Start by right clicking on the drive in the Finder and Get Info. This will show you how the drive is formatted, it's total capacity, Available, and Used space. Note how the drive is formatted. Is it formatted Mac OS Extended or PC-DOS(FAT)? Next open up Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility select your external drive on the left and then click Repair Disk. Sometimes directory errors can cause it to report the disk's capacity incorrectly. If the drive is formatted PC-DOS(FAT) then I would recommend backing up your files and reformatting the drive Mac OS Extended(Journaled). If Repair Disk doesn't work, you may have to reformat the drive anyway in order to fix it. Just make sure to backup your files before reformatting the drive. George

I just plugged in my external and I installed the needed software from the drive, restarted and the drive wasn't found in LaCie Safe Manager. I tried restarting the computer without the drive plugged in, with Firewire and USB, and then I even tried it on my PC -- which it worked on there. How to get sims 4 for mac free.
