Passport folder for mac for mac#
I had originally formatted the My Passport as APFS so I reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and reformatted the My Passport for Mac when partitioning to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as well because that’s what our computer repair store guy told me to do since I was using it for Time Machine. I ended up formatting both of the external drives, partitioning the Passport for Mac to only use one partition for Time Machine and the other for saving files and formatting the My Passport and they are both still doing what they did before… working fine but then after they are plugged in for some time, won’t show files and I need to force eject because it says one or more programs are using them. Could this be a corrupted file causing a problem or possibly Mojave causing issues? I have no idea what to do other than possibly get a whole new external hard drive from a different company to see if that works.

I got another My Passport (this time not for Mac so I formatted it for Mac) and moved everything to that external hard drive to use instead and now that one is doing the same thing as my My Passport for Mac. I ran the first aid through disk utilities and everything was fine with the external hard drive. It will show all my files just fine when I plug it in but after some time, files are no longer showing and I have to force eject it. After some time has gone by, this keeps happening over and over. I plugged it back in and I could see everything fine, tried to eject it and it ejected with no problems. I tried to eject it and it said one or more programs were using it and I had to force eject it.

Then, all of a sudden one day, I could see the folders in there but no files were showing. I have a My Passport for Mac and it has been working fine for over a year or so.
