Hi,
Weird question and I'm pretty sure it's more related to Mavericks than it is to the fact I'm using an MBP. Anyway, I bought a new (to me - it is secondhand) MBP because my old one is about to **** the bed. I did a fresh Mavericks install on the new MBP. I made a time-machine backup of everything like you normally would on an external WD Elements HD. Upon plugging the external hard-drive into the new laptop and selecting the harddrive as the backup disk and going into Time Machine, I get an error saying
"Can't connect to a current Time Machine backup disk".
It quickly goes into Time Machine (purple abracadabra and all) and then it immediately shuts down and gives the error message.
I've tried Googling and a few other people have gotten the same error, most of them accounting the problem to Mavericks. Nobody seems to have found a solution though.
And to clarify: this problem only turns up on the new MBP. I can enter Time Machine just fine on my old machine... Both run Mavericks.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Regards, Tijmen
