Macbook Air M1 only sees part of 3Tb WD MyPassort drive

I have a 3Tb WD MyPassport drive, it contains Movies, Music and Pictures. I used this drive with my 2013 MacBook Air without issue. On my new MacBook air I can read the Music, Pictures and only a part of the Video folder. Is there a fix for this?

New MacBook Air M2 - External Hard Drive Not Recognized on New Mac I recently got a new MacBook Air M2. I have an external hard drive that the new Mac will not recognize. The external drive still works on my old Mac. It's not the drive, it's not the cable. I have connect other external drives and they work. The Finder 'External disks' option is selected. Suggestions?

Can not empty trash from EXFAT or FAT external drive I have been using an EXFAT 1TB external ssd without any problem beetween my mac and windows and suddenly the deleted files in trash became unable to be emptied. This is what happened when I tried to empty trash. and this is what happened when I tried force delete the folder right from the finder. I can format the drive and I have finally found out that I could do rm -rf to empty the trash but I want to fix the issue to be like before. I have no problem at all deleting if I format it to Mac OS Extended but I am using it across several platform. Another thing is that the issue occurred after I mounted the drive to my Synology NAS to copy files to the NAS but I don't know if there is anything to do with it. Any help would be appreciated.

Disk Utility won't load disks Disk Utility is timing out on loading the disks and stalling the Finder. I have 1 internal and 4 in an external enclosure. I had to reboot or log out to get the finder back after relaunching it. Any ideas? I'm on Mac Studio M1 Ventura 13.0.1
