I purchased a MacBook two days ago and got a WD Passport External Hard Drive (250gb) so I can transfer my movies, music, and photos over.

When I plug my WD passport into my computer (or any computer) it isn’t coming up. I can find it, but I can’t open it and view the files.

It does the same thing on a Windows or a Mac. However, if I plug it into the TV, it recognizes some or most of the files, so I know they’re still there. Is it a driver problem? Can anyone help before I lose 500 GB of my life?

  7. If this is a portable drive (no separate power supply), then this may be a power issue. Portable hard drives require a fair bit of power, and while they SHOULD fall within the USB specs (500mA for USB 2.0), some demand a little more. Equally, some hosts (computers, TVs etc) provide just a little below spec, so sometimes you get a bad combination.
    To test this theory, try the HD on a number of different USB ports on different computers (not just your PC & Mac) and see if they can be read on any of them. If this is indeed the problem, and none of the ports on your computers provide enough power, then there are two things you can do: 1) get a USB 'Y' cable which will aggregate the power from two different sockets or 2) use an external power supply if your HD has a socket for one (if it does not, you may be able to obtain another HD enclosure, which does have such a connection, and transfer the drive itself to it.
