Hello,
I have a 'my passport for mac' that is not showing up on my macbook pro after connecting it. I had tried several things such as go through Disk Utility and see if it recognised it, but again no luck.
- If the WD My Passport for Mac still does not work or not show up on Mac after the basic checks, go ahead to try out the solutions as below to make it show up on Mac. Solution 1: Check Finder Preferences. If your WD My Passport is not showing up in Finder and desktop, it's possible that the configuration of the Finder Preferences is stopping.
- Here's how to start over. External hard drive showing up in Disk utility not in Devices. This problem also happened after OS X Yosemite update. Next, the USB was plugged into PC and scanned and fixed it as recommended by Windows 10. I have never used my wd my passport ultra before and it will not show up on my mac.
Tried resetting NVRAM, but again not look.
The same thing happens when I connect it to my new imac updated to the latest version of Catalina 10.15.5
However when connected to my old imac running 10.12.6 Sierra it does work!

Does anyone know why is not working on my new devices and how I can solve this issue?
