At best this an expected change, at worst it is the Finder not correctly updating the icon (as you said it is not affecting the working of Time Machine as it is still doing its backups). At any rate, this is nothing to worry about. I think to remember reading that El Capitan has done away with the special colouring of the TM drive (or maybe that is just the suggestive power of your post that is misleading my memory). I personally have not installed El Capitan yet. Very occasionally, I have seen the colour not updating at all (a small cosmetic bug). When a drive is mounted, it can happen that it is first recognised as a 'standard' external drive (and thus coloured orange) and shortly afterwards as the system leans that it is the TM drive it changes its colours. The drive hosting the Time Machine backup got yet another colour (green) to indicate its special status. Internal drives are grey, external drives are orange. OS X gives different colours to mounted drives to indicate their status. Strange thing is, that it seems to do its backups according to schedule (Western Digital My Book 1144 Media 4Tb).Īny reasons for this? Does it have any meaning? Should I try to change it (the colour) anyway? How? It 's the HD I use for my Time Machine backups, like before. Before I downloaded El Capitan, the colour of my external HD icon was green (and.occasionally yellow).
