im pretty un computer minded to be fair. i have a 1tb hard drive that has wav files on, it was written on a pc. i need to convert them so i can arrange them to my own preferences. do i just do this? with the hard drive conected up ? your help would be great

thanks

[UnholyMist]

@jasonjohnc00 Yeah. Just install the programs, restart, and you'll be able to read and write to that drive. Note that you don't have to have it plugged in to your computer while installing the programs though.

@UnholyMist thanks mate. tried it today with discs though and no good? i even installed the ntfs 3g again.......still dont work. any ideas? they are dvd-r discs containing wav

cheers

[UnholyMist]

@jasonjohnc00 They're discs? Hmm... well there's no reason a disc wouldn't work... even without these programs installed. What Operating System wrote those discs?

its asking me for a serial or a 15-day trial! What do i do?



[UnholyMist]

@ihacklock It shouldn't. Make sure you downloaded NTFS-3G and not Tuxera NTFS... The link in the description takes you there directly.

@UnholyMist are u sayin we shouldnt plug the harddrive to to the mac while the installation proceeds

[AndyTutify]

my hard drive got messed up and its sayin˙ NTFS-3G could not mount /dev/disk1s1 at /Volumes/Iomega 1 beacuse the following problem occured ...

[SWM1988]

Thanks a lot man. This was the easiest of all the videos i searched for to help with read/write on mac.... I have another question though-Is there a program to help with transfer speed on mac? Windows had teracopy which was great...what about mac?

[M41H3M]

THIS WORKS! GOOD JOB! I saw some other videos a few months ago and it didn't work so I gave up.

Thank you for not speeding up the clip and following all of your cursor movements. Not having the install was not a problem in this case as there was nothing tricky about it and the quality of the image didn't matter either.

Thanks again for your help. Please continue to post videos like these as they are very valuable!
