My Passport SE for Mac 1TB not reading in MacBook Black OSX

Morning … and more problems.

This “My Passport”, I guess like many users, is partitioned. Whilst TM has sorted a backup of the Leopard side of my Macbook, I am obliged to fall back to a trusted Retrospect for the Tiger side. I watched the backup as far as 15GB of 106GB and carefully leaving my Macbook set to not sleep with mains connected, left the process to run overnight.

As soon as I was out of the room, the My Passport went to sleep. Great.

SmartWare at work again I suppose although I thought that I had disabled all that.

This really is a completely rubbish drive for Mac users. WD if you build a drive for WIndows users, please don’t also market it as Mac compatible.

It is not - if only one can see these forum comments about all the problems then I would have never bought the wretched unit.

Check out my eBay when I get back from this next trip … there’ll be a My Passport 1tb going cheap
