My Seagate Is Not Registering With The New Mac Software
09.09.2020by admin
Hello I need urgent help with resolving this as I am trying to get the harddrive showing up or at least recover files.
I was using it at school first and my computer froze so I shut down the computer and restarted without safely removing the hard drive, at first the PC wouldnt reboot because I had it still plugged in, after unplugging it and the PC loaded up, it did not recognize the hard drive anymore. I have tried it on several PCs including the one at home all using Windows 7 and none of them recognize it.
I tried all USB ports on my PC and none of them work, the light on the hard drive is ON so I know there is no connectivity issue. I tried several free/trial softwares even the ones by Seagate and none of them recognized the drive so I cannot use their tools for recovering files or detecting the hard drive.
When I check the Disk Management, it does not show there.
When I check the Device Manager, it does not show under USB controllers but it DOES show under Disk Drives.. I also checked and the drive is up to date.
The Model is BUP Slim BK.
In my quick launch, the drive is recognized there and gives me the option to Eject it but it doesn't actually Eject it when I click on it, it either stop responding or does nothing.. unless I manually unplug it.
EDIT: After a really long time, the Eject message says the device is already in use which is probably why it doesnt Safely eject.

Seagate Driver For Mac
Seagate For Mac Software
- Oct 31, 2013 Are you using the backup software that came with the drive? That may explain why it worked on 10.6 and not 10.8, though would not explain why it no longer works now. You could erase the contents of the drive in Disk Utility by reformating the Seagate drive to Mac OS Extended (journaled), making sure the partition map scheme is GUID.
- Dec 09, 2017 After upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 (home basic) my external portable drive is not recognized. I was using the same in Windows 7 without any problem. Do I have to install a driver for Seagate expansion portable drive (500gb). If so kindly provide the link to download the drive.
