## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does a cable come with it?**
A: Yes it comes with a very short cable which will connect it to USB (the normal, rectangular kind). Also, know this isn’t the question but FWIW, I’m using it with my Mac PowerBook as a "Time machine" back up, but I had to format it with the disk utility first.

**Q: Could i use a wd usb-c cable with this?**
A: It appears the My Passport and the My Passport Ultra take you to the same Questions and Reviews. Amazon seem to do this a lot and need to fix it. The Ultra supports USB-C (and seems to be more expensive). Check before you click to buy. One last thing, it's not worth paying more for the Mac versions, though you may need to reformat.

**Q: I've a pc and a mac...can i format it in 2 partitions ? one mac formatted and another windows pc formatted ?**
A: This should be possible, though if you want to use the drive with both mac and windows devices you would be better off formatting the partition in exFAT format, which allows both OSX and Windows read and write access.  Of course, this is best done when the drive is new and has no data on it, otherwise you would lose data stored on the device!

**Q: Just took delivery of this for my mac running catalina.. can't import my files(images) from icloud because it keeps asking for social media**
A: It will auto back up all your files on your Mac if you connect to Time Machine, are your files in iCloud different from those on your Mac?
