Looks like my fridge may have done the opposite.
Many years ago I used heat and cold to help troubleshoot digital circuitry hoping to change an intermittent problem into a permanent one. As I sit here writing this 24 hours later, it is still successfully backing up my Mac. Once the system detects your connected drive and mounts it for use, you’ll see a new hard drive icon on the desktop. Step 1 To start the process, connect your WD My Passport drive to your Mac system. When I took it out and connected it to my Mac, voila, it was now recognized and actually completed a fairly large backup. So, follow the steps mentioned below on your system. I proceeded to order a replacement drive, and then on a lark, I put my passport in the fridge for an hour or so. I downloaded the WD drive utilities and the first test, Drive Status Check, passed, but the Quick Drive Test failed. When I opened the Mac drive utilities, the wheel just continued to spin forever when I had the drive plugged into the USB port. After using My Passport drive for about 3 years for Time Machine backups, yesterday my Mac failed to mount it so Time Machine kept waiting for it to be available. Please help! I cannot lose the data on the hard drive! I can only assume that the problem that caused her Mac to restart also corrupted my hard drive somehow. While it was doing this, her Mac “Restarted because of problem” and since then the my hard drive that was connected has the problems above. It was preparing the backup for some time because it had been a while since it had been backed up.

It is also used as the Time Machine for my girlfriend’s 2011 15-inch MacBook Pro and the problem started when I tried to do a Time Machine backup on her computer this morning.
I have had the hard drive for a couple of years and it has always worked perfectly. Is there some way I can repair the hard drive and avoid losing all my data? Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required. The volume could not be verified completely. Also, when I start up Disk Utility, it takes a long time to appear on the list on the left hand side and when it does and I attempt to use First Aid, it fails and gives the following text:

I also use it as a portable external hard drive to store other important files and my iTunes library. I have a 2TB WD My Passport for Mac that I use as the Time Machine for my mid-2010 13-inch MacBook Pro.
