WD My Book 2T Model WDBF JK0020HBK-NESN compatibility with Mac OS 10.5.8

Apparently WD Tech Support declines to answer the following query. Does anyone know the answer? Thanks I've discovered that the new My Book 4T drives that I'd planned to used with my iMac running OS 10.5.8 are not compatible with that OS. I've got My Book 2T drives Model WDBF JK0020HBK-NESN conncect to a Windows 7 machine. Are those drives  compatible with my 10.5.8. iMac? If so, I'll connect them to the iMac and the new 4T drives to the Windows machine. Many thanks, Martin White

 
Hello and welcome to the WD Community.
Currently, this unit is advertise as compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.5 or later (requires reformatting) Anything else than that will be listed as possible. 
I haven't try using a my book on a 10.5.8 system. Let's see if any of the users can share some info about that

    My mac book pro, model #A1498, at startup shows a grey screen and a circle with a diagonal line through it. It shows this for about 15 seconds before it shuts off. My computer won't even get to the login screen. How do do I fix it?

  • I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station.

    I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station. The Keyboard and mouse work great with the laptop lid open but when closed in the docking station the bluetooth signal does not seem to transmit.  Is there a setting that can be changed to allow an Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to wake the computer while docked?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    does any one know how to fix a problem with my book pro that has a gray screen with a folder with a question mark on it?

    Hello Mokhtary123 and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    It will help us diagnose your problem to know the exact model, size, year built, RAM installed and OS you're running.
    But basically your system can't find the boot disk. Usually this is a symptom of a dead/dying/corrupted hard drive;

    Only you can make that determination. All things being equal the 2.5 GHz model is slower.

    Buy an external optical drive such as the Apple USB SuperDrive that is made specifically for that model.
    Use the optical drive of your old MBP to clone the DVDs to USB flash drives, then install from the flash drives.
    Connect both computers to your local network and then share the optical drive to install the software.

    After I updated lion to 10.7.4, app store does not recognize my ID APPLE and it unable to connect me to app store in order to update/download apps? What have I to do? I have the same problem with mac mini e mac book air. Please help me!

    Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
    my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

  • IPhoto 08 with Mac OSX 10.5.8 will not connect when attempting to "buy" a book.

    The title pretty much explains my problem. I've created and purchased books from my iPhoto in the past with no problems but it's been a year or more since the last one. I created a book, did all the layout etc. and when I click "buy book" it has a pop-up that says "connecting" but then nothing happens. It just continues to have the "connecting" popup with blue bars moving as if it's working. I've left it "connecting" for a good 10-15 min with no change. All my software is updated.
    Please show me the light.

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

  • I have been working on a book and have 418 photos already in my book.  All of a sudden I cannot access the book format to see the multiple view, spread view, or single view.  I can no longer see my book although I still see the collection with 418 photos

    I have been working on a book and have 418 photos already in my book.  All of a sudden I cannot access the book module and clicking on the multiple view, spread view, or single view does not take me back to the book I have been working on.  I can no longer see my book although I still see the collection with 418 photos under collections.  What I do see is a blank template for a new book and I can't find the unfinished book I started with 418 photos.  It is like the new empty template is somehow covering it up.  How do I get back to the book I have been working on?

    Is it possible you mistakenly clicked on a [Clear Layout] button?
    But a great hint is- Always click on the [Create a Saved Book] button, early in your new book design.
    Then you have a permanent link to the book in the Collections panel. (In addition to the standard collection of your selected images)
    Note: a Book Collection shows an icon that looks like a book.
    Every time you come back to edit the book, open the Book Module by clicking on the white arrow that appears on the end of your Book Collection title. (The title as saved)
    Re-opening a book without using the "Saved Book" option can have unpredictable results.
    A "Book" Collection is like a "Smart Collection" because anything you do to the book design, change pages, change images, etc,  is automatically updated in the Saved Book collection.
