Q: Cannot connect to airport extreme when selecting disk for Time Machine
I am switching to a different hard drive for Time Machine. The old one went bad (or maybe not, given that I still have a problem), and I reformatted one for Mac that appears fine. When I go into Time Machine preferences to select the new disk, it is there, but the connection cannot be made because of a problem connecting with my Airport Extreme, which is what the hard drive is plugged into.
Here is the message: There was a problem connecting to the server "Rebecca's AirPort Extreme". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
The server is fine for all other purposes. What is there to check?
Airport Extreme, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
