Wondering if this is an issue with Monterey since the older coms are not running that OS and are working fine.

Not sure what to do as the internet isnt helping solve the problem. Cable - External USB drive (WD Element 2TB) - Headphone As far as I know. It also still works on older devices.Ĥ) The other drive is brand new and nothing is working for that one to mount as well. Dual Monitor Setup-1 with WD19TB/WD19TBS dock connected to an Apple USB-C Host. ( error 49153.'ģ) I have run diagnoistics on the older drive and everything came back fine. Neither are working on the new ones.Ģ) I have looked in disk utility and I can see the drives but I cannot mount them. No matter what I do I can not get ANY exernal drive to mount on any of my new Macbooks running Monterey.ġ) I have downloaded the WD discovery and utility which is the program that has helped my older macbook and imac mount the drives.

I have also tried creating 2 and 4 partitions, and while Disk Utility appears to create the partitions, Disk Utility hangs and spits back:Įach time the popup error appears, the disk disappears from Disk Utility and the USB enclosure has to be powered down and turned on again for the computer to see it, after which I get the error message about the disk being unreadable and demanding to initialize it.My Passport Drives not working on brand new comp I have recently bought a brand 2 new Macbook Pro 14in and its running Monterey. I tried using the Disk Utility option to write zeros to the disk, but I get the error:īecause I can see a volume that represents the partition that I asked Disk Utility to create, I tried formatting that, but I get the error: Disk Utility appeared to create the new partition, but then poped up with the error message: So, I went into the partition manager and tried to create 1 partition, GUID table, and set the size to be the full capacity of the drive. When I looked at the drive in Disk Utility, there was an existing partition, presumably for Windows because OS X said that the disk was unreadable and wanted me to initialize it. I also have a Western Digital external drive connected through USB, and my situation doesn't fit the usual fixes.
