My passport for mac size 1 tb pro#

Number of Folders : 44,146 Number of Files : 125,550 I owned a 1TB My Passport for a matter of hours before it failed and took all of my stuff with it, and opening a support ticket gets a reply that basically says “Try Googling recovery software.”Ĭan anyone please help me? PLEASE! :) I know the files are there. I opened a support ticket with WD and received an email reply that said: I have downloaded and tried out and purchased a half dozen disk repair and recovery utilities. Quick Drive Test and Complete Drive Test both cancel inexplicably.ĭisk utility says it needs to be repaired, but cannot unmount the disk. My local Smartware just says “Quick SMART Ststus Failed” When I look in Smartware, it shows “Additional files: 279GB” which is my stuff! The application is damaged.” And now… even the Virtual Smartware CD appears to be EMPTY. If I try to run anything on the Virtual Smartware CD, it would say “There is an error. If I try to check the disk, it gets to 90% and says it was cancelled, though I cancelled nothing. Then I tried EVERYTHING, starting with Smartware, which failed. Then they were there but they were empty. According to the system, 290GB was indeed used… all the files I copied over… but they were no longer available. But wait! I checked again later and the folders were there, but they were all empty. I copied some MP3s over and… poof… I got a message saying that the folder was unavailable.I opened up the folder (it did still exist) and now it was empty. I was opening files and not having problems. Here is what happened: All of the files copied onto the drive nicely. I’ve got a backup elsewhere, but it is from 6 months or more ago. Well, in that briefest of moments, the drive failed. For a brief moment in time, every important file in my life existed only on the 1TB My Passport. So, I started moving files around between drives. I decided that this drive was so good-looking and so small and had such capacity that I wanted it to be my main drive and I would backup to my other drive. I brought it home and started figuring out a new backup scheme. I bought this drive on Friday afternoon of last week.
