Mac Forum / General / Hardware / November 2007My Book Pro & Leopard
Since upgrading to Mac OSX 10.5 the Button Manager has stopped working on my WD My Book Pro external drive. There is no information at the Western Digital site about this issue and I was wondering whether anyone else has had the same problem? Yeah, same problem. I have Mybook Pro and My Book Home and button manager is not working at all with Leopard. It's actually quite annoying since it was a really useful thing for me. Hopefully WD is working on an update sometime soon. > Since upgrading to Mac OSX 10.5 the Button Manager has stopped working > on my WD My Book Pro external drive. > There is no information at the Western Digital site about this issue and > I was wondering whether anyone else has had the same problem? > Yeah, same problem.

Good to know that I am not alone! It will switch off if I hold the button in for 5+ seconds though - we await the patch. For quite a major release Leopard seems pretty polished - just awaiting updates for The Missing Sync (Windows Mobile /PDA synching) and Super Duper although the Time Machine may well supercede this if I can muster enough disk space on the WD Passport. Super Duper is very good as it allows you to specify the files for backup rather than assuming you want the whole disk.

Time Machine can also do this - you can set up exclusions in the Time Machine section in System Preferences - it's under the "Options" button.

Same problem here. No button manager for Leopard. I really used this feature too, so I hope they come out with a fix.

Same problem here with the Mybook Pro drive. Hopefully WD will do something about it soon.

Have been searching the net and found this link to a patch that is supposed to work but I follow the instructions ans get a file not found error message in terminal. |
