It recognized it fine but would never do a full back up. I have hooked up to an external monitor and have been running Time Machine to get my info off backing up to a WD 3TB external drive. I have dropped two that I worked on steadily and broke the screen on one. I have read through ALL of the replies and can't believe that Apple hasn't responded with a better solution.

Toshiba doesnt make 2.5" hard drives, theyre made by Hitachi (same HD Apple uses inside their Macbook pro and Mac Mini).
Lacie doesnt make Hard drives, they contain seagate inside. Good news, the HD is ok, the Mac is ok, but the HD isnt getting enough power thru the USB. Many 2.5" HD (especially the larger ones, and the 'older' ones (older than a year or two) run on the razors edge for power as drained thru USB to get them working perfectly 100% of the time. Some HD are flakey and have "haunted" recognition issues when plugging them in. I recommend anyone who can, to own a HD dock.Ĥ. Good news is, cracking open an external HD and removing the HD and connecting it via a HD dock and 9 times out of 10, everything is "good to go".
rather the SATA connector between the HD and Mac is fried. Most all external HD have very junk SATA connectors between them and the Mac.if your drive all the sudden "isnt recognized" is far far more common than you realize, it doesnt indicate that either the HD is bad, OR your Mac has issues. e r ase any new out of box drive, and have it formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".ģ.

Most of these HD new out of box are NOT FORMATTED for Mac OSX. NEVER buy a western digital drive for your Mac, just dont do it.Ģ. I will send $25 via Paypal to the first person who posts a fix to my problem.Īs owner of nearly 100 hard drives, and used enough 1000s of them, everyone should remember 2 points for the future.ġ. I'm really ****** off that I'm loosing all of my data because Apple hasn't fixed this problem. This has been going of for over 1.5 years. Something is wrong with my MBP, not the HDD's. I even returned them and got a new set just to make sure. Not on the desktop, Disk Utilities or disk warrior. After formatting them, I no longer see them. I was able to see them before I formatted them for use. I have a BRAND NEW 2 TB HDD and enclosure. The Time machine side disappeared, tried to repair disk and now both sides are not mounting. partitioned one side as time machine and the other as storage. I'm even plugging the HDD in a power regulator to make sure it's getting clean, smooth power USB ports and cables are working fine with everything else I use them with.ĭrives are not BUS powered. I'm running osx 10.6.5, plugged in via usb. I'm looking at 4 HDD which are all not recognized by my MBP. Now that I have two apparently non functioning backup drives, I would greatly appreciate any insights you guys could offer. It can see it within the Disk Utility program and from within system profiler, but it appears not to see it on the desktop. The macbook will not recognize the drive. Bringing the EHD back to my MacBook, I plugged it in and nada. Again I launched DU and it said the disk needed repair, and again the repair process stopped after a few minutes saying it could not repair the disk. I walked over to the imac and presto- exactly the same thing happened as before- it could not recognize the drive. Then it backed up the entire disk- again taking about 30+ minutes to do so. Once done, I launched Time Machine and it reformatted the entire drive. Upon connecting it to the MacBook, it launched an internal app which installed Memeo (apparently Seagates version of Time Machine). Figuring the drive was busted, I went out and bought a 1 TB seagate drive. I brought the disk back to the MacBook and same result- MacBook could not see the disk even though it had just back up the entire thing 30 minutes previously. After about 10 mins, DU said this disk cannot be repaired. Midway through, DU said "this disk needs to be repaired." So, I began the repair process. I launched Disk Utility on the imac and it was able to see the drive, so I tried to verify the disk. After that backup was completed, I took the drive to the imac and attempted to do a backup and the imac was unable to see the drive. It backed everything up from scratch - took about 25-30 mins. Yesterday, my Seagate went to back up the MacBook, and time machine displayed a message that it could not read the previous backup and needed either to erase it or create a new one (something like that anyway). Have had close to a dozen backups successfully performed on each machine.

I'm going to add my experience to this thread: Been using a 500GB Seagate portable external harddrive with my MacBook Pro for about 6 months to back up my MacBook as well as my iMac Desktop.
