[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1623308, member: 234411"] First talking about my wife's iMac (early 2013) which has been taken from 10.8.x and is now on 10.10.1 - I've used Time Machine (TM) from the start w/ a 1 TB Seagate external HD (Mac OS formatted) - I just check this computer every other day but the HD when recognized is on the desktop as an icon, but just intermittently disappears for no reason - why? The HD is plugged directly into a USB slot on the back of the iMac & TM seems to be working fine, i.e. when connected and working! This has been occurring through 3 versions of OS X, so what is the issue? Options seem to be TM, my computer, and/or the Seagate HD - I'm sure others have had the same issue. Now, not a big problem if I go in and look - simply disconnect & reattach and the drive icon reappears - curious & thanks. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
