I do not find a way to eject my WD My Passport Ultra from my MB Air.
I am unable to manually eject my external hard drive used to run TM. It is not on my desktop or in my devices, nor anywhere I look.
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15
Start Disk Utility (/Application/Utilities/Disk Utility.app) and look at the left side bar. Do you see your HDD?
If yes – unmount it and then you may disconnect it.
If no – select -> About This Mac -> System Report -> Hardware. Do you see your HDD in USB or Thunderbolt section?
If yes – your HDD is present in OS X but not mount and not visible, in the Disk Utility.app too.
If no – your HDD not exists from OS X point of view.
Try to verify you HDD in Disk Utility.app.
Select FirstAid tab and press Verify Disk button.
Perhaps this will help locate a problem.
OK Thanks - I found it by selecting -> About This Mac -> System Report -> Hardware and found the WD in USB.
Now, how do I control it?
As I see your HDD is not visible in Disk Utility.app. Right?
Further depends of your plans. What do you want to do with this drive?
Control this External Drive, Eject it now.
Where do I find the Disk Utility.app?
/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app
