I had issues with installing MyBook Home edition to my G4 via USB. The ExHDD would power up buit wouldnt automatically show on my desktop until I turned it off again and on then it would appear.
It seesm that there was a fault with the Button manager.img.
I uninstalled Button manager IMG which comes with the disc and voila it now powers up and down and shows on my desktop without having to switch on-off.
So:
Removing Button Manager is a little awkward however this should work.
Go to Applications > Utilities
Click on Terminal
Paste this in: sudo /usr/bin/uninstall-WDButtonManager
Hit enter, you will be prompted for your password.
Reboot
The hard disk should now behave like a normal usb disk.
Hope this helps anyone esle who comes across this issue.
Cheers
