Hi everyone! I have a WD (My passport) and suddenly I started having issues to add new files to it. My Mac recognizes the External HDD and I am able to open files that are on it normally.The only issue is actually adding new files. It’s as if the HDD is on “Read only” mode out of a sudden. Does anybody have a hint on what I should do to fix it?
Hi, can you verify how the Passport is formatted (NTFS, HFS+ etc)? You can right click on the Passport and select get info. If it’s formatted on NTFS you wont be able to copy files, since this is a Windows format, HFS+ is the format that Mac’s use.
Yes, you can easily do it by following the steps from the link below. Note that this will delete any files that you might have in the Passport, so be sure to do a backup first.
