Hello,
I am switching to a Mac (iMac) from Windows...I have had ENOUGH of Windows 8 and can't take it anymore.
I plan on purchasing a Time Capsule after I get my iMac at some point but until then I wanted to know how my Maxtor One Touch 4 (1TB) will work with the iMac? Or will it even work with the iMac? Currently I use the drive for just backup reasons (I manually backup my files-I don't use software to do it) nor would I do it that way with the iMac either...manual only/drag/drop that kinda thing.
If the drive will work with the iMac, do I have to reformat it first before the OS recognizes it or can I just plug it in and go? If I have to reformat it, I'm going to be in trouble because I have no other drive to use to get the data back onto the drive and then get that data onto my iMac.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
