Hi everyone... Here's my problem. I used to have a laptop that I would back up using an external hard drive that I had plugged into my air port. I recently purchased a new iMac and although I started over with a brand new set of backups, I kept the hard drive plugged into my air port rather than my computer (Originally, I preferred it this way so I wouldn't have to periodically connect my laptop). For the sake of improving the speed of the backups, I decided to just plug the hard drive straight into the iMac (since I won't be carrying it around with me!). Here's where things get messy though... Now whenever I enter time machine, it only shows the CURRENT files and there is NO history at all. Even if I do a new backup, the time machine will only show the current files. If I mount the disk image from the hard drive, I am able to right click on the time machine icon on the dock and "Browse Other Time Machine Disks" and see all of my old back-ups (from when it was connected to the air port) as well as the new ones (since it's been plugged directly into my computer). In other words, the back-ups have been continuous and did not start over when I moved the hard drive, but for some reason, my computer won't open those back ups when I enter time machine...
Any ideas how I can fix this??? Thanks!!!!
