Hard drive is not showing up on my computer
I'm using Mac OSx Yosemite Version 10.10.2 and the last time i conntected my WD External Hard Drive was just 5 days ago and I disconnected correctly etc. So it wasn't till today that I reconnected it to my laptop and it doesn't show on my desktop. The light blinks on the hard drive and I hear it spinning but doesn't show on my desktop. I have important files in this drive. What can I do?
Cette question est-elle utile ?

Ugg. This is the worst. Same with me, the passport unit it's self seams to be working fine. Light is glowing, slight vibrating, but does not show on my computer at all.

Hello, I just had the same problem and thought all it's lost. But I plugged the hard drive in my husband's mac and it was working. I shut my mac book off and sprayed both usb ports with dust off air-spray. I just turned it on again and the hard drive is discoverable again.

none of the answers solve the problem, for me, same problem except i get the wd smartware on my desktop when i plug it in, i even enter my wd security password, but the folder doesnt show up, but instead, i get another wd smartware which dont even work... disk utility also shows 2 wd smartwares.
if your disk doesnt work you can download iboysoft data recovery and you get 1 GB free to recover but you will have to pay 70 bucks to recover all your data...
