Hi Tony, 1. Have you checked the cable is firming into the USB port or whatever connection your using… try a different port? Try a different cable
2.Does the external hard drive show in Disk Utility? If you see the external hard drive in Disk Utility, check underneath it for a volume. If it is there click on it and select Mount. If your Mac has already mounted the drive the option Unmount will be displayed instead. 3. If there is NO volume listed your Mac is not able to access the drive. The Mount option will be greyed out. 4. If it does show In Disk Utility - First Aid - Run First Add, it will check the volume for errors. It will then repair the volume if necessary.
