarding the OP thing, i am having the exact same problem, "It was working fine for months and then a few months ago I noticed that if I tried to update any of the programs or install new ones that weren't purchased from the App store, they will not install. I get to the point where the authenticator asks me for my password, I type in the correct one and nothing happens. It just goes back to the screen before it asked me the question. Initially I thought I had the wrong password, but if I type in the password incorrectly then it shakes like it is supposed to letting me know that the password is wrong. It does not do this with the proper password, it accepts the password, but nothing happens." thats the problem that made me decide to try and back up my art and reformat the whole freakin computer cos im getting frustrated with it. but now i have this drive and it says i have to install that driver, which i cant because of the original problem.... kinda feeling like tossing the whole bunch out the window haha. thank you very much for your help by the way :) [/QUOTE]
