I'm having trouble making TM work with my new iMac. I have an external drive, Freeagent GoFlex Drive, that is recognized on the desktop and in the drive utility. Time machine just "spins it's wheels" and doesn't seem to transfer any information. I have run repair disk on both drives and repair permissions. Any ideas how I can make this thing work?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.2)
By the way, I tried to run an update on TM and when I tried to install it, I got an error message: "Time Machine and AirPort Updates can't be installe don this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer. I'm running 10.7.3.

Did you format the HD first. It has to be formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If you're not sure how to do this please read:
