Seagate Backup Plus Instructions
Apple easy to use Backup software. The backup solution that Windows users are jealous of. As a Mac and Windows user, I have searched for years trying to find a Backup software package for my Windows system. Apple Time Machine needs a reliable hard drive that you can trust. The Seagate Backup Plus Slim fills that bill. Combining on-point performance and strong encryption, Seagate's Backup Plus Ultra Touch portable drive is a great choice for everyday backups and security-first use alike. Plus, a fabric coat adds.
I bought a Seagate Backup Plus for Mac external hard drive and the computer was recognizing it just fine, all I had to do was plug it in and it lit up. The icon showed on the main screen, and it was automatically backing the computer up.
Spontaneously that has stopped. It is still plugged in and lit up but Finder does not recognize the hard drive. It isn't showing up on my screen. Time Machine says it isn't here.
I already attempted to try different USB ports since it is USB connected, in case those were damaged. But I don't think there is any damage to either end of the USB connection because it is lighting up when I plug it in.
Around the same time that the computer stopped recognizing the Seagate drive, it started moving slower. Convert avi to apple format. My internet crashes pretty frequently while other computers in the house are running fine on the modem, videos become choppy and the audio is sometimes off, and things take longer to load, or sometimes it just gets stuck loading. I don't know if this is part of the problem or not.. I did opt for the smaller hard drive which is why I am using an external.
