The Streak Continues: 341<\/h3>\n

Yesterday included a challenging morning dealing with my new Apple 15.4″ MacBook Pro Notebook Computer with Retina Display (Mid-2014)<\/a>. I wanted to do something very simple. Copy two Powerpoint (Keynote on a Mac) files to a one of my brand new Western Digital Ultra External Hard Drives<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

I just purchased four of the 2tb HDs–lord, storage is getting cheaper by the day…. Anyhoo, I copied the files easily in Finder, but when I navigated to the HD the “Paste 2 items’ was greyed out. Three hours later after struggling with the instructions in the Apps folder on HD, I called Western Digital customer support and spoke to Christopher in the Dominican Republic. He was nice, competent, and helpful. He taught me how to format and partition the external HD so that it would work with both Mac and PC. Success. But I’d much prefer plug and play :). If you would like to learn how to do this, shoot us an e-mail<\/a> with the words “Format External HD for Mac an PC” cut and pasted into the Subject line. <\/p>\n

I will be sharing the tale of my transition to the top of the line Mac with y’all here soon. <\/p>\n
