I am also guessing that the cable is fine, since the passport still lights up as if itвЂ™s working fineДЄnyone else have this issue? If not, any possible tips or idea of whatвЂ™s happening? I donвЂ™t want to purchase a new cable for no reason if something is wrong with the passport itself, but if itвЂ™s last resort itвЂ™s only ~$7 so not a big deal. Only thing I havenвЂ™t tried is using a different cable, as I donвЂ™t have an extra since the connecting cable is unique. Not sure if this would have anything to do with it but IвЂ™ve downloaded all 3 of the newest WD Discovery, Utilities, and Security software IвЂ™ve connected other USB devices and have had no problem seeing them in finder and interacting with them, so itвЂ™s not the ports that arenвЂ™t working.
