Wid My Passport Mac Computer I

Nothing has changed since my last backup, which was ten days ago.

I tried the other USB port on my Macbook, but that didnt help.

If anyone has any idea what could have happened, and whether anything can be done, please let me know.

Im pretty disappointed that something like this could happen out of the blue.

I am able to rest my MyBookLive (MBL) while the unit is powered up without losing any date.

It is likely that WD incorporated the same features into your drive.

NOTE: Factory Restore Reset, and on my MBL a Factory Reset reformats the drive, hence should be avoided, except for desperate measures to saved the drive.

When I reconnected my passport to my Mac it was not mounting but the light is on.

I also tried running a diagnostic using the disk utility but the result indicated that my passport appears to be okay.

It has pretty much every bit of information I really hold dear, and on any mac computer I can find everything on it.

It doesnt register that the drive even exists, though the device connected noise sounds.

It doesnt give me any option to format the drive, I dont get any kind of error message.

The closest thing this computer gets to admitting the drive exists is that in the devices and printers window it shows that a drive is there, and that the drive is working properly.

The 1 TB drive works just fine and installed all of its drivers properly.

Probably the best free alternative is to copy everything to a Mac then format the drive NTFS for Windows.

Then install NTFS-3G on the Mac and copy everything back to the drive and make sure it works on Windows before deleting from Mac.
