Time Machine Is anyone running Time Machine from Mac OS X Lion to a USB hard disk connected to N900?

Yes, I tried. Contacted customer service, the whole nine yards. It DOES NOT work with Time Machine on Lion. Period. Even though the packaging misleadingly assured me that it was Mac compatible. I've been reassured that Netgear's engineers are working on the problem keeping in mind that Lion has been our for retail sales since July of 2011 with development versions well before that. I don't expect satisfaction with my complaint, nor do I expect to ever purchase a Netgear anything in the future.

Does not work with Lion: "Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) support coming shortly. It is not supported at this time"

No it does not work with any newer MAC OS. I tried it on the Yosemite and it DOES NOT work! Netgear, are you listening your customers at all? Amazon, fix the label, it does not work with the Time Machine!

I am using it to back up my entire HD with my MacBook Pro. I am not using it with Time Machine. Works fast and is excellent for my use.

Just to throw in my 2 cents here, the Disk Utility reformat mentioned above in Andrew's post is spot-on. The drive so far as been great to use. However, I'm running Mac 10.5.6 and it was immediately recognized when I first plugged it in: it mounted and Time Machine asked if I wanted to use it for backups...I did the reformatting anyway as the apps on board are no use to a Mac owner.BTW, the $99 price was unbelievable!Fingers crossed on reliability,Yikesboy

I didn't do that at all I just fallowed the instructions that came with it. Pluggin in my old drive via the USB stick. Mtn Lion, Mavricks, and Yosimite all can install via a wifi connection. So once the MAC boots up, if you connect it to the Internet it will restore itself from apples servers.

I use this strictly to do OSX backups using TimeMachine. This drive is formatted for use with Apple computers and is not formatted to be accessed by PCs. I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish, whether it is backing up data using backup tools or just trying to copy files to an external drive that either system can read. Regardless, this is not a good, cost effective, starting point for you. You would need to totally reformat the drive and consider if your PC supports USB 3 because this drive is built to support that higher transfer rate.

I just installed this drive in my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro. Here's the steps I used:1. Time Machine backup to external 1 TB WD Passport Ultra. 2. Download OS from App Store and make a bootable flash drive using Lion Disc Maker 2 to reinstall Mountain Lion.3. Install new MX100 SSD. 4. Boot while holding "Option" Key5. Install Mountain Lion from flash drive. 6. Boot up and install Time Machine backup from external driveEverything is exactly how is was before I upgraded to the new MX100 SSD.

Yes, I can also confirm that it works with OSX Lion. I didn't have to download USB Overdrive for it work. It worked with nothing additional needing to be downloaded. I used it with SNES9X emulator.

No.......Just select the drive you want to use when backing up on Time Machine

If you don't see the time machine icon when you are on windows, you may not be able to do it. I'd call an Apple store for assistance.

I use this as a time machine for an iMac. But it does not slow down the iMac at all.

Yes, I use it for that. I did use apple disc utility and partitioned mine for 1tb to be used specifically for time machine though. If you need all 4 for just backups it should work. That seems excessive though to me

My use of this drive has been exclusively on the Mac. However, I did not use any of the back-up software or formatting provided on the drive. It was necessary to use the Mac disk utility to reformat the drive. Then it worked with Apple's Time Machine.

No one has responded. My tech expert son believes that we will be able to do it. We will try this afternoon. I will hopefully be able to update you on our progress. Only other issue is that I do not have sufficient memory on my MacBook Pro right now...so we will try to transfer "through" the Mac to an external hard drive.

Time Machine is not designed to sync two computers, and that is not what the Time Capsule is for. For that, you want something like Apple's .mac service.

Mac OS 10.6 or newer - I have been using it with Lion for 18 months with no issues.
