Wd my book essentials and OSX Yosemite

i own a late 2008 imac and an older macbook.  only the imac runs yosemite.   the wd external drive works great on both these machines.  

the other day we purchased another imac and macbook air. and the drive does not even show up on diskutil, or anything… usb never shows up. hd turns on and lights up, but no activity on the two brand new machines. 

i have searched high and low through posts on wd community and apple forums…

no help.  

is there any type of real explanation from anyone involved with the products? or am i supposed to just go out and buy a new drive? some guidance would be appreciated regarding these matters. 

thank yo 

no ideas?

ill just keep bumping for some sort of help

Welcome to the Community. Since the device works on other 2 systems then I am inclined to believe the issue is related to the new system itself. Try changing USB ports and the cable in case there is a driver conflict as know with some USB 3.0 ports on Mac systems.
