Welcome to the Community.

Is your hard drive detected on other computers? When did it stop being recognized?

I’m having the same issue. I have a brand My Passport Ultra and its not being detected on a new macbook Pro. But its working just fine on my old Macbook pro. The old computer isn’t running Yosemite.&nbsp;

What can I do to get the harddrive to work on my new computer?

Thanks!
