My Passport For Mac Convert To Windows
I have eventually got my personal mac, the problem is I have a WD My Passport portable HD, with all my art, photos, and data I had done with the PC. I wish to copy files from my mac to the drive, it wont allow me. Insert the USB flash drive into an available USB port on the Mac. Wait a moment for the flash drive icon to appear on the desktop. Double-click the USB flash drive icon to open a window and display the contents from the drive. Locate the JPG files on the Mac that you want to convert over to a PC.
I'm not sure. When I bought the drive several years ago I only owned that Macbook Pro so it's quite possible I did. What would I need to do to make it recognizable by both? Then it probably formatted as HFS or HFS+ then.
There are some free utilities that let you read HFS from windows but not write. OSX can read NTFS but not write. If you plan on regularly moving data back and forth paragon's NTFS on Mac or HFS on windows are highly regarded and fairly cheap. You only need one.
Checking for updates on mac says internet down internet working. • To exit, press Control-X. • At the filename prompt, press Enter.
There are a couple of file systems both can read but they don't handle 1Tb very gracefully. Edit: exFAT would work pretty well for you actually. But only if you have windows 7/8 and OSX snow leopard or newer.
Hey there, Logan! You'd need to use a Mac to reformat your WD My Passport in a file system that can be read by Windows. The Mac is needed to store your files from the external HDD until you've reformatted it for use with Windows OS, because this change will result in erasing all the data on the drive. To avoid such future incidents, I recommend using the FAT32 file system because this format can be read and written to by both operating systems. Here's a tutorial that explains how to perform this: Hope this helps!
