I&#39;ve been using the tuxera ntfs driver for mac for a long time, but before that it would mount it as read only I think. May have had to manually mount it though.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 3:42 PM, AZ Pete <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:plug@cactusfamily.com" target="_blank">plug@cactusfamily.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

      I&#39;m not an Apple guy so I thought I might ping fellow Pluggers who
      may be familiar with Mac OS.<br>

      My son needed to provide a USB flash drive to his science teacher
      so the teacher could copy several videos to the drive. The teacher
      who uses an an Apple (don&#39;t know make/model) returned the drive as
      &quot;unreadable&quot; when I know the device works fine. I gave him another
      one and things worked ok. After the fact, I noticed that the &quot;bad&quot;
      flash drive was formatted NTFS, while the one that worked was
      formatted FAT32.<br>

    </font><font face="Calibri">Can Apple OS read a USB flash drive if
      it is formatted with Windows NTFS filesystem?</font> Or must it be
    formatted FAT32?<br>

    Thanks,<br>
