Can the My Book Studio have packed up completely?? It isn’t showing on the desktop, clicking on Back up Now in the Timer machine icon gives me a message “Back up disk not available Try backing up again when “My Book Studio” is available.
It is plugged into the mains and the iMac, but seems not to be recognised / functioning.
