Just bought a My Passport 1TB, plugged into USB on my iMac, and it is not recognized.
Model #wdbgch0010bsl-nesn
Light flashes, makes spinning noises, but nothing,
iMac is running 10.8.4
It is a mid-2010 27" iMac
Thanks!
Hello,
I recommend that you try some basic troubleshooting:
1- Disconnect the drive from the computer and restart the computer.
2- Please try connecting the drive to the back USB port of a desktop computer for testing purposes (directly to the computer, not through a USB hub).
3- Go to "Disk utility” to verify if the drive shows up there.
If the drive shows up in disk utility but it is not seen on your desktop, then it means the partition is corrupted and you will have to format it in order to use it again. Please note that formatting the drive will delete all data stored on it.
Sorry for not getting back sooner, and thanks for your reply.
But unfortunately none of these solutions worked. Any other ideas?
