load the driver for mac use, the external hard drive comes with cd, the mac driver should be inside, load it to your mac computer. if you donot have the cd go online to western digital and download it. just load the driver and u will be fine, make sure u connect the cable in right places.

i have the same problem
My drive won't even start. Is there some way to reset it or take some other action to get it to start?
my WD My Book 500GB drive is having the same problem. One day it was working and then i got an error message and now the drive cannot be recognized. i have data on the drive that i need so i have been attempting to get it to mount, with weird results. most of the times i get an error saying that my computer cannot load this drive, but sometimes it works. when it does i can only transfer a small amount and then it crashes. wtf!?!?
