Hi, In my opinion yes, it could be a formatting issue with your external drive. I have a 1tb hard drive that I couldn't copy things to when I first got my mac but I could with windows computers. I think I ended up having to back everything from the external hard drive up to my mac's drive and then format it in something like fat fx or something. If you'd like I can check the formatting on that drive later but it's upstairs right now so I'm not able to do it now.
