So I have a 1TB external hard drive from Seagate. It has always worked great with my macbook air, but for the past few months it has been harder to connect it (Had to plug it in a few times before it connected, sometimes I had to restart the computer a few times before it would work). The last few times I used it and it actually worked it would disconnect itself without me even touching it or anything. Now, when I plug it in it won't pop ut at all. The external hard drive makes a buzzing sound as usual but isn't blinking like it does when it's plugged into the computer and connected.
It won't pop up under the units tab to the left in the finder window, it won't pop up under USB in utilities, it won't pop up when I open "About this mac" and the system rapport thing, nor under the Connected USB list.
I have checked that all the boxes are clicked in the "Show content" list.
I can't find it anywhere in the computer and I don't know what to do.
I need access to my hard drive and my Macbook is driving me crazy.
I connect it with USB and can't plug it up to a power source since there's nowhere to plug it up.
Additionally, it works for my other computer that's not a mac. But I need to be able to access it from this computer, so any advice or tips are very welcome.
Thanks in advance
