Wd My Passport For Mac Not Showing Up

WD builds drives to demanding requirements for durability, shock tolerance and long-term reliability. And we back up (pardon the pun) the trusted My Passport for Mac drive with a 3-year limited warranty.

Western Digital today introduced new My Passport and My Passport for Mac hard drives, which are equipped with up to 5TB of storage.
The drives are the slimmest 5TB options in the WD brand portfolio, measuring in at 0.75 inches thick, and Western Digital says they're about palm sized.
Western Digital refreshes its My Passport lineup each year, and this year's models have a new look in Black, Blue, and Red color options. My Passport hard drives are formatted for Windows 10 and feature a USB 3.0 connector.
The My Passport for Mac option, which is formatted for macOS Mojave and features a USB-C connector, comes in a Midnight Blue color option. Mac users who have a USB-C machine and are looking at WD hard drives will want the Mac version so it will work out of the box without an adapter.
The new drives are available starting now from the Western Digital Store and Best Buy in the United States. Prices start at $79.99 for 1TB of storage and go up from there.

Problem I was having:. After 8 months of owning a WD 3TB My Passport for Mac Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0, one day the drive would not show up when I plugged it in to my MacBook Pro. Very important documents and photos on the drive with no backup. After plugging in, light would be solid for a few seconds, then keep blinking.

Hi everyone. I have a WD My Passport Ultra external hard drive and I used to run this said external drive in my macbook air. However, probably after an upgrade of El Capitan, the hard disk doesnt even show up anymore in Finder and Disk Utility. I can still use the hard drive in my HD media player so I am sure that it is not damaged yet. Someone same experience? Any way to repair this? Thanks in advance for any advice!
