I have exactly the same problem and already do the Time Machine backups but bought the Seagate Plus Slim in order to save all my photos and videos on an external hard drive so I can get them off my MacBook Air and have them in 2 places. Just followed the steps to erase the drive and then selected 600 photos to export but it didn't work --- a window came up explaining the export operation failed and it listed the first 100 photos with error explanation on each that the file 'couldn't be opened because there is no such file'. What could this mean?
