I have a WD My Passport Ultra 2TB, which was purchased about 2 weeks ago (mid March). I thought I would post my same problem here, as I have looked at all the suggestions for Sue's problem but they haven't fixed mine. Now, does your WD HD mount in Finder (see second pic below) - shows my Seagate HD connected - w/ your HD attached, do you see the little 'eject' symbol (blue arrow)? If so, have you used it to 'eject' the drive after your backups? I'll stop there and let you respond. I've had no problems in running Time Machine on this computer - does not create a bootable drive, but does incremental backups of all of your files.Īs expected, a call to Western Digital was a 'goose chase' - I would check their website to see if there is a User's Forum and/or FAQ area - also make sure that there is not a firmware upgrade which might address this issue I have a Seagate external HD also attached to my wife's iMac - at first (early last year), it would just disappear in Finder and Time Machine BUs were suspended - a firmware upgrade from their website addressed the problem. If you bought the WD for Mac, I'm assuming that the disk formatting is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)', but to check simply open Disk Utility (in Applications or from Launchpad -> Other) and highlight the external HD, then look the bottom (see my screen capture of my Seagate external HD, blue arrow) - this drive is my Time Machine MBPro BU (I have the same early 2013 laptop). Just wondering but w/ an early 2013 MBPro, why have you not upgraded to Yosemite (10.10.1)? Of course, your issue could be corrected w/ a change of OS X? Hi again Sue - thanks for the additional information.
