Seagate Backup isn't recognized by Finder

Hello all,

I just got a MacBook Pro, and my Seagate Backup+ for Mac isn't recognized in Finder. Each time I plug it in, it brings up the Disk Utility screen, where I Verify and Repair the drive, but ...nothing happens! It says the drive is fine, but why won't it show up in Finder?

I have previously been using it with a PC and backing it up with little trouble there, but with Mac it just won't show up in Finder at all.

Thanks!

MacBook Pro
