What Are The Steps To Connect The External Hard Drive To Apple Macbook Pro?

Steps To Connect The External Hard Drive To Apple Macbook Pro

In general, when you connect an external hard drive to your PC, you insert its cable and it gets connected. But the method is not the same in MacBooks. In MacBook Pro or any other MacBook, the hard drive must be formatted with a file system your system can support. Whenever you format a drive, all its data get removed.

If you pre-format hard drive as NTFS then the Mac OS X will only be able to detect data from and won’t be able to write any data of it. Apple Store Repair here teaches to connect the drive, follow the steps given below:

  • Plug the hard drive into the Mac: Many hard drivers have a feature to connect via USB, so plug the USB cable into an open port of our Macbook.
  • Some drives of Macbook may come with a Thunderbolt or FireWire lead. If you have this then make the correct connection or if you do not have a proper port on your Mac, get an adapter.
  • Now you need to check drive on your Mac’s desktop. If the drive is formatted and connected properly, it appears on your desktop with a USB icon.
  • The drive icon may not appear on your desktop so check it in the left frame of any Finder Window below the ‘Devices’ option’.
  • Click the Finder menu and select Preferences. Check the ‘External disks’ box to set the driver to appear on your screen.
  • If you can’t find the drive in Finder, move ahead of the next steps.
  • Give double-click on the drive to open it to view its contents. You can drag and drop files into the hard drive or copy files to your Mac’s internet memory.
  • Open the Disk Utility by clicking the Go menu on desktop and then click on ‘Disk Utility’.
  • Choose the hard drive from the list of all connected drives.
  • At the top of the window, click on the ‘Erase’ button and the formatting will begin.
  • From the format menu, select ‘ExFat’.
