If the mac isn’t allowing you to pen files on the drive you may need to change or repair permissions. If you want to be able to save or put files on the drive you will need one of th eNTFS plug in utilities as OS X natively doesn’t support writing to NTFS drives but should read it fine. Also PT may not allow you to set NTFS drives for use within the app so for PT projects you may have to move it off the external in finder to another drive before attempting to open a project. > On Apr 13, 2015, at 2:13 PM, Poppa Bear <[email protected]> wrote: > > I know I can do that, but I didn’t want to have to back up a TB worth of info > to another drive before I format it.
