Did Apple change something at the level of their native NTFS support in Yosemite???????????? I've got an NTFS drive (USB), 1TB, labeled 'FC-Backup', that I can't managed to get write access to. No matter what I do in fstab, using LABEL or UUID, that doesn't work. Mounting it manually (to some mount point on the Desktop for example) doesn't work better, I get some warning on the command line from 'mount_ntfs' saying the file system is read-only and I don't even see the files on the drive doing so. 'completely lost!!!!
If you experimented with NTFS-3G and MacFUSE, you might need to clean those up as well before installing the newer Tuxera. You probably have reasons for sticking with 10.8, but your machine is compatible with every OS X following up to 10.13, and likely 10.14 soon.
If it's to point me to some stuff found on Google, please stop loosing your/my time, I've been through this. The same for those who know some good 3rd party NTFS file system driver(s). Minecraft co-op maps for 2 players machines. That's NOT what I'm after, nor some 'good' advices about other file systems, again: that's NOT my point.
I'm looking for a way to (really.) activate the native NTFS write support that OS X has (or had until recently at least.) Thanks in advance! I know I'd be faster off using a 3rd party driver. But it's unfair to say Apple's driver was not stable, it's been in use by MANY people for a long time, without any known major issue.
If they changed something recently, they should at least communicate it, 'just respect for their customers. And the current status is somehow unacceptable anyway.
I'd say: make it work or take it away, don't leave 'experimental' stuff within a production OS. That's simply not professional. I'll dig a bit into earlier OS X versions to see if I can see some changes. Apple has never officially supported write capability on NTFS drives.
If you look around these forums, you can find somewhat complex Terminal commands to make it work. But it's unsupported and undocumented for a reason - because it's unstable.
As in, no guarantee you won't lose data. Tuxera, as linked to above is one option that works.
Another that costs less and is both well known and works is. Or, if the purpose is to share data on external devices between the Mac and Windows, format them in Windows as exFAT. No extra drivers needed on either side for read/write access. I'm not angry, just a bit disapointed. I spent several years writing device drivers (profrssionnally), if I had implemented some undocumented features, and I knew someone was using it, I'd have done my best to keep it working.
The NTFS driver that once worked has hardly become suddently incompatible. The whole mechanics around installable file system drivers remained compatible with all other drivers (Apple's and 3rd parties), so I'm wondering what happened to Apple's NTFS module.
But I guess I'm not gonna get any sound answer to that. Apple Footer • This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
