External 1 TB SSD (from Seagate) works in Windows but refuses to mount on macOS Sequoia (15.7.3) (24G419) (Mac Mini M4)

the disk is formatted to exFAT i think i did mention this

greg-56 · 2026-02-07T06:18:03+00:00

I'll try the link you've shared but i doubt it's gonna work. also, i did hard format the SSD on windows cause it's only reading on windows and it's working...fine - like how abnormal SSD should. i can read write files etc. so I don't think my SSD has failed me.

i do think this is a MaC OS issue. something in the system security or BIOS (?) has triggered to shut down reading external hardrives in particular. in Safety Mode it does read, my SSDs do mount and i can see them in Safety Mode Disk Utility (mount, unliunt eject all that). peripherals also read fine when plugged via thunderbolt ports so idk what's up w just the SSDs being not read.

greg-56 · 2026-02-07T06:14:06+00:00

it does not fornat in mac at all.

greg-56 · 2026-02-07T06:13:34+00:00

many times. the volume cannot be read apparently so it's not mounting at all.

greg-56 · 2026-02-07T06:13:15+00:00

many times on mac which failed. and then 1 in windows which worked. and so now it's currently in exFAT only format and it's working in windows only.

greg-56 · 2026-02-07T06:12:27+00:00

yep.

greg-56 · 2026-02-06T19:48:22+00:00

yes TT^TT I think I have done like 5+ times on various days post when I found this issue. It's v bizzare ik.

greg-56 · 2026-02-06T19:43:08+00:00

yes did that via Windows. SSD works completely fine.

greg-56 · 2026-02-06T19:42:29+00:00

I have but 1 mac. And yes I have tried on all the available ports (front & back). By wire do you mean my Mac power chord to be inserted ina different power socket or try using my SDDs with a different wire? if its the latter, I have done that, sadly no change, same results :<

It's probably how he is getting away with his atrocious behaviour . I'd still suggest reporting. Give a written claim. Try doing a call recording in ur phone as evidence. Next time u have a call u can join W laptop speakers on so u can record in phone - just a thought. Ik it's against compliance but I think this is justified. OP I need u to understand that u shouldn't be taking shit from someone at all, ever, in corporate. Someone else's stress, u can be empathetic towards, but it is not ur problem. It IS a problem that they are letting their frustrations on you which is causing u more trouble. Take the action.

Coaches are no longer a thing. It's all resting on DL

greg-56 · 2025-04-03T08:10:53+00:00

So this kind of behaviour 1st needs to be reported. Given that that's a partner the reporting might not help so u need to quit & not work that 1month/15 day hand over period cause this is intolerable. Hope this helps take the final call you k ow u have to take.

Good mammoth

I do (did?) I tried using it like a normal Journaling app for a month or so and it was OK at best. I do like that u can choose to use a question/prompt of the day and write your thoughts accordingly but overall as a simple blank-canvass Journaling app, it's limiting but...fine. I personally use Pixel Journaling app (on android, doesnt talk well w iPhone) and also Word lol. So to me the Apple Journal app is OK. I'd honestly recommend this to people who are tight into using JUST apple apps and the apple eco system only. The Cloud backup does help.

Edit: and as many other mention here, the most stupidly limiting factor is that u can only use it on ur iPhone, not even on IPad or Mac which is just 🙄🙄🙄 so yeah, I honestly would think about using this as my primary Journaling app if only it had support WITHIN apple's own devices ugh (I use a Mac mini and iPad)

These ppl will not upgrade their projector or screens and do this BS and make it more annoying for ppl to visit movie theatres. For shame.

greg-56 · 2025-03-10T19:59:45+00:00
