Hi,
Been using an external USB drive with my 2016 MacBook Air for 5yrs but this week it failed to load up and connect , so I bought a maxone 500GB external usb drive which arrived today .
I plugged it in , bleeping sound from hard drive and blue light one but no indication the drive was showing on the MacBook , I was expecting it to show on the desktop like my previous one did .
Looked in the system report on the Mac and I can see the maxone listed in the usb setting , no external disks are shown in the disc utility and not found in Time machine preferences where I wanted to access it for back up purposes .
Any ideas ?
TIA
