[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1772801, member: 46727"] If the Seagate works normally with your MacBook and not your iMac, then what's going on that's different between them? Is your MacBook running Sierra same as your iMac? Also, we are assuming the 4TB Seagate drive is USB 3? Have you tried using a different USB 3 cable? I'm beginning to suspect that the drive is not getting enough power to appear on the desktop but does show up in Disk Utility. That would be odd since it seems to be getting enough power when you're in Windows 10. But, I've seen stranger things happen with external hard drives. [/QUOTE]
