Cannot mount LaCie external hard drive to MBP Intel MBP running Ventura 13.7.2 I have an older Lacie external drive I'm trying to mount/connect to retrieve archived files. Using original power cord and NEW cable (printer USB to USB C). Original cable required an adapter so I replaced hoping that was the cause of the problem. The drive has mounted without issue until recent system upgrade. It powers on and blue light flickers. Drive is not password protected. Finder settings have all locations checked. The drive appears in USB Device Tree/USB 3.0 Bus/d2 Quadra (button). The drive DOES NOT appear in Disk Utility or Terminal diskutil list. I have reset NVRAM and PRAM, started in recovery mode, and connected to a PC without success. I have searched multiple discussions and have not located a solution...seems this may be a common problem and I'm hopeful someone has found a solution. Please help!

Why is my external hard drive not appearing on my MacBook Pro? I plugged my seagate drive into my macbook pro but it isn't appearing on my desktop. I've restarted and checked the connections. All good. Light on external drive is on but computer doesn't see it. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Mount the Drive:

Using Disk Utility, see if the Hard Drive is seen. If it is, then see if you need to click the “Mount’ button for it. See if is then accessible. To get to Disk Utility, Go to: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utilities
