Solved Plugged In To Computer But Isn T Being Recognized Not In Disk Utility Seagate External Storage

Chosen Solution

I have a MAC. I had my Seagate 1tb Backup Plus Slim Portable Storage device plugged in a few days ago, and all the sudden the message popped up that it was “improperly ejected” even though it hadn’t been touched or anything. I tried to replug it back in and the LED light will come on but my computer won’t recognize it. It has a small click noise and is working but it isnt a loud click like the “click of death” Also I already tried the trick in finder where you make sure external drives show up and checked disk utility- no luck!! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!

Could be the drive or the enclosure. First thing to do it put the drive into a new enclosure.

I just watched a YouTube video from the author of this webpage. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5cTZBMi-Xw…
