    Hi, you answered this question and I have the same problem but no one has been able to get me as far as you have! So in Disk Utility I clicked on the dimmed Lacie drive, ran First Aid. But afterwards the disk didn't show up in Finder or on the Desktop. I clicked on the "mount" button" and that did nothing. If I go to "File" then "Open disk image" I can see inside the disk, open folders but all the documents are dimmed and won't open. This is a drive I have used to back up with Time Machine  regularly (up until a little over 2 months ago when it stopped "seeing" it) Also when I plug my iPhone into a USB it shows up in iTunes but not on the finder but I can update the phone.
