Problème Disque dur Western Digital My Passport Essential 1 To USB 3.0

Bonjour,
J'ai acheté un hdd Western Digital My Passport Essential 1 To USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 Silver.
P/N WDBACX10010BSL
S/N WXK14AA0X1511
Le problème est le suivant : Le disque n'est pas visible, alors j'ai regardé dans le gestionnaire de périphérique un point exclamation d'affiche jaune en disant "WD SES Device USB Device".
Je suis aller sur le site Western Digital pour recherche le driver, après avoir lancer la rechercher il n'y aucun driver disponible en tapant le P/N.
Si quelqu'un pourrait m'aider à résoudre ce problème.

Le problème était le fichier système formaté sous mac. *Les partitions étaient en mac os x étendu.* Windows ne pouvait lire ce système de fichiers.
Alors on essayé différentes file system. *Il faillait choisir MS-DOS (FAT32) pour mac et Windows.*
Après ce formatage nous avons essayé sur un machine Windows vista ou 7. Maintenant ça marche.
Merci de ton aide.

  • Can Time Machine back up to a Western Digital "My Passport Wireless" over wifi?

    I bought a Western Digital "My Passport Wireless" external hard drive / NAS to use as a Time Machine backup for my new MacBook Pro.  I plugged it in via USB, formatted it to HFS+, and ran Time Machine.  All good.
    This hard drive has a wireless chip in it, so one can connect to it via wifi, either directly or through a router.  When I dismounted the drive and connected via wifi (via my router), my expectation was that I could run Time Machine and do periodic back-ups without having to remember to plug in the drive, etc. 
    I can see the drive and read/write to it.  I am connected as 'admin', not 'guest'.  It is named "MyPassport", both when connected via USB and via wifi.  When I try to use the drive via wifi for Time Machine, I'm asked:  "Do you want to stop backing up to “MyPassport” and use “TimeMachineBackup/TimeMachine” instead, or back up to both?"  When I select "Use both", I'm then told:  "Time Machine can’t access the backup disk “TimeMachineBackup/TimeMachine”.  The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error 2.)"
    Should it be possible for Time Machine to recognize the same archive, whether connected via USB or wifi? 
    If I cannot, can I at least back up a new archive over wifi.  I recognize that the first go at this would take a long time due to slow wireless transfer speed.  What does OSStatus error 2 mean? 

    So you think that you know better than Apple.
    NAS is not supported by Time Machine, you can take all the risks you like but do not advise others to do so. It doesn't matter what WD say, they want you to buy one, Apple are the deciders of what is supported or not.
    Here's what WD say:
    Note: WD does not provide technical support for Time Machine related issues. For assistance with backing up to a WD NAS drive, using the Time Machine application please contact Apple. As the backup application is built into the OS, they are the only ones qualified to diagnose a Time Machine related issue.
    Good luck.

  • How do I figure out if I have usb 3.0?  I am trying to buy compatible external hard drive (western digital my passport for mac) and I can not figure out if it will work with my mac book.

    how do I figure out if I have usb 3.0?  I am trying to buy compatible external hard drive (western digital my passport for mac) and I can not figure out if it will work with my mac book.

    Dont buy a Western Digital, get a Hitachi or Seagate (Toshiba is made by Hitachi). These are the most reliable, and the HD used inside Macs.
    ALL HD can be made compatible with your MAC (including a WD if you already bought same), ......they just need to be formatted for the Mac platform, format them in Disk Utility as Mac OSX extended journaled. 

  • HT201510 time machine on a western digital my passport wireless.

    Has anyone had success in seeing up time machine to backup wirelessly on a western digital my passport wireless?
    a bit of guidance would be greatly appreciated
    thanks

    A third-party NAS is unsuitable for use with Time Machine, especially if it's your only backup. I know this isn't what you want to hear. I know that Time Machine accepts the NAS as a backup destination. I know that the manufacturer says the device will work with Time Machine, and I also know that it usually seems to work. Except when you try to restore, and find that you can't.
    Apple has published a specification for network devices that work with Time Machine. None of the third-party NAS vendors, as far as I know, meets that specification. They all use the incomplete, obsolete Netatalk implementation of Apple Filing Protocol.
    If you want network backup, use as the destination either an Apple Time Capsule or an external storage device connected to another Mac or to an 802.11ac AirPort base station. Only the 802.11ac base stations support Time Machine, not any older model.
    Otherwise, don't use Time Machine at all. There are other ways to back up, though none of them is anywhere near as efficient or as well integrated with OS X. I don't have a specific recommendation.
    If you're determined to keep using the NAS with Time Machine, your only recourse for any problems that result is to the manufacturer (which will blame Apple, or you, or anyone but itself.)

  • I am trying to use an external HD and need to configure it for the MAC. Can someone explain how to configure the HD (Western Digital - My Passport SE)?

    Can someone help explain how to add an external HD to the Mac? I have a Western Digital My Passport SE and need to configure if for the MAC and add it to the HD location on my Mac.

    Connect the external drive to the Mac. You can do that while the Mac is on, (If the drive is one that has to be plugged into a wall outlet do that too and turn the power on.) If there is a light on the drive it should turn on.
    Now double click on the hard drive icon - top left of the screen of your computer. When it opens look for the Applications folder. Double click that. Next look for a folder called Utilities. Double click. In there you will see a file called Disk Utility.app. Double click on that.
    You will now see something like this, with two items on the left. The second one is your new drive.
    Select it - one click. And click on Erase - one of the buttons at the top, You will see this.
    You must select the Format, it's a drop down - the one shown in the image above is best. You can change the name from Untitled if you want. The name can be changed later if you prefer.
    At this point look at the bottom right. There is a button there called Erase. Click on it. Then go get yourself a cup of coffee - this will take a few minutes.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n & Western Digital (My Book Essential 1TB)

    I just bought a Airport Extreme 2days ago. I am trying to connect to my external HDD which is Western Digital, My book Essential, 1TB. But I just could not see the HDD on my laptop. The HDD is detected by the the airport utility and shows 930.9GB WD My Book 1110 1032. I have enable file sharing on the device as well. But i just could not see the HDD. I have tried connecting my both laptops wirelessly & using EtherNet Cable, for both options, the HDD is still not visible. Please help me
    Details as below,
    Airport Extreme with firmware version 7.5.1
    Airport Utility, version 5.5.1
    All systems at home are Windows XP with Service Pack 3
    Internet Type: Cable
    HDD details
    Brand & Model: Western Digital, My Book Essential, 1TB
    Format : NTFS
    Network description, Cable modem -> AE -> HDD into the USB of the AE
    All laptop are on wireless.
    I have called up the apple support helpdesk, which they ask me to hold on, but the line was cut off, and no one actually call me back.
    I badly need help to get this working..

    I have the same WD drive on my Airport. In the Airport utility, I have checked the "Enable File Sharing" box. I have selected to share with my Airport Extreme password. Further down the page, the workgroup box is filled in as "WORKGROUP" - I did not have to do this, the Airport seems to have detected it. If you have nothing there, you might want to fill it in.
    On the PC, with File Explorer, expand the tree My Network Places:Entire Network:Microsoft Windows Network:Workgroup. The Airport shows up here. When I click it, I get a prompt for username and password. I use the info from the PC that I use to manage the airport. Then My Book shows up and I can browse it.

  • Western Digital My Book Essential

    My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Western Digital My Book Essential (WDBACW0010HBK) and WD support says: "This drive relies on a driver that is built into this version of MacOSX. If Mac OSX is unable to detect the drive, it is likely the driver has become corrupted or the drive has been physically damaged. Please contact Apple for assistance in diagnosing your operating system before replacing the drive." 
    Thoughts on "next steps?"

    Return the WD thingy and get a reliable ext HD. Note that WD's ext HDs don't play well with Macs and I wouldn't have one. Alternatively, erase and reformat the WD thing, don't install its software, ahd try again. Last step is to Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

    Hello,
    Seems you already tried and did the necessary troubleshooting. This means the drive is dead. If the drive is till under warranty then you can get it replaced.
    How to get an RMA, (Return Merchandise Authorization) or replace a defective product under warranty

  • Will a western digital 1tb passport se work with lion?

    Hi, bought a western digital hard drive at the same time as i bought my mac but it wont work with lion. can anyone help?

    My WD Passport is working with Lion.
    Did you reformat your drive using Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?
    If you have and are still having problems, I would return it and get the Seagate GoFlex drive.

  • IMac Backups on Western Digital My Passport for Mac

    I have a Western Digital 1TB My Passport for Mac which regularly backs up my iMac.  It is creating a backup file apparently every day.  I decided to remove all but the most recent 3 backup files and moved them to trash, but am unable to empty the trash.  How do I empty the trash now?

    Time Machine back ups in the trash are not a good combination.   You may find this link helpfull ...

  • Western Digital External Drive unmounts when USB used

    I have a Western Digital 1TB My Book Studio edition external HDD. Its been unmounting recently without warning. I fianlly narrowed it down to when I plug or unplug a USB device such as a headset.
    The drive is running in FW as I dont have any spare USB ports. WD are now blaming the computer. After reading other issues people have had with WD I dont believe them. I'm about to install 10.5.8 but I doubt this will fix it, also the HDD has the latest firmware.
    Has anyone else had this sort of problem or have any suggestions?

    I have a Western Digital 500 GB My Book that mysteriously mounts or doesn't mount about 50% of the time. Am using it in FW, though I've also tried USB with no change in behavior.
    The drive gets fiercely hot - I suspect this might be contributing to the bad behavior of the drive. If I check the System Profiler when the drive doesn't mount, it is showing in the System Profiler - but doesn't appear on my desktop.
    Out-of-warrantee support is $50 - or I can throw it out and buy a different brand for about $100! Guess which one I will choose!

  • Western Digital My Passport For Mac Won't Mount

    Hello everyone,
    I always try to find related articles prior to posting, but I haven't found anything quite like my situation listed. I have a "My Passport For Mac" that I recently reformatted on my Mac to use as a time machine (using 10.10.2). Prior to reformatting, it worked fine. I have it encrypted so any time I'd plug it in & it would request my password. All was great. I reformatted it & then used it to back up my Mac. However, days later, when I go to plug it in, the hard drive won't mount. A lot of folks with a similar situation are at least reporting that it's showing up in Disk Utility. However, mine is completely absent. I've tried it on multiple computers (including a PC). It's not showing up anywhere. But the disk is on & spinning. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm stumped on this one. I'm not worried about recovering any data from this as it's just a Time Machine backup. I'd just like to get it to mount to my Mac again!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Historically, the problem has been that many USB-powered drives can't get enough power from a USB port after they begin to age. The Passport is bus-powered, getting all its power from a USB port. Not the best solution for a desktop computer.
    To get such a drive going again, you need one of two workabouts:
    1) a powered USB hub (has its own power supply to make up the shortfall) that goes between the external drive and the computer.
    2) use a "Y" USB cable to get power from two USB ports simultaneously (such as http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/USB2AYMBPB/)
    Also, WD uses an odd proprietary formatting scheme that is of itself a problem area. WD makes very good bare drives but the enclosures into which they put them to make an external drive are not very good and not particually Mac-Friendly. The formatting makes them harder to use.
    Once you get  the files you need off the external,  consider erasing and reformating it to Mac Extended Journaled using Disk Utility. That often makes the drive more reliable without having to revert to USB hubs or special cables. It gets rid of the proprietary formatting that seem to contribute to the problems.
    I have three external drives. All have WD bare drives inside but none are in WD encosures. By far the best enclosures for Mac external drives are those from OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
    I have two of the desktop model shown and one of its portable version for my MacBook Pro. All three have given me superb service and zero problems.

  • Western Digital 1tb passport for mac not working???

    The drive is spinning and I've had no problems with it thus far. So the drive is spinning but it is not showing up on my desktop. No error messages. The light on the external drive will flash continuously and consistently and then stop flashing and remain lit for a couple of minutes then resumes flashing. But it will not show up on my desktop.
    Any ideas?

    While WD drives are OK, the electronics in their packaged backup units don't have a good track record. Have you tried another connection cable, just to rule that out? You've rebooted your MacBook? Is it still under warranty?

  • Can Western Digital My Passport Ultra be a bootable drive for my MBPro?

    I have not found a definitive answer and wanted to see if anyone has used this drive (external, 1TB) as a bootable drive for Mac (I'm running 10.06.8) -- want a boot drive before attempting upgrade of my OS)
    WD site does not list it as confirmed to work as mac boot drive, but it also does not list it as a "does not work" drive. It's just not mentioned.

    Thanks -- I know it's possible generally, but I was hoping someone with this specific drive would be able to confirm,
    i called WD and the guy said yes -- but at first he did not know that there was software to create a bootable drive, so I'm dubious of his competence.
