I have an older WD MyBookLive 3TB model WDBACG0030HCH-00
I want to return it to its original glory to factory default. However Since I have a new computer 27" iMac running MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 I cannot install any of the software that came with the hard drive as it doesn’t seem to be compatible with my new computer.
I’m able to see and access the drive fine within FINDER. I can browse around perfectly fine no issues. What I’m trying to do is use this hard drive as a music server and I need to verify/change some settings so that it can be seen/access to a Audio/Video Receiver that appears to able to only see Windows PC hard drives. Also, I need to be able to format the hard drive.
I was told to download “WD Access for Mac” and this would allow me to do all of these things but once the software was installed on the very first screen it should show your WD hard drive and mine is not showing up. My MyBookLive hard drive is connected to my router and it is on the same network as I can access it via the FINDER window on my iMac.
Any help or ideas?
