WD My Passport Ultra 2 TB not mounting end 2009 Macbook running Yosemite

• WD My Passport drive external drive will not mount once my Macbook Pro is already on

  Hello

  I actually had this problem for a year or two, but I'm finally getting bugged to this topic enough to see if it can be 'fixed '.

  I have a 2 to WD My Passport portable HD connected to my macbook pro via an external (wall outlet) powered TRUST 5 x USB3 Hub.  If everything is connected, when I start the macbook pro there is no problem and the WD My Passport is mounted in the finder.  But if I remove manually the hard drive and then try to mount it again while the macbook pro is running it doesn't mount not.  It used to, but he won't now.

  In the past the WD My passport would need to unplug and perhaps the USB3 hub would need power cable disconnect from him and the USB hubs out the macbook pro.  So when I joined this new and plugged the hard drive WD in the hub, it would rise very well.  But now it's just point blank refuses to ride until I restart the macbook pro.  Once I restart it it climbs perfectly and stays up forever--until it is dismantled manually - and then I have to restart the macbook pro again so he could mount once more.

  I tried all combinations of pull cables and adapters to power but nothing has worked.  After dismantling the WD hd and plug back on the USB3 light led on the hub hub lights up and the hard drive turns manually, but, as I say, it is not mount and it is not visible in disk utility.

  Any ideas please?  It's a bit annoying to have to keep restarting the mac whenever I had to unplug the hard drive WD.

  "As issued" WD Passport appear to cause a number of reports of trouble around here. You have already taken the first "not best" - using a powered hub. Just make sure that the hub is really power (lights on, for example). It could be that the external drive is in its death throws.

  This happen if the WD is the only thing on the powered hub?

  The Mac USB ports work with other devices?

  Here's what my experience with these things has believing me. WD made great bare discs, but I can't be so kind to their pens. Three questions:

  (1) I think that they should use chipsets which are not very easy to Mac.

  (2) most driving the ship formatted for Windows

  (3) even those shipped as "Mac editions have some odd which makes it difficult to access file formatting.

  If you do not have to share the drive with a Windows computer, you can reformat the drive and that often fixes "fail to mount/recognize" question. Disk utility is your tool of choice here because it is already installed on your Mac. Completely erase the WD drive by selecting the tab 'Clear' in the bar tabs to disk utility. Define the plan of Partition to GUID Partition map and journaled for Mac extended format. Press the button 'clear '. The reader will now will be rid of eccentric WD partitioning and formatting schemes and be a good Mac hard drive.

  If you share the road with a Windows computer, consider getting a better workout. After having fought external drives 'brand' on my computers and others that I maintain, I now use only boxes of other computer world with naked WD drives inside. Since this change, I have zero problems. For my MacBook Pro, I use this forum:

  https://eShop.MacSales.com/item/OWC/MEPMU3ES/

  I ordered the external power optionally for use at home and go on the road bus-powered. It's an empty envelope - just a hard drive of nu. They are more expensive than the stuff that Staples puts on sale every weekend, but are much more reliable. I ask the question. "What is my value data?"

• DeskJet HP3054A will not connect to the Mac running Yosemite

  The HP Deskjet 3054 lost connection for Mac.  Mac Airport utility assistance and the option WPS on the printer, the printer connects to the network, but when the countdown on the printer control panel reached about 15 seconds, he says "WPS Error" and the wifi of the printer is disabled.  Anyone know why the wifi the printer stops just before filling the countdown?

  Hello @3054AMacUser!

  I don't know what WiFi is turn off until you have completed the Setup, but I have another technique to get the printer on your network. I'm sure you know, a full pilot of features for the Mavericks is not available for your printer, or from the CD supplied with your printer from the HP website.  This document applies to the HP printers supported in versions of Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion), 10.9 (Mavericks) and 10.10 (Yosemite) with only drivers available via Apple Software Update.

  I can help you put the printer on your network wireless software. I use this method for iPads, iPhones and other devices that have no software.

  1. Restore default network settings on the printer by pressing the wireless button, by going to settings and then restore the default settings. The wireless button should start then flashes, this means that it is now in autowireless mode.
  2. To connect to the network that broadcasts the printer. It is usually HP-setup - 3054a and then a part of the MAC address, or a variant of the name of the printer. Always wireless light will blink on the printer at this stage, which is normal since it is not a real ad-hoc connection.
  3. Load up the built-in webserver (EWS) in the browser of your mobile device. The default IP for autowireless is 192.168.223.1.
  4. Go to the tab network along the top of the SAP.
  5. Click Setup wireless along the left side Assistant to start to set up the printer.

  

  You have now completed the configuration of wireless network, follow the next 3 steps to start printing.

  1. Blue wireless light will be solid, put the Mac on your network.
  2. Add the printer in system preferences.
  3. Print

  Please let me know if that solves the problem. I look forward to hear from you. If this resolves the issue, please make sure you click on the I accept as Solution button below so that others can see what has worked for you.

  Thank you.

• External CD drive will not mount on OSX

  An external CD/DVD drive will not mount on my iMac running the latest OSX update. I'm on my second CD drive (sorry Amazon). When I insert an audio CD, it is recognized. I am able to rip the CD fine, but then the Player responds neither to open unless I unplug the USB to which I am able to open it and change the CD I tried to use external power to the player. That

  s not the question. Disk Util sees only after fresh USB connection. Profile of sys can see at any time. Back to zero does not correct the problem is it better that disconnect and reconnect. All OS updates have been applied. No other devices or software problems. Y at - it a tip. This should be simple and Yes, CD player works on a Windows machine, but I have not yet tried on another machine from Apple.

  Post edited by: HOUSE is compatible OSX and the issue is not resolved.

  Is the devices designed to work with OS X?

• just formatted my WD my passport ultra 1 TB to my xbox 1. Its now not show on my windows vista computer

  OK, so I just format my WD my passport ultra 1 TB to my xbox 1. Its now not show on my windows vista computer, worked and connected very well before, but now nothing appears. Anything to help. Thank you

  OT:

  Please help with this

  Try this: go to "Start" then go to "Computer" right click on computer and left-click 'manage '.

  This will bring you to the management of the computer. From there, you should see the drive. Try "initialize disk".

  If you are not the "backup operator" or the "Administrator", then go to the control panel - system tools

  -Administrative Tools, then click on "disk management". From there, you can follow these instructions.

  Initialize new disks

  Backup operator or administrator is the minimum number of members required.

  To initialize new disks

  1. In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize, and then click Initialize Disk.

  2. In the dialog box initialize the disk , select the disk to initialize. You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

  	Note
  	The disk is initialized as a basic disk.

  Additional considerations

  • New disks appear as uninitialized. Before you can use a disk, you must first initialize it. If you start disk management after the addition of a disk, the disk initialization Wizard appears then you can initialize the disk.

• Pavilion G6-2123us: recovery of System Image of WD My Passport Ultra

  On my Pavilion G6 Notebook, I created a Windows 7 System Image and stored on an external USB WD My Passport Ultra.  When I boot my drive to repair (with the connected USB drive) and asks him to restore a System Image it says that it manages.  Because it's there (my Windows 8 machine can see the images on the USB drive), I guess that the G6 can not see My Passport USB drive.  I've updated the BIOS and other software recommended on the G6 as well as update the firmware on My Passport but no luck.   The G6 are able to see the key USB when I started upward in repair disk mode?   I give myself the option to load drivers for my external hard drive, but I don't know what that way with a USB connected any device.  If the G6 should be able to see the USB key, what should be my next step?

  I'll call this resovled.  The answer is that the native Windows tools to manage the system image in Windows 7 are really quite poor and you're better off using another product.  But whatever happens, to start on the ERD and see the USB you have to plug the USB on the right side (mouse) USB port.

• Fusion 6, USB 3.0 and WD My Passport Ultra 1 TB... IN CASE OF FAILURE!

  Has anyone found a verified correction to get a Western Digital my passport Ultra 1 TB USB 3.0 working with VMware Fusion 6?  I know it is problem or failure with VMware Fusion because it works very well in VMware Workstation 10.  A largely acquired VMware workshop, it's very disappointing.

  History

  Built the new virtual machine for Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 7 x 64 and conducted all Microsoft Updates using VMware Fusion 6.0.3 and OS X 10.9.2 with Late 2012 13 "MacBook Pro retina.

  Problem

  Connected to Western Digital my passport drive Ultra 1 to USB 3.0 to newly built VM.  The following error:

  The "(Western Digital My Passport 0741) device" could not connect to its ideal host controller. "

  

  Solution (that is, not really a Solution)

  Use VMware Workstation 10 on workstation hp Elite 8300 running Windows 7 Professional x 64.  No problem encountered.

  If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this very annoying VMware Fusion and USB 3.0 I would be very happy.

  It is probably because the linux distribution supports USB 3.

• sparsebundle disk image not mounting

  I've recently upgraded to Mac OS Sierra and now I can not mount an image of disk sparsebundle.

  I enter the password, and then nothing happens.

  I tried the same image on a Mac running Leopard and it opens fine.

  I tried a few other sparsebundle some and other encrypted disk images not. Some are open very well, but others do not.

  So, it doesn't seem to be a problem of sparsebundle encrypted disk image.

  Any suggestions?

  After investigation a little more the problem is Sophos AV

  Turn it off and the disk mount fine images.

  I hope this helps.

• External hard drive will not mount after the update of the Sierra

  Hi, I have an a Segate 1 TB external hard drive that I have with my MacBook Air. After upgrading to Mac OS Sierra, he refused to climb and is therefore invisible in the Finder. Disk utility detects the drive in NTFS initialized and said that all the space has been used. I tried to mount it first through disk utility, but it did nothing. Then I tried via terminal, but he returns "failed to mount. It worked fine before and also works very well on a MacBook Pro running Yosemite. It may be nothing to do with the player, as all files are intact when it is connected to the other Mac. Also, I restarted in Mac utilities and run from there disk utility, and it detected the drive, mounted and fully initialized, with the right amount of space being exhausted.

  I am looking for a solution that does not copy the files off and reformatting if possible, but I'll give it a go, if it comes to that. Thank you very much.

  Most likely your Seagate drivers are not updated.

  NTFS is most likely the culprit here.

  Go to the Seagate site and download and install the latest drivers for your drive and NTFS.

• EFI disk0s1 not mounted. screen shows gray with help file when I restart

  I had these problems with my recent Mac.

  1. it freezes for a few seconds. Then begins to work properly. And then freezes. The beachball keeps spinning and I can't access any of the applications.

  I tried restarting. But came up with another question. The gray screen of the charges and file aid continues to Flash.

  I tried from the recovery mode, but I get the Internet (OS X Lion). I'm under El Capitan. In disk utility, I check and repair the drive. Stop and try again. Now, there are two current icons and off - no logo entry sign and apple. If I'm lucky then after 40-50 seconds, Mac starts up.

  Now, I tried to make the EtreCheck, and he gave me more results for disc

  Disk information: ⓘ

  HTS545050A7E362 disk HARD APPLE disk0: (500,11 GB) (rotation)

  EFI (disk0s1) < not mounted >: 210 MB

  Macintosh HD (disk0s2) /: 499,25 (Go 110,18 free) - 70 errors

  Drive failure!

  Recovery HD (disk0s3) < not mounted > [recovery]: 650 MB

  HL-DT-ST DVD - RW GS41N)

  
  

  That's what worry?

  
  

  What can I do to fix these problems?

  Disk0 unit 1 is not the problem. This is the EFI partition, which is never mounted, because it is used only by the bootstrapper, long before that the file system is initialized.

  Your problem is 70 errors in disk0 tranche 2, the volume Macintosh HD. This hard drive (the entire disc) was his. Dead. in ruins. You need a new drive.

• Time Machine - there was an error preparing the Time Machine backup drive (could not mount the drive)

  I have a new HD but cannot set up encryption with system preferences. After ten minutes, I get the following error message:

  "There was an error preparing the Time Machine backup disk (disc name) - could not mount drive"

  Apparently, I need to set up the HD in this way:

  • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT)

  It is not an option for the HFS + and so I used; OS x EXTENDED (journaled). GUID is ok.

  Can someone let me know what I need to do.

  Thank you

  Formatting: GUID Partition Table, OS X Extended (journaled).    (it is HFS +)

  For TimeMachine at best to a partition only.

  Do it again if necessary, then disconnect, reconnect, Start Time Machine preferences and "select disk".
