“is there any way to format in such a way that Time Capsule will backup a MacBook Pro?”

1-2 of 2 Answers

• Yes, but for this particular model you'll need to reformat it first. Use the Macbook's Disk Utility and reformat to Mac OS Extended Journaled. From there you just need to go into the Time Machine settings and choose it as your backup drive. Some come already formatted for Mac, but many do not.
