Need help installing on my Mac!

I’m so annoyed. I plugged in the external drive (my passport) and reformatted the drive for mac computer (so i think). i’ve agreed and accepted and installed the software…restarted my computer, etc…

Whenever i click on the desktop icon, it just brings up that same folder where I have to drag/drop the utilities/security folders in the applications folder. I’ve done that numerous times. HOW DO I JUST USE THE DANG DRIVE TO TRANSFER FILES?!!

Hello and welcome, 

Review the steps to format the Passport on the following link. Once the Passport is formatted, you should be able to use it just like any regular USB memory, to drag and drop or copy/paste your files.
