new macbook pro seagate external hard drive time machine

I don't know if this is part of the problem or not. My internet crashes pretty frequently while other computers in the house are running fine on the modem, videos become choppy and the audio is sometimes off, and things take longer to load, or sometimes it just gets stuck loading. But I don't think there is any damage to either end of the USB connection because it is lighting up when I plug it in.Īround the same time that the computer stopped recognizing the Seagate drive, it started moving slower.

I already attempted to try different USB ports since it is USB connected, in case those were damaged. It is still plugged in and lit up but Finder does not recognize the hard drive. The icon showed on the main screen, and it was automatically backing the computer up.

I bought a Seagate Backup Plus for Mac external hard drive and the computer was recognizing it just fine, all I had to do was plug it in and it lit up. Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3. I have the newest Macbook Pro 13' Retina Display (2015). I've seen similar questions on here but I'm asking anyway because it's starting to annoy me.
