The My Passport drive non Mac version does not come with a Mac version of the software however this can be downloaded direct from the Western Digital site. Digital invitations for mac. I personally prefer to use the facilities provided by Mac OS for encrypting my hard drive data and adding a password.

In device manager, right click on the drive, choose uninstall (including driver). Remove device from usb port, shut down and restart. Once windows is up, plug the drive back into usb and see if windows automatically finds the device and installs drivers. If windows still does not recognize the drive, go and pick your item and download WD's driver. Mark did all that but still to no avail.

Uninstalled everything that is not present in the device manager, re-installed the driver, restarted the computer. After i restarted it and plugged in the hard dics, it automatically installs the driver but it doesnt show up in 'my computer' or the device manager. Help me out here please. My PC couldn't detect my passport under the computer letters but was detected under the device manager. So I did as others adviced. 1) Selected the device with the yellow sign and uninstalled it 2) Unplugged my passport for 1 minute and connected it again 3) After my PC detected it automatically reinstalled the drivers 4) Since it still wouldn't appear as a letter, I went ahead and run diskpart 5) It automatically assigned the next available letter on my PC 6) Opened it and all my content was there Be patient and you will find a solution. At least I did.

Can you give me a little help regarding how to run diskpart? I have the program open as an admin and I cant figure it out. Edit: It is not showing up as a volume in Diskpart. I shit you not this is not a trolling answer.

I read it on another forum and after all else failed it was my last hope. Do this with an open mind and don't judge until you've tried it. First wrap a piece of kitchen roll or toilet roll around it roughly the same width and about two or three layers. Story writing software for mac. Secondly pop it in a sandwich bag (sealable) then place in the freezer for an hour or two (I left mine in for two) Lastly take it out and let it stand in room temp in the wrap for an hour.

In wrap and hey presto plug in and it should work. It did the trick for me anyway. I don't know how long it will last but if it gives you time to recover lost files it's better than nothing. I had this same problem with my My Passport Ultra. All of a sudden my daily back up kept failing because the drive was inaccessible. The drive didn't have a drive letter and wasn't mapped in Windows Explorer. My Solution: I went to Start - Computer - (right click) - Manage, then under disk management I noticed the partition was there but not active not did it have a drive letter.

So I right clicked on the partition, made it active, then right click and I assigned it a drive letter. I've looked everywhere. It's not showing up in disk management or in my computer. It's working, all lights are lighting up and i can feel it vibrating slightly. Whats wrong with it? Oh, it shows up in device manager but with a warning sign by the icon. Is it a faulty external hard drive?

Hello, I had the same problem (light on and Passport vibrating but not visible either on my computer or in driver devices - thought I had lost everything!). I found the solution (thank Heavens!). I have 32-bit Vista and downloaded WD_SES_Driver_Setup_x86 and it is visible again.
