WD MY BOOK failure to intall on iMac

I’ve used my WD My Book WDBAAF0015HBK-00 for a couple of years. Moved recently and (can’t remember, might have updated the OS to macOS Sierra 10.12.5) now iMac won’t automatically install the external drive. The WD Uninstaller was still on my computer so I uninstalled expecting maybe the iMac would ‘detect’ the drive again, and install. No trace of former WD MY BOOK files on iMac.

Hi maxthedrummer,

These drives are plug and play devices and they do not need any software to be installed on the computer. Please take a look on the link given below if the drive is not showing up on the computer:

thanks I got it
