Are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

Files aren't ntfs or hfs or ufs or zfs.
Those are file systems that is the basis for how the OS stores the files on the computer. Files are store inside a file system, but the file system doesn't normally affect the file itself.
Mac OS X can natively read nt file systems. If you want to write, then you'll need something like Siddharth Khanna pointed out. I've also used Tuxera's product. You can use a combination of MacFuse and NTFS-3G for free, but if you need normal everyday access, that's going to fall short, I think.
On the other hand, Windows can't natively handle HFS+ at all. If you need to format an external drive to work with both, I'd suggest using exFAT. Mac OS X from 10.6.6 on can read and write it, and Windows back to some version of XP can read/write it. As the name implies, it is much like FAT, but on steroids. It can handle very large file sizes and disk sizes.

  • Logic Pro 9.0.2. compatability with Mac OS Lion

    My old Mac crashed and I had to get a new one. Now my Logic Pro 9.0.2. version which was fully compatible with Snow Leopard, for some reason does not want to work with the new Mac OS Lion. Is there any way around getting an upgrade to get this program working again? Thanks!

  • Is Photoshop elements 11 compatible with Mac Mountain lion?

    Is Photoshop elements 11 compatible with Mac Mountain Lion?

    the older version of Photo Shop is no longer supported.
    Don't know which version you mean, but if you mean PSE, then versions 6 and up will work.
    You can't migrate any version of PSE, though, from one disk to another. It must be installed freshly on each machine, since adobe doesn't care about the apple developer guidelines and PSE is not a tidy mac app package--the PSE installer strews stuff all over your hard drive, and you can never move it and get all the necessary bits.
    What I was talking about is if you had a computer with 10.6 or 10.7 and PSE installed on it and then upgraded to mountain lion. In that case it's essential to go into the user library and delete any existing preference files before running it after installing 10.8.
    The instructions to install PSE in mountain lion are to put the disc the drive or to double click the downloaded .dmg file to mount it, and then to run the installer.

    Why do you feel that you need a USB modem? I would think that you should be able to use a standard ADSL modem, connecting it to your phone line on one end and via Ethernet to your Mac Pro at the other end.

  • Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?

    I have just bought a new Mac and would like to know if Elements 10 will work on it please.

    I am strictly an Elements Windows user but try to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to give a viable response to Premiere Elements Mac questions.
    On this one, I suspect that the bottom line is going to be "try it" and see what happens in your specific computer environment.
    Please review the discussion in the following thread
    Re: Premiere Elements 10 crashes on disc templates
    Also, you are in for major display problems with Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
    There the fix is to roll back the driver version to May 2013 in order to get Premiere Elements 10 to function properly.
    Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome when your schedule permits.
    Thank you.

    Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
    You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
    Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
    To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.

  • Problems with FileVault 2 on my iMac mid 2007 with Mac OS LION on it

    Hi guys !
    Get a problem with FileVault 2 on my iMac mid 2007 with MAC OS LION on it. FileVault 2 works, but after rebooting my system, it was unpossible to select an account with the cursor of my trackpad. No chance.
    Before activate Filevault 2 the trackpad works fine. No problems to select an account. Anybody else with the same problem ?
    Regards
    Volker

    Hi EVO67 !
    I checked out your solution, but.... sorry it doesn't works.
    So I cut off the bluetooth connection of the magic trackpad from my iMac and pair it again, but the problem is the same.
    May be it's bigger bug with LION, so I need an update for this function.
    But thank you very much for your help.
    Regards

    That's a pretty old version, significantly predating Mac OS X 10.6, so I doubt it will be compatible. I'd suggest you contact the developer of PowerCADD and ask them:
