Hi there,
I used to use a LaCie F.A Porsche 3.5 500GB external HD to backup my iMac's 500GB HD. It used to work perfectly, then I bought a WD 750GB drive, it sucked, it broke, I sent it back.
So now I get my LaCie out the cupboard, plug it into my iMac (tried all different USB ports) and it wouldn't show up in Finder OR disk utility. I thought oh great this one can't of died too. So I plugged it into my MacBook and it mounts perfectly.
What's the deal?
I restarted my iMac, reset the SMC thing, tried turning it on before plugging it in, repaired disk on MacBook, erased disk on macbook, zero'd out disk on MacBook, tried formatting as FAT32 on MacBook (they all succeeded, but still wouldn't show on my iMac). I'm really starting to stop believing 'it just works' for OS X, I have nothing but problems.
Please help I'm tearing my hair out.
