New 1TB "My passport for Mac" hates me... help?

   I plugged it into my macbook pro, 10.9 OS, downloaded several things to my computer: utilities, security, and some updates for them. I tried to use my time machine function to back up my computer to the passport but there was a problem every time that I tried. It would always say backup failed. I restarted the computer and nothing changed. Then I ejected it and tried to plug it back in.

   Now we have arrived at the current problem. It doesn’t want to show up. I shut the computer down and unplug the device because I don’t want to just pull the device out while its running and not eject it properly. When I plug it back in nothing happens. No icon for it pops up on my desktop, there’s no potable device in the finder window.

Can anyone help me?
