Appologize for hi-jacking the thread somewhat, but I was going to post pretty much the same question. I currently have a Windows PC. I have an external hard drive formatted in NTFS. On this external hard drive I have pictures, MP3 files, iTunes folder (which contains all the stuff I have on my iPhone, iPad and iTunes libraries). I'm planning on getting an iMac early next year and was wondering if I would be able to connect the NTFS external hard drive to my iMac, and then basically copy the contents of it to the relevant place on my iMac?

I have read that there is native NTFS r/w support in Mac OS X, which is not enabled by default. This is the method I have found (I haven't tried yet): • Uninstall other NTFS software, like Paragon, Tuxera or NTFS-3G. • Run Terminal in Spotlight. • Type 'diskutil info /Volumes/volname', where volname is the name of the NTFS volume. From the output, copy the Volume UUID value to the clipboard. • Type 'sudo nano /etc/fstab.' • Type 'UUID=xxx-xxx-xxx none ntfs rw', where xxx-xxx-xxx is the UUID you copied. • Save and quit nano by typing Control-X, Y, and then Enter. • Restart your system. ![]() Quickbooks for mac crash. I was facing same problem and i've found a solution that works perfectly for me and i can write on NTFS: 1- Install OSXFUSE == > The most important part is to check the compatibility layer within installation otherwise it wont work 2- Install fuse_wait pkg 3- Install ntfs-3g 2010.10.2 and remove the MacFuse from the customized installation (if you couldn't, just after installation, go to preference and remove the MacFuse) 4- Reboot your macbook, et Voila. It'll work 🙂 i've got this info from this link Hope that would help 🙂 Cheers, Soha.
