Hello. Can I use Seagate Expansion (650 GB full) with Windows and Mac?

I can read files from it but I cant write data! I don't want to format it because I got about 650 GB on it and I don't want to lose it! Can you solve my problem?
MacBook Air (Mac OS X Lion) and Hp Pavilion dv6700 (Windows7)!
REMEMBER THAT I NEED A SOFT WORKING WITH MAC OS X LION!!!

I think someone already pointed you to NTFS-3G, but you apparently didn't fully investigate the product offerings.
Here's a direct link to the commercial version: http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-for-mac/

  • Want to use a Lacie External Hard Disk with Windows and Mac? Can I?...

    Hi, I've just purchased a Lacie Extreme D2 external hard disk, I'm looking to use it to move film clips from my Mac G5 to my Sony Vaio laptop. I'll connect the Mac using Firewire 1 and the PC using USB 1.
    I understand there is an issue with setting the compaitibility of the hard disk to either Mac or Windows format but I'm wondering if I can set it to both, so it's possible to transfer these files? The hard disk is Windows and Mac compatible but does it have to be partitioned a certain way?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Format the drive as FAT or use the Mac format (HFS Extended) and install MacDrive on the PC.

    Macs can read Windows formatting so if your iPod was first used and formatted on a PC you should have no issue with using it as a removable hard drive on the Mac: How to determine your iPod's disk format
    Just for reference, iPods formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Mac formatted iPods can only be used on a PC that has a third party helper program such as XPlay or MacDrive installed.

  • Can I use one LR license on both a PC and Mac?

    Do I have to buy two of the Lightroom product to be able to use it on my Windows computer at work and my MacBook Pro at home?

    You can use the disks on both Windows and Mac unless you purchased a single platform download.

  • Portable Hard drive formating for use with windows and mac operating system

    Just bought a verbatim sure fire 500g 800 firewire portable hard drive for my new macbook pro. I have not did bootcamp yet because I am deciding on wether to use Vista or the new windows 7 that will be coming out soon. The drive is already formated HFS+, how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it. Help!!!

    how do I format the drive so I can write both windows and mac files to it.
    Either format it to MS-DOS from the DIsk Utility, or install a tool such as MacDrive into Windows and keep the drive in its current format, or install the NTFS-3G driver into Mac OS X and format the drive to NTFS in Windows.

  • Where can I down load older versions of FireFox for windows and Mac for testing my application? I need to have copies of version 3, 4 and 5.

    My tesm develops .net applications that must support many browsers and we need access to download older versions of FireFox for windows and mac computers, so that we can test our application prior to rolling out a new version.
    Where can I download older versions of FireFox

    Firefox 3.5 is an antique version that is chock-full of security vulnerabilities.<br>
    Firefox 3.6 also contains security vulnerabilities; it stopped being supported on April 24.
    * [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/ www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/]
    If you can't run the latest version because your system doesn't meet the requirements, it's highly recommended that you use another browser that is secure. TenFourFox is a third-party build of Firefox that is kept up-to-date and runs on Mac OS X 10.4 and PowerPC Macs (as a side note, I've never seen the site go down; whatever problems James noticed 9 months ago must've been a fluke).

    If your system can run the latest version, but you want to downgrade because you've experienced problems, please start a new thread and someone will try to help you.
    If you understand the security risks but want to downgrade anyway,

  • How can I use my external hard drive on both pc and mac, but also being able to use it to back up my mac data?

    I want to be able to transfer some of my files from my laptop to my macbook, but not all of them. I have a NTFS external hard drive and I have heard about reformatting it so that it can read/write across both systems, but can I still use this hard drive to back up the data on my macbook? If I can, how should I go about reformatting the hard drive?

    FORMAT TYPES
    FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
    Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
    Maximum file size: 4GB.
    Maximum volume size: 2TB
    You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
    NTFS (Windows NT File System)
    Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
    Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
    To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
    For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
    Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
    Maximum file size: 16 TB
    Maximum volume size: 256TB
    You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
    HFS+ ((((MAC FORMAT)))) (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
    Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
    Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
    To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
    Maximum file size: 8EiB
    Maximum volume size: 8EiB
    You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
    EXFAT (FAT64)
    Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
    Not all Windows versions support exFAT. 
    exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
    Maximum file size: 16 EiB
    Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
    You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive.  See "disadvantages" for details.

  • Can i use ANY external CD/DVD drive with the NEW mac mini?

    We just got the newest Mac Mini and want to get an external drive for importing and burning CD's and DVD's.
    Can we use ANY external CD/DVD drive or do we NEED to use the "Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive."
    Thanks
    Eliot

    Maybe.
    I've had some situations where a non-Apple DVD drive would not do a particular job.  When I tried the same project with the Apple SuperDrive everything worked perfectly.
    This is an area where I would not try to save money.

  • Can I used the same MSN  with Windows and Mac?

    I have a emachine PC. And I just purchase a ibook G4. My concern is: I am about to connect to the internet witn MSN. Can i used the same with both, Mac and Windows? I mean, the same internet connection?
    LightBearer.

    All you'll need is a router. You can get a wireless one or a wired one. They're pretty cheap.

  • Can I use my old AIr Port Extreme with my new Mac Pro with Lion installed? It has worked well with the G-4 that I'm replacing.

    Can I use my old Airport Exteme with my new Mac Pro with Lion installed? It has worked well for years with my G-4.

    I'm smarter now. It worked fine.

  • Can I use my shuffle with Windows and Mac?

    My shuffle works great with my computer running windows, but doesn't mount on my Apple, or recognized by iTunes (on my G4).
    Can I use the Shuffle on both computers?

    Yes you can. The iPod Shuffle always uses FAT32 so it's compatible with both OSes out of the box. With a dual 800 I'm guessing you've got USB 1.1 ports. You're also running 10.4.2 so you should be fine. I've used my shuffle with a Windows PC running XP via USB 2.0 and my upgraded Sawtooth running 10.3.9 via USB 1.1 (both direct port and via the keyboard).
    Note that there is no "manual" mode for the shuffle so iTunes won't show you what's on there unless you let it remove all the songs first.

  • How can i use 3(or more) hdmi monitors with the new Mac Pro(2013)?

    I've been looking around, trying to find a solution to this problem.
    I saw at one place that an active thunderbold -> DVI will work with the older mac pro model.
    Will this work with the new one as well?
    Will i be able to connect 3 screens if i use 2 passive thunderbold->hdmi and one
    active thunderbold->dvi and then a dvi->hdmi?

    If you need to buy Apple's $99 Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapters you may find you need to return and replace the adapter/s till you find one that works.
    Recently, after my nMP arrived I bought two adapters. It took 3 trips to the Apple store to find a second one that worked properly. This also happened a few months ago when I was buying those adapters.
    You should be aware that you'll also need the DVI cable that has the full set of pins, not the one with the row in the middle missing.
    If you check on the Apple customer reviews in the online store you'lll find the issues and possible solutions to this situation.
    Eventually I returned the second adapter when I found a way to get 2560 x 1600 through the HDMI port. I now have two 30" monitors that display 2560 x 1600.

  • Can i use my license for one work computer(windows) and my personal computer(Mac)?

    As the title says. I's it possible? After what i could find i'ts possible if both computer are running the same OS?

    To run that on a Mac, you'd have to first install Windows using Bootcamp or Parallels or similar.
    Then install CS6 in the virtual Windows environment.
    With the Cloud version, you can install natively on either Mac and/or Windows without any operating system specific issues.
