Hopefully this doesn't count as EOL software. I'm using a M2 2022 MacBook Pro, model A2338. I've recently been given an old A1470 Apple Time Machine, which was apparently working the last time it was used but has sat in storage for several years. I've connected it to my computer with a USB-C to USB-A cable. However, it doesn't show up when i press Add Backup Disc in Time Machine (more specifically, it says that there are no available Time Machine destinations). Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks for any help.
