9 Ways to Fix Iomega External Hard Drive not Showing up on Mac

Check if the Iomega External Hard Drive is Inserted Correctly

If the USB cable or HDMI cable is not connected properly, your Iomega External Hard Drive will not appear on your desktop.

Data Cable Failure

Assuming it is properly inserted, without shaking or loosening, the cable may malfunction. Try connecting the same device with a different cable.

The USB or Flash Drive Port is Damaged

This may be a hardware issue with the Mac. Try connecting your Iomega External Hard Drive to another port on your computer.

Restart Your Mac

Sometimes, if the USB disk fails to boot, the cause is macOS. Restart can fix the problem. Choose Apple menu > Restart. Or press and hold the power button, when the dialog box appears, click 'Restart' or press R.

Incorrectly Formatted Iomega External Hard Drive

Not every Iomega External Hard Drive is optimized for Mac. It may be that you are trying to connect to content that is only suitable for interacting with Windows devices. If you have a PC or laptop, it's worth connecting and seeing if you can access these files from other devices. The best way to find a malformed drive is to go to

Apple (in the top toolbar menu) > About This Machine > Storage. Check to see if the Iomega External Hard Drive is shown there. For more information, go to the same menu option and select System Report.

The Mac is not Formatted to Display an External Drive on the Desktop

It may be that your Mac has recognized the device, but it just doesn't display its icon on the desktop screen. Even in this case, the Iomega External Hard Drive will still appear in the left column of the Finder menu under Devices. You should be able to access your drive in this way, and in the Finder menu under Preferences > General, you can check the External Drive to make sure it will also show up on your desktop.

Driver Iomega Hdd For Mac Free

hi - i've just bought an Iomega eGo Helium Portable Hard Drive for my Mac OS X 10.4 laptop. It will not mount on the desktop, but is instantly found on my office's windows based computer. i would guess that my laptop is not getting power to the portable hard drive as it is not found, nor does the unit light up (indicating it's active.)
the laptop's disk preferences indicate that hard drives will mount on the desktop?
does anyone have any ideas as to how to trouble shoot getting power to a periphial?
thanks
