Seagate plus compatible with mac book pro

Is seagate plus compatible with mac book pro and how do I know its backing up, where can I see the backed up files?

Hello and welcome.
Click on the desktop - next to the Apple click  on "Finder - in the drop down menu click on "Preferences" - under "Show these items on the desktop" click on Hard disks and External disks. All disks inside the computer and connected outside will appear on your desktop. The external hard drive will be orange in color.
When you first connected that Seagate it should of asked you if you wanted to use that drive for Time Machine to backup to.

  • Is dragon speak family version compatible with Mac book Pro?

    I received the dragon speak software recently and was wondering if it was compatible with Mac Book pro. Any information is greatly appreciated.

    Works for me.
    It's not as good as the Windows version though. Unfortunately, there are no alternatives.

  • What printers are compatible with Mac Book Pro's?

    Hi All,
    Just looking to buy a printer for my Mac Book Pro but I don't know which ones are compatiable...
    Any suggestions or do you know where I can find a list of compatible printers??
    Thanks

    A better question is What Printer AREN'T compatible. Older printers mostly. The thing to do is check with the manufacturer, their website, to see if the printer you want to buy has current OS X drivers and or check with Apple support page to list printer that Apple has drivers for.

  • Wireless printer compatible with mac book pro

    what wireless all in one printer is compatible with a mac book pro(snow leopard)

    You would use AirPort Utility for this. It's located as follows on your Mac:
    Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons on the setup page
    Click the Options button
    The option to create a "closed" or "hidden" network should appear. If the box is checked, uncheck it to perhaps help your printer find the wireless network
    If you can connect to your wireless with your computer, you know the wireless is working correctly. You should probably contact HP for additional assistance as this appears to be an printer issue, not an AirPort Extreme issue.

    Hi @vinya,
    I see that you need the drivers for the Laserjet 1020 plus for Yosemite. I would like to help you.
    The Laserjet 1020 plus printer is only supported on a Windows computer. There are no drivers available for any Mac operating system. Here is the website showing the available drivers. HP LaserJet 1020 Plus Printer.
    You can check to see if Apple has a compatible driver. This document provides the steps for running the Apple Updates.
    HP Printers - Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update.
    You would have to get a printer that supports Yosemite.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • My camera Nikon D800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina... Why ?

    Somebody Know why my digital reflex Nikon d800 don't work with Mac Book Pro retina ?

    I shoot tethered which requires that the D800 be recognized by the laptop. 
    However, I just figured it out. Nikon changed their USB protocol so that the D800 doesn't show up as a mass storage device.  That said, the d800 IS recognized by image capture and be computer in general, just not like previous Nikon dSLRs.  If you're tethering via Lightroom make sure the Nikon tethering plugin is enabled (which it may not be if you previously shot tethered with Canon).

The only issue I'm having is there is not much setting in the mac book pro. I'm not sure what need to setup on the sever to make it connect correctly and assign it to the correct vlan when it's authenticated.

  • IPad 2 cannot sync with Windows 7 machine but can sync with Mac Book Pro

    I connected the iPad to my Windows 7 machine straight out of the box and tried to register it for the first time. It showed up in the device list for the first 3 minutes and then disappeared altogether. Thinking this is just some small error, I started troubleshooting using this guide http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
    after doing that 4-5 times, I still had not found a solution to the problem. I made sure that my computer had the Apple Mobile Device Drivers installed in it. After all my iPod can easily connect to iTunes, but not the iPad. There isn't a problem with the usb cable because I used the same cable on the iPod and it worked like a charm. The iPad gets recognized in the Device Manager as an Apple Product, but does not show up in iTunes at all. This problem has frustrated me quite alot. I also tried to use my friend's Windows 7 machine, but to no avail. It did not connect to his computer either. Finally as a last resort, I tried to connect it to a another friend's Mac Book Pro [iOS Snow Leopard], and like clockwork, it connected and showed up in his iTunes. This is what surprised and outraged me the most. After spending 5-6 hrs troubleshooting the connections on my Windows 7 machine, uninstalling and reinstalling applications, drivers and finally the OS itself, this iPad connects seemlessly to a Mac Book within 1 minute. I could synchronize data, songs and the like on the Mac Book, but I can't even get this iPad to show itself on a Windows 7 machine. I am truly at my wit's end with this problem. Could anyone please help me with it? I would surely be grateful.

    Here is my statdard reply, most of which you have already done. You may wish to try the others!
    Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
    And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

  • Using itunes with mac book pro and mac mini

    Hello
    I have had a Mac book pro with all my music on external hard drive, and running to my through my network of 1 apple TV, 2 airport expresses. Working great.
    Now I have got an old Mac Mini and hooked up the external hard drive that has all my music on it and hook it up to my network. I want to use the Mac Mini as a Music Server. The music plays on the mac mini not the Apple TV or the airport expresses.
    I think it's something small but any help whould be great.

    Dreamweaver CS6 is not retina ready. Dreamweaver CS6 Cloud I believe was patched at 12.1 for this. However, I do not believe Adobe sees this as a patch but rather as a new feature thus if you are using Dreamweaver CS6 you will not get this release until Dreamweaver CS6.5 or CS7.

  • External hard drive not in sync with Mac Book Pro

    I recently upgraded to a Mac Book Pro from my old and trusted ibook G4 but kept my portable external hard drive. With my ibook, my external hard drive's folders were all organised by name but since using my Mac Book Pro, my folders on my hard drive are all over the place and every time I reorganise them by name, it doesn't save and just reverts back to a disorganised fashion. Why? I didn't select my portable external hard drive to be my time machine because I was worried about erasing it. Any ideas?

    The drive is formatted for Windows (NTFS.) To be able to write to it on a Mac, you will either have to reformat it (erasing all data on the drive) or install third-party software. The choice of format depends on your intended use for the drive. For cross-platform compatibility, use FAT32 or ExFAT. For maximum OS X compatibility, use Mac OS Extended.

  • Problems with mac book pro (os x 10.5.8)

    g'day
    recently i have, for me serious, problems with my mac book pro (os x 10.5.8).
    discovered that it runs slower and somewhat unstable, i attempted housekeeping and burned large files on cd. furthermore i deleted some files i do not use to trash from 'application'
    now once i turn on straight i get a garbled screen with tool bar on top.
    if i start with installation disk 1, i get to the complete start-up and is operational.
    upon opening the 'dock' to open safari for example - comuter freezes for a few minutes with spinning rainbow wheel.
    what might be the problem?
    did run
    - safe start-up - no change
    - disk utility - all ok
    - hardware test - all ok
    - extended hadrware test - did not work
    - activity monitor - cpu - user 16%, sstem 4%, indle 87%
                              - system memory (2 gb) - free 850 mb, wired 172 mb, active 970 mb, inactive 51 mb
                              - disk usage (185 gb) - 135 gb used - 50 gb free
    what else can i do? anone encountered similar?
