Does Yosemite include drivers for the WD Elements external hard drive?
iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
Several questions:
Please answer all three questions.
Many thanks for coming back. The situation has been resolved with the help of Apple Support via Chat. It may help someone else if I summarise:
The external HD could not be seen in Disc Utility or under Devices. It was straight out of the box and formatted as Windows NTFS. However, when I connected it to my MacMini (running 10.10.1) there it was. In Disc Utility I erased it, then formatted it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). When I reconnected it to the iMac it appeared and at the moment it is happily backing up via Time Machine.
Thanks again.
Apologies - that should have been 'in response to rkaufmann87'
Hi!
I have the same problem with my windows-formated WD which is backing up files from my office computer. I have been using it on my older mac, version 10.8. Now, with my new mac 10.10.1, it cannot be seen, but is visible in disk utility. As I have valuable files there, how can I reach them? I am afraid that I will loose my files if formatting. Any clues?
My iMac Yosemite does not recognise my new WD Elements external hard disk
