Hi, I have a Lacie Rugged 4TB external Hard Drive that I use to store all my photo's and also run a daily backup. The drive is split into two drive, Photos & HD Backup. Photos is loading but HD Backup is not. Is this because it is formatted as a backup drive and Ventura is hiding it? I have a new MacBook Air which does not have Ventura and they both load fine.
Any suggestions?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.14
I have the same / similar issue. After upgrading to Ventura I cannot use my backup drive. I have 2 LaCie external HDD. The 4TB on which I have music and photos is mounting, but the 5TB Time Machine is not ! Thats a pretty critical fault and Apple is not responding to this forum. Disappointing to say the least.
I ended up erasing the Time Machine HDD and starting again. All the attempts with Disc Utility to Mount or Repair etc etc did not work.
That was fairly low risk in my case though I did have fingers crossed that there were no further issues during backup. The Time Machine HDD is now mounting everytime.
Nerve wracking process, but more worrying about this is the total lack of interest or support from Apple.
its very disappointing but that’s apple for you. If you open disk utility you can see the drives there and open them by right clicking and show in finder. One day they will sort I’m sure.
That's not working either
Ventura 13.2.1 Update helps.
Has made no difference at all.
Ventura not mounting my backup drive
