Back To My Mac From Windows Computer

Back up mac computer

My first NEW computer since 1991. My last new computer was an Apple Mac Quadra 840AV. I built my own Windows machines in the 90’s and 2000’s. Bought used Mac’s off eBay after that. 2007 and 2012 MacBooks. This is an incredible computer. I highly recommend it. Fantastic keyboard. Love it!

Worked perfectly and was super easy to break down into 3 separate volumes using Windows 10 Computer Management program. My choices were 2tb for General Purpose-2, and 5tb each for Back-up-1 & Back-up-2

I love this. I use it for everything and I love that it can be used by both windows and mac.

My UPS APC Back-Ups (I have five) have been protecting my computer for more than fifteen years now. Even though there are newer models, I don't need any better than I have. I am very pleased to know that APC provides support and batteries even for what I assume are "legacy" UPS. The ease of finding the correct battery and sending the expired battery back to APC had always been a real plus for me as I am disabled and don't drive. In an era when "just buy a new one" seems to be the usual corporate approach, I appreciate APC.

This product worked without additional software needed on a Mac with the latest OS software installed, and on a Windows 11 computer with all of the latest updates applied. It works with both my USB A Mac adapter, the USB C connectors on my Mac, and on the USB A connections on my Windows computer. I am able to utilize an older synthesizer that I can now move around the home with ease and connect it to whichever device I need to (even my iPhone apparently).

As many of the other reviewers of this product mention, I too went to search for a driver. After wasting time doing that, I realized that when I restarted my computer, it just magically recognized the device and when I inserted a DVD, or CD, I was able to burn them to my computer. It seems to work on my Windows 7 and Mac operating systems just fine. I have a MacBook Pro without a built-in CD/DVD drive, so this works nicely. I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 (mac) and Windows 7 in Parallels and have been able to burn discs nicely. I would advise forgetting about the usual driver headache that we come to expect when we get new devices and if your computer does not recognize/"see" the device in Finder (mac) or Explorer (windows) when you first plug it in, try a restart and try to plug it in and start playing with it! Sometimes we like to complicate things that do not ask to be complicated...at least that was my experience.

I switch between a Window 7, Windows XP, and Mac computer with no problems. Once I turned off the mouse emulation I was able to use MS Sidewinder. No problems with wired or wireless keyboard/mouse.

so far so good. works on any computer i've tried, mac or windows. Very quiet, portable, and well built. I don't see it being an issue, but wish the usb cable was not proprietary. but, i will just leave the one end always plugged in to the drive so as not to cause it wear. seems fast enough for my use.

Back-up my Mac system reliably and smoothly while I edit.
