Hi All
Please can someone offer some advice:
I have a Mac Mini with 1TB hard drive, connected to my network via wireless (as it is in the dining room and my router, which is BT, is in a different room).
I want to put my Itunes library on an external hard drive to free up space on the mac mini.
I have a Seagate Goflex Desk Drive 2TB which was linked directly to my router and accessed via our windows laptop, until we changed over to Apple.
I plugged in the Seagate drive via USB lead, but the Mac mini did not recognize it. i no longer have any windows pc at home only at work, and was hoping that i would not have to reformat as i have about 500gb on there.
I was hoping that i could just plug in the Seagate drive and the mac would see it and away we go.
Can someone please advise the best course of action? The idea was that we would attached the Seagate drive to the Mac, move our music and movies onto it, and then access them all from our other devices i.e Ipad, 2 x Iphones, maybe even PS3 with the relevant software
Am i missing something?
