Need help with WD My Passport for Mac
Hello all,
I have a WD My Passport for Mac in 1TB and I believe it is USB 2.0. I am trying to use it on a Macbook Pro Retina 2015. Its about 2-3 years old.
Last night I updated it with everything from my designs, and projects and tried to do all my music. I have 14k songs and stopped it when I realized it was not loading after a few hours. I just plugged it out without ejecting. Today, I'm trying to use it and it will not mount. It works. The light on the front flashes rapidly when I first plug it in and I can feel the hard drive moving. It then slows and the light stops flashing all together. Now, I'm at a very steady flash but still no mounting. It does not show up in Disk Utility. If anyone knows what I should do to be able to see the drive, or to get the items off the drive, please let me know.
I cannot reformat because you need to see the drive to do that and this was my way to back up things from smaller thumb drives which were full because of the items. Please help. Should I just plug it in and wait? My thumb drives work fine in both USB slots. I also tried to use the external hard drive on a Macbook Air and it did not mount there either. Any tips would be helpful.
