Apr 16, 2018 Hello. I'm not sure if I can help, but here was my situation. For some unknown reason my WD 1TB suddenly stopped 'mounting.' I'm using MacOS version 10.13.4 (High Sierra). I found one of my older forensic applications called Disk Arbitrator. I haven't been here in a while because I just haven't had any Mac issues. I have a 1 TB WD external HD that won't mount. I connect it via firewire to an Old G4 Sawtooth running OS 10.5.8. My mac sees the drive, it just won't mount. I've also tried to mount it via USB, but again, my system sees the drive, but won't. Software for Windows. A NEW SMART PERSONAL CONTENT APP: Be among the first to try the EdgeRover™ desktop app! WD Backup (Support for WD Backup has ended. Users should download. Acronis True Image for Western Digital to back up their drives.) WD SmartWare (Support for WD SmartWare has ended. Users should download. I have a 1TB Seagate (FAT32) and 4TB Seagate (Mac OS Extended), and the 1TB works perfectly fine under USB while my 4TB just shows up in disk utility. I have 2 external drives that do not mount. And my apple usb wired keyboard doesnt work either. My WD external hard drive will not mount and does not show up anywhere.
Hello everyone,
I just go my Elements portable drive and I hooked it up to my Mac. I get the “Do you want to back up now” window and I proceed from there. I come to a point where it asks me if I want to erase drive (I think there was some verbiage that said formatting was needed to proceed). Anyways, I click erase and for some reason it did not go through. I noticed that in disk utility, the device was showing up as ‘Elements’ originally , but now it says ‘disk2s1’. I cant get the device to mount at all and tried re-formatting but it gives me an error .
Anyone have any ideas?
