Just Bought A New My Passport For Mac. Light Blinks. Is That Ok?
The WD My Passport Wireless has two LED indicators to assist the user in knowing. Of the box as it may have been in transit or on the shelf for a significant length of time. Blinks blue for a set period (1 minute): WPS initiated and in progress. LED light for the hard drive on the computer case stay on or flashes eratically.
I’m fairly upset. I’ve been using the My Passport for Mac for about two years with no problems. I have not updated anything on my macbook. Nothing has changed since my last backup, which was ten days ago. I have a Macbook Pro, OS 10.9.5. Now when I plug in my external hard drive, the light just blinks nonstop.
Nothing mounts. No error message, no nothing.
I tried the other USB port on my Macbook, but that didn’t help. I restarted my Macbook and still no luck. Did it just die??

Switch Between Relative and Absolute References in Excel for Mac I’m a longtime user of Excel for Windows, but recently a newbie with Excel 2008 for Mac where I found that out the Windows shortcut F4 doesn’t work to switch between relative and absolute references when editing a formula.
Do I simply have to buy a new external hard drive? (If so, it won’t be another one of these, and any suggestions are most welcome!) I don’t see anything on this forum about this problem, so I’m thinking it’s not a simple problem.
If anyone has any idea what could have happened, and whether anything can be done, please let me know. I’m pretty disappointed that something like this could happen out of the blue. BEFORE you reformat the drive, have a look at your User’s Manual (UM) and try a Reset. I am able to rest my MyBookLive (MBL) while the unit is powered up without losing any date. This has saved my hide on several occasions. It is likely that WD incorporated the same features into your drive.
Have a look at your manual before you do the reset. NOTE: Factory Restore ≠ Reset, and on my MBL a Factory Reset reformats the drive, hence should be avoided, except for desperate measures to saved the drive.
I had the same problem. When I connected to the computer I heard the noise that it was connected, but it didn't show up in disk management. The drive was vibrating and clearly moving. I just wanted to say the following: 1) My computer has 3 USB ports. Two of which say SS, the third has a +. Not sure if it matters which USB port, but it may be.
2) I unplugged all devices (e.g., mouse, printer, drive). And shut down the computer. I re-started the computer and left plenty of time to ensure that my computer was ready to go. 3) I plugged it into a different USB port (SS), and it worked.
