I just purchased a My Passport Ultra and follow the included instructions to reformat for mac and down load disk image. When I run the WD Smartware installer from the diskimage it just hangs. I search edand found a recent update for mac ( release 1.3.7 (updated 1/6/2015) )which I downloaded and ran. When I run WD SmartWare, the backup and retrieve tabs are not available, nor is the Setup Drive.

Again, I ran

Wd Smartware Update For Mac
Either the uninstaller does not work properly, or the uninstaller leaves those files in place for a reason. I don't know how to tell which it is. The files in question are copyright Western Digital, but this directory normally does contain some third-party files, for example, a bunch of ATTO drivers. Google does not find me any clear descriptions of what these files do.
Can you confirm that your system, which does not contain these files, DOES contain an external Western Digital drive and that it works properly without them?
