Hi Ronni, That item is already disabled. My Time Capsule and my old wired modem had both been playing up recently. So I replaced both of them with a Telstra WiFi Modem. So I plugged in this spare HD and switched Time Machine to it. I just can't figure why it un-mounts randomly like this ?
I have the very latest OX on the latest i7 iMac. On 15/08/2013, at 6:44 PM, Ronda Brown <ro...@mac.com> wrote: > Hi Stephen, > > What OS X are you running?
