I recently bought a 2011 MacBook Air which is running 10.9.1.
I purchased this computer because I recently left my job where I was issued an older, white MacBook, which I believe was running 10.4. (Not sure of the exact specs.) Before I left the job I brought in an external to transfer files I wanted to keep on me. The external is a 2 gig drive that worked perfectly with my older MacBook.
When I first plugged it in to my 2011 Air, I couldn’t write to the drive, only read. I did a little research and found that it was because the external is formatted to NTFS, not FAT32 or exFAT.
What I’m trying to understand is this: How come my older MacBook could read and write to the drive, but my newer one can’t?
