[SOLVED] External hard

[ali_bicolou]

Hello,
i have normal external hard ,is it possible i use it for the mac?? cause when i connect it ,i cant transfer any data to my external hard.

That's because it's formatted NTFS which your MAC can't recognise. you need to format it FAT 32. Remember that will destroy any data on it though.

You can only read NFTS on mac but not write to it

PS: Fat32 limits the max size for a single file to 4GB

Dunno your specific OS
