A article I wrote a few months ago show how can data be written to a hard-disk, USB memory or memory card whose volume is formatted in the NTFS system.
NTFS (New Technology File System) is a filesystem developed Microsoft for their systems. Normally, systems Mac OS X can not read Data from the driveBut NTFS CEs can not write. For example, if we connect a hard-disk external, a memory stick or any other data carrier in the NTFS system to one Mac, we can copy the data from the external media to hard-diskCPC Mac-, but we cannot copy data / files to the hard-diskCPC Mac OS X on the external NTFS drive.
Even if you can't normally write data from Mac OS X on NTFS, however, there are ways in which this can be done.
Three methods by which we can copy files from Mac OS X on a drive in NTFS system
The first method is the one presented in the article "How to transfer files from Mac OS X on one hard disk external or NTFS formatted stick". It involves the purchase of software that is installed on OS X. Paragon for NTFS Mac for $ 19.95 or Tuxera for NTFS Mac to $ 31. Paragon Of course recommended solution is that the OS X El Capitan runs in a very quiet, also being the cheapest.
A second method through which you can copy files from OS X to a hard-disk NTFS, comes from Seagate. Seagate offer free for download and install the Paragon NTFS software for those who purchase a hard-disk produced by them.
A third method and the least indicated is from Apple. This is an experimental method for which Apple cannot be held responsible in case of errors, destruction of hard-diskor data loss. Apple Experimental NTFS - Writing Support It involves modifying system files and should keep in mind several requirements.
First make sure that the name hard-diskacquis (label) It is composed of a single word. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal), then execute the command line:
sudo nano / etc / fstab
enter user password on OS X so you can edit the "fstab" file and add the following line to it:
LABEL = NUME_HARD none ntfs rw, auto, nobrowse
Replace “NUME_HARD” with the name in a word of the NTFS drive connected to Mac OS X, then Ctrl+ X and press "Y" to save the changes to "fstab".
After this step, disconnect and reconnect the hard-diskexternal NTFS. Normally it should appear in /Volumes. Open Finder, go to the top menu to Go > Go to Folder and type /Volumes. Access the NTFS drive and check if you can copy files from it Mac OS X on NTFS hard drive.
