ok now I'm reading I'm supposed to have Time Machine on my Mac and it's some kind of back up program to use and organize for my hd but I can't find it!

where is it? it's not in the app folder - is it somewhere else ?

also I've been told I can't use my wonderful new external 250 g firewire drive because I just started using it to keep copies of my data on already - I'm supposed to have a separate drive JUST for back ups?

does anyone else do this? they are cheap so I don't mind but still - it seems a bit odd - sort of overkill -

thanks!!

System Preferences --> Time Machine

Not sure about the rest....I don't use Time Machine, but from what I have read you should be able to use that drive. If all else fails, just partition it.

[moosehead]

No, it's not there - and I browsed anything that even remotely might be associated with it -

Are you running Leopard?

[moosehead]

no - I don't think so - my os is 10.4.11 - isn't that tiger? and why are they named after animals????

anyway, if I click on "about this mac" it's not listed there under apps either - tho it's not in my finder window of course either

Pretty sure Time Machine is Leopard only dude.....time for an upgrade.

[moosehead]

I thought Leopard was Mac OS 9 - ??


ok, I found a file for my OS and yes, it's Tiger

I also found a download for an update which includes Time Machine but you're right - it appears to be in Leopard - perhaps that is the most recent -

anyway it's confusing am not sure what's with the animals and all -

thanks!

Not only will you need Leopard OS X, but you will need a good sized external hard drive for back-ups.

[moosehead]

ok, I have a 250 g, a 300 g and one 160 which is just for photo

I think I'm good for my back ups

kinda makes my mac's 120 look puny, huh?

oh well - what is it they say? it's not the size of the ship but the motion of the ocean?

I'm waiting for 10.9.13 - Mangy Tom.
