Hello, I have a Mac G5 OS X, v10.4.11, pre-intel, so no PC capability. I am using a WD 500gb MY Book Studio as a back up for photos. I have run out of space because I mistakenly set up two different back up programs so, essentially, everything was backed up twice. The hard drive tells me I have 9 gb left, thus it is not being recognized. So, I opened the external HD and deleted a bunch of photos by dragging them to the trash can and emptying the trash can. The hard drive still tells me I have 9 gb left and I still can't do any backing up to it. How do I get that space cleared or opened up again so I can use it? Please be very specific as I am not anywhere close to good with computers. Thanks in advance.
Configuration: Mac OS X Safari 525.22
The problem is that the Hard Drive is not formatted to Mac format, but Windows (FAT). You would have to back up all your files, then format using the the Mac, THEN it should work. I've had this happen to my memory stick, which I had formatted in Windows, but tried to delete in Mac--NO free space was gained. |
