External Hard Drive Disappears

Hi - I just got my iPad Pro 11in and am trying to use an external hard drive. It’s a 2TB hard drive that’s formatted Mac OS Extended - it shows up and works fine on my MacBook but when I plug into my iPad it appears momentarily but then disappears. I’ve tried using an externally powered USB adapter but the same thing continues to happen.

Any suggestions? Thanks

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Why won't my iPad show my external drive in Files? Historically, I've been able to connect my external drive to my iPad and browse the stored files under the Files app. More recently whenever I connect it I can see that the drive is powered on but I can't access anything on my iPad. Why did it suddenly stop working? I've never formatted it for a PC and as far as I know it still connects to macbooks.

IPadOS - Files App stuck with SSD/HDD no longer connected I tried to connect several devices to my iPad via USB-C. Thumb drive worked fine, SSD as well but with a HDD I tested, something went wrong. I disconnected the HDD but now whatever I connect to my iPad is no longer correctly detected. Instead the files app shows an icon without a name for the formerly connected HDD. That icon cannot removed. If I click on it I get the information: Content not available The content of the folder could not be displayed due to an unknown error I did a soft reset and deleted the files app and reinstalled. But whatever I do, the icon in the sidebar stays and cannot be removed and now new device is detected once connected to the USB-C port. Any ideas how I could fully rest the files app or get rid of that stuck icon?

Try connecting both the device and the iPad Pro to power (separately).

Which adapters are you using, if any?

Tried a different storage device?

Tried solid-state storage, rather than rotating rust?
