How to open mac os extended journaled hdd in windows 8?

Hi I just bought a new 2TB HDD and i formatted it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). However when I tried to open it on my PC with Windows 8 it was detected but not loaded. Is there any way that I can read and write this HDD on Windows 8?
Thanks.

Buy a copy of HFS for Windows.

  • How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?

    How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?
    I used to store my pictures on an external hard drive using the latest version of Aperture. Now I tried migrating my Aperture library to Photos. However, after a short moment an error message popped up telling me that "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions...".
    My external HDD doesn't need any permission repairs nor is the system prohibited to read from or write to it.
    Thanks for any advice in advance!

    My guess is that the encryption is the problem for the new app.

    I do not seem to have that as an option. Attached is a screen shot with the gear popup open. I simply copied the event and projct folders from my desktop so I could contiue working while on a trip with my laptop.

  • Why i can't find the external HDD plugged to airport extreme. i already format it with mac OS extended (journaled)

    Why i can't find the external HDD plugged to airport extreme. i already format it with mac OS extended (journaled).
    Does only certain branch of HDD can be connected to aireport extreme?
    I collect some information and i knew i have to partiion the HDD into Mac OS extended (journaled),
    and i did so. Still the usb HDD cannot be found.
    The other question is, can i partition the HDD into two sections, one of it is Mac OS extended(journaled) while the other is Fat32?
    I want to share Fat32 section with another PC with windows system.
    Thanks a lot if you have any suggestions.

    I had tried to set up the connection via usinb a powered usb hub as the bridge between external HDD and the airport extreme. i still cannot found the HDD in the "airport utilities".
    This is my setting.
    1. Set airport extreme  as "sharing-single-ip" mode. The wireless network functions correctly.
    2. Connect external HDD to MBA. Partition it into single-partition with Mac OS extended (journaled).
    3. The HDD can be found if i plugged it directly to my MBA.
    4. Connect a powered usb hub to airport extreme.
    5. Connect external HDD to the powered usb hub.
    6. Open airport utilities.
         a. Select "airport extreme" in the sidebar.
         b. Change the "Disks" sheet.
    7. Cannot find an external Disk
    Is there any problem here?
    Please help me. Thanks a lot!!

  • How can I transfer my iphoto library from a Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) harddrive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) hard drive?

    Community,
    Every time I try to transfer my iphoto library from a Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) harddrive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) hard drive, I receive the attached message: "You can't copy 'iPhoto Library' because it has the same name as another ideon on the destination volume, and that volume doesn't destinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames."
    My theory is, if I am able to unpackage my iphoto library, I can transfer each folder one at a time so that I can trouble shoot any "duplicates." Will this work?
    Let's say that works. How can I repackage the library so iphoto recognizes it?
    Is there a better way?
    Thank you,
    Jonathan

    Can we assume that I don't have any naming conflicts? Clearly there are or else I wouldn't get the error I'm getting.
    The error doesn't mean you have name conflicts. It means that the Finder won't take the chance that you might have them.
    You're suggesting that all I would need to do would be to use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer the files from the case-sensative harddrive to my Extended Journaled harddrive?
    Yes. But I would just use the built-in rsync shell command. First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
    rsync -aE --delete
    Now drag the iPhoto library you want to copy into the window. You should have something like this:
    rsync -aE --delete /Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library
    Drag the Pictures folder on the destination volume into the window. Now you have this (line will wrap on the page):
    rsync -aE --delete /Users/you/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library /Volumes/something/Users/you/Pictures
    Press return. The copying operation will start. When it finishes, you'll see a new dollar-sign ("$") prompt below what you entered. If there were no errors, you're done.

  • How to format an external hard disk Mac Os Extended (Journaled)?

    hello
    I connect an external hard disk (2.5' IDE Western Digital Scorpio Blue, WD2500BEVE) via USB or FireWire to my Mac mini. The Disk Utility tool shows an external disk drive of 128 GB - but the disk has 250 GB. How can I format the external USB/Firewire-harddisk 250 GB "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"?
    I tried also to format the disk on a Windows PC (Windows XP). But I could not find a software to format "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
    Any hints on this? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

    As I use theses hard disks in a external hard disk case, I'm asking me whether my hard disk cases do not support more that 128 GB disk capacity. Is that realistic?
    It is not only realistic but probably the reason your Mac cannot see more than 128 GB of the capacity of the drives mounted in them. It has nothing to do with the interface between the Mac & case (like Firewire) but instead with the controller in the case that connects the raw ATA drive to that interface. Older ATA standards used a 28 bit LBA (logical block address) scheme to access the disk. For 512 bytes per sector this works out to a maximum of 128 GB of addressable disk capacity. The ATA-6 standard, also called Ultra-ATA/100 or just ATA-100, increased the bits in the address space from 28 to 48, with a disk capacity limit of 2 petabytes.
    ATA-6 was introduced in 2001, so any external drive case made before then for ATA drives will be forever limited to 128 G. Even now, some come with a controller that does not support the ATA-6 standard, & essentially none have all the hardware to support its full 48 bits of address capacity. However, since 2 PB (2000 terabyte) drives won't be available anytime soon, all you really need is a case that is ATA-6 or better compliant & supports enough address bits for the largest drive you intend ever to put in it.
    Case makers don't usually make this information easily available but many now include a "bullet" spec about the maximum capacity their case supports, typically rounded off to simple numbers like 320 GB, 500 GB, or whatever. If you can't find this info, you can assume that the newer the case the more likely it is to support larger capacity drives, or just buy one with a good return policy & test it yourself with the largest raw drive you own.

  • How much does it cost to replace a 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display on a mac os extended journaled 2008 silver backing and black inner lip

    how much does it cost to replace a 13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display on a mac os extended journaled 2008 silver backing and black inner lip

    A lot depends on if you are having Apple do the replacement or an authorized repair or another source.  The Apple prices seem to run in the neighborhood of $500, some have posted prices as low as $200 from un-authorized sources.
    Check with an Apple store or authorized service first so you have a reference point...and be sure to take into consideration the confidence you feel in the repair facility, you often get what you pay for.

  • How can I partition my external hard drive into NTFC and Mac OS Extended Journaled?

    I brought a 1tb external hard drive from Western Digital. It currently have one partition which is Mac OS X (Journaled). I want to have two partition, one Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and one NTFC for Windows. When I try to choose 2 partition and choose a partition type, I only get the following choices:
    1. Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)
    2. Mac OS X Extended (Case-Sensitive, Journaled)
    3. MS-DOS (FAT)
    4. ExFAT
    5. Free Space
    I don't want to use MS-DOS (FAT) because I am limited to only 32gb of space and I need plenty of space for Windows files.

    Assuming that  entire drive is GUID and you keep the existing journaled partition.
    Make a second partition that is exFAT (more storage ability than FAT) using DU.
    Then mount the drive on a Windows 7 and reformat that exFAT as NTFS.  But remember that Mac can read and write exFAT natively, but cannot write NTFS without special software.  Perhaps exFAT is what you want.
    But more the the point: is the journaled partition used as a backup device?  If it is, I would leave that drive alone as a backup drive and use a second device for "data only" sharing between types.

  • Cloned drive reads as MS-DOS even though formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

    Question: How can I get my friend's MacBook 5,1 to properly boot from a cloned drive?
    I have a friend with a MacBook 5,1 and I'm trying to help her to install a new hard drive. I followed the instructions here using Apple Disk Utility to clone the hard drive. For cloning, I had the original drive in the laptop and the clone was attached via an external SATA to USB adapter. The specs on the drive are here:
    WD Scorpio Black 500 GB SATA Hard Drives ( WD5000BPKT)
    After I cloned the drive I set it to boot, externally, on startup and was successful. I placed a test file in the Desktop folder of the cloned drive and confirmed on startup that I was indeed booting off the clone. The problem occurred when I attempted to install and then boot the drive from within the laptop. I received a blinking folder with a question mark. I then attached the old drive via the SATA to USB adapter, booted up, and opened Disk Utility (note: click image to see full size):
    Note the partion size, name, and size are nothing like what I originally saw. So I swapped the old drive back in, attached the clone externally and had a look to see what Disk Utility showed (note: click image to see full size):
    Summary of differences:
    Feature
    Internally
    Externally
    Volume Name
    DISK0S1
    Macintosh HD
    Format
    MS-DOS (FAT)
    Mac OS Extneded (Journaled)
    Size
    62.51 GB
    499.76 GB
    Partition Map Scheme
    Master Boot Record
    GUID Partition Table
    So for some reason the drive shows one partion scheme/size/name when mounted externally, and another completely different set when mounted internally. I'm inclined to believe the second since I did successfully boot from this drive externally.
    Is it possible I just need to clear the Master Boot Record? Or is there some other solution that should work?
    Finally, here's the Disk Utility log:

    I'll have access to the machine again next Tuesday. I can do more tests then re: holding down the Option key. I did try a bunch of key combinations during boot that I found online but none seemed to have any affect. I only received the blinking Folder icon.
    The original hard drive has a single partition. As shown in the logs above, the replacement drive was formatted with a single partition. I am noticing one anomaly in the logs, which seems to indicate both failure and success. I don't remember seeing any indication via the GUI that there were any issues.

  • Boot Camp won't partition my disc because it says I need to reformat as a single mac os extended (journaled) even though it already is.

    I'm trying to partition my Macbook Pro early 2011 with Boot Camp Assistant so I can run Windows 7, however when I tell it to create the partition I get an error that says:
    "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. ... Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    Problem is, my Macbook is already a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled)! Any idea of what I should do to get around this? Do I have to wipe and restore my files? I'm using Boot Camp 4.0.1

           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive and click on the upward pointing arrow button.
    After startup do the following:
    Erase internal hard drive
      1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      2. After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the
           mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the
           drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is
           failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be
           reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the
           DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the
           drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
           (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
           GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait
           until the process has completed.
    Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
    Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.
    I've come across this problem myself, so I attempted this procedure, although I receive an input/output error when trying restore my internal hdd to my external. I have never a problem with either. Could I instead create an image using DU and save it to the external drive then extract that image to my internal drive later? If so, is there any additional steps I need to take?

  • Mac OS Extended Journaled Encrypted Inquiry

    Hello,
    I'm a new Mac user. I had my first ever computer (MacBook Pro) last April 11, 2014 or April 12, 3014. Seriously, it's awesome. I am still adjusting specially when uninstalling applications but I'm getting used to it since most apps does not have an uninstaller.
    Anyway, I have this 1TB external hard drive. And by default the format is in NTFS. I'm not getting the entire 1TB. When I formatted it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) I was so amazed. I am getting the entire 1TB. I even plugged it on my Windows 8 computer. It worked great. Now, I am thinking of using Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted). So whenever I plug it to my Mac, it will ask for the password of the hard drive right? Do you think the same thing will happen on Windows 8 whenever I use it there?
    Now, what if the computer that I used to format the hard drive, let's say there's a new OS X and I decided to do a fresh installation of the OS. Do you think it can still read my external hard drive that is formatted to Encrypted Journaled?
    Thanks.

    How about moving files from an NTFS external hard drive to another external hard drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted)? I cannot move it. I did some research and I think to move files, all you need to do is to drag everything. Whenever I do it on my NTFS external hard drive and another external hard drive with a different file system, it just copies everything. I had to manually delete everything after the copying is finished.
    You don't want to move files when copying between drives. What if it fails on file 2,833,112 of 2,833,114?
    Another thing, I think there are a lot of hidden files in my NTFS drive. I opened up Terminal and entered "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1" after that, instead of rebooting I just used ALT+Right clicking on the Finder and clicking on Relaunch. I saw both of those commands on Apple Support Communities. Is there an easier way to show those hidden files?
    No
    And may you please confirm if there is really a Cut command on Finder? And how can I disable the generation of the ".DS_store" file? Also whenever I launch Finder and browse on something then decided to view it in full screen, I have to use "Clean up by Name" so that the entiere screen will be filled by the files/folders. Is there a way like in Windows, wherein you can set it as "Auto arrange"? And where is the option to "Reset All Folder Views" something like what's in Windows?
    It is thoes DS_Store files that save your layout settings. That is a by-product of using foreign disk drives. You are tilting at windmills here. Just leave the hidden files hidden.

  • I need help with boot camp. "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."

    This message appears every time I try to partition my disk:
    "Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    I verified my Macintosh HD disk on Disk utility and then tried to repair it, but I am unable to click the repair button.
    It says it's not available because the startup disk is selected.
    I don't know what to do or how to go about both these problems.
    Please, any suggestions?

  • Unable to format external hard disk as mac os extended (journaled)

    Have just bought a 750gb Western digital HDD. To be able to use it to store video to use in i movie it needs to be formatted in mac os extended (journal). However when I try to do this in disk utility I get a volume erase error reporting an error on exit. the resulting disk is then unreadable until it is formatted back to MS-Dos (fat) again. Any tips or have I just wasted my money on a disk that is not compatible. On the box it says it is compatible with OSX 10.2.8+?

    Try the directions in this article. They are for formatting a drive for Time Machine but will work just fine for your purposes.
