I'm still running Mountain Lion on my 2006 (yeah I know ) Mac Book and I just noticed this past weekend my Time Machine is not backing up. I have a 2 TB Western Digital External Hard dive and it's not out of storage space so I'm not sure what needs to be done to correct the issue. My Mac Book message I received when I removed and then re-connected is stating that the drive is no longer readable. Is this due to the OS being used?

WD site does have mac user support -- have you done a disk doctor check on the drive? And what is the percent of WB drive filled - and your hard drive.
Still running Snow Leopard - and my issue with Time Machine seems to have been triggered by the drive getting more than 50% full - and having rapid changes/deletes.
Am now leaning toward re-initializing the drive - as time machine acts weird at times - its great when you are doing a lot of picture repairs where multiple backups let you get back to the ones you want - but not so great when you are not that active.
