WD MyBook will not mount on Mac

I have two WD MesLivres, attached to a Mid-2015 15 "MacBook Pro (MBP) running El Capitan 10.11.5." Both drives are formatted with OS X Extended (journaled). We had a power failure last night. This morning, I restarted the MBP and the 2nd MyBook would not rise. I rebooted and stirred around, nothing helps. The player turns on and seems to turn but does not show in disk utility or command terminal disk utility. I have dl had HFSExplorer and installed on a Windows 7 laptop. This utility allows to read but not write on a windows pc, a Mac formatted disk. I joined the MyBook2 laptop Windows 7, launched HFSExplorer and, Lo and behold, he can read the disc in mac format. So, what can I do to get the MacBook Pro to mount this drive? I am at a loss!

The fixed! Nothing very elegant. I shut down the MacBook Pro (MBP), swapped the USB 3 cable the recognized MyBook (Mo1) with the unrecognized MyBook (MB2), restarted the MBP and the MB2 is recognized. I swapped the cables for their original and all drives work. Why? I have no idea!

  • After downloading firefox Betaicone will not mount on Mac ibook G4

    Downloaded firefox beta and the icon doesn't mount not so it will not install if I should try another version

    Unfortunately, last version of Firefox (version 10) supports only Mac OS X 10.5 or higher Intel processor. The system you are currently using is no longer supported by Firefox.

    For now, Firefox 3.6 is to be maintained and supported by Mozilla. You can upgrade to it as follows:

    1. Open the Applications folder.
    2. Drag the Firefox application to the Trash.
    3. Download and install Firefox 3.6 from here.

    Note that Firefox 3.6 support will cease soon (April 2012). After that, you can use another browser like Firefox on your system (TenFourFox). Remember that TenFourFox is not prepared or approved by Mozilla in some way.

  • 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.

  • 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?"

  • iPod Classic will not mount in OS 10.4.11

    Greetings friends,

    When I connect my iPod 160 GB Classic on my Mac G4 Desktop, the iPod does not rise. iTunes will not open and the iPod does not appear when I open iTunes manually, but the iPod screen shows that it is connected and synchronize for a brief moment. The screen of the iPod drives me to eject before disconnecting, but he does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop. Running OS 10.4.11 on my Mac G4. Everything worked fine, but then one day it just is not. Help, please. I'm afraid to reset for fear that I have lost all my music, photos, contacts and he still couldn't climb.

  • Drive external DRIVE will not mount after resizing in Windows

    Hi all

    I got a 1 TB external drive that I used for a while about 10 Windows and OSX (El Capitan). I had two partitions Configuration for use on every platform without any problems.

    Then, I needed extra space on the Windows partition, so I think that, if I remember correctly, that I've resized using the disk management tool in Windows. I reduced the OSX volume and increased the size of the Windows volume. I can probably hear you all shout now.

    Surprise, my volume OSX will now not mount when I run in El Capitan. It does not show in disk utility, and the only way to 'see' it is using diskutil:

  • HP Office Jet J6480 All In One - will not analyze with Mac OS 10,8.3

    I could not get my HP Office Jet J6480 All In One scanner after upgrading to 10.8.3.I followed other positions and have installed the most up to date driver (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907) , but whenever I try to scan from the HP Device Manager or photosmart studio, it says "sorry, scanner could not be initialized. (scanner not found) "I tried to make sure there is no other updates by clicking settings in the Device Manager by clicking on check the updates but it says 'server not available - service software is currently not available. "Please try again later" and I got this error for the last week.

    I followed the second set of instructions available here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Software-Update-Server-Unavailable/td-p/18... to try to resolve this problem and install the software found on the link. I restarted my computer and I always meet the same problem.

    Note: My printer is wireless and I have not hooked by a cable. Will make a difference?

    My printer seems to be printing very well.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi, Frank. What is the version of the App Store?

    You probably need to reinstall. Your download should always be available in the Mac App Store under "purchases".

    Apple has had problems with security certificate expired affecting all applications downloaded from the Mac App Store. Here's a solution that worked. Give it a try by following each step:

    I had the same problem on the Mavericks and your suggestion worked for me.  FYI, I deleted the items, empty trash, disconnected from the App Store, restarted the computer, signed in to the App Store, then downloaded items.  I use OS x 10.9.5 and 11 elements.  Hope this helps!

  • notes from the iPhone will not sync for Mac

  • Scanning profiles will not be displayed - Mac OSX 10.5.8 - Photosmart Premium C309g-m [2D516B]

    Hello world

    I was wondering if someone could get an idea about this problem.  I can't use my driver 'HP StudioScan' because the 'profiles' will not load.  It goes like this:

    • I opened StudioScan HP.
    • A window opens that says: "none of the profiles customized for the device selected."
    • He invites me to choose the device, what I'm doing.
    • But then nothing happens - I am unable to select all profiles or click 'profile settings' or anything like that, so I can't scan.

    I tried to remove and reinstall all of the HP software.

    It worked all fine until yesterday.  I don't know what happened.

    It is a separate issue, but I also tried to analyse using ImageCapture in the overview and who says "no device found" and does not give me an option to try to find the device...

    Very frustrated!  Please help and thanks in advance.

    Updated - when I said that I already tried to uninstall, what I actually did was to place the entire Applications HP in the trash and then empty the trash folder.  I had not used the real HP uninstaller program.  So finally I used HP uninstaller and now it works!  Yay!  Thank you!
