Hi! I just bought my new Macbook Pro and one of the first things I attempted to do was get data from my 750 GB external hard drive. Sadly, it doesn't recognize it! I've been reading other threads with similar problems, but none seem to match up to my situation exactly..
Disk Utility DOES recognize it, but doesn't let me do much with it.
It does NOT show up in System Profiler.
I have tried a different cord with no results.
This hard drive works on my PCs.
I've also noticed that when I click 'Info' in Disk Utility it recognizes it's location as 'Internal'. That doesn't seem right to me. Could that be the problem? And how do I fix it? Thanks, everyone!

Apple yosemite features. Apple check storage space. Apple mac belgium. I accidentally unplugged my 2TB Seagate external drive, and when I pugged it back on, my Mac was still recognizing it, however, when I tried to access its contents, the folders appeared empty, so I tried to eject the drive, but the icon on the desktop was gone, I unplugged it, restarted my Mac, and it did not recognize the external drive.
