[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1258613, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums. Backup the data you wish to keep on the MyBook first before doing anything. If you wish to move your iTunes library you can do that by copying the entire music library to a USB flash drive. Make sure that everything has been copied. There is no need to download anything as your Mac can format drives directly from Disk Utility which is built in. When you're sure you have everything you need from the MyBook safely backed up, attach the MyBook to your MBP, open Disk Utility from Applications, Utilities, and erase - format the MyBook. Format it to the Mac OS Journaled file system. You can move your iTunes music library contents to the Mac from the flash drive and then authorize the Mac from within iTunes. [/QUOTE]
