Completely erase the WD drive by selecting the tab 'Clear' in the bar tabs to disk utility. Disk utility is your tool of choice here because it is already installed on your Mac. If you do not have to share the drive with a Windows computer, you can reformat the drive and that often fixes "fail to mount/recognize" question. (3) even those shipped as "Mac editions have some odd which makes it difficult to access file formatting. (2) most driving the ship formatted for Windows (1) I think that they should use chipsets which are not very easy to Mac.

WD made great bare discs, but I can't be so kind to their pens. Here's what my experience with these things has believing me. The Mac USB ports work with other devices? This happen if the WD is the only thing on the powered hub? It could be that the external drive is in its death throws. Just make sure that the hub is really power (lights on, for example). You have already taken the first "not best" - using a powered hub. "As issued" WD Passport appear to cause a number of reports of trouble around here. After dismantling the WD hd and plug back on the USB3 light led on the hub hub lights up and the hard drive turns manually, but, as I say, it is not mount and it is not visible in disk utility.Īny ideas please? It's a bit annoying to have to keep restarting the mac whenever I had to unplug the hard drive WD. I tried all combinations of pull cables and adapters to power but nothing has worked.

Once I restart it it climbs perfectly and stays up forever-until it is dismantled manually - and then I have to restart the macbook pro again so he could mount once more. But now it's just point blank refuses to ride until I restart the macbook pro. So when I joined this new and plugged the hard drive WD in the hub, it would rise very well. In the past the WD My passport would need to unplug and perhaps the USB3 hub would need power cable disconnect from him and the USB hubs out the macbook pro. But if I remove manually the hard drive and then try to mount it again while the macbook pro is running it doesn't mount not. If everything is connected, when I start the macbook pro there is no problem and the WD My Passport is mounted in the finder.

I have a 2 to WD My Passport portable HD connected to my macbook pro via an external (wall outlet) powered TRUST 5 x USB3 Hub. I actually had this problem for a year or two, but I'm finally getting bugged to this topic enough to see if it can be 'fixed '.
