All of a sudden my Lacie G Drive will not show up on my Macbook Pro. It will, however, show on my other Mac computer. It shows in the disk utility as "unmounted". What does that mean and how can i fix it. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
eMac, Mac OS X (10.4.3)
How it is connected?
have you tried clicking the Mont button in Disk Utility?
What is format of the disk?
What OSX version on the other Mac
What OSX version on the MacBook?
Did it connect OK to the MacBook before?
This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.
My laptop is plugged in. I'm running Yosemite. The Lacie drive does show up in the disk utility, I've done repair, etc. Everything shows up fine. It still won't mount when I clicked the mount option. I get the message "Mount failed. The disk LaCie could not be mounted. Try running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting." I've done the first aid; doesn't help; still same message. Then it told me it couldn't be mounted because there was no mount point. I'm not sure what a mount point is. Both desktop and laptop are the latest version. It always worked on both machines before last night.
Try resetting the NVRAM/PRAM and SMC but this is a long shot.

Tried again last night and noticed a quick small notice flash at the top of the screen: "LaCie removable media was blocked by ESET Cyber Security". After fighting with the system for ten minutes I finally found the uninstall for ESET, did it, and was able to mount my LaCie drive again. It had never done that before, but whatever works! I still have it uninstalled and don't know if I will install it again.
Thanks for your efforts to help me.
My Lacie drive will not show up on my macbook, but will show on the desktop.
