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

To add, save, or write files to your Mac, you need an add-on NTFS-driver. Not sure what to do as the internet isnt helping solve the problem. When you get a new Mac, its only able to read Windows NTFS-formatted USB drives. 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. WD Drive Utilities software allows you to configure, manage, and diagnose your WD drive. The My Passport for Mac drive is trusted, portable storage that perfectly complements your on-the-go lifestyle. ( error 49153."ģ) I have run diagnoistics on the older drive and everything came back fine. Step 3: Double-click on the WD Drive Unlock file. Double-click on WD Unlocker to see the WD Drive Unlock file. WD Unlocker is nothing but password protected WD external hard drive.

You have to expand Disk drives or USB controllers. In the Device Manager, locate the device. Select 'Device Manager' from the context menu. Step 2: Open up This PC to see WD Unlocker drive under Devices and drives. To update WD My Passport device drivers on Windows, you can follow these steps: Right-click the Start button. 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. Step 1: Connect your password-protected WD external hard drive to your PC. 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 also bought a brand new external drive (WD My Passport- which is suppoed to be compatable with macs) as well as have my old external drive (WD My Passport) that has been working on my old mackbook 15in and my even older iMac for years. My Passport Drives not working on brand new comp I have recently bought a brand 2 new Macbook Pro 14in and its running Monterey.
