![]() ![]() For all intents and purposes it is an external hard drive so you shouldn't need the software installed to be able to simply store data manually on it. ![]() Hi there ballsofhair, It sounds like you are looking to use your WD Passport without the WD SmartWare software. On the rightL The options I am actually given. Screenshot On the left: What I am supposed to see, per their user manual. Did I buy the wrong kind or is there a better option? The thing went off for hours doing something, and while it eventually came back with all the info backed up, the SmartWare CDs disappeared. For some reason, the icon disapeared for the passport so I unpluged the usb and then reconnected. I have an iMac with a WD My Passport connected through Time Machine. Basically, I want to drop my iphoto library into it and forget it. I can't drag n drop files into the EHD either. Even after I install what they offer, no back up app is seen. When I attempt to install their software, the back up app is not listed as one of the downloads (See picture). ![]() I already use a different WD My Passport with Time Machine to back up my laptop and have had no issues, so that's why I went with another WD. I have: Macbook Pro -10.8.5 Trouble with: Brand new WD My Passport Ultra I got this with the sole intent of putting my iphoto library (95GB) and my home videos on it. ![]()
