[QUOTE="srlanza, post: 1618485, member: 325389"] I'm not using the same cables. I did check the USB port when I had the problem w/the western digital drive and the port was fine. I've just changed it w/the seagate but I won't know right away whether or not that's the problem; the mac & time machine are currently recognizing the drive. I'll have to wait to see if the seagate drive disappears on this port. USB ports tend to be kind of finicky. Is there anything that can be done if one seems out of whack? Thanks very much for your reply. Fingers crossed it will work this time. [/QUOTE]
