I followed the steps on a OSX 10.6.8 system, with an external backup drive formatted as NTFS. All looked okay, until I actually copied files to a folder from the Mac to the external drive. It CORRUPTED the folder I put files in, and now I can't see any of the files that were there previously :| Is there any way to undo this? Is the data lost forever?

[qbert80]

Doesn't work with OS X 10.7

[GMasis001]

[yerkin91]

[MysteriousKiwi]

My left ear enjoyed this video. :)

[mmica]

You really got me out of a jam. Thanks man :)

[jrhitokiri]

Worked like a charm for me. thanks. :)

[xtraloud]

can you please explain how this actually works? what are the commands that you use doing? i am just puzzled that a few commands can allow writing on a different file system.

[trevor2522utube]

Waste of time. Hard drive completely unmountable. Useless presentation and pathetic instructions.

[JpHendrix41]

I dont get it... I did the exact same thing it didn't work do you have any idea? I'd appreciate it!

[bygone87]

Hi,

can you give us an update?

Any problems in the long term? crashes etc..?

[PlaceHolder245]

Thank you much! VERY helpful tutorial!

[jfchezt]

i followed everything, and i still cant get my external to work. :( i have mbp os x 10.6.7

[Sytrusze]

@jfchezt me neither :( have you got it to work?

[flyinbrian87]

It worked...But its not allowing me to MOUNT it back onto my mac. Its a USB Seagate Free Agent GO portable hard drive. How can I undo this? When I go to MOUNT it says it is unable to MOUNT and tells me to run First Aid. I clicked First Aid and no options are available to me. I appreciate your response asap...I need this hard drive to run my DJ company. :) Thanks.

[get2siva]

This is a useful video. I'm new to mac (bought it last week only) and was not prepared for this.  I had backed up all my data on the external HDD. But was unable to add / amend data on that until I saw your tutorial. Thanks a ton ! Please keep the good work up.

[ruimpinho]

uuid does not appear on disk utility! What do i do now?

[nambiker]

i tried this on my macbook and i still cannot write to my bootcamp ntfs drive, does it matter if my windows is in 64bit?? and how do i delete the process so that ii can try it again??

[mannym1732]

Is there any way to undo this?

[TheWargasmic]

Didn't work.

[ZackaryVS]

Thanks man! This worked, I don't know why they don't make it standard to read and write... Anyways, now I'm able to back up data on my NTFS external HDD! :D

[steinafl]

Didn't work for me

[Finutanslask]

Thanks!!!!

[njujorka]

What am I doing wrong or what am I missing? Every step seems pretty simple and I did it a few times over now and still won't work. Please help.

[njujorka]

thanks for this video, but I followed your instructions and it still won't write to my drive. Is this for all OSX? Will this work on OSX 10.5.8?

[archer78af]

worked perfectly, thanks!

[toutaaaaaaa]

why is this not working for me , i have osx and i followed all ur steps and tried it 5 times already and still didnt work , i cant put anything on my external harddrive.

is there something im doin wrong or does that just not work with external hdd ?

[darthcertde]

@toutaaaaaaa I got it working with my external HDD. I was in the same boat as you, trying like five times, but I got it going.

[RuudVervoort]

thanks for the info. i was a bit to heasty.

thanks

[RuudVervoort]

hello everyone,

as i see is this a great tutorial but i have a problem. I can't type my password in the teminal. it does'nt do anything. when i type somthing in it does not appear on the screen. when i have to type in the sudo nano thing there is no problem. wat can i do

thanks

[cescfabregas213]

@RuudVervoort Don't worry thats the way terminal works.... just type your password and click enter and it will go through....

[narpalrayat]

@cescfabregas213 Hello, I'm new to Mac's, and following your instructions, but could you tell me which password it requires because I'm trying the usual system password and it failed, thanks

[mt124816]

@cescfabregas213 i don't have a password. How can I create?

[UberLifeTroll]

@cescfabregas213 Good job kid! I'm really impressed with your elite computer skills.

[Lordhumunculus]

when i finally typed the last command i press enter and it doesent take me to the last page to type exit instead it goes down like it would do in a word processor any ideas ???? help anyone

[cescfabregas213]

@Lordhumunculus you have to control-x not enter.

[nttell]

Great tutorial.

I have 1 question though: what program did you use to record this? I have screenflow, but that doesn't have the ability to show the keys you press on your keyboard. So could you please tell me how you managed to pull that off?

Thx

[cescfabregas213]

@nttell I use screen flow. Here is a screenshot on how to do it. I'll pm you the screen shot.

[DEEZTV]

good tutorial! ;) i really needed this one

[ruttyj92]

thanks for your password... lol and thanks a bunch for this... i find it funny no one has made an app to do this :/

[cescfabregas213]

@ruttyj92 yah... lol I tried to make an app for it but failed miserably, i couldn't change the fstab file via applescript. Changed the password as soon as I saw the video!

[sanjeevmehmi25]

Worked great Thanks

[daddiodak]

It worked. Thanks. Very Cool.

[cescfabregas213]

@daddiodak use it all the time for bootcamp and my hackintoshes
