Anyone here a "Mac" expert??? I have a Mac, my friend has a PC. I can copy files from him, but when I try to copy files (movies - MP4), I can't do it. The PC formatted hard drive reads fine on the Mac, but the Mac formatted hard drive doesn't show up or is read only and I can't drag any items over to his PC.
I know one is formatted at NTFS and the mac is FAT 32.
Is there an easier way to do this without have to buy another drive??? Is there a compatible drive? |

Are these things you've purchased from the iTunes store?
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. |

I had the same issue, when I first switched over to Mac. This link helped me...

No, these are files that were converted and ripped. |

use macdrive on windows to read and write osx formatted partitions and use macfuse to read and write windows ntfs formatted partitions (osx can read not write ntfs). windows and osx can both read and write FAT32 but that has a file size limit of 4gb
