  1. If it's only readable because it's NTFS, you can use TxNTFS. I...emm...got it using torrents, for a friend, and it fixed her problem. When you install it your Mac can read and write on NTFS drives.
  2. Still no ntfs write support out of the box? Even linux comes with that since a couple of years.
  3. Not that it would appear unless you format it in OSX and then use it.

    Which is ridiculous, but that's this for you.

    I'll have a look into it. Thanks Ali.
  4. Yep, the format is the issue. Choose the one that is for both Windows and Mac.
  5. couldn't wait any longer now that I've given up my 60gb classic ipod. A day without my ipod playing for me is a lost day, seriously.

    new one arrived today. ipod classic 160gb.... synchronizing with itunes as I type, storage will be used to the max

    me is broke but happy.
  6. Welcome to the 160GB Classic club

  7. you, too?! it's amazing, isn't it. Just like my old baby, but so shiny and with all the new features. I'm in love


  8. No problem mate. Check this site too: http://ntfsonmac.com/
    the one I mentioned is actually Tuxera NTFS, also mentioned on that site.
    It also mentions different free and paid solutions plus a way to enable native support.

  9. Surprised me too...weird, even if it is some kind of absurd competition thing.
  10. You would have thought given Apple's campaign for people to 'switch' - and people coming from a PC / Windows background, they would have NTFS support available. But then again, it is Apple.

    Ali - thanks again. It just floored me how I plugged in both external drives and not one could be written to. Kinda stumped me - and usually I'd find a way around it but you couldn't with what I had. Ah well.
  11. Alright Ali, had a look at Tuxera and I'm now able to copy to my external drive on my Mac. All it took was something simple as that, although it comes up with some 'could not mount' error when I first start the computer.

    Apart from that - it goes beautifully.

    Good to know Drew, glad it helped
    Makes you wonder why they didn't include it natively!
    Had not seen that error, might be something related to your drive, maybe check Tuxera's site for help?
