My iMac has stopped recognizing this hard drive. I have unplugged all the cable and plugged back in, but nothing. Any idea what to do?

You might have to get Spinrite. I don't think they have a Mac version of that program so you might have to seek out friend with a PC to run that program on it. 9 times out of 10 that program can fix hdd. Unfortunately since it's such a big Hdd it might take some time to complete it's routine.

plug it into another computer to test if it can connect. If not, hope you have a backup strategy in place. The trade off for speed, on this device, is reliability.

I would think that the best answer to this question could come from an actual iMac repair person, there are times when the seller can tell you what systems the memory sticks are compatible with. If they can't provide this info drop in to your nearest BestBuy or call and ask, I'm sure you do not want to waste cash or cause damage to you computer to find it's not compatible. Also check they packaged disc or information for your Mac system online, it might point you in the right direction...best of luck!

Make sure it's a mac formatted hard drive, re-format on your computer if you're unsure. It's hardware not software, what won't be compatible ? USB3 connects to Yosemite same way it connected to Maverick or Mountain lion.

For me it just worked as is - plug it in using the provided USB cable, and the drive icon will show up on your desktop after several seconds. You can re-format it with Apple's file system (HFS+) if you only intend to use it with Apple computers, but the default should work fine too.

Sending outback MacBook Pro would not recognize the drive or if it recognized the drive it said the computer could not read it.

I ran into the same problem. I ended up contacting the seller. I ended up upgrading to an iMAC or HP product.

It should recognize is, there should be an updated drive to view it. Check the Seagate website for that.

Hello, I use it on a mac pro, but when I install the hard drive from my old imac worked fine, the connectors are the same.

Check to make sure your iMac "Thunderbolt Port" is actually that. Your problem may be that the port is actually a display port and not a Thunderbolt. They are shaped exactly the same.

I bought one of these drives to put in an older MacBook. I would suggest you remove the old old hard drive (it's very easy, takes 5 mins) Read the spec written on the hard drive and if this matches the new drive, should help ensure it will work. If your unsure how to remove, you tube it. Hope this helps

This is a server edition hard drive with Sas interface, the iMac has a Sata interface, check this link https://es.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+27-Inch+EMC+2309+and+2374+Hard+Drive+Replacement/1634, so this is not the correct hard drive

I have this exact hard drive - purchased it this weekend. It needs to be formatted FAT 32. It works perfectly with my Mac and PC.
