I'm having some trouble formatting my WD my passport in High Sierra.
I did not purchase the Mac version of WD external hard drive, and was wondering if it can be formatted to JHSF+ or to the new APFS film system. I don't want to use exFAT or FAT32. Currently it seems to be formatted to exFAT.
But the problem is this.. I am unable to format or rename this disk. Not even to exFAT or FAT32..
anyone help?.... please.....
(Macbook Pro 15" 2016)
Try this:
Open Disk Utility (not in Recovery Mode) and change the View drop-down (upper left corner) to Show All Devices. Then select your actual device - not the indented volume - and then the Erase making sure the Partition Map Scheme is GUID and format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This should recreate your single volume as GUID/HFS+.
Thanks !!!!
Great answer. Thank you so much.
Most helpful! Thanks
Did you ever resolve? I have same issue.
Yes it is resolved. Did you read the thread? You format at the device level not at the volume level.
