Mac cannot write to NTFS GoFlex

Options

‎08-22-2012 12:51 PM

I recently moved all of my iTunes music files from a max'd out 80GB external HD to a new 1TB GoFles drive. I set it up to use both Mac and Windows, and the existing music plays fine after pointing iTunes on the Macbook Pro (running Lion) to the GoFlex iTunes music directory. The problem is that the drive appears to be seen as read only by the Mac when trying to rip new music to it. Is there a utility to enable NTFS on the GoFlex to be written to by the Mac? Thanks!

We have an NTFS driver available that will give your drive write-access. You can find the download here:
