The feature even has a name, but I've been unable to find it. I am certain that there is a feature in the firmware of the drive that may be part of the problem.
With this annoying problem at least temporarily fixed, the
#Seagate backup plus slim 2tb not recognized mac driver#
I still don't know whether the problem lies with the Seagate Drive (firmware or software) or with the Windows 8,1 driver for the USB 3.0 drive (apparently a generic driver provided by Microsoft). (Every 15 minutes worked for me.) I've been using this "fix" for several weeks and the drive has not gone to sleep during that time. It simply writes a very small text file to the drive every few minutes, thereby keeping the drive from going to sleep due to inactivity. With the company or person who wrote this program but it appears to be clean and free of viruses and malware. If not check the USB connectors on The motherboard that if it’s working or not through another media. If not then please replace the cable and try it. Look for a freeware program called KeepAliveHD. Answer (1 of 4): The reason may be one or two, firsst check the cable, whether check it is working or not. I finally resorted to a workaround that has eliminated the problem unti Seagate realizes that this is indeed widespread. Would stop the drive from "going to sleep" during periods of inactivity. I also tried different cables, switching to USB 2.0, and trying a different computer (also WIndows 8.1). I downloaded Seagate Dashboard Agent and made sure the drive was set to Never Sleep.
Then after a few hours the drive would no longer be recognized. I could usually revive the drive by disconnecting the power cable, unplugging the USB cable,Īnd then reconnecting both. The video walks you through using startheremac to register your Seagate hard drive for warranty. You can watch this 1 minute 52 second video. I also started having this same problem with my 4TB Backup Plus USB 3.0 external drive after updating my operating system to Windows 8.1. There you can register your Seagate Backup drive.
