Hi guys,
Parents are having problems with their iMac. It has a Western Digital external HD and they are using Time Machine. For some reason it simply refuses to back up the last 80 or so GB.
I have reformatted the drive and started the process again and it still only backups about 200GB and then freezes at about 80GB to go. I'm not sure it has frozen as such but it is going at a rate where the computer estimates it will take 6 months to complete the backup.
I'm not expecting miracles but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask in here in case this is a common problem.
Cheers
Edit - Their OSX in the about this mac says 10.7.5 yet mine on my MBP says 10.8.2. What's the difference and how do I update theirs?
