Mypassport Password On The

And when I unplug the cable it gives me error messages (unplugged wrongly).

Again I have to unplug the cable - or restart the whole computer.

Have you found a solution yet Did a new unit solve the problem.

When the Mac woke from sleep, no files or directories were visible on the drive until I force-ejected and remounted them.

They replaced one of the drives with a My Passport Ultra, and it failed even more catastrophically-- when the Mac woke from sleep, the drives partition table became invisible to the OS, and I had to reboot in order to get it back.

WD tech support was quite difficult to work with, since the case would often be assigned to a new tech support representative every time I replied, and even when it wasnt, they kept responding as if no one had read the conversation thus far.

I had to keep repeating myself and answering the same questions over and over again.

I finally stumbled upon this thread and was inspired to try uninstalling all WD software (including WD Utilities) from my Mac.

Thats a shame, because I also use a My Book Thunderbolt Velociraptor Duo, and WD Utilities is the only way to check the RAID status on the Duo.

I asked them to make a note of known problems on the download page of this software and if I could speak to an engineer to help test and fix the problem.

The MyBook worked perfectly from day one, the MyPassport has been a absolute pain because of the issue described above.

Ive just deleted all the software, hopefully the drive will work as intended now.

I had major problems to even connect to the existing WD MyPassport drive.

I had reactivated the password on the new MacBook, but then I realized that the MyPassport drivefolder was empty every time after the MacBook woke up.

I had to do a hard eject and ignore the warning that some programs are accessing the drive.

For security reasons I prefer to have all data on the MyPassport drive encrypted.

I havent remove the WD utilities so far (WD Drive Utilites and WD Security).

After that, I left iMac unattended to let it go in sleep mode, overnight as well as manually selected Sleep from Apple menu options.

Every time when I woke it up, these WD drives are now being active and all volumes are up and running.

It was supposed to solve a problem, not to be a Problem Thanks again to Yoshi83.
