Cant Transfer File from Mac to External Hard drive? Drive Formatted in NTFS?

[@TheGreatWall002]

You should really consider turning the Click sound up even louder and make your voice even quieter.

[@ILuvTrading]

+James Franko lol!! Message noted. I don't enable clicking sound anymore.

[@Dominion-1]

I hope James Franko was being sarcastic. Nice video but the clicking sound was really annoying. Keep up the great work.

[@TheGreatWall002]

Total sarcasm. The clicking was the most obnoxious sound ever. Making a video 101, turn the effing click sound off. It's common sense

[@studioedin5288]

That's why you should backup your files. The tutorial wasn't completely clear on that, but you should definitely make a copy of your files on your computer before messing with Disk Utility.

But is there any way to do that without even loosing any of my data? Like converting NTFS to ExFat, but without erasing/formatting the whole disk.

[@abhinavgoyal2630]

Thank you very much for teaching us this! For years I have wondered why some external drives allow file transfer between both Mac and PC (these external drives were likely already formatted as ExFAT), or did not allow transfer of Mac files to the external drive (these drives were likely formatted as OS X Extended). Simple solution and great tutorial!

[@alaza630]

Its really work ! *WARNING* transfer all your files in your harddisk first and then u can format. follow this step.it is so easy. 1.transfer all your files on your hardisk.whether to another harddisk,pc or to your mac if the storage is enough. 2.connect your harddisk with no files to your mac 3.click search on your mac (top right), type DISK UTILITY 4.click your external harddisk name then there is ERASE on top 5.click erase then choose format "ExFAT" 6.finish.u can transfer all your files on your harddisk. Thanks.

Dont use the drive before u use data recovery software to recover the files. Otherwise, say bye to your files

[@tayakristo3561]

This is a really poor presentation. Some people are not tech savvy and u should make it SUPER clear that files will be gone once you erase. Also, after this action the hard drive will not be recognized/impossible to use by a windows system.

If you are lacking enough storage on your mac to temporarily keep your files, just transfer them to another computer via your hard drive. Then, once the process is completed and the hard drive is wiped, put your files back onto the hard drive using the other computer and voila everything is done!

[@sonad1213]

I found this helpful to understanding why I couldn't move things and it was exactly the NTFS thing. I didn't want to risk deleting everything so I just used another flash drive that did work on the Mac to transfer my files onto there first and then used my Windows PC to transfer it from the small flash drive to my backup drive. A bit longer, but at least I have everything where I want it now!

This is not a solution, you are just formatting the external disk under FAT32 but you are not giving a solution to be able to transfer data from and to an external disk NTFS with a Mac.
