Q: Iomega Portable Hard Disc now not appearing under 'Devices' after USB cable accidently removed.USB
My Iomega eGo Portable Hard Disc was connected by USB cable to my Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.5 and I was transferring my iPhoto file. Unfortunately, the cable dropped out and I received a message on my laptop that the hard disc had not been ejected properly. I reconnected the cable, but now it does not appear under devices on the finder page. I also checked disc utilities and it is not there either. I tried to connect the hard drive to my iMac, but it is not showing in devices on there either.
Although I have been using Macs since they first appeared on the market and can usually work things out, I am finding it increasingly harder with all the new technology. Everything used to be so easy, one of the great things Mac had over MS-DOS.
If anyone can help I would be most grateful, as I have lots of files on this disc from old Macs and have been using the Iomega to back up my most important files.
MacBook Pro, iOS 10
