Q: external hard drive
I bought a Seagate Backup Plus external drive, intending to use it for backups. The box says it can be used for a Mac. At first my Mac would not even acknowledge its presence. I downloaded a driver from the Seagate web site, and now my Mac sees the drive, but TimeMachine refuses to use it. What's going on? Am I missing something? Does TimeMachine require something specific from an external drive? If so, how do I get one that works? I think that in the past, I never had any problem using external drives,
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

The partition scheme should be default. Mac OS Extended (journaled) Partition Scheme GUID.
