MY BOOK LIVE
USER MANUAL

Shutting Down

One of the recommended ways to safely reboot and shut down your My Book Live 
drive is to use the WD Quick View icon.

Note:  Another preferred method is to use the Dashboard. (See “Reboot/

Shutdown” on page 67.) If the unit does not shut down using either 
recommended method, see “How do I safely shut down the My Book 
Live?” on page 113.

1.   Select Shut Down on the WD Quick View submenu to display the WD 

SmartWare Shut Down screen.

2.   Enter the administrator’s password or leave blank and then click the OK button. 

The drive shuts down.

In both Windows and Mac systems, the WD Quick View icon flashes to indicate the 
drive may be overheated or about to fail. In Windows, a balloon alert displays as 
well.

Note:  If the drive overheats, power it down and let it cool for 60 minutes. Power 

it back on, and if the problem persists, contact WD Support.

Important:  Before shutting down, make sure no file transfers are going on. Check 

the LED on the front of the drive to make sure it is not blinking. Blinking 
indicates that the unit is processing information (for example, backing up 
or transferring files).
