I can not get my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 to recognize a 5 year old external hard drive from iomega. The product code is 31759000 RDHD-U. The hard drive powers up, all cables have been checked to work on other devices, and yet nothing happens when connected.

I have posted on the iomega support pages about their product as well. I am spearheading solutions on multiple fronts. Basic guidance from the iomega support pages say driver support is automatically incorporated into OS X 10, however, I believe that is for new products and not legacy items.
What interface does your model use? Firewire and USB interfaces are supported in OS X. Drivers should not be needed. SCSI, on the other hand, do require drivers.
Do you know what sort of interface is on the drive itself? You may be able to relocate it into an enclosure that supports USB, Firewire, etc. and also supports the drive's native interface. I'm afraid I'm not too much help here because I have not used an Iomega device in years, and those I used were the bare drives.
Ask IOmega. It's their product.
it is a USB cable and as far as the drive itself, I'm not sure. I'll have to take some time and crack open the case. Thank you for your responses anyway.
Well, what happens if you hook it up to a USB port? It should work if it's in a standard USB enclosure. Does it show up in Disk Utility? Do you know if the drive is functional beyond powering up?
