With Ventura 13.2 I no longer see any external hard Disk

Apple just dropped Ventura 13.5 yesterday so update to it and see if the problem persists. There's been 2 or 3 updates since 13.2. It's in the App Store now.

Hello Endrix70,

"Connect a storage device

• Connect the device to your Mac using the cable that came with it, then use the Finder to view the connected device.
• If the cable doesn’t have a connector that fits in your Mac, you may be able to use an adapter. See the documentation that came with the device.

Move files to or from an external storage device

1. Make sure your Mac is connected to the external storage device (for example, using a USB cable or over a network).
2. Click the Finder icon  in the Dock to open a Finder window, then do one of the following to move your files.

• Move files to the storage device: Select one or more files on the desktop or in a folder, then drag them to the storage device, listed below Locations in the Finder sidebar.
• Move files from the storage device: Select the storage device, listed below Locations in the Finder sidebar, then drag the files you want to a location on your Mac."

Cheers!

I just updated to 13.5 yesterday and I cannot see my external hard drives. 10 TB of photographs for my business. I can see the external drive in disk utility, but unable to perform first aid. This is my livelihood, I can't waste hours of my time on an issue that Apple creates. FFS.

I'm having the same problem. Your answer isn't an answer. It's a software issue. Please fix it.

In my case the external Hard Disk is NTFS for Mac, I have given its software full disk access and I can also see it in both the application and Disk Utility, but I cannot mount it.

Cheers

I can not mount my external hard disc on on ventura 13.4.1. Please suggest a solution to this quickly.
