#Passport for mac not mounted software#
Following the advice on other messages on this forum, I completely eliminated any and all WD software from my machine, a Mac MBPro edition. Was working perfectly for a long time, containing irreplaceable data! I upgraded to Mavericks about a week or two ago, but only tried to plug it in again last weekend. Same experience here, with an external My Passport, 1 TB. Wierd, because my two main USB3 drives are working perfectly.

Did a reboot with it plugged in and Disk Utility found it again. I verified it, then it disappeared from Disk Utility.
