- Feb 07, 2016 Re: WD My Passport for Mac won't mount on my Mac Pro in response to Phyllis Ormsby. HI, I have a some what similar problem. I am afraid the drive is in big trouble. In the middle of copying files, I accidentally unplugged it. Now it WILL NOT MOUNT! It shows up in disk utility and passes verification and repair with flying colors.
- Perform disk first aid on 'My Passport for Mac' (disk2s2) Restore file system. The volume has already been deactivated. Run fsckhfs -fy -x / dev / rdisk2s2 File code final code is 8. The original status is reset to deactivated.

By default the iPhoto library is stored in your Pictures folder (not in a my Pictures folder - not sure where you got that) - if you do not have a Pictures folder then you have deleted it - it is there by default on all new Macs
In general for a drive to be used as storage for your iPhoto library it must be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - you can check this by selecting the drive in the finder and getting info - it is is not formatted mac OS extended (journaled) you can reformat it using the MyPassport software or disk utility in your applications folder (note that this erases everything on the disk)
Once you have an extrenal drive that is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)
How To Eject My Passport For Mac
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the 'select library' option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
